Variants

Smithing

Main article: Smithing (Skyrim)

Void Salts are used to improve the Nightingale Armor set at a workbench. Improvement values will scale with the Smithing skill level.

With the Dawnguard add-on, Void Salts are now also used in the crafting of the Exploding Steel Bolt of Shock or Exploding Dwarven Bolt of Shock. These can only be crafted at the forge in Fort Dawnguard after completing the relevant Dawnguard quests.

With the Dragonborn add-on, Void Salts are used as one of the ingredients for the crafting of the improved bonemold armor set, which provides more protection than the regular set.

Crafting

One can craft Void Salts at the Atronach Forge with the following items:

One Salt Pile
One Amethyst
One Soul Gem of any type (filled or empty)

Void Salts are also a key ingredient in making both the Storm Atronach itself as well as other Storm Atronach items (Scroll of Conjure Storm Atronach, Staff of the Storm Atronach) at the Atronach Forge.

Trivia
