FAQ:
How do I drop items?
Shift+left-click.
Where can I buy lock picks?
From the Theives Guild fences. They're also available from a guy leaning against a wall near the Chestnut Handy Stables (which is near the west gate of Imperial City).
How do I recharge magic weapons?
People in the Mages Guild will recharge your magical weapons for a fee (albeit a pricy one too).
Where can I find a spell?
They're available at the Mages Guilds at the following locations:
- Alteration spells - Cheydinhal
- Illusion spells - Bravil
- Conjuration spells - Chorrol
- Destruction - Skingrad
- Mysticism - Leyawiin
- Restoration - Anvil (or any church)
With the exception of the house on the waterfront area of Imperial City (which can be purchased in the market district from the Imperial Trade Commission), all houses need the approval of the local Count. In order to buy these houses from the local Count, you need to have a high fame rating. Here they are:
- Imperial City - 2000 G
- Anvil - 5000
- Bravil - 4000 G
- Bruma - 10000 G
- Cheydinhal - 15000 G
- Chorrol - 20000 G
- Leyawin - 7000 G
- Skingrad - 25000 G
How do I kill Dread Zombies and Will-o-Wisps?
Fire and lighting, respectively.
I'm a vampire! Help!
See the above websites for lots of information about vampirism. However, a cure disease potion taken within three days of contraction cures vampirism (which I highly recommend; the quest to cure vampirism after three days has passed is a royal pain in the ass).
Where can I find Ninroot?
In and around the water.
Which merchants have a lot of gold?
The ones in the Imperial City market district have a crap load, especially the salesman at "A Fighting Chance".
What are the Daedra Shrines?
They offer some really, really, really good loot. There's a good map of where they are here. The Wikis above have some information on them.
Where can I buy official add-ons?
On this page. Most items are $1.99.
