If you're talking about the quest from the ghost that haunts the shore, the chest was up river near a dock, and there's a bandit camp immediately above the area.
But if you click on the quest in your journal it will direct you to the exact area. I had to use a potion of night eye to locate the chest as it's near some boulders on the river bottom and was hard to find. I jumped off the dock and swam a few strokes downriver. A Light spell would probably help better than Night Eye, but that was all I had.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

Originally posted by syd: hagatha I thought it did but I swear I was higher than 42 in Strength - I'm a Battlemage for crying out loud. Maybe I'm wrong and it's always been that low but honestly I can't wear any type of heavy armor (and that is a major skill of mine) and be able to carry any loot. It's very annoying.
If your stats page shows strength as red, then it is damaged and needs to be fixed. Or maybe you had a piece of equipment that upped your strength, and that's either broken or gone now.

I just found a mini-quest in my Skingrad House. Lots of small loot, too, for the reward.

Has anyone else found difficulty trying to find Shum gro-Yarug to buy Rosethorn? I've waited for him at the correct times every day of the week and he never turns up - AND I WANT THAT HOUSE. Alice

Pib, have done all that and it is my active quest but the arrow has remained on the castle although I have searched and can't find Shum gro-Yarug there.
Also something similar is happening to my much needed next quest from the Gray Fox. Completed TURN A BLIND EYE but, as I wait to obtain the Arrow of Extrication Quest the arrow remains on Anvil Castle. What is happening?

I had that problem with buying the Skingrad House, too. I never saw him at the castle during the day, and I could never find him at night.In the end I found him by waiting just inside the gate leading out to the Castle, in increments of one hour, and caught him coming towards the gate in the morning.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

Alice, I thought you already bought the house in Skingrad. You told me of an easier way to jump-up to get the "Long Forgotten Note" in the top master bedroom. This lead to the "Rosethorn Cache". Remember me saying I hooked myself on the antlers to reach the note? Marilyn ![think think](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/think.gif)
Everyone has a photographic memory...some just don't have any film. Mine was over exposed.

Thanks Hagatha and Pokey - will try your way.
Marilyn, I did buy it once but, if you remember, I made a mess of some thing or other and had to go back some way to a previous save - AND IT WAS ONE OF THE COMPLETED QUESTS I LOST. *&(%^$*
Out of sheer desparation (sp?) I started the Fighter's Guild quests and have been killing rats. RATS

I've tried the old drop-and-hope method, but it doesn't work very well! The z key allows you to grab something. The trick is that you then use the normal movement to move the item over or on top of where you want it while holding the z key. Some things like cups are very tricky to rotate back to right side up. When you have your hand over something and press the z key, it doesn't look like anything happened, very confusing! But try lifting the cursor upwards... I put Wabbajack into a Skingrad display case and felt very proud of myself. ![rotfl rotfl](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/rotfl.gif)

Oh well, all storage in your [city] house is perfectly safe. ![smile smile](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/smile.gif) 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.

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.
Love Thy Neighbor

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.
