Well, you can't have necromancy as a skill. It just won't let you. The ability to summon things thouh is labeled "Conjuration" and you can get easy spells for it such as "Summon Skeleton" and "Summon Scamp".

One of my favorite skills.

Daxter King 06-13-2007 03:51 PM

Conjuration is what I ment. Wish I had chosen it as one of my major skills.

You should have done some of the things you can summon with a high level are awesome!:fuzsmile:

if you choose it as a major skill, you automatically get a summon skeleton spell. I love having the possibility of summoning a Deadroth whenever I want to. those things kick arse.

Daxter King 06-14-2007 02:23 PM

I just use scrolls for now.

Salamander 06-14-2007 05:34 PM

There is no point in taking Conjuration as a Major Skill, it levels so fast that anyone could easily be a master in it. Conjuration can easily be levelled by making a spell that only last one second.

If your a member of the arcane university there's some amusing and useful spells you can make:

Casanova:charm 100 points for 3 secs on touch(saves money on bribing)

Human freight train (x) feather/fortify strength 100 pts for 120 secs on self(relace x with numbers so you can make as many as want)

master of camoflauge :100% for 30 secs on self

And just for fun

Pub fight! :frenzy level (x) for (x) ft for 25 secs on target

C4: fire damage 3 pts for 100 ft on target

(note some of these spells need quite high levels and magicka but still if you can cast them you reap the benifits)

Arxryl 06-15-2007 02:08 PM

I need to try that Pub fight spell.... ;)

Anyone know where I can get a spell that unlocks all locks?

You have to make it yourself. You can make an "Unlock Very Hard Lock" spell, provided you already have any Unlock spell, and your Alteration skill is high enough. It may have to be 100, not sure.

Damn, I have it in the 20s or 30s. Though I do have an unlock easy spell.

Why don't you just get the skeleton key?

Around fishermens rock north of leyawin is a daedric shrine that asks you to retrive something.

So go to leyawin and talk to the guards about the subject leyawin they'll tell you about an argonian that was bragging about a heist.

go to his house ,talk to him and crouch near the door to over hear a talk about where they stashed the item.

Go to tide water cave, retrive the eye of nocturnal and bring it back to the shrine to be rewarded with the skeleton key an unbreakable lockpick and a 40 point bonus on your security skill.;)

Daxter King 06-16-2007 06:18 PM

He, I just figured out where the evil peoples' hideout is, how far am I in the game?

Arxryl 06-16-2007 07:26 PM

Not very far. you are about.... one 16th through the main quest. It's fun killing all the mythic dawn agents tho'... :):):):):) Smiley goodness.

Daxter King 06-16-2007 07:43 PM

Whew, good. Any idea on when I get my next quest item or meet someone that will level up my abilities?

mitsur 06-16-2007 07:46 PM

Well, I think you were suposed to sneak in and play along, not kill everyone.

I dunno, you might be sooner than I think you are.

BTW, played a bit of Oblivion today and got bored quickly. So I rerolled as a mage named Gandalf and starting burninating the peasents, while listening to the Trogdor theme. Great fun.

Wow, No. I'd say he's completed roughly 33% the main quest.

Ah that is the joy of multiple saves. I always make a new one, in case I ever want to go on a rampage.

Meh. I'm not really sure... with how long and tedious some of the tasks are it makes the main quest seem a lot longer, but I think you may be correct. But the hard stuff is still to come.

speed the scrab 06-19-2007 08:08 AM

I know a few glitches for infinte money if at any time your short on cash

1: complete the cure for vamprisim quest and afterwars talk to the count and select the reward option for 1000 gold but the reward option wont disappear so just keep selectin reward over and over for 1000 gold each time.

2: go to the camp outside of kvatch and mount your horse go talk to the orc merchant and sell your equiped weapon you'll get you gold but you'll still have your weapon so rinse and repeat.

3:in the imperial city talos plaza lives an npc named dorian go to his house bribe him to increase his gold and kill him search his corpse for his gold take it and it wont disappear repeat until your need for cash is satisfied.

(I have seen these work but can't do them myself damn xbox live patches!):flames:

Daxter King 06-19-2007 12:49 PM

If you use system maitenince, all patches have to be re downloaded.

speed the scrab 06-19-2007 12:56 PM

Tell me more DK...

Daxter King 06-19-2007 03:19 PM

Go to the system Dashboard Blade, go to memory, highlight the Harddrive. Then press Y, then press x,x, left bumper, right bumper, x,x. It will ask to run system maintenance, select yes. You then have to re download all game patches, I've done it, it doesn't screw up anything important.

speed the scrab 06-20-2007 01:27 PM

Thanks DK!;)

Please excuse the double post but anyway
Does anyone know about any secret groups you can become part of?
e.g white stallions, vertious blood ect.

mitsur 06-22-2007 02:22 PM

Well, I maxed out my rep with the Dark Brotherhood, the Mage Guild, and the Fighter's Guild. I dunno about any other groups.

Strike Witch 06-23-2007 05:54 AM

Best thing for fun?

The Skull Of Corruption staff with the Staff of Worms. kill someone, raise them from death, then make them fight themselves!

Awesome.

Wabbajack is kickarse too.

Where do you get either of those? I didn't play that long I guess.

You get them from quests, this isn't Morrowind where you can actually find decent stuff.

Yeah, I tend to have the same reaction after trudging through one of Oblivion's pointless cookie-cutter dungeons with only a handful of gold and a bunch of shitty potions to show for it.

Good thing they added more random loot to Oblivion. That was a total improvement over Morrowind.

Daxter King 06-24-2007 06:26 PM

Morrowind suxorz.

Does that even make sense? You referenced Oblivion twice..

Levelled loot sucks in my opinion, it makes absolutely no sense, why should a ton of bandits suddenly have full Daedric because I do?

SeaRex 06-24-2007 10:35 PM

Boy. I sure did.

Because I was being sarcastic. I was agreeing with you.

Sarcastically.

People say stuff like thise, then they 'snore' at Morrowind. You are exempt because you like the wind.

Wtfjuice!

I like modding for Morrowind. Haven't tried Oblivion yet, as the computer I use has a GeForce 5600 (lol at me).

speed the scrab 06-25-2007 02:05 PM

Done any interesting mods?

mitsur 06-25-2007 07:55 PM

In some ways, I prefer Morrowind. In others, I pefer Oblivion.

Oblivion wins graphics-wise hands down, obviously. I also liked how you were able to keep track of quests, unlike the shitty journal Morrowind had. The end-game equipment was also better, because, as I've said before, Morrowind gave you a crap ring for beating the boss guy. I liked being able to ride a horse instead of running much as well. Another point in Oblivion's favor is the sense of location. In Oblivion I quickly became famililar with the cities and towns. In Morrowind I was constantly, hopelessly lost.

But Morrowind wins in the story factor. It is tons more in-depth. While I wasn't able to identify with the Morrowind characters as much as I did with Oblivion, they weren't as one-sided. The exploration was also much better, because, like Sea Rex said, the dungeons weren't cookie-cutters of the same ruins or cave like Obivion. The equipment also looked much more badass. Sure, in Oblivion I was wearing full Daedra armor, but it was more like 'Wow, that's hawt' one time, then, 'Eh, it's kinda cool.' Then it was, 'Wow, I look like a total ****ing retard running around in this shit.'

Another big point in Morrowind is that you're crazy unstoppable when you fully buff yourself up and use the bound weapon summoning. Then you annihilate any and every enemy in your way.

Then there's the fact that you can actually kill people involved in the plot in Morrowind, instead of 'knocking them out' in Oblivion. And the worst part is that almost everyone I got bored and tried to kill in Oblivion ended up being part of the plot. Lamest anti-kill mechanic ever.

It's still a toss up which one I like better, though.

I'm currently undecided about buying the expansions for Oblivion, I like Oblivion, but I don't know If I like it enough..
