Best way to get Ebony Ore/Ingots?

[DreadAngel]

I need it for my Daedric armour. So far I've only got the Gauntlets. I know of the veins on the Throat of the World and in Blackreach, any other places?

Mehrune's Razor quest, there is lots of ebony in there. Also near Windhelm there is an orc settlement with all the ebony you could possibly handle. I reccommend going to the orc settlement b4 the Mehrune's razor quest. Shorter and more profitable. Also the mine the orcs own has a full blacksmith's hut outside

There are at least two mines that have ebony, one you have to clear of spiders first (although some mods fix it to be iron because that's what the locals say it is, in which case they usually move the ebony to a mine halfway up a mountain not that far away). The other is more tricky because IIRC the ebony veins are flagged as belonging to the Orcs who own the mine (unlike most other mines where even if there's people working there you can mine to your heart's content) - I don't think they attack if you mine but you may get a bounty and/or hired thugs. I could be remembering that wrongly, though.

I've been deliberately vague, but if you want to know exact locations, check the UESP wiki (google 'UESP ebony mine') it's full of useful info like this.

If you have the Dragonborn DLC installed, Raven Rock Mine is home to 9 veins of ebony ore as well as ore from slain Ash Spawn throughout the island.

: Gloombound Mine — A large ebony ore mine southeast of Windhelm, within the Orc stronghold of Narzulbur, that also contains some iron ore veins.

: Redbelly Mine — A small ebony mine located in Shor's Stone.

though if you have the unofficial patch installed Redbelly has been changed to IRON and the Ebony moved to
: Northwind Mine — A small iron mine on the northern side of Northwind Summit

Narzulbur! YES! That was the orc name I forgot. I hate those things...

Did you even read the description!?

Well use a mod like complete crafting overhaul it lets you smelt all gear you come across ... or coin replacer redux that makes that the dwemmer have a own coin and guess what's it made of? you can just smelt the coins to bars.

You can walk in and mine as much as you want they will make it plain you're not welcome but they won't hinder you in any way. Even if you're caught stealing they won't attack you either pay the fine or pay blood price. They're plain speaking to the point of bluntness but they are honourable folk.
