UESP Forums

Thanks to the plethora of knowledge on UESP, I've decided to go back and do EVERYTHING Oblivion has to offer (complete every quest, collections, efficient leveling, etc.), but I've hit a roadblock. I've collected every piece of every set of armor and weapons except for a fine steel battle axe. Visits on different occasions to every cities' smiths have resulted in nothing. My character's at level 47, yet I still see fine steel weapons (even iron) in various merchants inventories so I don't believe I've leveled past it.

Does anyone remember or know where you found your fine steel battle axe? Does it spawn anywhere in Cyrodiil?

On a side note, I've tried every smith's private quarters, fighters guildhalls, and all of the Orc homes within Cyrodiil (seeing as how they love their axes!). I've found a handful of steel battle axes sitting around, which is just cruel because they look so much like fine steel! Regretfully, my search continues!

Your best chance of finding it is from Urbul gro-Orkulg at Slash 'N Smash in the Imperial City. The full list of other locations is as follows.

Vendors:

• Fire and Steel
• Cutter (SI)
• Hammer and Tongs
• Morvayn's Pacemakers
• The March Rider
• Hammer and Axe
• Chorrol Fighters Guild
• Bravil Fighters Guild
• Best Goods and Guarantees
• Borba's Goods and Store
• Three Brothers Trade Goods
• The Wastrel's Purse (SI)

A specific cupboard in these locations has a chance to contain it:

• Glademist Cave
• Fire and Steel
• Best Goods and Guarantees
• Hammer and Axe

Good luck, because there's literally nowhere else it spawns.

Thanks, legoless! I finally found one at the Chorrol Fighters Guild. Sabine Laul had one in her merchant inventory.

Glad you found it!
