(Deathroot is very likely bugged and will not drop seeds. Crystal Grace does not have seeds. Also keep in mind that you can quick-save and load prior to picking up a resource. This is especially useful when attempting to find rare seeds or attempting to pick up massive amount of herbs at once with the Optimal Cutting (Secrets) Perk.)

(Thanks to Unknown_Warrior for much of this information.)

That's what I did with a few ME threads.

Okay, finally got my butt in gear and finished updating all of these.

Yes, that glitch got fixed in one of the later patches. Now both pieces are located in the veilfire cave. The other one that got fixed is now found in the wolf cave.
