Balmora thieves quest - help!

OMG i'm stuck again.

 

I'm doing the quest where you have to go over to Pelagiad & steal the dwenmer bowl from the shopkeep & show it to the dodgy guard over at the fort to release the thief (Fat shoes his name could be can't remember for sure.)

 

Anyway I have previously been into the traders shop & looted his place so I think I have already taken the bowl. I've looked everywhere in his place for it (including saving & looking on his person etc) but i'm thinking i've probably stolen it & sold it somewhere. I have no idea where tho.

 

I tried getting another bowl from the Dwenmer ruins but this bowl didn't seem to work when I spoke to the guard.

 

My question is does it matter if it isn't a bowl I steal from the trader? Or am I doing something wrong here?

 

Or is there a way to put the original bowl back where I found it using the editor or something. I know its cheating but it could take me days to track down THE bowl.

It's not a bowl you need it's a dwemer coherer. If you have that right it should work. I'm not certain if any coherer will do, it sometimes depends on the version of the game, but try picking one up from a dwemer ruin. If that doesn't work someone will supply the console command.

Erm - it's a thingy a bit like a fat dwemer tube with handles - sorry description's not my forte. It's pretty heavy for it's value so you may not have picked it up. Anyway I think there is one in the dwemer ruin near Fort Moonmoth. If you find the path where you have to jump over the lava into the observatory and then levitate I believe there is one on the ledge. If not it is on the floor. (But my memory is not 100%).

I had the same problem with this quest, right at the start of the game I decided to flex my theiving skills by trying to take everything in Pelagiad that was not nailed down. The coherer SHOULD be in the upstairs room of Mebestien's shop in a small box on the southern wall. It's the only container in there bar the wardrobe if I remember right.

 

If you have half-inched it, then Mebestien won't have it in his barter inventory anymore if you try to buy the thing off him - for all Merchants this inventory is linked to various containers and physical objects round their shops, take the object from the container or from a shelf it is no longer buyable.

 

In my case I knew I had to have sold the thing in Balmora, as this was right at the start of the game and Pelagiad was the first place I saw after Seyda Neen. IN the vent I eventually found the merchant who took my Pelagiad loot and bought the thing back. Presumably you too unloaded your loot in Balmora or Seyda Neen, with Ebonheart and Suran as outsiders. I do not know if getting another coherer from another source will work.
