gizmologist Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I've finished the Dragonborn main quest, but the Black Books in my inventory are still quest items, so I can't drop them. Do they stay quest items forever? Or is there some quest that I haven't finished yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenderHooligan Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 They remain quest items forever, much like the Elder Scrolls. Supposedly this mod allows you to get them out of your inventory if that's what you're looking for: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/31807//?.

Vexedforest Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Luckily, they don't weigh very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RatcatcherOfKvatch Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 The Black Books open portals to those most precious of Daedric artifacts, safe storage containers. They only work in Solstheim, but man do they ever work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmologist Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 Safe Storage! Of course! Clever! Using Placeable Statics, I bet I could convert the whole plane of Apocrapha into a personal player home! Won't Hermie be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kursan Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Dang I had the same question and was going to look into it. Can't believe they expect you to carry them all around forever, there are more to be picked up besides the main quest you know...What I will do and here is my suggestion is use the console command: player.drop (insert item number here) and hit enter. You can find the numbers online easy enough.Alternatively you can sell them I think, but then you can't use them if you ever feel like going back to Oblivion.

They only work in Solstheim, but man do they ever work. Unfortunately, I don't think the storage is safe in Apocrypha. I looked in the CK, and also found in-game that they respawn. Damn. Of course, you can also just dump stuff on the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmologist Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Now that I've messed with it, I realize there is a very good reason why the Black Books remain quest items forever. If you were to drop one, you wouldn't be able to pick it up without getting sent to Apocrypha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eLucifer Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 If you don't want a mod to remove them but also want to keep them in a chest or something, just remove them with console commands as usual. Then go to your desired container, open console, click on the container, and use the ''additem xxx 1'' command for all books and they will be in the container. Beware though, if you pick the boks up, you will have to do this all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
