Khajiit Caravans

Is anyone else as confused as I am about where the Khajiit caravans go and for how long? Well, I just finished the quest to find Kharjo's Moonstone Amulet (location is random), and decided that I wanted to look into this mystery. UESP gives some basic info about them, but not as much as Wiki does. Neither one of them are very detailed about where and when the caravans go. I am starting with Ahkari's Caravan so revisit this post for updates.

Ahkari's Caravan Update: If you've read the Wiki page then you know that each caravan has hidden loot. Ahkari's is to the left of Iron Breaker Mine, behind a tree, in between a small boulder and the wall of the mountain. Watch for the prompt to "search chest". This is an interesting way to sell things and then get them back for free.

Amédë Level 35

By now I have two kids, Falkreath and Dawnstar houses are built, and I am married to Vilkas (which means I have finished the Companions quest line). I have finished a few miscellaneous quests along with the White File quest which I did quite accidentally while finding an heirloom for someone. I will do walk-throughs of the Companions quest line as well as the other smaller quests I've done in later posts.

I'm not sure why but every time I do a post it also makes a comment from myself of the post itself. Does anyone else have this happen with their blogs?

Update: I've figured out that if I don't sign in through my blog page it will post those comments. Please ignore them unless you feel like reading it again :)

Quest: Bleak Falls Barrow/ The Golden Claw

Well hello all,
As you can probably tell by now, I go through little spurts of playing Skyrim (whether because of time constraints or because I get bored with it for a time) but now I'm back on with Amédë doing the both the Bleak Falls Barrow quest (to retrieve the dragonstone) and The Golden Claw (to retrieve the golden claw). On your way up to Bleak Falls Barrow you will run into a leveled animal on your first or second bend in the path. There is also a tower you will go past that apparently doesn't have a name (or maybe it's just part of the barrow). Anywho, there are two bandits there to kill, usually one by the tree directly in front of the bridge to the tower, and the other one prowls around inside the tower. If you have a bow like I do, I get close enough to just make out the first bandit, kill him and then kill his friend when they come running out of the tower. <I'll edit here when I have time to look around for specific loot in the tower>. A little way ahead and around the corner is the barrow. Creep along the boulders to the left until you can see a lookout post jutting out. One bandit paces that bridge and can easily be picked off. One they're taken care of, go PAST the stairs (don't go up them yet) and go around the pillar of another lookout post, you'll see the stairs going directly up to the door. Hide where you can see the whole outside area. There will be a bandit standing by a pillar diagonally right of you, and the other bandit will be behind the stairs, but come running out if you kill the other one first. Now jump up onto the stone walk, go up the stairs and proceed into the barrow.

Once inside, proceed quietly to the back of the room. There will be two bandits standing in front of a fire, talking. There will be a few dead skeevers and a dead bandit on your way back that you can loot, another bandit will be lying on top of a burial table. Next to the fire is a Novice chest. Walk down the stairs and through the cobwebs, loot a few burial urns around the corner, go down another set of stairs, find more minor loot around the corner, and keep going till you reach a doorway where you see a bandit killed by poison darts. The room will have a puzzle, that follows the emblems above the next doorway (except for the middle one that is on the floor). There is a health potion up the stairs on a bookshelf. When you go through the gate, go up to the table in front of you, there will be the skill book Thief, some burial urns and a chest to loot. As you wind your way down the next staircase, skeever will come running up (I don't know if this has happened with anyone else, but normally they just run past me). You'll hear Arvel the Swift call out as you continue. Bust through the spiderweb in the next door way and battle a giant frostbite spider. I like to go back through the doorway and lure the spider over there because it can't get through and will stand there trying to attack you while you can pelt it with arrows...or whatever. Arvel will continually scream and shout. You'll see him stuck in the cobwebs in the next doorway. There will be a few egg sacs that you can loot. Get Arvel down from his mess and he will run away calling you a fool. You can either kill him now, or wait and let the draugr get him in the next room. Kill the sleeping draugr and the prowling one. Loot Arvel if you didn't already kill him and take the golden claw. Watch for the swinging gate trap before moving ahead, kill a few more sleeping draugr in the next room, and then go through a hallway with swinging blades. Through the next hallway, kill any draugr that get in your way (there will be a couple standing unconscious in their holes).

When you get to a room with a waterfall, a draugr will burst out of its crypt. There is a chest on the other side of the room. Turn right from the doorway and pull the chain to open the gate over the river. There are a couple groups of glowing mushroom you can pick. Before you get to the end of the river, turn right next to a chest and go down thepath (or die a painful death) there will be a troll around the bend that you can kill from the river opening. There is a chest, a couple skeletons, and a skeever at the bottom of that ramp, loot the and then go back up through the next path across the bridge. In the next cavern, kill the draugr and go through the door to Bleak Falls Sanctum. After going through another hallway with swinging blades, the next room will have a draugr up on the bridge, one in the upper area, and one that comes out from it's crypt right after coming through the door. You can utilize a fire spell here with the oil on the floor, or shoot down one of the hanging lamps. Go up and across the bridge and through another door to a large hallway. At the end is a puzzle door. Go into your items menu to the golden claw and zoom in on it to see the code to the door (this is how it is for all puzzle doors and claws). Once you have the emblems right, activate the keyhole and proceed on (I remember the first time I ran into these doors, I thought it was so much better than Oblivion).

Ok, guys, you're in the last room. You've got this.
The only thing you'll have to fight in here is a leveled draugr. Go across the bridge and up to the Word Wall platform. Before activating the Word Wall, I suggest looting everything you can/want, because the draugr will come away after you receive the word. Once you are ready, activate the wall (Unrelenting Force) and then RUN across the bridge again. The draugr has the disarm shout, so I suggest using a destruction spell (EVEN if you don't plan to use magic or are not that high in destruction). Now, your plan of attack is obviously up to you, but if you're a low level which most people are when they do this quest, you might want to follow my battle plan.
Get the draugr to come down to the bridge and stay on the south side right next to the river. As soon as he gets close enough, blast the draugr with your spell and then jump over to the other side of the river before he gets close enough to attack you. He will go back over the bridge to try to get you again, attack him with your spell as soon as he's in range and then leap over to the other side again. Wash, rinse, repeat.
In this game, I had waited such a long time before doing this quest that I was able to kill him with two shots before he even got down to the bridge. I had waited so long because once this quest is done, the quest that initiates the dragons starts when you get back, and personally I like to be a little bit stronger to take care of dragons).

Now, loot the draugr for the dragonstone, go up the far steps and head on out and back to Whiterun!

Things I Miss at the Beginning of a Game

Anytime I start a game I always find myself trying to do things that I'm able to in my other games that are much higher levels. So I decided to write a pitty party post about the things I miss when I start a game, here they are:

• The Whirlwind Sprint shout
• Having a Hearthfire house
• Mad archery (or any fighting) skills
• My map being full of places I've been
• The Speech perk allowing sales of any type of item to any kind of merchant
• Having the Dawnguard quest line done (I'm not a fan of vampires attacking out of nowhere)
• Having Alchemy, Enchanting, and Smithing to 100
• The Archery perk that allows you to zoom in your view when the bow is drawn

There are definitely others, but these are what came to me today.

Leave me your comments with what YOU miss when you start a new game...

Amédë Level 15

So obviously I've leveled up a little bit since the first post about Amédë. I spent the better part of levels 1-15 joining both the Thieves Guild and the Companions so that I can work on the smaller quests in those factions. I also did a few smaller quests including "Innocence Lost" (gets you your first meeting with the Dark Brotherhood), "The Book of Love (some missions for the priestess of Mara in Riften), and little things like taking a sword to the steward of Whiterun, telling some punk to leave a girl alone, brawling with someone who was bullying a dark elf woman in Windhelm, etc etc etc. I also got to the point where I have all the effects figured out for all ingredients (not including ingredients from Dawnguard or the Dragonborn plug-ins, or the ingredients you can only get from Blackreach), this was made tremendously easier with the help of the Skyrim Alchemy Shared Effects app. I have also built my first house in Falkreath with the money I made from selling potions. At my house I have the garden growing Swamp Fungal Pod and Imp Stool for an expensive paralysis potion, once I feel I've collected enough from that, I will plant Blue Mountain Flower and Wheat (it makes a health potion that not only restores health, but fortifies it too.

Normally, I buy the house in Whiterun and use that as a base early on in the game (I don't really trust the chests at Jorrvaskr or the Cistern, even though they've been pronounced safe), but I like having a huge house to store my stuff in (I'm a huge organizer at heart), have both an alchemy lab and an enchanter's table AND have children. I also like the extra boost in speech and smithing skills you get from purchasing materials and building the Hearthfire houses.

My loosely-held plan is to build up a good financial basis while finishing the Companions quest line (I almost always marry Vilkas), and honestly I think it's the easiest Faction questline out of all of them when you're starting off. I will also be working on doing the small jobs for Delvin and Vex, discovering all the smaller towns, settlements and mines.

Skyrim Apps: Skyrim Alchemy Shared Effects

Skyrim Alchemy Shared Effects looks a little rudimentary at first glance but how it helps your gameplay is anything but. This app lets you select an ingredient, chose which effects you want to see corresponding ingredients for and it even tells you how many effects it will give you. It's like my alchemy cheat table on steroids.
Check it out here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=skyrim.alchemy.ingredients

Amédë: Beginning

At the moment I am creating a new character, a wood elf named Amédë. I chose the wood elf because I like the advantages to archery, sneak, lockpicking, light armor and alchemy. If you know me and how I play Skyrim, you know I favor archery and alchemy.
No matter what race I am, I haven't really used the racial powers or abilities as much as I ought to. But seeing as each of my characters is for the purpose of trying something new I think I'll try to make the most of it with Amédë.  I do like that wood elves are 50% resistant to disease and poison as I dont really like being a vampire and find it annoying having ANY diseases or being poisoned.

I am just going through the very beginning of the game, so I think I'll use this post to talk about how I go through the beginning.

Starting from after Alduin attacks, follow Ralof into a tower where Ulfric Stormcloak will talk about how "legends don't burn down villages." You'll follow Ralof up the stairs where Alduin will bust through the wall and fly away. Upon Ralof's suggestion, jump down to the building below, fall through the hole in the floor, and run outside where you'll run into Hadvar. Wait until he tells you to follow and escape across the town where you'll run into Ralof again. This is where you'll decide whether to follow Ralof or Hadvar the rest of the way. Ralof is obviously a Stormcloak and Hadvar an Imperial soldier. The only perks to following either one is who's family you'll become friends with and which side you'll get an advocate for.
Follow Ralof or Hadvar into the keep. You'll take the armor and weapon(s) from a fallen comrade. If you're anything like me and like to pick up a lot of stuff to sell or whatever its a good idea to ditch your prisoner garb now. I like to go into sneak mode at this point and wait for the guards to come through the East gate. Take care of them, loot them if you so desire and continue on. In the next room there will be a chest to your left with more imperial light armor, a sword and a key. A chest to your right at the foot of the second bed will hold a helmet and gold. A few more gold pieces are farther up on the table to the left. Loot the rest of the room and go back to the front of the keep and unlock the west door. Go down the stairs and into a corridor where Alduin will collapse the ceiling. Go through the door to the left and take care of two more imperial soldiers. There a is a health potion and a magicka potion on the bookshelves to the left and more in the indicated barrel. There's also rock warbler eggs in a basket in front of a table around the corner. Move on and take care of yet two more imperials. There's a knapsack on a table in the middle of the room with a health potions and some lockpicks. There's also The Book of the Dragonborn in front of it. Go pick the lock on the cage (I suggest doing all the cages for extra points towards lockpicking). There's a few gold pieces, a spell box and enchanted mages robes on the body. Loot whatever you like and continue on. Practice lockpicking on the cell doors and find a coin bag in the last cell to the right.
There isn't much in the next room besides some bodies in hanging cages. Moving on, you'll come to a large cavern with at least 5 imperial soldiers in it. There is also oil on the floor that xan be set on fire. Deal with them and loot them if you like (this is where you'll get your first bow if you want).
Follow Ralof across the bridge. Follow the stream and when you turn right, there is a coin bag on the ledge. You'll come to another cavern where you fight some frostbite spiders. Loot the egg sacs for alchemy ingredients.
Next cavern contains a bear where you can attack her or sneak past for sneak points.
There's a chest on a ledge somewhere, I think it's before the bear but I cant seem to find it anywhere. I'll update when I find it again.
Follow Ralof out of the cave. You'll duck to avoid the dragon and then follow him to Ridgewood where you'll talk with his sister, Gerder, and her family (if you followed Hadvar you'll meet his cousin Sigrid and her family- the blacksmiths). There's a few alchemy plants to pick as you go, if you like, especially thistles and mountain flowers. You'll also pass a guardian stone (it's always the mage for me but I don't think it changes, even though my fiance has tried to tell me differently). You'll also get attacked by a couple wolves.
Once you reach Riverwood, you'll go immediately to the left and follow Ralof to his sister past the lumber mill. Once their done talking Gerder will offer you supplies and give you a key to the house. She'll ask you to go to Whitening and warn the Harley about the dragon and ask for reinforcements at Riverwood.
From here I would suggest going straight to Whitening and speaking to the Jarl (and stopping to pick flowers on the way) but it's not necessary. If you picked up loot, you'll want to sell a lot of it right away. This is, of course, the beginning of the main quest.
Depending on how you want to play the game I would suggest waiting till you've leveled up a bit in your choice of weapon as well as armor before continuing anymore with the main quest. But if you're one of those that doesn't mind the constant challenge and are ok with dying repeatedly then continue with the main quest.
Personally I like to immediately start on my alchemy, since thats my main source of money (use my alchemy cheat guide to make this process go a lot faster). Then once I make 5000 in gold, I go to Falkreath, speak to the Jarl and do the quest that allows you to build your own house, and purchase the land (you get all the supplies to build the small layout and then you can build the rest of the house as you get resources, you do have to get resources to build all the furniture except for a chest that is automatically in the house).
If you have any questions or have a favorite way to start the game please leave a comment below.

More from Amédë later!

Tidbit: Health Potions

I will be doing a more in depth post on alchemy, but for now here's a tidbit:

To level up in alchemy the fastest start buying all ingredients (except daedra hearts and void salts, EEEK expensive!) and make as many potions as you can, use my cheat sheet for help with getting this done faster. Keep selling the potions that you don't need and then when you have 5,000 coins, go to Falkreath and talk to the jarl. Out of the three houses, this is the easiest one to get (I like to get all three but I always start with this one first). Once you do whatever quests required to purchase the land (usually killing off some bandits for the jarl), by the land for sale, build your small house and then the garden. Plant two different ingredients from the following list in all the available spots:
Blisterwort
Blue Mountain Flower
Imp Stool
Swamp Fungal Pod
Wheat
(I suggest wheat, imp stool or blue mountain flower since they are easiest to get)

The combination of any of these two will give you health potions which you will be so glad you have. You'll get about 3-4 ingredients each time you harvest which will make more Restore Health potions than you'll know what to do with. This also helps increase your alchemy.
You could also do this with ingredients for Restore Magicka or Restore Stamina potions if your character will require them on a regular basis, but I suggest starting off with health potions.
Your health potions will get to the point where they will be stronger than potions you'd by from an alchemist, woohoo!

EDIT NOTE: If you do blue mountain flower and wheat, it will give you a potion that will both increase your health for a certain amount of time AND restore a certain amount of health.

Stormcloaks VS Imperial Legion Debate

I have done both sides and currently feel like it should have been an option to be neutral and be able to stop the war. There are both good an bad things about being on each side and there is definitely no easy decision. I was going to post pros and cons for each but realized after writing them out that it would be pretty obvious which side I lean towards. So what I will do is give you all some things to think about which may (or may not) help your decision.

Things to research:
-The Forsworn Rebellion
        >Battle of Markarth
        >The Markarth Incident
-White-Gold Concordat
-Stormcloak Rebellion
-The Great War
-Ulfric Stormcloak (pay attention to his conversations with Galmar, especially their convo after his speech following the Battle of Solitude).
-General Tullius (pay attention to his conversations with Legate Rikke)
-What sides each Jarl has chosen and which ones you like and don't like
-Your race's history (this doesn't matter to some people, but it does to others)

I think it is up to each player to learn the inner workings of each side and choose for themselves. If there is any more unbiased info I find I will add it here.

Leave a comment and let people know why you chose the side you did (any comments containing spoilers will be deleted).

Pottermore Deuling Club Help

I know this isn't Elder Scrolls related but it you're on Pottermore and need help with the dueling club, here's some tips:

-Use the Full Body-Bind spell, it is the strongest spell at 145 points.
-Practice the first 4 letters (P-T-F-C, highest score is 83) and try to get a consistent score of 79.
-Use a metronome set at 3/4 time signature at 61 bpm (this signature will not work for the whole spell as the other three letters go faster.) I consistently get a 77-80 point score with this timing. I use an app on my phone.

College of Winterhold

Who hasn't wished that Harry Potter was real (ehm...I mean...for all those muggles out there)?

The College of Winterhold sits at the North tip of Winterhold sitting on top of great column of stone with the treacherous bridges being the only way to reach it.
After climbing up the first ramp, you will be greeted by Faralda who guards the entrance to the college, and is a trainer and seller of Destruction spells. Upon asking her if you may enter the college she will ask you why you want to. It's your choice which answer you give and all except the "I just want to see what it looks like" will continue the conversation to where she will require you to perform a spell. She will request either a firebolt spell, conjure a flame atronach spell, a fear spell, the healing hands spell, or the magelight spell. If you do not have the one she requests you can buy it from her for a cheap price.
After performing the spell she will lead you across the bridges, lighting each of the beacons as you go. and direct you to Mirabelle Ervine the Master Wizard. You will first see Mirabelle getting a lippy with Ancano, a Thalmor agent who serves as an "advisor" to Arch-Mage Aren (high five to Mirabelle). When you speak to her she will welcome you and give you your novice robes and a tour of the grounds. First she'll take you to the Hall of Attainment and show you your quarters (first doorway to the right). All the wardrobes are safe for storage. She will then lead you back to the Hall of Elements where you will attend you first lessons with Tolfdir, a master trainer and seller of Alteration spells, who also resides in the Hall of Attainment.

Tolfdir will already be addressing your four other classmates, who will be dogging him about actually doing some spells. He will ask you what you think, either way he will continue by doing a ward demonstration in which he will ask you to help. If you don't know any ward spells he will give you Lesser Ward for free. Stand on the sigil to the West of him and cast the ward, keeping it up until he casts a destruction spell at you. After this, he will talk about the ruins of Saarthal and the quest "Under Saarthal" will begin.

Introduction

Name: There are some who call me...Christi
First video game: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Favorite video games: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Sims 3
Game console: Xbox 360

I am a female who loves video games and dissecting them into a million pieces to figure them out. I'm also a list person, which means that I have made tons of my own lists and spreadsheets regarding the games I play.

My goal is to make available the most efficient and useful tips and tricks that I have learned from others or come up with myself.

There are only a select few video games that I play (including Skyrim, Sims, Fable, and Call of Duty), but if you have any more to suggest I'd be more than happy to try them out.
If you have a question about something that you cannot find from any of my posts please email me and I'd be more than willing to scout it out.
