Elder Scrolls V: Is there a reliable, continuous source for dragon locations?
Posted On: August 26, 2023

I'm trying to gather bones and scales to make armor for one character, and I've come to realize that there's never really any dragons around when you want them to be.


Is there a reliable, continuous source (i.e.: radiant quest giver with a dragon obsession) for dragon locations?


Ideally, this would be a source that still works effectively in end-game scenarios. Such as when you've completed all the major questlines (story, civil war, factions), all of the prominent side-quest lines (daedra, divine, etc.), and found and cleared all of the Word Walls. It would really be perfect if the quest-giver only issued dragon quests but, if there isn't such a person, I suppose I could work with one that asked for other tasks in between now and then.


Question from user Iszi at stackexchange.


Answer:

Even though you can kill their guardians and get a Cleared Map tag under the location, exterior Word Walls will eventually respawn, both Dragon and Chest.


If you crisscross across Skyrim via Fast Travel, you should get more than enough Dragon Bones / Scales from previously cleared Word Walls that have since respawned.


If you're still looking for more dragons, you can still use the Word Walls, just wait for an in-game week (or however long it takes) then repeat your circuit across Skyrim.
