Ok, I'm at the part whereby my character has to get blood from several races in order to progress further with this quest. Now I've played this several time before and it always takes ages to complete, I'm talking about a good 2 - 3 levels before this stage of the quest is done. Why this is I don't know, because for some stupid reason the wood elf blood is the most time consuming one to find.

I've read the wikis both official and unofficial and its just not working in my game. If you look at my signature, I'm on PC with NO mods & I"m NOT interested in any mod solutions to this, so please don't suggest any thanks.

Apart from what the wikis preach, where else or how can I get wood elf blood? not really interested in console commands, too easy to do imo.

I know this game overall is unfinished or not refined in some parts and I thinks this part is especially so on PC.

Thanks for any tips or advice in advance..

I know Bandit Archers can be Wood Elves, so my suggestion is go raid a few caves or Bandit camps

There's a dead (or live) NPC of each of the varieties of "elf" you need in Alftand.

I would always go to some bandit camps. There's usually a few.

It's pretty random with bandit lairs, although on my current playthrough my character just killed a Bosmer thief at that unmarked camp behind Dragonsreach.

You're guaranteed to find a Bosmer in Liar's Retreat, in the Reach. There's also the corpse of a Bosmer at an unmarked shrine just above Karthwasten.

I usually always find a woodelf in Embershard mine.

Ullothwen and Michi are both unavailable.
