Grindstones are used to sharpen edged melee weapons and reinforce bows and blunt weapons. Sharpening or reinforcing a weapon requires the consumption of an ingot or other object associated with the weapon type. The table below lists most variants and the necessary material(s):
Locations[edit]
Additionally, with Hearthfire installed, a grindstone can be added on the outside of each house built, in the cellar additions, and in armory wing additions.
Grindstone Required Materials[edit]
Notes[edit]
- The weapon shown when you interact with a grindstone is always an Iron Sword, even if you don't have one in your inventory. An Iron Sword is also used in the animation when NPCs use it.
- A maximum of three grindstones can be made at any homestead in the Hearthfire add-on: one at a smithing station on the outside, one in the Armory addition, and one in the Cellar.
Bugs[edit]
- Occasionally the graphic for the use of a grindstone may be messed up. In such situations the individual using the grindstone is sitting too far forward or backwards, and the weapon will clip through the stone or will not touch it at all. This is merely cosmetic, and can be fixed by standing and sitting on the grindstone again. ?
- The animation and/or audio of the grindstone may continue after you or an NPC are done using it. The same may happen if an NPC is killed while using the grindstone. ?
- This can be fixed by using the grindstone again and then exiting the animation.
