My memory is fuzy as I haven't got this quest in a long time. I believe you are supposed to "Use" the bell you are given when you see the tiger. He should then "follow you" (Dissapear), and then you can get back to the noble to whom it belong to. NPCs and monsters cannot follow you in real-time, instead you see their face in the left part of the screen. With the tiger, I don't remember seeing its face there.




Always check your condition when traveling through a dungeon. It's the same key as checking what time it is, which province you visit and what is your standing in that province's law.

And, yes, diseases messages always appear a few hours after you caught it. It's not a bug.

I had that a couple days ago where I got the plague from a mummy, I did not notice I was sick until I tried to fast travel and it told me I might not survive

Get to a temple right away and you will be fine

I've got a question regarding the Main Quest, since this is the first time I've been actually doing the MQ.

Thanks

I'm in a dungeon, looking for a rare book. So I'm wondering - how do single items like a book manifest themselves in a DF dungeon? Are they in loot you find on the floor? Are they on a thief or nightblade you kill? Can they be in a bookshelf (found a room with bookshelves, but couldn't activate them)? Or just lying on the floor somewhere?

@Tesfanner :
(MAIN QUEST INFORMATION AHEAD!)


Hope it helps.



The book will look like its icon in your inventory. Search for a beige coloured book lying on the floor somewhere in the dungeon.

Ok, thanks.

Once I had to find some kind of spell scroll in a dungeon, I explored for over an hour, got discouraged, and then found it on a torture table on my way out....

Thanks, it did help In fact, I've been receiving letters lately from nobles, they're getting recommendations from others to contact me

Tip: Never leave an anchor at the entrance of a dungeon... leave it right in front of the person who gave you the quest

Haha, wow. You know, that never even occurred to me and I'm kind of a longtime player. I'm never really pressed for time to complete quests though, so there you go.

Yeah, I've looked all around (I think) three or four times without finding that darn book. Re-checked most of the rooms, retraced my steps a thousand times, checked all the torture-tables - just as my last dungeon, I feel I have walked through the same hallways and same rooms for hours without finding that darn quest item. Only thing i haven't checked is an underwater passage and where it leads to because I can't survive underwater long enough to swim to the other "exit".

Guess I'm looking at another failed quest.

You can always "re-roll" a dungeon by stepping out and going back in - everything respawns, including the quest objects which are whisked off to a random quest location within the dungeon. This is especially useful for those fighter's guild quests where you hear the cry of the offending werewolf/giant/lich, but it disappears from existence seconds after to a place where even the bracket keys cannot help you. It's annoying, I know.

Random, you say? Perhaps I can keep re-entering the dungeon until it's in the very first room.

I think my next DF-character will be a thief so I don't have to worry too much about those darn dungeons.

Sometimes the items are kind of unique looking and you don't always know what you're trying to get. For one mission I was supposed to rescue someone who was getting ransomed, and all I found was her finger.

Coven on the Bluff is a witches coven, if memory serves me. The covens are shown as black icons I'm pretty sure.

I don't get why people are still paying ?20 ($30) for just the CD and manual on ebay - word hasn't totally gone out yet, obviously!

Or maybe they want the awesome box cover

Ok, I've created a thief character. Female Khajiit with standard Thief class. (I did great in Privateer's Hold with the Ebony Dagger - didn't die once and ended up with over 6000 gold pieces when all loot was sold - and even a level increase. ) So I want to join the Thieves Guild. Do any of you guys have tips on how to steal and pickpocket successfully in Daggerfall? :ph34r:

Easy way to join the guild: Go to a dungeon (even Privateer's Hold works), switch to steal mode, spam the space bar on every enemy you see until you get some gold a few times. Repeat throughout the whole dungeon, just to make sure (and to train your pickpocket skill).

Then you should get a note delivered to you a few days later on how to join!

I actually did that before I read your reply. Didn't know all them Giant Spiders were carrying that much gold. My problem now is that I have stolen the casual dress I am supposed to steal and I have found a note within with just a name and the name of a town. I've travelled there, but I can't ask around as the name doesn't come up as a topic. uesp.net says he should be at a tavern, but I've visited every tavern in this town without finding him. What should I do?

It's not a tavern, you have to go to a residence in the town. Maybe you went to the wrong town, some towns have similar names so make sure you type it in exactly as it's written.

When you ask for a residence, you have to ask about places>general.

Don't plant anchors inside of buildings that can be locked against you, bugginess can result. Set it outside the door of the building.

The note says Cathcastle and that is what I have typed in when travelling. I double-checked and ended up in the same place. I knew that when I ask for quest-related NPCs and residences, I have to go to General under Where is..., but my General is blank.

Quest related NPCs are not under location>general, they are under where is>people. I know it's a long shot but did you try there?
