Oblivion Remastered: How to Get Glow Dust – All Locations and Methods
Need Glow Dust in Oblivion Remastered? Here’s every way to get it—where to find it, who sells it, and how to farm it from Will-O-the-Wisps.
Oblivion Remastered: How to Get Glow Dust
Oblivion Remastered is full of rare alchemical ingredients, and Glow Dust is one of the more sought-after ones—especially for certain Daedric quests and potion crafting. It’s not super common, and if you don’t know where to look, you’ll be wandering around without much luck.
This guide breaks down every way to get Glow Dust: where to loot it, who sells it, and how to farm it from enemies.
🧪 Where to Find Glow Dust (Free & Easy)
📍 Bruma Mages Guild (One-Time Pickup)
- Head to Bruma and join the Mages Guild.
- Once inside, go downstairs to the living quarters (left of the main desk).
- On one of the desks, you’ll find Glow Dust, along with other alchemy ingredients.
⚠️ This is a one-time spawn—great for a quick grab, but not a reliable source if you need more.
Other Mages Guilds don’t carry Glow Dust, so no need to check elsewhere.
💰 Where to Buy Glow Dust
You can buy Glow Dust from three vendors in the Imperial City Market District:
- Ogier Georick – The Main Ingredient
- Claudette Perrick – The Gilded Carafe
- Calindil – Mystic Emporium
You’ll need a higher Mercantile skill to unlock Glow Dust in his shop inventory.
💡 Vendors restock after a few in-game days. Sleep or wait for 72+ hours to refresh their inventory.
👻 How to Get Glow Dust as a Drop
💀 Kill Will-O-the-Wisps
Glow Dust is dropped by Will-O-the-Wisps, ghostly enemies that float and shimmer and are a pain to deal with using regular weapons.
- Immune to physical damage
- Weak to magic, silver, Daedric, or enchanted weapons
🗺️ Where to Find Will-O-the-Wisps
- Swampy Cave – Nighttime is best for spawning them
- Wilderness – Common in marshes or foggy regions after level 8
- Blood of the Daedra quest – You’re guaranteed to fight one at Azura’s Shrine
🔥 Pro tip: Use basic Destruction spells or summon weapons if you’re not carrying magic-based gear.
