Skyrim talk:Family Heirloom

Radiant

This quest changes item and location for each player. Lost Echo Cave and a Steel Greatsword was my quest. — Unsigned comment by 82.42.249.211 (talk) at 19:51 on 16 November 2011

Game-Freezing Bug

I'm supposed to go to Gallows Rock, cleared it once before and now I can't get in, every time I try my Xbox freezes up. The rest of the game is fine, it's just that one door, I can't count how many times I tried, anyone else have this problem or a solution? — Unsigned comment by 66.30.88.50 (talk) on January 7, 2012 21:20

I was sent to Sleeping Tree Camp (PS3) to obtain an Iron Greatsword for the "Family Heirloom" quest. Went there before and killed the Giants on a bounty for Jarl Balgruuf but now the game won't let me enter the cave and complete the quest. Locks up every time during the load screen. This keeps happening every time I try to enter no matter how many times I try. Is this because I've been to this place and killed the enemies there before? This game is frustrating! — Unsigned comment by 99.45.97.209 (talk) at 15:37 on 27 January 2012

Missing Weapon

Sometimes the weapon you're sent to retrieve doesn't spawn. The quest marker also moves to a random location. This bug has occured to me, and it's documented at http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Family_Heirloom too. — Unsigned comment by 92.239.42.17 (talk) at 15:34 on 26 October 2012‎

I'll add the bug to the article with the appropriate vn parameter, thanks for the info. — ABCface^◥ 04:42, 20 November 2012 (GMT)

Quest got confused after enhancing and selling the heirloom

My Family Heirloom quest was to travel to Deepwood Redoubt to retrieve a Long Bow for Skjor. I went there, killed and looted a bunch of Foresworn, and removed the Long Bow from the marked chest at which point I got the drumroll and an alert to return to Skjor. But now I had two Long Bows. I could drop one but would get a warning, roughly "Cannot remove Quest items", if I dropped the other. The two looked identical.

All this is fine. I returned to Whiterun and went to the smith to craft enhanced versions of all my weapons, including the two Long Bows. That worked. But then I was able to sell both to Arivan Arivaderci (sp?). I realized my mistake and bought both back.

Another problem with this is Skjor died in the Silver Hand quest before I completed this.

I'm not sure whether my mistake was enhancing the quest item, or selling it, or both. -- Skierpage (talk) 02:49, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

How to fix/complete if Skjor has died

I finally got around to the Family Heirloom quest, which was to Retrieve the Long Bow from Deepwood Redoubt. I did so, with some glitches (see other discussion topic), and so the quest is now at Return to Skjor. But by then I had completed the Silver Hand, so Skjor is dead. I can't view the quest marker on the map. I've tried setstage CR06 10... 20, and 200, reviving Skjor, and nothing lets me complete or remove the quest. I'm on Steam, I have the USLEEP ultimate Legendary Edition patch installed and no other mods. Thanks for any tips! -- Skierpage (talk) 21:51, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
