Turning a Blind Eye/Arrow of Extrication help

nightinferno · Post by **nightinferno** » Thu May 04, 2006 6:14 pm

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be doing now. I gave the stone to the Grey Fox and now I'm supposed to wait until he calls on me. There's a problem with that though, I gave him the stone over a hundred game days ago. I have fenced over 3000 gold in items and I still haven't been called upon by the Grey Fox again. The quest update on it tells me about the Monks of the Ancestor Moths, about them reading the Elder Scrolls which makes them blind and how they retire to the underground temple. It says that after it tells about the Grey Fox rewarding me. So I was wondering if I did something wrong, if I should just keep waiting , or anything else to do cause I'm confused.

well go to the waterfront wait for a day and then amusei should show up telling you that greyfox want to meet you... good luck

Well, I did that and still nothing. I think that I might have glitched the quest or something, somehow. Oh well...I'll probably just start another game (I was planning on doing this soon anyways). But if anyone else has any advice please share.

Yea...I tried that, didn't work. I'm only doing the thieves guild quests for xbox live gamerscore points, I only need to advance one more time and achieve the top rank to complete it. Once I do that, then I'm heading back to side quests. Anyways, I just started another game and only doing the thieves guild quests, so far I have only 4 more to go...again. I should have it done by tomorrow cause I'm takin a break from it right now.

what if your a vampire, I have this exact problem and sleeping 3-4 days outdoors is kinda a problem.

Make sure Independent thievery is your active quest. And you can be outdoors during daylight if your a vampire if you drank blood the night before. Sometimes I have to drink a persons blood 3-4 times, but still no harm.

If you triggered the Gray Fox quests prematurely (for example, because of the Temple of the Ancestor Moths glitch), make sure to finish all of the other Thieves guild rank advancement quests before you complete the Arrow of Extrication quest. If not, the other quests will reset your guild rank and trigger a serious bug during the Ultimate Heist.
Also, sometimes the Gray Fox won't appear at Malintus Ancrus's house. Malintus Ancrus will tell you not to keep the Gray Fox waiting but he will never show up. What you need to do instead is go to Helvius Cecia's house in Bruma which is where he met with you for the Turning a Blind Eye quest. There is currently no patch or reason for this glitch. After you've gotten the arrow the Gray Fox will still be in Bruma.

Find Amusei (try every major cities) and speak to him.

If you are near him and he whisper "Hold on I have a message/something to tell you" (I forgot the exact sentence), then you are on the right track

All right, time to work.

Some of you haven't completed the quests in order. I'm not sure why it happens, likely the mentioned Moth glitch thing. It happened with my brother's character. You need to restart your game if you want to continue, then do ALL the thieves guild quests IN ORDER. Otherwise, it's glitched and buggy. It could really mess up the rankings and other quests.

Trust me, it's cool that you do one or two quests for the guild, do some exploring, and suddenly you can do the big quests. But don't. Don't even visit the Grey Fox until you complete the other, lower echelon quests.
