Qarth Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 The Umbra sword is the best sword in the game. It does 27 dmg. It can be located in an Aylied Ruin south or south-west of imperial city called Vindasel. A close runner up is a Daedric Longsword with 26 dmg, you can just loot this from some daedras later in the game. ---------My problem --------- I just completed the quest for the "Madstone" at Pale Pass for the countess of some city (the Akavari collector). She gave me the Ring of Vipereye, but I didn't try putting it on. I went and did another quest (the quest with the stolen money, where you had to go to jail to talk to a quest character) I lost all my inventory there and got them back, but I was naked so I re-equipped all my equipment. While I was doing that I tried putting on the ring and it wouldn't let me put it on! A message comes up, but i can't remember what is it but it's somewhere along the line of "You can't put this on" Dam! What's wrong? or would someone like to tell me the location of a better ring? Not really true, just as in Morrowind, the best swords are the ones you enchant. Goldbrands are the best IMO, but I'm a mage. Umbra was a staple sword in Morrowind if you didn't play it. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenSheep Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 (edited) Not really true, just as in Morrowind, the best swords are the ones you enchant. Goldbrands are the best IMO, but I'm a mage. Umbra was a staple sword in Morrowind if you didn't play it. :yes: Yeah there are arguments regarding Goldbrand and Umbra. Well those two are the strongest enchanted swords you'll find in the world of the game. You could just enchant your own Daedric Longsword and that would just own as much I presume. The Goldbrand is at a shrine. Boethia's Shrine located: South-East of Cheydinhal (Quite far down) Looking on your map it is: Between the T of "The Reed River" and the M of "The Valus Mountains" It's right in the middle of those two letters, very hard to explain the location but that was my try at it Edited April 16, 2006 by GoldenSheep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Laughing Man Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 As to continue from my vampire cure quest i researched online came to this site Faq's @ IGN and i read the whole thing to the part where it says this "I've heard that if you turn in the items in the wrong order that it bugs your game and you will have to reload a previous save if you want to complete the quest. The order I turned in the items was blood grass, nightshade, garlic, Argonian blood, and finally vampire ashes." i know this is true because i didnt do it in any specific order at all by the time i realized it was infact a bug it was too late i was about 50+ saves ahead of this quest just trying to run around the place lookin for stuff, i noticed at first that something was wrong because everytime i went back to the woman with a new item she woudlnt accept it, i had Nightshade she didnt "notice" that i had it , even now i cant even harvest any bloodgrass says "nothing of use" or something to that phrase, now im completly screwed in the game im stuck as a vampire and its killing my game experiance they need to patch this bug seriously im so not happy now im tired of having to sleep so much ingame and feeding off of ppl :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
