• † These Items must be turned in to complete the quest.
  • The Unofficial Oblivion Patch addresses this issue. it adds the Bloodworm Helm and Necromancer's Amulet to the Arch-Mage's Nightstand after the questline is completed.
• †† These items are leveled in an odd manner, making the best version an intermediate leveled version. In addition, it is impossible to get both the best Amulet of Interrogation and the best Mind and Body Ring, due to the timing of the quests and the improper way that the items are leveled.
  • The Unofficial Oblivion Patch addresses this issue. it corrects the odd leveling.
• ± These items are not leveled correctly. The Necromancer's Amulet is leveled off of Caranya, who is always level 30. Thus the player will always get the best version. Although Redwave is a leveled item, all versions are identical.
  • The Unofficial Oblivion Patch addresses this issue. it changes the stats of the leveled versions of Redwave.
