In the human world, stones are essential materials for building structures. In games like “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim,” stones pretty much do the same purpose. This guide will tell you where to find and get Quarried Stone in the game.
What Is A Quarried Stone In ‘The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’?
In “Skyrim,” the Quarried Stone is a building material first introduced in the game with the launch of the Hearthfire DLC back in 2012. So, this stone has been around for quite some time now.
This stone is a vital component for building many of the structures and stations you can add to your personal homestead.
So how does a “Skyrim” gamer find and get Quarried Stone? Read on.
Ways To Get Quarried Stone
Get It From Drafting Table And Carpenter Workshops
The most popular place to find Quarried Stone, alongside other primary materials you might need, is at the drafting table and carpenter’s workshops at homesteads.
These homesteads have chests nearby them containing all the materials you will need to construct a basic house. Usually, there is enough Quarried per one house so you can start working on a basic project. But, you can be smart enough and gather Quaried Stones from various homesteads, then use them all to build one house.
Mine It
If you have already collected all the Quarried Stones available from homestead chests, mining is the only other way to get them. But remember, the mining nodes for these can be challenging and tricky for some players to locate, though if you look long enough, you will see dozens of them on “Skyrim’s” map.
The first locations where you can mine Quarried Stone are near homesteads. Heading to the Lakeview Manor, you will find a quarry where you can mine Quarried Stone. Meanwhile, in the Windstad Manor, you will find an Anvil. Next to this is a Quarried Stone. Follow this guide.
Once you have depleted the homesteads and mines near them, it is best that you proceed to the Battle-Born Farm or Embershard Mine for your next mining site. These places shall provide an unlimited supply of Quarried Stone, which refills every few days. Though, remember, always bring a Pickaxe with you for mining.

Instead, you must quarry your stone. Quarrying it only takes around 20 minutes.
Uses Of Quarried Stone
You have learned how to get Quarried Stone in “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.” But stick around because you will learn how to use your Quarried Stone.
The primary function of Quarried Stone is to build three leading houses, namely the Lakeview Manor in Falkreath, the Heljarchen Hall in The Pale, and the Windstad Manor in Hjaalmarch.
Once you reach homestead properties, you will find small corners and areas where drafting tables, workbenches, and crafting chests are. This is where you will basically use your Quarried Stone to work on blueprints or specific upgrades.
Wrapping Up
Obtaining Quarried Stone in “Skyrim” is not well-elaborated in the game. Some Quarried Stones are included in chests near the three available homesteads in the game, but you may also mine them in the open world at particular locations.
However, you should know that Quarried Stone serves no purpose in the game apart from being a material in building a house. You cannot use it for any other crafting. It is useless until you buy the land from your homestead.
