Morrowind:Ash Salts

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

"Ash salts are hard grey crystals formed from the ash deposited by ash storms in the ash wastes and lava fields. Ash salts are most often collected from the remains of creatures like the ash slave, the ash ghoul, and ash zombie."

Ash Salts are found on the corpses of most Ash Creatures. For some reason, Resist Magicka is listed as both the second and fourth effects for this ingredient. It is not known whether this makes the ingredient any more potent for creating Resist Magicka potions, or if the extra effect is redundant and essentially useless.

Ash Salts can be purchased from the following restocking vendors:

• Eldrilu Dalen (5)
• Folvys Andalor (5)
• Relms Gilvilo (5)
• Scelian Plebo (5)
• Somutis Vunnis (5)
• Telis Salvani (5)
• Tivam Sadri (5)

The largest single source of free Ash Salts by far is the Urshilaku Burial Caverns. All of the Mummies buried here have a sample, along with Bonemeal. There are 34 of them total. No other single location has more than 2 guaranteed samples. Another good place to look is in Ancestral Tombs. Most tombs have from 1-4 "Cloth Sacks", each of which has an 60% chance of containing Ash Salts. Ash Salts are also often left as offerings around the burials in tombs.
