Skyrim talk:College of Winterhold (faction)

Still missing quests

There are still a lot of quest for individual npc missing including repeatable quests. Just saying

Members

What are the names of the members of the college? They should be added. 68.109.194.141 09:55 21 November 2011

There is a former member missing from the list named Othorn who stole books from the Arcanaeum. I don't know how to edit the list so I thought I'd post it here. 71.171.112.74 05:56, 5 September 2013 (GMT)

Anyone having trouble joining it?

So the lady at the front says "you can't get past the gate, You must pass a test" Mine was set to Mage light, I have done it over and over, and everytime i click "Fine, I'll take your test." It's grayed out, and then she says okay, then it goes to the next context choice, "I'll do it another time" So I can't do it no matter what. Has anyone else experienced this/ have a solution?

you say ill take he test the you cast it on the eye symbol — Unsigned comment by 141.0.9.179 (talk) at 16:56 on 27 November 2011

After you say that you will take the test, You MUST cast it upon the rune on the floor. — Unsigned comment by 64.25.221.233 (talk) at 16:01 on 14 December 2011

rouge wizard

death of a follower

When I had a fellow mage as a follower and she died in combat (even though I wasn't the one who killed her), I received some kind of a new quest called "Expelled from the college" or something like that. I didn't pay much attention to it really, because I wanted her alive so I loaded from a saved game. But there is no mention of this here on this page. Should there be?— Unsigned comment by 174.21.129.4 (talk) at 21:51 on 31 December 2011 (UTC)

The name is Rejoining the College, Ill add it to the page. --Alfwyn 21:53, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Aftershock ?

Does the Aftershock quest really belongs in the Main Quest section/listing? Krag 22:40, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

I just finished The Eye of Magnus and the next quest from Tolfdir was Tolfdir the Absent-Minded (radiant), so I don't think that Aftershock is a Main Quest. --84.176.216.29 19:47, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Colette should be Mage/Wiz

Why is Colette Marence listed as "Scholars" and not "Mages and Wizards"? Clearly she is their Restoration expert and trainer as much as, say, Tolfdir is their main Alteration guy. I've even seen her doing a long-lasting Restoration spell in her room! — Unsigned comment by 94.237.127.179 (talk) at 22:27 on 11 January 2012

You're right, I'll fix that. – Robin Hood↝talk 19:59, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Not a safe storage area

While it appears that the wardrobes are safe to store items, the barrels in your room are not. Even after using the setownership console command, the items inside the barrels reset. Not sure where this should be added to the page but it as the wording is currently the page makes the room sound safe for long-term storage.

Can someone confirm this? I've gotten mixed messages from other sites on the same subject. I just made a new character and I don't feel like buying a house as of yet, but I do have things I want to store for the time being. If someone does confirm, can you also specify what containers are safe and which ones aren't? Bushwhacker 05:36, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Actually I found a command console command(repetitive, huh?) that clarified this. Pressing ~ then clicking the container then typing "IsOwner" and pressing enter prompts a response that lets you know whether you own it or not. The starting room you're given in the College has NO safe storage. Bushwhacker 02:15, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Ownership is not what determines whether or not a container is safe storage -- it's based on whether or not the container respawns. And many of the containers in the College of Winterhold are non-respawning. --Nephele^Talk 02:23, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Rogue Wizard

In the Optional Quests section, under "Radiant quests from Tolfdir", should Rogue Wizard be included? It doesn't appear to be an implemented part of the game. --Velyanthe 02:03, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

Put it with the other broken quests just under that section. The Silencer 02:06, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

Aha, silly me, I missed that sentence. Thanks. --Velyanthe 02:07, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

Lore

"Over the years, the cliff has fallen into the sea, taking nearly all of the original city with it."

"Over the years..." makes it sound as though Winterhold eroded gradually. It was called The Great Collapse (a disaster in which most of the city collapsed into the sea) and it happened eight years prior to the events of the game. Wasn't some long, drawn-out thing.174.0.116.189 07:20, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

As far as I remember the great collapse happened over the course of one week so I think you are right. RIM 09:48, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Research Thief?

What are the stages to activate it threw the console command? and should there be a part on this in the same area the Rogue Wizard is? — Unsigned comment by Sledhockeyjock (talk • contribs) at 15:06 on 2 July 2012

First Lessons

Tolfdir won't fire the attack at my ward, he just acts as though the mission is finished but it still says I need to listen to Tolfdir — Unsigned comment by 113.29.215.205 (talk) at 03:28 on 29 December 2012

This is noted with possible fixes here. Silence is Golden^{Break the Silence} 13:50, 13 January 2013 (GMT)

legendery

shoud be added somewere that if a skill is turned legendery before doing it's quest you will neeed to level it up back to 90 before the quest is availible again — Unsigned comment by 217.132.231.153 (talk) at 15:41 on 25 May 2013

That seems kinda obvious. The quest has a prerequisite of having the skill be 90 (or 100 for some), if the skill is 15 it's not 90. --Morrolan (talk) 21:38, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

Confusion between MGR11 and MGR12?

Under the section "Optional Quests > Repeatable Quests > Given by Sergius Turrianus", there is listed the quest "Filling Soul Gems" (QuestID MGR12), rightly pointing to the Unfinished Quests page. I believe this entry on the page should actually be "Restocking Soul Gems" (QuestID MGR11) and pointing to the appropriate quest page for that instead. Reason being, this is the quest that was left in the game and otherwise does not appear on the "College of Winterhold (faction)" page. Of course the MGR12 quest could still be listed, but in the Notes section instead as the quest wasn't left in the game. Can anyone confirm and/or correct this? — Unsigned comment by 82.25.228.169 (talk) at 12:57 on 18 February 2017

Thank you for noticing, nobody else did for almost a year. The quests have been switched and Filling Soul Gems added as the fourth unfinished to the note at the bottom. Silence is Golden^{Break the Silence} 17:18, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

Wuunferth as a member

In Wuunferth's dialogue it's seen he's a member of the College. I'd guess he could go under a new section for non-former members operating elsewhere (probably with a less wordy title though, lmao), but I'm not good enough with formatting and all that to make it happen.
