Oh well, all storage in your [city] house is perfectly safe. But that's potentially useful for other heads of the Mage Guild. There may be one spot like that per guild head office, but I'm not willing to risk the equipment to find out.

What determines quest payment amount?

I played fighters guild early in the game and many quests at the start gave me 100 gold for doing the contract. I watched my husband play the same quest (he started fighters later in the game) and he got 200 gold! What made the difference? He thought maybe personality level, but I wonder if it has to do with game level. Anyone know?

It's supposed to be your level in the game that determines many of those rewards. Much like he'd be finding better armor and weapons on the opponents as well.

Hi all,

Well I have been going around doing Deadra Shrine Quests for the special loot and I am really enjoying my summon Deadra helper. Its a lot of fun watching him run ahead of me and do my dirty work for me hehe.

Well like I said....this game would indeed be very short if it were only the Main Quest to do. Thank Goodness there are Guild Quests, Deadra Shrine Quests, Miscellaneous Quests, Freeform Quests, Dark Brotherhood Quests, and whatever I left out Quests.

Well one of my girls now has beautiful Ebony Armor and I just love the way it looks. I have not found any Glass Armor yet but hope that comes some time soon.

I do however have some glass weapons so maybe soon I will be able to find the Armor.

I remember that you could buy the Glass Armor
in Morrowind if you knew where to look. In this game the shops really do not have very good stuff to sell and they don't even have enough money to buy anything that is very expensive from you either.

I find that if you try to sell anything above the amount that they have then they won't buy it.

If you sell stuff below the amount of money they have available and only one at a time then they will buy it and their money never seems to run out. Weird.

VHL - I have discovered that. If I've three Daedra swords to sell at, say, 750 Gold each. All three will be bought if sold only one at a time. Have recently sold a merchant with 800 gold level over 2,500gold bits and pieces in one visit without bother because not one thing reached his 800g level.

Now, after a no-go day yesterday I'm off to nab Shum gro-Yartub. Fingers crossed.

How high a level do you have to be before you find glass and ebony armour and some of the other exotic stuff? I am at level 11 and close to the end of the main quest. I may have to hang around and work on leveling up to see some of this stuff.

Alice, strange that you can't find Shum-Gro. I run into him everytime I visit the castle.

I think I started consistently finding glass and other armour and weapons at around level 20.

I'm at level 40 right now and find pretty much non-stop Deadric, Glass and Ebony stuff. On the other hand, reaching level 40 meant that my enemies just got exponentially harder -- or so it seems.
