How do you poison them? Do you have to find someone to poison them for you, or do you do it yourself? Where do you get poison from? Does the weapon stay poisoned forever after that? Gah...questions..😖

Make a potion with any kind of negative effect and you will be given the option of poisoning a weapon, instead of drinking it.

Hey guys.. i read somewhere .. all equipment in those cases locked up are useless... they are display only equipment. So I don't think you should waste your picks trying to get them out... you may be very disappointed. I would try one of the easier ones and see what the equipment stats look like before I ran around trying to free all of them.

you know I was thinking of that... but the thought also ran by that maybe you cant really 'use' the item until you're the proper level for it...

the problem is you cant see that particular items stats through the glass case.. it just shows up as display case

'display only' type items do make alot of sense.. I just didnt think bethesda would do that o_o

but yeah pick an easy one as recommended above and see how that flies

('what appears to be' means I'm not so sure , and I'm just going by looks)

Fighters Guild Leyawiin - First Floor - what appears to be an Ebony Hammer in a display case [Lock Level: Very Hard]

2nd Floor - East wing - Some steel armor laying on a table in a room with door unlocked

3rd Floor - west wing - a glass axe [display case lock : hard] , what appears to be an ebony claymore [display case lock : hard] .. some silver weapons are also up for grabs on the rack near the wall

------------------------------------

Fighters Guild Bravil - First floor - Glass armor [display case lock : very hard]

----------

Fighters Guild Cheydinhaal - 2nd Floor - what appears to be ebon gauntlets, ebon dagger and some gems [display case lock : hard]

These should suffice for now.. since I'm sure there are some thieves out there that like to discover stuff o_O

edit : bah.. 1 for the road.. Fighters Guild Chorrol - 1st floor.. apears to be dwemerish by look.. but going by the elvish design in this game I'd lean towards that.. so Elvish Axe [display case lock : very hard]

SWEET, thanks a lot man

you can unlock them at any level. im lvl 51 right now and i unlock them with only breaking about 4 lockpicks average.

same as above, 4 lockpicks average, and i have 80 something...i'll go from whatever looks best to me 😛

It would be nice if you could purchase mannequins or something to put your armor / weapons on, that you've collected in your travels

well i just looked at leyawiin. all the weapons in the display cases are just replicas, they do 0 damage and sell for 0, so it was absolutely pointless, lol. now to check for the other 2 towns...

bravil armor is glass, not replica. but the defense of all those are just 1

the ones in cheydinhaal are mixed. the dagger is a deplica, the gauntlets are 1 armor, and the gems...im selling them w00t!

so the fact that it has 1 armor value means that you're not the appropriate level to make use of the armor yet? or could it be another form of replica?

Never thought of it. maybe it means not appropriate level, not sure. I'll have to look at it again sometime, lol.

Do you have a guide on the game? I don't know what to do on the quest "Lost Histories". I talked to the guy in the jail and he said something about a "pale lady" and that's all i have so far. the quest says thats the only clue i have and i should follow it. but where am i supposed to go??

I checked my book and didnt see anything about it.. is it a faction quest?.. main quest?.. or a misc. quest? heh

it's a theives guild quest 😛

BTW...is there anyway i can choose where to set chairs and crap once i buy furniture for my house?

I'm guessing the house is already furnished after you purchase it.. at least that would be the easy approach

yeah, just they kind of put the stuff all together. i was hoping for a book case in the bedroom and one in the living room. and its a living hell trying to get the books on the shelf without messing it up.

I think someone is working on a slave mod.. well.. slave / housekeeper that walks around the house putting the stuff you've thrown onto the ground in its appropriate place

i have the xbox360 version 😬

I see 🙁

where does one purchase lockpicks?.. goblins used to have them but now they're becoming tightwads

Go to a fencer if you're in the thieves guild, I use the one in Bruma, you get as many lockpicks as you want.

Just orderred the game along with 24: The Game for PS2.

Yeah, Bruma has....I think his name is Orgon or something, but you can purchase up to 100 in there. I haggle him and buy them for 5 each, so i get 500 gold worth 😄

How the hell do you get rid of vampirism? 😠

Somebody... please... cry

no clue 😬
