Firewood are miscellaneous items in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Description[]
Firewood can be chopped at wood chopping blocks found in many cities, settlements, farms and camps throughout Skyrim, and can also be found lying about. Firewood can either be sold directly to merchants for 2 
or turned in to mill workers and innkeepers, who accept them for 5 
a piece. Firewood is also used to upgrade some weapons at grindstones (e.g. common bows). In the first add-on, Dawnguard, firewood is used to craft arrows, bolts and the crossbow.
A Woodcutter's Axe or the Poacher's Axe must be present in the Dragonborn's inventory to be able to chop wood.
Every time the firewood chopping animation is activated, two pieces of firewood are produced. Each woodcutting session yields six pieces of firewood.
Rarely, firewood can be found and picked up like normal loot in Dragonborn and Dawnguard. There are twenty-two of them in Highpoint Tower, for example, and some can be found in the ruins in the Volkihar Dungeons. In the base game, firewood can be found in some inns and two pieces can be found in Swindler's Den.
Followers can be commanded to chop firewood and carry it. They can carry firewood beyond their maximum weight capacity if the Dragonborn continues to instruct them to chop the firewood.
Locations to turn in firewood[]
- "If you've got an axe, you can always make gold chopping wood. Just bring me everything you cut."
- ―Mill owners[src]
Bugs[]
|
This section contains bugs related to Firewood. Before adding a bug to this list, consider the following:
|
- If the firewood is pickpocketed off of somebody while they are holding it, it will not disappear from their arms.
- This is due to the programming of characters carrying firewood. Since they are programmed to carry the wood as part of their occupation, it will continue to play even if there is none in their inventory.
