[edit] Problem with sigil stone & feather

I acquired 5 Transcendent Sigil Stones worth 125 points of feather and enchanted my glass armor suit (greaves, boots, helmet, cuirass, and gauntlets). For some reason, the first 2 pieces I equip give me 125 points each, the 3rd gives me about 90 points, and the last 2 give me between -10 and +10. My normal encumberance is about 540 right now and I can't get it to go above 870ish. Has anybody else had this problem or any ideas why it is happening? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.116.72.167 (talk • contribs).

There is a glitch with how feather works, which is already documented in detail on the Feather article. Basically, you need to be carrying enough equipment to need the feather enchantments, otherwise their full value will not register. If you just wait until you're carrying more equipment, then equip/unequip your armor, you'll find that the enchantment magnitudes reset at that point. --NepheleTalk 12:32, 21 December 2007 (EST)

Thanks for your help! I didnt think to read that article first.

[edit] Akatosh, Dibella, Arkay, Mara, Talos, Zenithar, Stendarr, Julianos, and ... Akatosh?????

I am trying to do the pilgrimage quest for KoN on my 360, on the Game of the Year addition, and I have found where all the wayshrines should be, but I have a major problem. The wayshrine that should be Kynareth is labled as Akatosh and when I try to activate it nothing happens because I have already activated the wayshrine of Akatosh, has anyone else had this problem and if so does anyone know how I can fix it. I tried all the locations on the wayshrine map on this site too all the shrines of Kynareth are labeled as Akatosh except for one which as labeled as Arkay, its getting kind of irritating because I have already beat the quests for Oblivion and Shivering Isles and all I have left is KoN.

I've never heard of this happening before and there's nothing in the game scripts that would cause this to happen, which leaves me to guess that the only possible explanation is that you have a corrupt game file somehow. In which case there really isn't any fix. Sorry. --NepheleTalk 02:17, 15 December 2007 (EST)

[edit] I'm a ghost... please help

I enchanted some armor with the chameleon spell, 5 pieces at 20% each, so I could steal items from the stores real easy, well I did a bunch of stealing and then I did a few of the thieves guild quests, but it got kind of boring when the enemies dont attack you so I changed my armor, but the effect stayed with me. I have gotten rid of the enchanted armor and tried various other things but im still completely invisible, does anyone know what I can do to get rid of this curse that I have brought upon myself, if so please tell me. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.133.147.27 (talk • contribs).

Do you use the duplicating glitch? If so, check your active effects. If you are not wearing the chameleon suit and it says "chameleon xx%" you may have "accidently" used the perminant effect glitch, if not then its some other glitch or bug that I don't know about. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.53.104.2 (talk • contribs).
The glitch the above user is referring to is explained in detail here. I don't think that glitch is causing your problem, as it generally only gives the player the permanent effects of a quest item. Are you using any third-party mods? --GuildKnightTalk2me 23:08, 8 December 2007 (EST)

[edit] Losing Leveled Items

I was doing Light the Dragonfires quest and I was picking up some special dremora weapons. So I was losing all of my space in my inventory then I got over encumbered. Then I dropped a few weapons and accidently dropped Mankar Camorans Robe. Then when I was done the main quest. I went to pick it up where I dropped it and it was gone. And I got really mad because I found out it was a leveled item and I am collecting leveled items, unique items, and daedric artifacts. I'm not sure what happened to the robe but I am 100% sure I dropped it right outside of the imperial palace right after talking to Ocato with Martin Septim. Then I walked outside and dropped the robe right beside the door. And I also found out that there was a leveled amulet called "Amulet of the Ansei" on the undead blade Rielus. But when I found out about the amulet I went to get it and Rielus's body was gone. Any clue on how I can get those two leveled items back? I am trying to make a collection with all the leveled, unique items, and daedric artifacts. Please help me if you can! This happened on Xbox 360.

I think you just had the unfortunate experience of an issue where the game acts differently than you would think. There is an interesting read on this page that explains why Jauffre's body dissappeared after that quest. The same has happened to your dropped equipment.
There is no way to fix it apart from using the console. That will only work if you are playing on the PC. If not, then I'm sorry but I fear you either will have to reload a savegame, or accept that the items are gone.
As for Rielus, most corpses will dissappear once the cell hasn't been visited for 72 hours. The cell will be cleaned up and new enemies and loot will be spawned. --Timenn < talk > 12:12, 12 December 2007 (EST)

[edit] Arrow of Extrication and Boots of Springheel Jak

I was doing the Ultimate Heist quest and I was doing the part where you have to shoot the Arrow of Extrication at that one statue in at the end of the Imperial Sewers to get in the guard quarters of the Imperial Palace. So I thought I would need a few more arrows to hit the statue. So I used the scroll duplication glitch to get about 100 Arrows of Extrication. So I would definantly hit the statue. But I hit on my first try and I now have 99 Arrows of Extrication in my inventory remaining as a quest item. Is there a possible way to get rid of the quest item? And about the Boots of Springheel Jak, I went through the trap door to get out of the palace and I didn't have the boots equiped. So they did not get removed and I have them stuck in my inventory remaining as a quest item also. But they are pretty useful for jumping on high areas. But is there a possible way to drop any of these items?

If you're on the PC, you can use the console command setquestobject to change them into non-quest items; the items' codes are 000148D4 and 00022DB5. Otherwise, no, you can't get rid of the items. --NepheleTalk 01:04, 17 December 2007 (EST)
Actually its on Xbox 360. So is there a possible way to change it into a non-quest item on the Xbox 360? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cloud strife (talk • contribs).
Then the answer is "no", I'm afraid. Reload from an earlier save then try the tips given here to help you hit with just one arrow. —Rpeh•T•C•E• 15:27, 18 December 2007 (EST)

[edit] Can Only Trap Petty & Lesser Souls

I'm currently level 40 and created a spell that inflicts timed fire damage + soul trap on targets. When the target dies if its soul is above the "lesser" level I receive a message that I have no soul gem capable of holding that soul even if the only soul gems in my inventory are empty grand soul gems. I've tried carrying a single empty grand soul gem, an array of empty soul gems of all sizes, and everything in between but nothing helps. Any ideas or workarounds? Thanks!

It sounds like you're killing NPCs but have only normal soul gems. To store the soul of an NPC (including things like Draemora) you need a Black Soul Gem. This page has more detail, including an explanation of the exact error you are getting. --Rpeh•T•C•E• 11:39, 13 December 2007 (EST)
Many thanks for the response but I don't believe that's the problem since soul traps for creatures (e.g., bears, mountain lions, ogres, goblins, wraiths, lichs, minotaurs, etc.) also don't work if the creature has a soul that is not either petty or lesser.
Are you sure your larger soul gems are empty? There have been no reports of this bug before and I'm sure there would have been if it was a widespread problem. --Rpeh•T•C•E• 05:18, 14 December 2007 (EST)

[edit] Stuck in Drunk and Disorderly

In Oblivion... I can't get the quest to step forward. I can talk to the guys in the inn, but the innkeeper doesn't suggest that I speak to the alchemy woman like she is supposed to. I've tried everything. I've stepped the quest forward but still no one will respond to anything anymore. Any thoughts?

I had this problem too, I dont know what I did but I just went and did other quests and came back to it and was able to do it, I dont know if it was a certain quest or action I did but if I was you I would skip it for now and come back to it later.

[edit] Power attack probabilities

In Oblivion what are the chances for disarming, knockig down and paralyzing for example with a blade? Like "there is a 25% chance to disarm the enemy with left and right powerattacks" And does your skill level affect the power attacks special effects? Thank you.

I dont know for sure the percentage but your blade skill does seem to have a little bit of an effect on it. Also there are some enemies that can not be knocked down, or at least they have a small percentage of chance.
