Agents and Reagents/Beast Parts

Real author : David S. J. Hodgson (Writter), Brynn Metheney (Artist) Original media : The Hero's Guides to The Elder Scrolls Online Comment : This book is the journal of a wizard's apprentice, focusing on alchemical studies. By Gargrell Sorick, 2E 578 Ingredient Classification 7: Beast Parts T he wilderness away from Wayrest is teeming with wildlife, and those legged and snarling are usually the types we require for these ingredients. It is important to understand that only base creature that lack higher intelligence make acceptable fodder; those intending to hunt and skin a beast race, such as an Orc or a Khajiit, will be turned away, and reported to the town's watch if they become belligerent. The Master makes only one exception; although the senche-tigers are a relative of the Khajiit, they are primitive enough to be slain and harvested (although apothecaries in Elsweyr tend not to favor such barbarism). A wide variety of animals can be skinned and harvested being being presented as ingredients, and it is recommended that bears, wolves, and other easily hunted pray are targeted. Even skeever pelts are tolerated. Ragged pelts are simply fur and skin from these animals, prior to tanning. Ragged skins are striped from animals without a tick coat of fur, such as deer or elk. The entire carcass is not needed; “strip and sell,” as our local hunter friends say. Sharp claws are also beneficial, although since we lost First Apprentice Evangeline Beanique to that gangrenous infection (Arkay provide for her soul and for her family), extra care must be taken that such talons don't scratch the skin during preparation. Although sacks of animal feet are accepted, the removal of individual claws is both encouraged and rewarded with a slightly more favorable price. Also remember: As tanning removes the alchemical qualities of these parts, locate a blacksmith if you want to try bartering leather.
