You can find Imp Stools in holes. Some of the best places to look are:
- Chillwind Depths
- Halldir’s Cairn
- Tolvald’s Cave in the Rift
Skyrim also has shops where you can buy this strange material to use in alchemy.
You can also steal a few pieces of Imp Stool from alchemy shops. These pieces are kept on shelves and counters.
Let’s take a look at all of these ways to help you build up your stock.

Imp Stool Farming
If you have the Hearthfire add-on, you can easily grow and farm Imp Stools by building a house with a yard and a greenhouse.
You’ll also have a small yard outside the house where you can grow other plants and food.
But to make an Imp Stool, you need a fully equipped greenhouse with 18 spots of good soil. Then, you can put one Imp Stool in each patch of dirt.
Wait outside the house for three days, and Imp Stools will grow inside the garden and be ready to pick.
After picking, you can wait another three days for more to grow in the house.
Then, you can keep doing this until you have as many Imp Stools as you need.
Also, don’t forget about the eleven (11) patches of fertile soil in your yard.
They will act just like any other Imp Stool that grows in the garden, and they will also come back after three days.
Unlike the plants you find in caves, you can get up to four Imp Stool samples from each plant you grow in a greenhouse or yard. This useful restart is a big reason why you might want to grow your own.
What If I Don’t Have The Hearthfire Add-On?
If you don’t have the Hearthfire add-on and have already gotten everything you can from the caves with the Imp Stool, you could try going to every alchemy shop in Skyrim.
Many of the shopkeepers will sell you an Imp Stool if you just ask.
You can also take Imp Stool from the bins inside their shops.
Imp Stool Uses
Damage Health, Lingering Damage Health, Paralysis, and Restore Health are some of the effects of Imp Stools.
Because of this, it can be used to make a lot of strong medicines.
For example, you can mix Imp Stool with another substance (like Mora Tapinella or Orange Dartwing) to make a Lingering Damage Health Poison that keeps hurting health.
You can also make a lot of Restore Health Potions by mixing Imp Stool with Blue Mountain Flowers, which is a pretty common ingredient.
This is a great way to get to the next level of alchemy quickly.
