Duplicate Quest Item Bug


Majnun

Recommended Posts

This is more of a warning than a plea for help. If you see 2 quest items (when there should only be one...like in most cases) do *not* pick up both of them. Of course the fact that they are both in the world at the same time might break the quest even if you only pick up one of them (I can't really test that just now).

 

The Thieve's Guild quest "Ahdarji's Heirloom" has you retrieve a ring from the jewelry box of the countess of Leyawiin. Not a problem, I'd done it before with a character I decided to scrap. Much easier this time except that there were TWO of the rings in the jewelry box. And me being the greedy thieving male without a father that I am I couldn't resist and took them both.

 

Well, that was a bad idea. Ahdarji will not give me the dialogue option to give her the ring. It only gives me the "No, I still don't have it." option. So I'm assuming having 2 of them in my inventory (or possibly having 2 of them in the world) is screwing the quest up. And since it's a quest item I can't drop one to see if that helps. And yes, it is the right item (it's name is exactly the name of the quest).

 

Reload an older save you say? Well...um...I kinda don't have any before getting the ring(s).

 

Is it a simple thing to reset a quest in a saved game (using the editor)? Or is it even possible? Or at least to delete one of the rings and see if that helps? I'll probably just tinker with the CS and try to figure it out.

 

I've seriously tinkered with my .ini file but nothing that I could imagine causing this. But I was running 21 mods at the time of the duplicate ring appearing and one of them may be the culprite. I have a feeling it's the "Feather Ring 500" mod that did it. That mod gave me 2 copies of the feather ring but only one of them was wearable at a time (but I had both in my inventory). And yes I tried disabling the mod and seeing if it got rid of one of the quest rings, or allowed me to finish the quest, but it didn't help.

 

I'll probably start a new game and test that mod (and this quest) as soon as I can (being safer with saves to fall back on). Kinda sucks since I'd already decided to do away with the Feather Ring mod because it made things too easy...guess that's what I get for cheating. :)

I have gotten this bug as well, not used any mods at all, very annoying, I do have saves from before taking both rings however, so I will see if only taking one allows me to finish the quest.

 

 

*UPDATE*: I just replayed my save game taking only one of the two rings, sure enough, I was able to complete the quest this time!

 

So if you see duplicate quest items, only take one of them!
