    This achievement is missable .

    Requirements for this achievement :
    -Travel to Solstheim
    -Do the quest A New Source of Stalhrim
    -Have Ebony Smithing perk unlocked in the Smithing perk tree

    Below a more detail guide

    For this achievement you will need to travel to Solstheim ,stalhrim is a rare crafting material found in several locations all over Solstheim but can only be mined with an Ancient Nordic Pickaxe.

    If you wish to get the Ancient Nordic Pickaxe you will need to talk to the blacksmith Glover Mallory in Raven Rock (the 1st place you land when you arrive in Solstheim), he will give a quest to retrieve his Ancient Nordic Pickaxe from Crescius Caerellius, after having it stolen from him, and also give it as a reward for the quest.(you do not necessarily need the pickaxe for the achievement as you will be able to buy from Baldor later on the Stalhrim so you can skip this if you wish)

    Now continue with your main quest here and while you will be completing the quest The fate of the Skaal certain people who are working there must not die from the Lurker attack so do a save before you use your shout to free them.Deor Woodcutter ,Fanari Strong-Voice and Baldor Iron-Shaper must not die else the quest A New Source of Stalhrim cannot be started.

    Now to get the ability to craft stalhrim you will need to continue doing the main quest here, deliver the quest The fate of the Skaal and pick up The path of knowledge quest . Fast travel to another area and travel back to the Skaal Village to prom a conversation of 2 people talking about someone is missing,let the conversation finish, if you interrupt their conversation by talking to either one of them, it will stop their conversation and they will not speak again, thus making it impossible to get the quest **On comments people confirm that if you don't witness the two villagers arguing you can just talk to Deor the Woodcutter to begin the quest** ,after they finish talking the talk to them and you will find out that the town's blacksmith, Baldor Iron-Shaper is missing, thus starting the quest A New Source of Stalhrim. (If you do not get the conversation of the 2 people talking then go and talk to Fanari Strong she will give you a task to kill a Bandit, do this task and deliver it, then fast travel to somewhere else and back again to the Skaal village)

    Baldor gets abducted by Thalmor who is trying to learn how to shape stalhrim. Once Baldor is rescued from the Abandoned Lodge and brought back to the Skaal Village, the stalhrim source map can be given to him and in return, he will teach you how to smith stalhrim weapons and armor.

    Now Baldor Iron-Shaper can now sometimes sell stalhrim so you can just buy from him.

    For the ability to craft using Stalhrim you will need to have Ebony Smithing perk unlocked in the Smithing perk tree, that is 80 skill points in Smithing.

    You will be able to craft a Stalhrim Dagger for 1 Stalhrim and 1 Leather Strips to get
    your achievement with the least materials.

    HolyHalfDeadlol, saying they cannot die makes me think they are un-killable, not that you must not let them die.

    ShreddingI love you @Khonen for saving hours of my time. I can confirm that if you don't witness the two villagers arguing you can just talk to Deor the Woodcutter to begin the quest.

    BIue CamI used the smith in riften and paid him to boost my smithing to 75 and then just made iron daggers until smithing level 80

    RainleafOk, I have updated the guide to show that if you don't witness the two villagers arguing you can just talk to Deor the Woodcutter to begin the quest rock.

    BY HUGO zxI'm honestly disappointed with this shit in this game. I just did everything necessary for the trophy and the trophy just doesn't come I tried it over and over and the trophy doesn't come 😞

    Moo Moo DairyI can't believe that I'm gonna get 74/75 achievements all because this one random dude died without me even knowing about it.

    Really disappointing that they made this the only way to craft these items

    NamelessxDreadWhat the hell were they thinking when they made this quest? Why does this it require a random microscopic window of opportunity where you have to be at a certain place, at a certain time, with so many people alive? Like they couldn't have made it part of some main quest or have the the quest automatically initiate so you could at least acknowledge it? I'm forced to reboot an old save and just do the entire Solstheim questline again.

    liquidmottdidn't have any issue keeping these people alive as I didn't even know they had to be alive to do it, nobody died from the lurker attacks I just targeted the lurker's immediately

    DakotaThriceEven if you do want to mine your own Stalhrim you still don't necessarily need to do the quest for Glover as you can find Ancient Nordic Pickaxe's in chests. I find one in the chest at Saering's Watch when I went to learn Bend Will which was before I could even get access to Glover. That said as it's guaranteed the quest is the way most will get one seeing as that's guaranteed.

    Apostle92627Got the quest! Too get my smithing to level 80, I worked on my land until about level 52, then straight up iron daggers with some jewelry thrown in there.

    Edit: Got the achievement. It's the second time I got it. The first time I got it was with console commands (Windows), so it's nice to be able to get it legit!
