Respawn time?

Post » Tue Jun 05, 2012 7:13 am

Simple question, Does anyone know what the respawn time is on dungeons and flora ( herbs for alchemy if any respawn )

I notised a wierd thing during my 2th playthrough. First playthrough I used fast travel all the time, I was impatient and wanted to see as much as posible as fast as I could. While i didnt check up 100% im fairly sure stuff would respawn over time.

I installed a few mods to improve visuals, and I really like to wanderer around in the world. So I never used fast travel 2th time. Now most of the flora around Whiterun has gone since day 1 where I collected it. and here 38 days into the game nothing has respawned. Nor has the mudcraps along the rivers.

Simple answer, it's 10 days with the exceptions on dungeon and other location who get the cleared flag, they have 30 days respawn, ores is said to have 30 days respawn but not sure of this is outdoor ore or just ore in dungeons.

More complicated, Oblivion had 3 days and visiting the area reset the respawn counter so areas you was a lot like your main city will seldom respawn.

I guess Skyrim also have a visiting cooldown but it's less than 10 days as barrels in Whiterun respawns and I has never been away 10 days. I guess Skyrim uses something like 9 days and then one day away or 7 days + 3 days away.
