Best quests for early game?

Post by maxitwist »

I have started a new game after very long and want some nice quests to do, the only thing i can think is a must do for now is kill someone so i can get the night mothers caress spell from the dark brotherhood. Otherwise theres that quest called the real hunt or something about killing and chasing people in a fort near leyawin, but i cant remember how to start that on.. was fun though.
suggestions?

See Oblivion:Quest Timing. I also do the DLC quests for the lairs they give you, as those are always useful.

Start The Collector quest for money by taking the statue from Vilverin to Umbacano in the Talos Plaza district, and then go through the ayleid ruins around Chorrol (direct line from Weynon priory to Kvatch finds one) for a second statue and lots of blue+white stones to sell. After turning in the second statue, you are given locations for five more. Those will keep you in cash and provide good opportunity to build skills.

The quest you are talking about sounds like Mazoga the Orc and Black Brugo, which start in Leyawiin castle and get you the best place to live for free. You may also be talkiing about Lost in the Hunt in Bravil. That one is a good source of level-best light and heavy armor and weapons, so it is not a good quest to do early in the game when weapons and armor are junk. Vampire dungeon bosses also give up best level equipement.

I would do ten "city rumor" quests and/or arena fights to get ten fame points so you can get the invisibility spell from the Jone stone asap.

I don't think your restoration spell gets you anything special. It looks like you can cast enough Heal Minor Wound spells in two seconds for the same cost and effect.

"Caught in the Hunt" begins in Bravil when you meet the wife of Aleron Loche and help her get her husband back from an Orc who hangs around one of the taverns.
Baurus: Our job is to get the Emperor out of situations like this. Though I'll admit, things aren't going exactly to plan.

Casandra: At the moment, the deadliest weapon at my disposal is a goblin's head on a stick. I'd be worried if this was the plan.

The quest you're thinking of is "Caught in the Hunt" which can be given by talking to Ursanne Loche. Personally, though, I like to do the quest involving Thoronir and the Society of Concerned Merchants in the Imperial City right after I get out of the sewers. Fighting Agarmir and his sidekick can be kind of tough at low levels, but you get Debaser(drain endurance and willpower), Calliben's Grim Retort(absorb strength and blunt, frost damage) and the Weatherward Circlet(resist fire and frost). I feel like this can be useful for most types of characters, as well as getting you some gold early on.

Caught in the hunt yields the best posible armor and weapons for that level so wait until it has something good like Elven Glass or Daedric. You can tell by checking what the orc is wearing in the pub. You can start the quest any time though by talking to the wife.
