[edit] Reaching 'light fixture' stones

Maybe I just have a high Acrobatics, but it seems to me that it's certainly easy just to stand near to the 'light fixtures', look up and grab the stone itself. Can anyone confirm this? --Justthisguy 06:35, 4 January 2007 (EST)

Most welkynd stone light fixtures are easily accessible, but there are some elevated fixtures that can not just be grabbed while standing on the ground. The extra hints are only needed for these elevated fixtures. --Nephele 23:08, 4 January 2007 (EST)

[edit] Paintbrush?

I'm aware of the bug because of long hours logged here, but is it really worth mentioning it as a method of getting light fixture stones? And if so, maybe a link to the bug is in order. Somercy 09:44, 1 October 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Respawn?

Do Welkynd Stones respond after the respond period, or are the ones that are in the game world the only ones to be had? 66.188.208.146 02:31, 15 July 2007 (EDT)

Welkynd stones never respawn. So the ones listed on this page are the only ones that will be found. --Nephele^Talk 02:43, 15 July 2007 (EDT)

Thank you. 66.188.208.146 23:04, 15 July 2007 (EDT)

I had the same question and came here to ask someone, so perhaps that should be noted in the wiki article as it is for Nirnroots and Varla Stones. ^{—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Alaston (talk • contribs).}

Done, although you can add comments like that yourself. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 05:59, 15 February 2008 (EST)

[edit] Knock them down.

Just found a few "elevated" stones and figured since I'm going thru marksman, "shoot 'em" and sure enough they drop within reach. (arrows bounce right back at ya.)

[edit] light effects

Does the welkynd stone produce any light at all to the surrondings? --Umbacano 8:20 , 1 April 2008 (EST)

I actually have a gripe about this very issue, I was about to make a post but saw yours. In the ruins, the stones are often used as light fixtures (it is written that the Ayleids thought fire was a primitive form of light so they used magic enchanted stones. Much of the magic has faded over time, hence the darkness of the ruins).

Anyhow, these stones appear to provide light for a small area around them, as a greenish glow can be seen on the walls and floors around where they are mounted. However, even after removing them, the light remains, which unfortunately kills a bit of the realism, seeing as how the light is there with no "light source" remaining. I prefer to leave the stones intact for the most part. I rarely need them now that the huge battles are done. ^{—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.134.75.234 (talk • contribs).}

[edit] How to use them?

Some explanation should be given here as to how you can use a Welkynd stone. Despite the claims both in-game and in this article that they can recharge your Magicka, I've yet to figure out how you would do that. When I highlight them in my inventory, there is no Activate (X button on the PS3) option. I must be lugging around a couple dozen of these (having just cleaned out Miscarcand), and can't find a thing to do with them. 67.174.121.228 14:50, 15 April 2008 (EDT)

You should be able to equip them just like a weapon. --HMSVictory^Talk 14:54, 15 April 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Aurorans

Shouldn't this page say that people can get Welkynd Stones from them?99.237.166.44 17:39, 18 June 2008 (EDT)

Yeah, good idea. Now added. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 06:02, 19 June 2008 (EDT)
