I'm trying to become a lich in MOE but for some reason it wont let me, I've got the skull, bonemeal, nightshade, mort flesh, bleck soul gem, flawless emerald, parchment and hourglass but nothing appears in the journal. I've restarted my game twice and none of the items I have checked that none of the items are quest related. And yes I do have the book needed as well.

Actually to start the quest two conditions need to be met:
1. player has got the Tome of Unlife (EditorID = MS02TomeofUnlife, FormID = 00003AA3)
2. "getstage zPOSQuestLichcraft" should return less than 20

Items are needed later.

I have the Tome of Unlife and I have the part of the quest where it tells you how to become a lich in my journal (thats the second part)
