Oblivion talk:When the Vow Breaks

Second set of Rockshatters

Does anyone know what the second set of Rockshatters is for in the CS? IDs are 0000CF1A-0000CF1F. They appear identical, except the extra ones don't have the "Quest Item" flagged. Meaning that you can probably drop it without a problem, though it will probably be at full weight instead of the 0 weight that the quest-version is at. I can't figure out if one of these is on Bjalfi's corpse and the other is dropped afterwards, or what. -- TheRealLurlock 20:59, 7 June 2006 (EDT)

Based on the notes on the page, it seems likely that the second set of IDs are used after you've turned Rockshatter in at the end of the quest. So if you decide to pickpocket Maeva, you will get one with the IDs 0000CF1A-0000CF1F. I haven't tested this in game, but I did look into the Draconian Madstone, which also two IDs, one in-quest and one post-quest. --Nephele 12:16, 2 October 2006 (EDT)

Worked after complete, too

I was waiting for the master forger to complete the Lex document and the Rockshatter quest was long complete. I went to the fort (since it repopulates with marauders) and sure enough, Bialfi's body was still where I'd killed him, and there was a second Rockshatter there. Pretty decent shock damage, plus weakness to shock. And the first one I got did NOT have that.

Zero weight, flagged as a quest item, and the wife responds about how she's glad to have Rockshatter back. So I can't get rid of it (I'm on 360), but it's not hurting my encumbrance.

Quest Fix

After falling victim to the well known "When the Vow Breaks" quest bug with Rockshatter, I decided I was going to find a fix, as I didn't want the multiple Rockshatters I had picked up cluttering up my inventory and I wanted to complete the quest.

NOTE: I used the below method after doing the following:

1. Picked up Rockshatter from Bjalfi's corpse.
2. Talked to Maeva about Bjalfi, couldn't get a dialogue option to get rid of Rockshatter.
3. Returned to Bjalfi's corpse and picked up another Rockshatter.
4. Returned to Maeva and still had no dialogue option.

If you did something different, the below method should still work to complete the quest and get your reward, but all of the journal entries might not be created.

1. COPY YOUR SAVEGAME BEFORE ATTEMPTING!
2. Proceed to the Whitmond Farm and go inside
3. Stand near to and facing Maeva, but do not initiate a conversation with her
4. Open your inventory and count the number of Rockshatter weapons you have
5. Close the inventory screen
6. Open the console with the ~ key
7. Enter the following sequence of commands, replacing <RockshatterCount> with the number of Rockshatters you have:
   • player.removeitem 00014EC2 <RockshatterCount>
   • player.removeitem 00014EC3 <RockshatterCount>
   • player.removeitem 00014EC4 <RockshatterCount>
   • player.removeitem 00014EC5 <RockshatterCount>
   • player.removeitem 00014EC6 <RockshatterCount>
   • player.removeitem 00061421 <RockshatterCount>
8. With the console still open, click on Maeva. You should notice at the top of the screen in the center her name will appear with a numerical ID
9. Enter the following command
   • additem 0000CF20 1
10. Click on Maeva again. Notice the name and ID at the top of the screen disappear
11. Enter the following commands in the console
    • player.additem 00061435 1
    • setstage "SQ10" 100
12. Voila! The quest is now completed, you got your reward, any duplicate occurences of the weapon you had are now gone and your journal shows that you completed the quest!

Easier way?

If you have multiple Rockshatter maces in your inventory - remove them except for one using console commands as described above - fixes the quest - dialogue options reappear.

The Best Rockshatter

The best stats for Rockshatter are at lvl.25+. Are the stats locked as soon as you get the mace or can you give it to Maeva and come back later at a higher level to steal it and get the best version? — Unsigned comment by 86.45.192.114 (talk) on 14. October 2008

The stats are finalized after you complete the quest. The only way to get the best version, is to wait until you are level 25 or higher before completing the quest. - Game Lord^{Talk|Contribs} 15:12, 17 October 2008 (EDT)

Rockshatter fell through the floor!

Now how am I going to complete this quest? I tried using tcl to fly through the floor, but I don't see it down there either. 69.137.244.193 05:43, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Use player.additem 00014EC2 1 (or use whatever FormID you want for whichever mace you want to get as detailed on the article, but if you're just going to hand it over anyway it doesn't matter). --142.161.35.60 05:06, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Im trying to do the when the vow breaks quest,i went into the fort and killed everything, Ive run through the fort many times thinking there would eventually be respawn or something. How do i finish this quest if he's not there?

24.59.45.44 23:28, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

It's impossible for him not to be there. If you killed him though, he doesn't respawn so you have effectively no way of completing this quest except reloading a previous save. --SerCenKing ^Talk 13:31, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Leveled item?

Ummm... If Rockshatter's a leveled item, it should be steel or silver at best for L1, but when I did this quest at L1 (one of the first quests I completed out of the gate), Rockshatter was Dwarven, which shouldn't be seen for a few levels. 24.156.216.144 21:32, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Rockshatter is always a dwarven mace in appearance. Nevertheless, its stats are level-dependent -- see Rockshatter for details. --Nephele^Talk 21:42, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Green questmarker points to Bjalfi's corpse, but Rockshatter is not on him

After having moved around his body, I still can't find Rockshatter. The questmarker leads me to his body and the quest hasn't progressed. It couldn't have fallen through the floor, since the questmarker is following the corpse while dragging it. I've read alot about people having one Rockshatter too MANY in their inventory, but this issue I have seems very rare and I still haven't found an answer to it.

I'm having the same problem with a fresh install from STEAM, 2 games in a row. First game w/ no mods installed. I quit and started new character after encountering the bug, but it happened again w/ 2nd character. Bjalfi attacks with a mace, but after he's killed, he has no weapon and there is none on the floor, but quest marker points to his body wherever you drag it. --Bheimbaugh (talk) 03:06, 12 November 2013 (GMT)

WORK AROUND - open PC console, click Bjalfi's body w/ mouse or type 'prid 6156A', then 'additem <Rockshatter-ID>' to add Rockshatter to Bjalfi's body (14EC2 for level 1-4, 14EC3 for lvl 5-9, ... etc). When you close the console, you can then take Rockshatter from the body and the quest will advance normally. --Bheimbaugh (talk) 03:26, 12 November 2013 (GMT)

Killing the wife can get you a bounty

Although the WIKI says that killing Maeva doesn't get you a bounty, it does if you do it when she's working in the field. Digitig 04:16, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
