Notes

• Contrary to what is stated in the official Game Guide, spriggans only drop taproot, and never drop spriggan sap.
  • The Unofficial Skyrim Patch, version 2.0.0, addresses this issue. Both ingredients can be dropped when spriggans die.
• Objects which look exactly like Taproots in netting can be found in witches' lairs, Hagraven nests and Forsworn camps and are apparently used as light sources by the inhabitants. You cannot harvest taproot from these objects, however.
• Although all varieties of spriggan are different colors, the harvested taproot of each one is always the brown and green of the base type of spriggan.
