Treasures and Loot in the Whiterun Region of Skyrim

In this guide, we’ll explore the beautiful plains of Whiterun and the surrounding wilderness to uncover Notable Treasures and Loot in this iconic region of Skyrim. We’ll also cover a few Treasure maps.

Treasure Map I

Treasures and Loot in the Whiterun Region of Skyrim

After surviving the chaos in Helgen and emerging out of the cave into the beautiful world, run straight on into the woods to find a bandit camp. This is an unmarked location, but it’s very easy to find. These common bandits will be no trouble to dispatch. Loot the corpses to find this treasure map. It points towards a fallen tree just near Riverwood. Now, I understand that Riverwood is technically in the Falkreath Hold, but a treasure is a treasure, right? The contents are not too impressive, but it does contain some Septims and other loot you can sell.

Gjukar’s Monument

Treasures and Loot in the Whiterun Region of Skyrim

In this location, you can find a shield and a few other random items. Like in the above entry, it isn’t much, but every bit counts. I suggest selling these items. When you sell many items, you can raise your Speech level. With higher Speech, you can sell and buy items at better prices and your honeyed words will be able to manipulate and persuade even the meanest NPCs.

There’s a Shrine of Zenithar here and two Silver ingots. Keep the Silver Ingots in your inventory and forge jewellery with them. Sell them for profit. There are a few other random items here as well.

There’s a Shrine of another Divine being here. It was Stendarr, if I remember right. In any case, here also there are low-levelled loot.

Greenspring Hollow

Treasures and Loot in the Whiterun Region of Skyrim

There’s a chest here with levelled loot and a lot of animal hides. You can use them to craft armour or weapons or you can simply sell them. These aren’t the only loot here. There’s also a bow and a book here. Keep your eyes peeled when exploring any of the locations.

Hamvir’s Rest

This location is a bit tricky to clear, but the loot you can find here is superb. There are some skeletons around and also Draugr. After killing them, you can try to unlock the Master level chest. It’s very difficult to do so, so save the game before attempting to pick the lock.

Chillfurrow Farm

Now, this isn’t a dungeon or a random location… It’s Nazeem’s farm… You readers might say that because I hate Nazeem so much, I chose to loot his house. That’s partially true. There are a lot of goblets, plates and other items that are worth about 5 Septims each. The purpose of selling these is to gain Speech levels. In a dresser in the bedroom of this farm, you can find a One-handed Skill book too.

Halted Stream Camp

This dungeon is home to bandits. The speciality of this place is the fact that you can find a lot of mammoth tusks here. They sell for pretty good prices and one is also required for the Miscellaneous quest given by Ysolda.

Treasure Map II

Obtaining the map for this treasure requires you to go to Journeyman’s Nook. It’s in the Winterhold region. The treasure itself is very easy to find, and it’s located near the Valtheim Towers in the Whiterun region. Like other treasure maps, this map leads to good loot.
