Do a favor by finding a rare item. Quest Giver: Radiant Location(s): Radiant Disposition: =1 (quest giver) ID: Favor110

Radiant Options

This is a radiant quest which you can receive from any of the following people. The books have a fixed location the quest marker points to, but returning any copy will do. You must find the other items on your own. Note: Only one radiant quest of this type can be assigned at any given time. You must clear the radiant quest from your miscellaneous quests in order to be eligible to receive another of the same type.

Quick Walkthrough

All of the items can be found in multiple places in the game. For more thorough lists of locations, see the item's page.

Detailed Walkthrough

Amulet of Arkay

There is a guaranteed amulet at Wayward Pass at the Shrine of Arkay.

You can also obtain one easily by starting The Taste of Death in Markarth.

Note: Be careful when bringing the Amulet of Arkay back to Torbjorn Shatter-Shield. The quest marker may indicate that you should enter his house, the door of which may be unlocked, but if you enter you may be treated as a trespasser with no option to tell Torbjorn or his wife what your errand is. Meet him on the street during the day instead.

Black-Briar Mead

These bottles can be found in large quantities or bought at the Black-Briar Meadery, and are guaranteed in other locations as well. They may also be bought from most innkeeper merchants.

Mammoth Tusk

If you are willing to steal, you can find one in several places in Whiterun: Dragonsreach Jarl's Quarters (go upstairs and into the main room then head into the room to your right; the tusk is atop the bookcases to the right of the door), Jorrvaskr (on the table in the left room), and The Bannered Mare (located on top of a bookshelf right behind the counter; jump on the rafters from the room for rent and pluck it off the shelf).

Nearby Halted Stream Camp contains several Mammoth Tusks, if you'd prefer not to steal one.

The Mirror

Can be found in several locations. The book the quest arrow points to is in Windhelm's Palace of Kings, but it will count as stealing unless you are Thane of Eastmarch. Captain Aldis will accept a stolen copy.

Night Falls on Sentinel

A copy will spawn on a crate in Swindler's Den after accepting the quest. Copies may also be found in a bandit camp near The Guardian Stones, and in Volunruud during the quest Silenced Tongues.

Song of the Alchemists

Unfortunately, this book cannot be obtained without stealing. After activating this quest, a copy spawns in the Bards College on the main floor, to the right from the entrance on the counter (a blue book). It is not marked as stolen, but will still incur the penalties of stealing if caught.

The book can also be stolen from Anise's Cabin near Riverwood.

Notes

• The potential quest givers are identified based on membership in the Favor110QuestGiverFaction faction.
• Halted Stream Camp is the location of a bounty quest, possible location of a Dungeon Delving quest from Amren, and possible location of the Amulet of the Moon quest, making it easy to complete multiple quests at once if you choose to find your Mammoth Tusk there. It is also one of only two locations where the Transmute spell tome may be found.
• If Hearthfire is installed, then Siddgeir does not give this quest.

Bugs

• • If you complete the Stormcloaks quest Battle for Solitude, Captain Aldis will no longer be part of the city and the indication arrow for you to follow will lead to a blank floor, where Aldis previously stood.
  • This bug is fixed by version 1.0 of the Unofficial Skyrim Patch.

• Captain Aldis can be spawned again using the console command player.placeatme 00041FB8. Afterwards, you can speak with him about quests like normal.
• An alternative if you are on the PC is to type SetObjectiveCompleted Favor110 10 1 in the console to complete the quest and then to remove the Mirror from your inventory by typing player.additem 0001AFDE -1.

Notes

• Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Quest system, and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
• If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
• On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage Favor110 stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages, but it is possible to clear all stages of the quest using resetquest Favor110.
