It is categorized as an uncommon ingredient, meaning that all apothecary merchants have a 15% chance of carrying 1-5 samples. In addition, it may be randomly found in uncommon- and rare-type apothecary's satchels.
Creatures
Ectoplasm is dropped by all varieties of ghosts and other ethereal undead, including dragon cultists, sanctuary guardians, and spectral warhounds.
Notes
- Ectoplasm is frequently confused with glow dust, which comes from wispmothers, and has completely different alchemical properties.
- 3 bowls of ectoplasm are needed at grindstones to improve the Ghostblade (requires the Arcane Blacksmith perk).
- It is one of 3 items needed at the Atronach Forge to create a conjurer's elixir.
- The base magnitude of the Fortify Destruction effect for this ingredient is 4 instead of 5. This is only relevant if ectoplasm and nightshade are combined, in which case the resulting potion will have a 20% smaller magnitude than a typical custom Fortify Destruction potion.
