Welkynd Stonesare one of the most useful items players can find inThe Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered,and getting a steady supply of them is the key to success as a magician in Cyrodiil. Since most spells consume heaps of Magicka, and Welkynd Stones will recharge all the character’s Magicka pool (no matter how high it is), they become indispensable for high-end magic-based builds.
In this guide, players will find information about Welkynd Stones, pinpointing the best locations to farm them and the best ways to use them inOblivion Remastered.
How To Use Welkynd Stones In Oblivion Remastered
Welkynd Stonescan be used directlyfrom the inventoryor associated with any of theshortcuts(1 to 8) from the hotbar. They work as a full recovery Magicka Potion, which will instantly recharge the Magicka bar, being destroyed in the process.
That means that players will have to consume them completely to recharge their Magicka Pool, and carry several of them if they know they will need them in battle. These consumablesbecome crucial for Spellcraft, since sometimes, spells likeBlizzardandDisintegrate Weapon(which are some of the most useful in the game) are costly in terms of Magicka, and casting various of these will make players drink a ton of potions.
For a spellcaster-focused player, having to carry loads of weight in Magicka Recovery Potion. Since a high-end Magicka Restore Potionweighs 0.5, and players might need2 or 3 to recover a 500 Magickapool, carrying one Welkynd Stone thatweighs 1is much more efficient in terms of encumbrance.
Where To Find Welkynd Stones In Oblivion Remastered
The best places to find Welkynd Stones inOblivion RemasteredareAyleid Ruins, which are spread all across Cyrodiil from north to south/east to west. Welkynd Stones will appear asglowing blue jewelsthat are often illuminating certain pillar-like structures, and are present as a common characteristic in every Ayleid Ruin the player can delve into.
It is important to mention that Welkynd Stonesdo not respawnlike other loot, so having them stashed at some of the many placesthe player can use as a base of operationis a smart move.
Players shouldn’t confuse Welkynd Stone withVarla Stones, which are far more valuable and can also be located in some Ayleid Ruins. Varla Stones are similar in shape to Welkynd Stones, but they are white, and their purpose is different: Theyrecharge all Enchanted Itemsthe player carries to the maximum with one use. Each Varla Stone costs 1000 Gold, so, in terms of value, they’re far more precious than the Welkynd Stones, and much scarcer as a resource.
Still, the best hotspots to get Welkynd Stones and farm them consistently in the early game are the following:
Most of these locations surround the Imperial City in a circular pattern, so players can start in each of these, and do a clockwise /counterclockwise sweep and loot them all consistently.
