Oblivion talk:The Collector

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

There are too many references on map using letters of map names, which is not reliable, as there are more map MODs are around and they may show the names differently, not on the same location. So I suggest to correct the reference points to a more usable "East of that..." and such. And there are offline maps too, showing the names differently... --Juharfalvi 04:40, 28 April 2006 (EDT)

Go to the Places page, and you'll find a link there to the Obliv-o-map, which is an interactive version of the in game map. It's in English, and is based on the unmodified version of the map. I don't think any other method would be feasible. Is there even a foreign language version of this site? Quillan 09:56, 28 April 2006 (EDT)

In Fanacas only a very short dive is obligatory, no water breathing needed. Besides that, just a short swim on the surface for some loot, water breathing may only help you prove there is no loot on the bottom of the flooded area. There's just no point in lots of diving there. --Vook 18:29, 25 May 2006 (EDT)

[edit] Quest Walkthrough Edit?

Should the second option (the one to sell the first statue directly to Umbacano) be described in the first section of the walkthrough titled "Ayleid Artifacts" rather then in the second section of the walkthrough titled "The Collector"? This may make it more noticeable so that more money can be made at that stage...? -Arador 16:44, 31 May 2007 (EDT)

Yeah, that probably would make sense since it's an alternative way to start the quest. If so, the relevant sentences in the second section should probably be deleted, though. If you'd like to give it a try, go for it! --Nephele^Talk 00:55, 1 June 2007 (EDT)

Alright, I went ahead and edited the section to make more sense and tried to delete as much of the repetitiveness as I could without sacrificing important parts. I mostly just kept what was there already and reordered it. I also added a few lines to make it flow better. It should be easier to use now. -Arador 03:54, 1 June 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Sardavar Leed?

In the official game guide, it says the ruin Sardavar Leed (located between Fort Homestead and Fort Alessia) is one of the locations of a statue, but I have yet to find the statue within. And seeing as the ruin itself isn't listed on this page, and the fact that the guide has been wrong before, I'm starting to have my doubts. However, I've been under the impression that there are 11 statues, and if Sardavar Leed is not counted, that means there is only 10. Can someone clarify for me? - Magra7hea

There is indeed no statue in Sardavar Leed. I definitely didn't find one there, and when writing up that page, I did a web search and lots of other people have reported not finding any there. I haven't finished this quest yet (in fact, I'm really not trying to, I've only ever collected the statue from Vilverin), but my impression is that there really are only ten statues, and that getting ten is enough to get your reward.--Nephele 15:27, 7 July 2006 (EDT)

OK, I've now completed this quest and can confirm that there are ten statues in all. Collecting one statue from each of the ruins listed on the page will complete the quest; there is no need for a non-existent eleventh statue from Sardavar Leed. --Nephele 00:07, 31 July 2006 (EDT)

[edit] Duplication

I tried to use the duplication glitch on the first statue i got after i talked to umbaccano but it didnt work. i had 62 arrows with a steel bow and i dropped 52 and equipped the 10 arrows. i held the trigger then went to the inventory and clicked 3 times on the arrows and i dropped the statue. i didnt get any statue just that one that i already had. what gives? Paradox 14:42, 26 May 2007 (EDT)

Some items cannot be duplicated. --Nephele^Talk 15:16, 26 May 2007 (EDT)

[edit] removing the "quest related" - description?

Of course every ruin is quest related, you are DOING the quest! Why not remove that unnecessary bit of "information"? --Nemini 18:45, 23 May 2007 (EDT)

The (quest related) tag is added automatically by the template used to include the place name & link in the first place. The only way to remove it would be to write out the information by hand (no templates), which would just increase the possibility for error (and make adjusting to subsequent changes more difficult). DisplacedAvenger 20:49, 23 May 2007 (EDT)

Ah allright, I didnt know that! --Nemini 14:58, 24 May 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Cheating

I used the console to get 10 statues, sold 1 to a shop keeper, wait 24 hours, but the servant didn't come to me, does that mean I have to collect from the ruins? Caboose 12:24, 13 April 2008 (EDT)

when umbacano died i stole his statues and sold them to a fence and bought em back to take off the stolen icon but when i drop it it has the stolen icon again is that a bug? ^{—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.143.152.235 (talk • contribs).}

[edit] Help Please - Lost Statue

I locked myself out of the statue room in Wenyandawik by mistake and i used the console to get back in the room but the statue was not on the pedestal. My preceding save is from two Ayleid Ruins earlier (sucks). I dont't know what happened to the statue...is their anyway to recover it? Rhapsody Moon 23:37, 26 July 2008 (EDT)

    I just learned how to add an item to my inventory using the console and solved my problem that way.  
    I think what may have happened is that the statue may have been knocked off of the pedestal.  
    The statue may have then sunk through the floor - possibly when I used the tcl console command to reinter the room.  Is that possible?  Rhapsody Moon 08:56, 27 July 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Help Please.

So I've located the 10 dungeons. And I have only 9 statues. Now I started this quest a long time ago but I do know that I sold the first one I found and I was approached by the butler. Isn't Umbaccano supposed to have bought that one? So why is there only 9 in his case? I've looked on his desk and in his room and there are only 9 statues.
