So just explored a lot of Solstheim, and of course I've encountered several tombs, but in the tombs there are these Ristaag's (think that's the name) "Ice coffins", but no matter how long I've played through the bloodmoon quest there doesn't seem to be any way to open them!!

Now to the question: Does anyone know how these tombs may be opened, if they can... When i click them they say like "You don't have the right tools to open this", so I figured i need some tools, but which tools??

I have come across this as well, and i THINK, the answer lies in one the quests for the East Empire Company. When you are asked to go find some pick axes for the colony you may want to hold a few back (or not sell them at all). These can then be used to go crazy on said tombs.

Not quite right. It's indeed a EEC quest, however later one and does nothing with those pickaxes from ship. You're goinig to obtain the ancient pixaxe from Nord outcasts, they also are going to make stalhrim items (armor and weapon, next best to Daedric, IMHO) from stalhrim pieces you can get from the tombs (limited number - only one per coffin). In difference with snow wolf/bear armor the stalhrim armor require only one piece per item, is it a cuirass, a helm or a plaudron.

yeah found out.... Damn that Stahlrim armor is nice ..
