Where can I find leeks? : V

» Wed Jun 06, 2012 10:17 pm

I need leeks, unfortunately I can't find a vendor that keeps them on a regular basis. I know I found one farm on my last character that had them, but I can't remember where it was. If anyone can point me to any free leeks, preferably ones that respawn, I would greatly appreciate it.

Almost every farm has them growing, and you can pick them for free.

I generally find them under my sink.

I've found them in barrels (not many though). Farms are the best place.

For some reason I seem to recall some in Solitude. If you travel from Proudspire to where the vendors are, just before you go under the arch you should see some on the left. These respawn, but it takes awhile.

Pretty sure there are some in Dragonsreach's kitchen too.

Vegetable soup?

There's a small patch at the Riverside Shack.

their often the limiting ingredient in my attempt to make thousands upon thousands of vegetable soups.

I just take a leek whenever the need arises.

There are no leeks in barrels!!

LOL, Leek locations should be a page on Skyrim wiki.

D'oh

! Must be remembering finding grilled leeks in some of the bandit caves (although those are on the table and not in barrels). I usually grab the raw ones whenever I come across them so I can make soups.

Nice one.... :touched:

Seekrath is a good thief. Seekrath take them from farms and mixes with nirnroot and cabbage to make argonian salad yum

Most of the farms in front of Whiterun have them. Karnsdale Farm by Dragon Bridge.

» Wed Jun 06, 2012 3:28 pm

Various farms scattered across Skyrim have leaks. Maybe about half of them grow leeks. Yeah, they are the least common component for vegetable soup.

» Wed Jun 06, 2012 1:50 pm

I hoard leeks, too. Like people said, all the farms have them, and they should respawn every in-game month or so. Check the kitchens in Dragonsreach and the other castle kitchens.

Since leeks generally grow alongside potatoes and cabbages on farms, I often find tomatoes the hardest component to find for my soup. At least tomatoes can turn up at random, though...
