Wich Daedric quest Prize is the most unusefull item?

Sine You have to bring Martin a daedric atrifact, the best way is to use one you dont like... Which one you have chosen.

I think that the Malog Bal quest Prize "the mace of malog bal" is junk. I've much better equipment and the prize is not to compare with namira or azura or similar quest items. So I'll that item to Martin.

Yup, I did the same thing, and it was one of the first ones I got, and never ever used it.

Only 3 I find useful are Azuras star, the ring of kajit, and Umbra.

Ashen · Post by **Ashen** » Fri Jul 07, 2006 6:52 am

These are good indeed but Umbra you don't really get to keep ah?

The Ring of Namaria, I've made better items than that.

I gave the staff of Wabbajack. Worthless piece of junk.

Goldbrand, Mace of Molag Bal and Saviour's Hide are pretty much disposable. You can enchant better items yourself.

Ebony Blade is marginal; you can make superior items with a single effect, but the Ebony Blade's combination of effects can be lethal against spellcasters.

Sanguine Rose, Skull of Corruption and Wabbajack aren't that useful, but they can be a lot of fun in the right circumstances.

Azura's Star, Skeleton Key & Ring of Kajiit are priceless. Umbra too, if you keep it.

Usefulness of others depends on your style of play. Spellbreaker is cool if you use a shield and don't have a lot of other defensive magic. Volendrung is sweet if you prefer Blunt weapons but useless to a Blade specialist. Ring of Namira is handy if you don't wear armor but doesn't help much if you do. Masque of Clavicus Vile is helpful if you rely on Speechcraft & Mercantile, but little more than a hideous doorstop if you just bribe everybody you don't kill (and you will never, ever stop asking yourself "why did I give up Umbra for this piece of junk?!?").

slightly off-topic

Not that you'd ever want to give this one up, but does the Grey Cowl of Nocturnal count as a daedric artifact for Martin's purposes? You don't get it from a daedric shrine quest, but it does have daedric origins (supposedly)...

Ashen · Post by **Ashen** » Fri Jul 07, 2006 11:48 am

No, I don't think it does.

And what's wrong with Goldbrand? I love that sword, though you could say it's sentimental due to previous games.

[QUOTE=Ashen]And what's wrong with Goldbrand? I love that sword, though you could say it's sentimental due to previous games.[/QUOTE]

Sorry, I didn't mean to dis anybody's favorite artifact with the "disposable" label.

I know how you feel. I have a character with a similar sentimental attachment to Chillrend, and it's not even a daedric artifact!

Anyway, I just meant if you have to sacrifice an artifact, there are some whose effects you can recreate by enchanting your own items, and some you can't. In retrospect, I guess I should have split it into Replaceable but Useful (Goldbrand) vs. Replaceable and Useless (Mace & Hide).

OK, OK, the hide makes a fashion statement - wear it if you look good in it!

Now let the hate mail from fans of the mace start rolling in...

How you could do a better enchantment then the namira ring?

Rings have constant effects. And item with constant effects can not have multi-specs (spell effects) as I know. But the namira ring has fortify 10 points of all magic skills. So if you are a spell user the ring can be very handy I think...

Mccool · Post by **Mccool** » Tue Jul 11, 2006 2:36 am

I'm certain I've found better randomly spawned rings though.

Actually, you're talking about the Ring of Wizardry. The Ring of Namira has a [minor spoiler]Resist Damage 12% and Reflect Spell 10% enchantment.[/minor spoiler].

Myself, I only find the Skeleton Key, Umbra, Azura's Star and the Ebony Blade worthy of keeping. The rest can be used as paperweights as far as I'm concerned.

PS. Feels good to be back.

SPOILER

Aw, come on. Maybe it's not the most reliable piece of junk, but watching a Minotaur Lord suddenly transformed into a Goblin Soldier can be a real hoot.

For my money - the hammer of Bonking. Thor uses a hammer. Hephaestus uses a hammer. I'm not them. Give me bow and blade any day.

Besides - I found it (the hammer) first.

I used the Staff of Wabbajack on a few random people wandering inside towns, and nothing happened. So I gave it to Martin.
What is it supposed to do then?

It polymorphs a creature into a different, random creature, but I don't think it works on humanoids/NPCs.

It doesn't affect humanoids - directly. OTOH, you an morph something, for example a guard's horse, into something that is definitively not a guard's horse.

I don't know, but is there still a Daedric Club in Oblivion??

Daedric Clubs are like... the most useless Daedric weapons EVER.
