Morrowind experiences vol. 2

[Chowlett]

Shame their's so little charge, though.

Anyway, I killed another Golden Saint getting my Wizard's staff - so I now posses the Fish Ring. Exquisite, with Constant 9pt Swift Swim and Water Breathing.

Next up, from the next GS, will probably be some form of constant healing ring.

Incidentally, it's so much fun to just levitate up reallyhigh, then cast slowfall (I have it on an amulet), and then take the ring off... Particularly if you're above a population centre.

I almost prefer that there's not much charge on Goldbrand (and that there's a subsequently low cost per casting, something like 2 pts out of 50), because then I hardly ever need to manually recharge it--its automatic recharge usually does the trick. Even when I'm in a long battle and run out of charge, I can just use a Lesser or Standard soul gem to fully recharge it, rather than waste a Greater or Grand soul gem for the purpose. It makes the sword far more useful than it would be if the max charge were 500 with a cost of 20 per use, or a max of 5000 with a cost of 200 per use.

Incidentally, what guilds are you in? There's one guild in particular in which you can earn an amulet that, among its powers, provides constant healing.

[Chowlett]

Mages, Fighters, Temple, Cult, Legion, Redoran. Also, obviously, Blades and Ashlanders.

[loinburger]

So, all of them except Thieves and Morag Tong, I guess. (And the two houses you're not allowed to join.) Well, it'll probably take you awhile to earn the constant healing amulet anyway, so it is a good idea to go ahead and make one sometime. (Might want to make it an exquisite amulet instead of a ring, though, so that you can just replace your crappy healing amulet with the artifact healing amulet when the time comes.)

[Chowlett]

I'm running out of quests though, getting really quite high up. Ah well, must be an end one anyway, for CE healing...

Oh, and I found that the Sadrith Mora Mage's Guild supply chest has Std Restore Magika potions in them.

I have almost finished all the cult quests

I really think they are the easiest (And they have a large bonus for completeing them also)

bump - can't have this sliding off the page...

Seen the new official plugin?

[ravagon]

Firemoth? It looks to be the best yet - of the official plugins anyway.
There seems to be a conflict though with one of the other official plugins. Hope nobody's wearing adamantium armour.


Btw, did the second patch (I'm still using the first) stop people falling into the river through Balmora?
At my last count there were 5 people who've been swimming for about 2 weeks now.
Training for the Vardenfell olympics, perhaps?

[loinburger]

New plugin? Hmm, good times, I'll have to check it out.

The second patch is supposed to resolve conflicts that come up when you're using two different plugins. I haven't tried using two plugins at once yet, though, so I dunno if it fixes the problem.

Somebody ought to add some stairs out of the water there in Balmora, so those poor fellows can stop swimming...

[Chowlett]

Ok, checking Faq's (mainly about the Disappearence of the Dwarves quest - but I'm on that one now, doing quite well), it would appear that Trebonius's second and final quest provides his amulet as reward, which is Constant Effect, healing, absorption, protect from melee and one other which I forget. Not bad, really, except that the FAQ states you have to have finished the main quest first...

The alternative is to just kill him. Once you finish the mage quests from Ald'Ruhn (and have finished enough of the other quests) then you'll have a license to kill.

[Chowlett]

true, or at least - so I read.

[Scouse Gits]

License to kill? Sounds fun - tell me more...

Once you complete enough quests you'll become the Archmage at the Mage's Guild, and you'll replace Trebonius. There are two ways to do this: the quest-giver in Ald'Ruhn (I forget her name) will tell you to talk to Trebonius about becoming Archmage, and when you talk to Trebonius he'll challenge you to a duel to the death in the Arena. Meet him in the Arena, kill him (it's all above board), and take his stuff. Alternatively, the quest-giver in Sadrith Mora (Skink in Tree Shade) will give you a letter that you're supposed to deliver to Trebonius--the letter dismisses Trebonius from his position and promotes you, denying you the chance to kill him in the Arena (and take his stuff).
