[edit] Absorbing Souls?

* The swords seem to absorb the souls of the enemies they kill on certain occasions (possibly as long as it won't waste part of the soul) though soultrap appears to be needed.

I'm not sure what this means. I'm hoping the editor can elaborate. However, on the chance that it means what I think it means, I have noticed that killing a creature only counts towards the 12 required when the sword blow does the killing. It does not count if the magic damage from the blade is what finally kills the target. It doesn't happen often, as the damage rating of the blade tends to be significantly higher than the damage of the effect in almost all cases. Quillan^Talk 18:20, 3 April 2007 (EDT)

It doesn't trigger if a poison on the blade kills the enemy either... --89.240.189.91 18:28, 19 August 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Absorb Health???

The Superior version of Dawnfang/Duskfang in my game absorbs magicka on strike, not health. --Necaradan666

I was under the impression that Dawnfang absorbed health and Duskfang absorbed magicka (or was it vice versa?). So which one you get depends on the time of day. Is this incorrect? --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 09:42, 4 April 2007 (EDT)

Yes, the Superior Dawnfang absorbs health and the Superior Duskfang absorbs magicka. Nufy8 09:57, 4 April 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Maximum Charge

I am quite certain that Dawnfang Superior has a greater charge than Duskfang Superior. I will check my game later unless anybody else checks before me.--Divine Crusader 14:09, 4 April 2007 (EDT)

Yes, it does. It's on the page now. You probably didn't know that considering this a very old question. Oblivion nerd 22:15, 25 November 2008 (EST)

[edit] Dawnfang/Duskfang Dissapearing Act

I have a big problem on my Xbox 360 which both me and my brother have encountered. When I attacked an enemy NPC (Once a knight of Order soon after "addiction" and once a vampire in Gutted Mine) the Dawnfang/Duskfang dissapeared and was never seen again even after waiting for the next cycle of the blade. Naturally i returned to a previous save but cannot use the blade for fear of a repeat. Could anyone please help me out --Lavadragon 09:36, 27 August 2007 (EDT)

It sounds to me like the enemy disarmed you, i.e., knocked the weapon out of your hands and it fell to the ground. Or at least, that has happened me several times when fighting Knights of the Order while using Dawnfang/Duskfang. If that's the case, the sword should still be lying on the ground somewhere near where you were fighting (assuming you weren't unlucky enough to have it fall in a spot where it was able to fall through the floor). --Nephele^Talk 13:04, 27 August 2007 (EDT)

>.< i suppose that was the most obvious thing to think of. I probably couldn't see it because it was dark ie a cave. --Lavadragon 14:37, 27 August 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Duskfang will not change!

Hello. Several in-game days ago, my Duskfang sword stopped changing into Dawnfang. I reloaded an autosave and it changed, but then I went on my merry way, doing approximately 6 Mage's Guild quests. I noticed that it had stopped changing again. I am loath to have to redo all those quests (if I even have a save before it stopped changing.) I have a guess, though: While on horseback, a few days before it stopped changing, I received a second copy of Duskfang (due to a Duskfang/Dawnfang duping glitch covered in the Shivering:Glitches section; it's the first one under "Dawnfang/Duskfang on Horseback").

So, my question is this: Will dropping or storing that second unchanging copy of Duskfang restore this sword to its split personality?--Kittyboymaxj 19:37, 4 September 2007 (EDT)

Edit: Never mind! Dropping that second copy of Duskfang restored this sword to its schizoprenic glory. A tip for you all!

Ok, I had this problem, but it didn't change it (it was like 11:00 a.m.) then I waited 24 hours and, dropped the second copy and it worked, now I have both the Dawnfang and Duskfang.

[edit] Enchantment in Sword

I was wondering in the Dawnfang/Duskfang or any weapon of the sort if the Enchantment in it gets stronger as u level? Like if I get Dawnfnag/Duskfang at level 1 and it has 4 attack and 3pts frost/fire when I get to level 30 will it have 25 attack 15pts frost/fire damage? With the answer reply to this or edit it.. Or my email is jmxp10072142@gmail.com. Thanks for the help :D

Never mind I found that no it doesnt lvl with your person thank you for this article i was having the same troubles XD

Yeah, leveled items really stink when you get 'em at a low level. You're like, "Yeah, this is awesome!", but 20 levels later... wow..... this is an awful weapon. That's why I waited a LONG time to do the Shivering Isles. Oblivion nerd 22:18, 25 November 2008 (EST)

[edit] game glitch thing

whenever i equip the dawn or duskfang the game stops playing all noise exept for the current music. The only way for me to get the other sounds back is to reboot my console but i really dont want to do that cause its a waste of time. how do i fix it??

[edit] Getting Each Variation Over Time?

I assume that you would get all of the variations of the sword if you get it at lvl 1 and use until 30. I mean that if you are level 29 with the sword, and then if you level up to level 30, would you get the next variation of the blade (The lvl 30 one) or just still get the level 29 variation. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kestral (talk • contribs) on 18:16, 12 October 2008.

Well, first of all, leveling is in groups. Ex: Levels 1-4, 5-9, etc. And to answer your question, the sword does not level with you. If you get it at level 1-4, you always have the 1-4 verions of it. However, each time it changes, its condition and charge is restored. --Darkle 18:40, 12 October 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Double

I have 2 dawnfangs and i dont kno how it happend plz tell me

there is a chance that you duplicated it without knowing it. if they still change bac and forth without a problem, looks like you have 2 great swords to play with. make sure to keep in a safe place.

[edit] Does blade level affect sword level?

Like if I get Dawnfang/Duskfang at level 40 with 50 Blade Skill, would it have the same strength as a level 40 with level 100 blade? Oblivion nerd 22:20, 25 November 2008 (EST)

Like any other weapon, the sword itself would be the same, but it would do less damage because your skill is lower. If you got the sword at level 40 with 50 Blade skill, and then trained your Blade skill up to 100, it would do the same damage as it would if you were already at 100 Blade before you got the sword. The Fire/Frost damage is also the same, regardless of skill. --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 23:16, 25 November 2008 (EST)

[edit] Safe Duplication?

I was fighting my Shadow at the Grove of Reflection and the first swing he took at me with Shadowrend disarmed him so I snatched her sword. She then pulled out a Duskfang and swung that at me; again, disarmed, and I stole her sword again (crazy lucky disarms there :}). I was wondering if this second Duskfang I have is a safe dupe given that I didn't use any glitches to obtain it? It does not seem to change, however. Thanks in advance Janzo 14:14, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

It could be. I would say it's one of the safest dupes, considering you didn't actually cheat to get it. It doesn't change because your 'twin' isn't supposed to have a changing version, just a version of whatever you had at the time. You could keep it, although I would recommend using the true copy of the sword. --Oblivion nerd 21:48, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
