Bug

Bug? Cannot recharge keening. Skyrim won't show the option to do so. Attacking with Keening will show that it has no charges. 91.42.177.163 00:05, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

I can confirm this on my CE Skyrim for PS3 50.101.137.66 03:29, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

I can offer another PS3 CE confirmation. I thought this was intentional, though. You can wield it without Wraithguard, so I thought it not having a charge was a little joke in that direction. 50.41.184.228 09:50, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

There are other weapons that are "chargeless", such as Valdr's Lucky Dagger - it seems to be related to an effect that is not an enchantment, or at least can't be disenchanted. 124.170.15.129 23:50, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

Remove Quest Item Flag?

Several quest lines are bugged insofar that the item you're asked to retrieve isn't removed from the player's inventory. I know you can use the console to player.removeitem, but I'm weird that way that I want the quest giver to have the item. Is there a way to just remove the flag, so I can reverse-pickpocket the item over to them? (Or something like this pseudo-code, player.giveitem ID NPC or NPC.giveitem ID)? --84.63.187.133 23:00, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

You can clear the quest item flag by doing a player.removeitem ID 1, followed by a player.additem ID 1. This removes the quest-specific instance of the item, and replaces it with a "generic" version that is not tied to the quest. Note however that doing this to an item that is part of an active quest will almost certainly make it impossible to complete the quest. But if it's a quest you never plan on finishing, no harm in it I suppose. Phaid 04:35, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Ancient Helmet of the Unburning

Please could someone add that the location of this is in a side passage/door near the end of labyrinthian thanks 149.254.234.245 07:56, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Leather Hood

What happened too it? I would just like to know the item code for it, so I can add it through console. — Unsigned comment by 50.135.176.188 (talk) at 05:26 on 8 December 2011

Buyable... If it isnt just google item codes lol :p i cant find it in my list but u knwo its a long list... — Unsigned comment by 173.3.24.171 (talk) at 10:34 on 2 January 2012

Prisoner's Cuffs

Does anyone know the location of these or if they're available without console commands. — Unsigned comment by 209.169.113.2 (talk) at 18:03 on 12 December 2011

Valdr's Lucky Dagger

According to the criteria given ("items needed to complete a specific quest"), Valdr's Lucky Dagger isn't a Quest Weapon but a reward. It's also got a powerful quasi-magical effect which requires no charges, so I'm not entirely sure what category it SHOULD be... but it's not a quest weapon to the best of my knowledge. 124.170.15.129 06:52, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

OK, now it's been removed, but the search term still redirects here (and I can't find where it's been moved TOO)... 124.170.15.129 18:50, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Found it. Whoever took it off this page put it on Skyrim:Unique_Items. Updated the redirect accordingly. 24.251.68.151 06:50, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Fine-Cut Void Salts

Fine-Cut Void Salts are in some sense quest items, but can be dropped normally. I added them to Void Salts, but maybe they should be added here and the redirect Fine-Cut Void Salts changed to point here. --Alfwyn 14:55, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Lisbet's Dibella Statue

Can someone with the PC version and the makeshift CK-program add in the correct Dibella Statue or Statue of Dibella for Skyrim:Lisbet's Missing Shipment. Other sites indicate the code is possibly: 0008F997 --Bwross 07:51, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

In a word: no... it doesn't seem to HAVE one. Instead, it looks like it's a "normal" statue at heart, but is renamed when it appears (like a crafted item), and then checked by its now-unique name instead of its id. Probably because the number of quest-related "Dibella Statue"s got so out of hand, but whatever the reason it's pretty funky. I'm calling it "Lisbet's" on the page, because that's what it's called in the game, but there's obviously some weird script-fu going on. Aliana 02:03, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

(←) What's the console command for removing the statue? If you pick it up after killing her (at the end of A Taste For Death) again, it re-quests itself and cannot be removed from inventory...— Unsigned comment by 67.248.50.15 (talk) at 04:02 on 24 January 2012

If it's being renamed from some other base statue (the fresh meat you can get from Lod acts the same way), try player.showinventory, then you'll see the base item and can use player.removeitem <ID> 1. You may need to dump most of your inventory in a container so you can see what you're looking for, unless there's a way to scroll or expand the console that I'm not aware of. Hope that works - I was able to remove the fresh meat that way (it shows up as a Mammoth Snout), but can't test that specific item right now. -Vardis 04:47, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Page Up/Down Aliana 05:48, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Confirming Lisbet's Dibella Statue id is 0008F997. After reading the above tip, I emptied my entire inventory into an empty chest (in my owned house); then used console command player.showinventory. This gave the id for Lisbet's Dibella Statue. I then used console command "player.removeitem 0008F997 1", which removed it from my inventory. FYI - I wanted to put it on a table for decor, so I used player.additem to get a "generic" Dibella Statue and placed on my table. How pretty she looks! Maeve 19:24, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Ironhand Gauntlets

This isn't a quest item. Ironhand Gauntlets are unique enchanted gauntlets that can be found on Havjaar Iron-Hand at White River Watch.174.0.116.189 09:38, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

unique items

I'm the one you were looking for above who moved valdr's lucky dagger, and there's plenty more i should've moved. So many of these blur the distinction made between unique and quest items. Things like the blade of sacrifice, the blade of woe, aegisbane, nettlebane, etc. are found or given during quests, yea, but are able to be kept afterwards, and would more be considered unique rewards. it seems that only things like darvin's bow, alessandra's dagger, grimsever, etc. should be quest items. someone hires you to find them, you turn them in, that's it. better yet, why not just combine them ALL into one "unique weapons" article, and provide better information for each of them? — Unsigned comment by 24.18.82.8 (talk) at 08:31 on January 4, 2012

First off, thanks for making a start on getting this pig of a page sorted out. The good news is, there's a really really simple set of rules for "Is this a Quest Item or not?": can you drop it when you first pick it up? Yes? Not a Quest Item. (Blade of Sacrifice fails this test). And really, that's about it. Yes, they're also all weightless, but that means comparing Before and After carry weight, and the inventory shows you what they "really" weigh, so it's confusing and time-wasting at best. Someone else can explain better why there isn't just one "Unique Stuff" page, but since it would be as large and clunky as this one is, that seems like a good reason not to have it; and Quest Items aren't "just" Unique, they're "why do I have this stupid thing in my inventory that I've had for 10 levels and can't get rid of". :P Aliana 09:05, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

thanks for clearing that up, that does make sense. aegisbane and angi's bow fail these tests (droppable immediately), along with several others i'm sure, but oh well. there are two ES wikis out there. They each have their strengths (this one's way better on the significance of locations, like looking up if a place you discovered should be left alone for a later quest), but i think i'll just be using the other one for unique weapons, they managed to not make it clunky or confusing at all haha: http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Unique_Weapon_(Skyrim) — Unsigned comment by 24.18.82.8 (talk) at 08:31 on January 4, 2012

We hope to change that. For example, why are the dragon claws here? Are they ever a quest item? I'll try and list specific things that need to be done (both by myself and others):

• Remove all items that are quest rewards (such as Muiri's Ring)
• Remove all items that are rare or unique but are not specifically quest-related (such as Vaermina Robes, Movarth's Boots, Firiniel's End, etc.)
• Remove all items that fail the basic "can I drop it when I get it" test (such as Nettlebane)

These items should be moved to Unique Items or Artifacts, depending on whether or not they qualify for Artifact status. Also,

• Remove the Dragon Claws. They deserve their own page, complete with the list of what symbols are on the bottom.

Jak Atackka 09:45, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

(←) Yes. When you pick one up, you can't drop it until you've used it to open it's corresponding door, at which point they become droppable (except for the Golden Claw which is the object of it's own quest and must be delivered to an NPC before the quest tag comes off)174.0.116.189 01:14, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Blade of Sacrifice

Searching for "Blade of Sacrifice" took me here. It should have taken me to: Unique Items. I don't know how to fix the redirect.— Unsigned comment by 122.18.255.73 (talk)

Fixed. --Gaebrial 13:23, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

enchanted ring

enchanted ring redirects here but it is listed on Unique Items, it seems to me that it should be listed on quest items though, as (from memory) there is 3 of them and they are all taken from you during the quest if you opt to find them. I fixed most the redirects (Rohndogg1) did some too. However I skipped the Party boots and clothes and the Saarthal amulet, because like with the enchanted rings, they are needed for a quest at one point. (Eddie The Head 08:39, 7 January 2012 (UTC))

I'm working on fixing all of these redirects, see my post below. — Unsigned comment by Rohndogg1 (talk • contribs) at 08:44 on 7 January 2012

You miss my point, its not the redirect with this, its what page it should be on (Eddie The Head 09:10, 7 January 2012 (UTC))

The enchanted rings are not quest items. you can drop them and sell them any time you want and you can continue the quest without picking them up or turning them in as long as you get the amulet.Fbasaint80 19:59, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Improper Redirects

There are many redirects to items that I suspect used to be here that aren't any longer. These include Firiniel's End and Ancient Helm of the Unburned. (I've corrected both of these already) I will be correcting any redirects that do not point to the correct location as I find them, but if anybody else notices something before I do, or already knows of any, feel free to correct them yourself, or post it here and I (or possibly someone else) will fix it.

I suppose this is mostly a heads up, but it gives us a place to list those for people who don't know how to, or just don't want to fix the redirects to note the mistakes. -Rohndogg1 08:41, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

I'm actually going through them now and fixing any redirects that aren't correct (Eddie The Head 08:43, 7 January 2012 (UTC))

Scimitar redirects here, but there is not listing for it. In fact, I could not find a listing for scimitar anywhere. — Unsigned comment by 97.126.62.182 (talk) at 06:42 on 9 January 2012

Sorry about that. I moved a bunch of items over the Unique Items and forgot to fix the redirects. They all seem to be fixed now. ?• JA^Talk 06:55, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

The Longhammer

Pretty sure it doesn't belong here. It's a unique warhammer, but it's not involved with any quest, as far as I can tell. Minor Edits 01:44, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

It probably doesn't. I moved as many items that I knew were unique items to Skyrim:Unique Items, however I know I didn't get them all. I went ahead and moved it. Point out any other weapons that are not quest items. ?• JA^Talk 06:29, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Scimitar?

Why does searching for a generic scimitar send me here?NickTyrong 07:18, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Was gonna ask the same, but I don't know where it should go. Unique Items probably, but then I don't have all the information for it. Edit: Actually I'm pretty sure it should go in Specialty Gear in the "Other" section. Rookwood 03:30, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

It's on that page and redirects there now. Rookwood 05:09, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Quest books

The article mentions that weapon racks can be used as a work-around for looting quest item weapons before receiving the related quest by placing the weapon and then removing it. I was just wondering if the same can be done with bookshelves for books that are found before being given a quest to fetch them. 75.94.172.142 04:23, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

No idea. Try it out and report your results. ?• JA^Talk 06:54, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll get right on that. >_< 75.94.172.142 08:45, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

The book "Chimarvamidium" gives the "quest item cannot be removed from inventory" when I try to store on bookshelf. I should note that at one time I had 2 "Chimarvamidium" books and able to store 1 of them. So far that is the only quest book that gives me that problem. Other quest books, such as "Mirror", I've been able to store on bookshelf or chests until given the quest. 74.214.63.191 18:10, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Emerald Dragon Claw: Bugged?

It seems like no matter which shelf I put the Emerald Dragon Claw on, it never stays there. All the other claws seem to stay put, but this one often glitches through the shelf onto the shelf below it, or falls on the floor. Also, it seems to be smaller than the other dragon claws. — Unsigned comment by 75.34.55.137 (talk) at 23:30 on 17 January 2012

Wheres the ID FOR Wolf armor?

I don't see any companions wolf armor Id's or any information on it at all -24.63.171.231 01:33, 18 January 2012 (UTC)michael

http://uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Wolf_Armor#Wolf_Armor -— Unsigned comment by 75.34.55.137 (talk) at 17:00 on 19 January 2012

That link directs you to where you can find it, but I thought I would explain that the reason the wolf armor isn't listed on this article because it's not actually a quest item. It's armor available through the Companions faction, but not directly related to any quests-- that's why it's in the 'Specialty Gear' section. Alphabetface 18:03, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Bad Redirect

"Charmed Necklace" redirects here...it's listed on the "Unique Items" page. Can someone fix the redirect? 216.75.188.49 01:48, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

The redirect actually has been fixed, you're just not getting it. This is a known issue for anonymous users (see Caching for anons), and I've reported your issue there. I'm not sure what's causing the problem, but if you create an account for yourself, it'll stop happening. – Robin Hood↝talk 04:46, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Items that need to be confirmed

This article became a dumping grounds for any and every item that has a unique name. In the process of cleaning up this article, we ran into a bunch of items that with our personal experience we could not confirm actually are quest items. If you have any evidence that proves or disproves that any of these items are or aren't quest items, please post it here.

These are the weapons that need to be confirmed:

• Balgruuf's Greatsword √
• Ghorbash's Ancestral Axe
• Harrald's Steel Sword +
• Herebane's Courage
• Illusory War Axe
• Karliah's Bow x
• Phantom Sword
• Rocksplinter x
• The Woodsman's Friend

These are the apparel that need to be confirmed:

• Executioner's Hood x
• Family Shield
• Focusing Gloves
• Grosta's Necklace
• Helm of Yngol x
• Herebane's Fortress
• Madesi's Silver Ring √
• Manakin
• Prisoner's Cuffs x
• Summerset Shadows Gear x
• Torturer's Hood x
• Tsun's Gear x
• Ulfric's Gag x

Remember that just because it has to do with a quest does not mean it's an actual quest item. It is an actual quest item if you cannot drop it immediately after getting it. Dragon Claws are an exception. ?• JA^Talk 06:35, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

I can confirm Balgruuf's greatsword -- see Greatsword for a Great Man. Karliah's bow seems to be a non playable item because at the end of a thieves guild quest she gives you "her bow" but it's just called Nightingale Bow and its a reward, not a quest item. Executioners hood and tortueres hoods would be non playable items and not quest items as well, or at least not found in-game. Prisoners cuffs would be what you and the other prisoners are wearing at the beggining of the game -- I would say they aren't playable or a quest item either though because you can see some Stormcloak prisoners wearing them but cant take them. Tsun's gear would be non playable and not a quest item. Ulfric is wearing "Ulfric's Gag" at the begining of the game, I would again say its non playable and not a quest item. I'm adding the quests to the two i confirmed. (Eddie The Head 07:03, 21 January 2012 (UTC))

Balgruuf's Greatsword and Karliah's M16 are already done.

• Definitely NOT: Rocksplinter, Helm of Yngol, Prisoner's Cuffs (console-only), all of Tsun's gear (console-only), all Summerset Shadows Gear, Ulfric's Gag (console-only).
• Definitely ARE: Madesi's Silver Ring

I'd do them myself but tables hate me. Aliana 20:27, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Why Harrald's Steel Sword(see quest Bring It!) doesn't count as a quest item? --FelixH 16:07, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Aliana: No problem. Besides, this page in particular uses a template (hehe), so I have no problem changing them myself.

FelixH: Thanks for the tip! Added it, but I don't have any data on it besides it being a One-handed sword. ?• JA^Talk 19:28, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Jagged Crown

After seeing the reversion back to the note indicating that it can be worn with a helmet, I just tested it, and it cannot be worn with another helmet. I'm not sure why 69.14.206.123 was reverted because of lack of evidence, since I would first assume good faith absent any personal knowledge contradicting what they are posting.

Anyway, I removed the entire note, since it appears to act like other helmets now, and we don't have such a note for all helmets. If it used to be bugged and allowed you to wear it with a helmet, but isn't now, I don't believe there's benefit mentioning that here. If that's not the policy, my apologies.

If it's still occasionally buggy, then perhaps the note should indicate that instead of saying that it's always one way or the other. Vardis 07:07, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

It can be worn with a Dragon Priest Mask, not a helmet. (Eddie The Head 07:10, 21 January 2012 (UTC))

Ok, thanks for the info. On a whim, I tested some other headgear categories, and it can also be worn with a circlet. But the circlet and the mask can't be worn together, nor can a normal helmet with any of them. I'll update the note again. Vardis 07:19, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

If you wear it with a dragon priest mask and then equip a regular helmet while both are equiped, you will have the crown and the new helmet equiped at the same time. IMO looks cool equiped with daedric helmet. 69.251.52.20 15:35, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Ruby Dragon Claw

I've noticed this with other dragon claws , but the Ruby one is stuck in my inventory and refuses all attempts of being removed. I have cleared Dead Man's Respite, and I just finished the related Bard's quest, but still no luck. This also happened with the Glass Claw which at some point lost its quest item status and I was able to get rid of it. I didn't actually notice until I sold it, then bought it back and it worked fine after that. However the Ruby claw isn't showing up for sale...

Will I be running around with a half pound decorative dead weight in my inventory for the rest of my game?Chronic 03:46, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

I have no idea why the claw is stuck in your inventory in the first place. Although they are listed on this page, not all of the dragon claws are true quest items (meaning that you can drop them and they have weight). I'm pretty sure that when I did this quest, it was not a quest item. I'm definitely sure that the Glass Claw wasn't a quest item at any point because I did the quest related to it last night. ?• JA^Talk 19:33, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

This might just be a problem plaguing my version. I'm unpatched currently, however after completing all of the Bard college's respective quests I could then remove the claw from my inventory.Chronic 07:59, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

(←) The "Tending the Flames" Bard quest needed both claws, the one marked "quest item" (Glass Claw, if memory serves) in inventory and the one found during quest(Ruby Claw), to open both doors for access to King Olaf battle. It has been a bit since I completed the quest and my memory may be a bit off; however, I do recall thinking, "That's why I couldn't store it, I needed it again for this door" - and sure enough I could store or sell as soon as quest was done. Please, could this be confirmed? 74.214.63.191 18:28, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Rjorn's Drum is not identical to drum

i have done a search using the command console feature "help" for Rjorns drum and the game itself list the item as 000DD640. — Unsigned comment by 68.116.80.192 (talk) on 19 February 2012

The record that help is listing is a MESG record, not an item record. That MESG record exists as a way that the game uses to rename a standard Drum into Rjorn's Drum, but is of no use to a player playing the game.

Try for yourself in the console by typing player.additem dd640 1 or player.placeatme dd640. They will both fail, because the code you're providing is not an item code. Alternatively, if you have Rjorn's Drum in your inventory, player.removeitem dd640 1 will have no effect. player.removeitem daba9 1 will remove the drum. --Nephele^Talk 21:37, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Coral Dragon Claw Duplicate?

I previously entered Yngol's Barrow and completed it, and I found a Coral Dragon Claw within, I later went to Winterhold and someone sold me a Coral Dragon Claw... bug? Bushwhacker 03:26, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Nope, there are two different ways of obtaining the claw (or rather, two copies of the same claw). You happened to get both. ?• JA^Talk 04:47, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Indeed, since it's a specialized type of key for an ancient tomb I would be under the impression there would only be one. Then I would assume the ability to get two is a bug since there's not really any reason or logical explanation for it. Bushwhacker 06:33, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

See Unfinished Quests, Birna was originally intended to sell a burial urn that you would of put in Yngol Barrow, they changed their minds though and replaced the urn with the claw. (Eddie The Head 08:07, 28 February 2012 (UTC))

Ahh, that explains that... not sure why they did that though, since you can find the claw in the tomb anyway. Thanks. Bushwhacker 01:20, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Disenchanting quest items

Should this section contain a note that quest items cannot be disenchanted? — Unsigned comment by 174.22.17.136 (talk) at 07:28 on 28 February 2012

Well, this doesn´t seem to be true in general. See for example Ring of Pure Mixtures or The Forgemaster's Fingers. --Alfwyn 13:20, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Maybe I should clarify. I was unable to disenchant the Ring of Pure Mixtures until after I completed it's quest. I was then able to pickpocket it from Frida and disenchant it. I haven't tested this on other quest items, but it seems likely. — Unsigned comment by 216.10.193.24 (talk) at 01:17 on 29 February 2012
