Salmon Roe



Salmon Roe is an ingredient that can be harvested from jumping salmon in streams (non-jumping and dead salmon do not carry any). Some swimming salmon can be killed (not caught) to obtain the ingredient. Salmon killed with an Unrelenting Force shout or a bow will also yield Salmon Roe. Three salmon can be killed at once by the weakest version of the shout.

Salmon Roe's Fortify Magicka duration is only 5 seconds, while the Waterbreathing effect is 60 seconds. This makes it unique, as Fortify Magicka is normally 60 seconds and Waterbreathing 5 seconds. Furthermore, the Waterbreathing effect is valued at 15.4 times higher than it is for other alchemical ingredients. Salmon Roe can therefore be used to create the most valuable potions in the game that do not use ingredients from the Rare Curios creation. The most expensive is:

Garlic + Nordic Barnacle + Salmon Roe

Followed by:

Chicken's Egg + Nightshade + Salmon Roe

And:

Histcarp + Jazbay Grapes + Salmon Roe

CombinationsEdit

In terms of combinations of two ingredients, Salmon Roe can be combined with 55 other ingredients.

IngredientsEdit

1 guaranteed sample can be found in up to 3 locations.

  • 1 in each kitchen wing (if constructed)

SourcesEdit

Salmon can be found in almost every flowing body of water. Locations with guaranteed jumping salmon are:

Two unique dead salmon yield roe when harvested. Their location is:

Salmon that swim in shallow water (areas that are marked as pond water), such as the area near the East Empire Company Warehouse near Solitude, under the bridge leading into Windhelm, or the fish hatchery at Windstad Manor, will yield salmon roe when "killed". They will not yield roe if they are simply harvested. Other areas of water that qualify are the area around the sunken ship in Lake Ilinalta and the harbor of Dawnstar. When killing salmon with Unrelenting Force, be careful not to hit NPCs across the water from you, as it will cause them to become aggressive.

NotesEdit

  • Salmon roe has the longest waterbreathing duration of any ingredient in the game, at a full 60 seconds.
  • Salmon roe will make a water-like sound when you pick it up, or store/take it out of a container.
  • Even at the base value of a skill (15) with no Fortify Alchemy effects, a crafted potion of waterbreathing with salmon roe will last 360 seconds. If you have a high level of Alchemy and wear overpowered Fortify Alchemy apparel (possible with the Fortify Restoration glitch), these values can skyrocket to 3,000 or more seconds of waterbreathing time.
