I am incredibly pained to say, but you are rather screwed. unless you go back to a much earlier save, due to you finishing the Vampire side of Dawnguard, you cannot complete the other half. Hopefully this helps, but you can only do one side or the other, I feel slightly bad telling you this because you put so much extra effort in.

Quest Shenanigans, Chapter 7: Team Jacob, Still Under Powered Miscellaneous: Miscellaneous, Chapter 1: "Easy" Achievements Miscellaneous, Chapter 2: "Medium" Achievements Miscellaneous, Chapter 3: "Hard" Achievements Total Gamerscore: 65/1250 Total Trophies: 4/60 (50) Starting out: A Noob's Life Just as you thought things couldn't get any better for you, you start Skyrim off on the chopping block for something you'll never know you did. However, just as you thought your "average" day couldn't get any worse, a dragon drops in to visit. He crashes the party, yet saves your life by knocking the executioner out of the way. Rolof helps you to your feet and tells you to run away. After running and running and more killing, you'll get to a stealth part, where Rolof gives you a bow and arrows. Now when you killed the torturer mage in the prison/dungeon hopefully you grabbed his Steel Dagger as it's most effective. When reaching the sneak area, and Rolof gives you the bow, you need to situate him into a corner, with his back facing you. Here is where you get your wonderful first set of achievements. You'll earn 3 new achievements, Apprentice, Adept and Skill Master, for a whopping 55 total Gamerscore, or 3 trophies. to get the Skill Master this early, you need to hit Rolof with sneak hits for roughly 45 minutes (average on my 3 level 81 runs) to hit 100. To get the other two, just simply level up and switch between back and forth between health and stamina for the time being. You won't level up for quite a while (try not to until later) and you'll be around 16-18 after 100 Sneak. Follow the rest of the quest and get out of the Helgen cave system and earn your next achievement "Unbound". You now have 65 Gamerscore, or 4 Trophies and you just started. Thus begins the next Chapter, which takes a bit of dedication and skill. Making a speed run for a much more advanced player. Total Gamerscore: 75/1250 Total Trophies: 5/60 (50) Dedication, Chapter 1: The New Frontier Right after finishing Unbound head directly for that first Standing stone and train for the Warrior Stone and earn Blessed for 10G and run to Riverwood. You won't be spending very long here and I'm going to give you all a treat, a summary of my Oghma Infinium guide. Yes, that is right everybody, you are getting one of the most time consuming things out of the way first, you are going to hit 81 before you start the main quest, or the side Guild quests. You'll be heading up to Septimus Sigmus's Outpost in the very northern tip of Skyrim, past the College of Winterhold. NOTE: You need to make sure that on the way there you discover Alftand and if you want, the College of Winterhold (for later). This is because Alftand is set as your quest marker for the quest you need to hit 81. This quest is none other than "Discerning the Transmundane". You need to be at least level 15 to start the rest of this quest, but upon meeting Septimus, he'll ask you to retrieve an Elder Scroll. Try to get as many locations as you can, just don't go way out of your way, as you'll have plenty of time later to get Explorer. Once your journey brings you to his outpost, the "real fun" begins and now starts a somewhat frustrating endeavor. (No new achievements earned here) Total Gamerscore: 75/1250 Total Trophies: 5/60 (50) Dedication, Chapter 2: Gotta Catch 'em All! You've now accepted the quest and you are off to Alftand which you should fast travel to for effort of saving time. You'll run and hopefully find the muffle spell like I found on my speed run, which was incredibly lucky, however, you may not be as lucky as I am. Try to pick as many locks as possible and even save before you attempt if you're running low so you can try again. Your goal is to get a decent enough weapon to kill the higher leveled enemies (normally if you can kill as single falmer, take the weapon and you should be good.) And reach the end and snipe the Dwarven Centurion with your bow until he falls. Loot both of them and head to through the gate, you'll see two people fighting, let them fight, and clear the leftovers, though be aware that the Spellsword/Battle-mage uses decently high spells and can kill you pretty easily. Use the things Septimus gave you and journey into Blackreach. (NOTE: there are 3 Dwarven Centurions on the map of Blackreach, one in front of you and two spread around the map. One is on a dock around the Tower of Mzark (Your objective) and the other is under a bridge around a giant.) You can do what is in the parentheses, or quickly power through to the Tower and do the quick puzzle to get the scroll, HOWEVER, do not forget to take Ruined Lexicon from the holding platform next to the mechanism's buttons. Head top-side and return to Septimus. Total Gamerscore: 85/1250 Total Trophies: 6/60 (50) Dedication, Chapter 3: Gotta Catch 'em All! Part II After doing the challenge of Alftand and return to Septimus, he gives you (surprise, right?) another mundane and frustrating task. You must find the blood of all the Mer races (a.k.a Elves) and extract their fallen and fresh blood. (NOTE: to start this part, you MUST be level 15+ or he'll tell you he'll tell you when he need your assistance and the quest glitches) This is a good time to quickly earn 8,000 gold and head by carriage to Markarth. The reason you are heading there, is upon clearing a little bit of forsworn and retrieving a shield for the Jarl, you can now buy property and quickly get a house. I also chose this one, because it is a house you can buy for free by a glitch that'll be mentioned later. For now, after doing these and gaining some new locations, head out to Whiterun via carriage and enter the main gate. you'll want to make an immediate right and then another into a tiny room with a lone barrel in it. Jump on the barrel and step to the outside (right) edge of the barrel and jump. if you complete a full jump, that means you are "outside the barrier" and then jump forward onto the fortification ledge. You have now hopefully gotten out of Whiterun, now run along the wall to your left and head for the Skyforge. I can't 100% explain the invisible barrier you'll pass, just that it is close to the wall on the rubble pile's right side. climb up it and glitch under Whiterun to find a chest, Eurland Grey-mane's inventory chest as a matter of fact. Which upon reset, or your first time in the city, will ALWAYS carry 1,000 gold at least on average. After looting the chest, head back into the map (via fast travel or walking towards the stairs then heading back up) and talk to him for the first time and see what he has. his inventory will reset and you do it again. Since he is flagged as essential, you cannot reset his inventory via the "Save-Kill-Load" method, and you must wait 48 in-game hours and talk again for it to reset. Do this until you have your 8,000 gold and return to Markarth to do your next glitch. (NOTE: For xbox players, if you press your guide right after setting a wait cycle for 24 hours, you'll increase your wait speed astronomically making the wait significantly less, this is HIGHLY advised) Talk to the steward and tell him you'll buy the house for 8,000 gold. right after he starts the dialogue saying how you bought it, immediately back out of the conversation and turn around and activate the chest behind you, and deposit all of your gold. Wait for him to finish all of his dialogue and retrieve your money. Rinse and repeat to buy everything Vlindrel Hall has to offer then be on your way. You'll pick up the Citizen Achievement/Trophy and can return to working on the "Discerning the Transmundane" quest. Total Gamerscore: 160/1250 Total Trophies: 9/60 (50) Dedication, Chapter 4: Gotta Catch 'em All! Part III This part is rather short because with the help of a previously made guide by myself revolving around the entire quest, here is generally how to do the glitch, and it is HIGHLY recommended to save after every branch of skills are completed. http://eldersouls.co...-glitchexploit/ This is the link to my guide, and hopefully you'll be able to find bloods faster, as some are harder than others, such as Altmer (a.k.a High Elves) If you are having trouble finding one, you'll have to risk a -1,000 gold dent in your pocket to kill one of the High Elves populating Markarth's very own Understone Keep. Once you finally and hopefully quickly find all the Mer bloods, return to Septimus and watch him inject it, beholding the "falsimily" as he put it, open the giant and deep Dwarven box. you'll finish the quest and become Hermaeus Mora's daedric champion and earn an honest 10G for Daedric Influence. Now quickly return to Vlindrel Hall and get all your skills to 100 and level to 81, earning Expert and Master for a total of 75G, almost doubling your total in about a half hour. Your perks should be very simple, such as this build I created, however there are a few discrepancies with what perks should be put in and for the Whiterun glitch, you may want to find something to replace so you can get +1,500 Gold added to his chest via the Speech perks (+500 for investing and another +1,000 for the last perk) but try it like this anyways, I'm currently at almost 90,000 gold after a 9 days. (Build thread link: http://eldersouls.co...speedrun-build/ ) Total Gamerscore: 350/1250 Total Trophies: 18/60 (50) Quest Shenanigans, Chapter 1: Dragon?, This isn't the dragon you're looking for... Alright, fantastic, if you've made it this far, you have your first Daedric quest under your belt and you can now start the mass and fast ownage of the somewhat short Main Quest line. Time to put on your Skyrim A-Game and go for a Main-Quest single sitting beat for a large Achievement/Trophy boost. Burn quickly through the short dungeon of Bleak Falls Barrow and earn the achievement for the quest. Continue to do the Main-Quest line as fast as you can, taking a real life eating break or whatever whenever you need to (no sense in dying) and keep going. Congratulations for completing the Main-Questline, there aren't really any shortcuts to it, aside for maybe knowing a certain part that makes the quest shorter, etc. Now you'll want to use that College of Winterhold marker you found earlier, as that is your next quest-line. I Forgot to add, but upon completing "Bleak Falls Barrow", you'll absorb your first dragon soul, no matter what, thus getting the Dragon Soul achievement. Total Gamerscore: 400/1250 Total Trophies: 21/60 (50) Quest Shenanigans, Chapter 2: Staves, and more reasons to hate Altmer Alright, head to your favorite hold, Winterhold and walk up to the "Gatekeeper" Foralda and talk to her about joining. Normally you'd have to do the beginning task, however because you have maxed speech, you can persuade her and she'll do it for you. Upon entering, you unlock the "gatekeeper' achievement for 10G, now talk to the mage giving the tour, then head straight into the Hall of Elements to learn your Ward lesson with Tolfdir and his other apprentices. After finishing that, he'll tell you to meet him at Saarthal and do that. For this Quest set, I don't think there are any shortcuts, so just continue through the questline as fast as you feel comfortable, and earn your next set of quest achievements and a shiny new staff, the Staff of Magnus. Total Gamerscore: 450/1250 Total Trophies: 24/60 (50) Quest Shenanigans, Chapter 3: Jealousy, and Anger Don't Mix Well Oh the Dark Brotherhood, possibly one of the most interesting questlines to watch unfold and you'll see a lot of jealousy and anger play into how things work as a paid assassin. Like most of the other Guild Questlines, there are really no shortcuts for this aside for fast traveling, and by now, if you have been walking to your objectives, or use carriages, you should be close to "Explorer" or have it already. I'll post it however at the end in the Misc Chapter. Most of the Dark Brotherhood quests are very straight-forward, but on the first quest, you are best off killing the Khajit. Total Gamerscore: 540/1250 Total Trophies: 28/60 (50) Quest Shenanigans, Chapter 4: WIth a Golden Touch, 100,000 isn't that hard Larceny is your biggest friend in this speed run, however you'll get the last Thieves Guild achievement later. This is because of what is required of it. There are 7-8 things you NEED to get while doing this questine to make extra money. These are the optional "Larceny target" objectives that are hidden to you until picking them up. These items are the Queen Bee Statue, the HonningBrew Decanter, the East Empire Map, the Model Ship, the Dwemer Puzzle Box, the Bust of the Grey Fox and the Left Eye of the Falmer. The Queen Bee Statue is in the master bedroom at the first job. the Decanter is in an expert locked room just past the previous owner's bedroom. The empire map is found in the wardens room on the top of a ledge to the left inside the storage area/docking bay. The model ship is in the Sanctum in an offset room, to find it, you just need to look around a little, however it'll be obvious when you find it, just watch out for traps as it's surrounded by oil. The Puzzle box is found on a small holder inside the second area of the Dwarven Museum. The Bust of the Grey Fox is found on the table to the left of Mercer's plans inside his house. and Finally the Eyes of the Falmer are found very easily as you loot them off of Mercer's body. These quests are harder than the Dark Brotherhood and the College, but are worth it, and by now you should definitely have 100 locations found, along with at least 13 standing stones found. (Both explorer and Standing Stones are added here) Total Gamerscore: 680/1250 Total Trophies: 34/60 (50) Quest Shenanigans, Chapter 5: Twilight, the Skyrim Love Story Welcome to Dawnguard. Where the apparent threat of Vampires are ever present and a threat to deal with. At the start of Dawnguard, no matter what you decide, on the start you are looking for the cause of a Vigilant camp being destroyed. What you find is something much much more... unique. You find a dormant vampire clutching onto an Elder scroll... but you ask, wasn't there only one? Not anymore there isn't, and there is quite a story behind them all. Here is where you meet Serana and get the achievement "Awakening". Throughout your time on the Vampire side, and using it as much as you can, you'll hopefully hit Mastery on it before completely finishing Dawnguard. There are several things that come from the experiences, but none cooler than visiting the Soul Cairn. The Soul Cairn is where souls go when they are soul trapped. By the time you leave, you'll learn a new shout, and get the achievement "Beyond Death". Finally, and there is a large spoiler here, but to get the last achievement "Kindred Judgement" You must kill the lord of the Vampires, Lord Harkon. That is the good side, however you can side with him and kill Serana instead as a sacrifice. You can also quickly get the Soul Tear achievement as well, becasue all you need to do is use the Soul Cairn dragon shout. You'll also be able to get the Auriel's Bow achievement by shooting a Bloodcursed Elven arrow into the sun during the day. Total Gamerscore: 730/1250 Total Trophies: 37/60 (50) Quest Shenanigans, Chapter 6: For Skyrim!!! This is the Civil war, Tullius versus Stormcloak. So many options, so little difference. Choose whichever you want, all you need to do is just help the other in conquering most of Skyrim. These are incredibly straight-forward and fast to complete, especially with your weapons. There isn't much to put here, because these are that straight-forward, and are no shortcuts aside for fast-traveling. Total Gamerscore: 800/1250 Total Trophies: 41/60 (50) Quest Shenanigans, Chapter 7: Team Jacob, Still Under Powered The final questline, saved to get the Werewolf Mastery achievement. Go through this questline, and finish it, but upon finishing it, if you used your werewolf at all, you'll have a head start. What you do, is you save wherever you are, then turn werewolf and kill EVERYTHING, eat EVERYTHING, until you hit mastery, because you probably won't get it any other way. It takes longer than Vampire Lord to hit 11, and the only way you gain experience for it is to eat the hearts of your fallen foes. Conveniently eating hearts are the only way to regain health as well. I wish you luck in getting the werewolf Mastery, as it is, in my opinion, much harder to master. Total Gamerscore: 910/1250 Total Trophies: 48/60 (50) Miscellaneous, Chapter 1: "Easy" Achievements Easy achievements that you could have gotten either during a questline, or very quickly in your spare time. These achievements, in order of image appearance are: Hard Worker, Snake Tongue, Wanted, Married, Artificer, Legendary, and A New You. all of these are fairly simple and have simple objectives, such as getting married or doing a couple common things like chopping wood or making a meal. Legendary is in this list, because you are level 81 and you are much more likely to come across a Legendary dragon, over some lower tier dragon. Total Gamerscore: 1030/1250 Total Trophies: 53/60 (50) Miscellaneous, Chapter 2: "Medium" Achievements Medium achievements that take a little bit of time, or aren't just acquirable by doing a questline or by just taking a few moments of "off-time" These achievements, in order of appearance by image are: Sideways, Hero of the People, Master Criminal, Delver, and Reader. These achievements are all here, because they require several different objectives, or require a little bit of time to move around all of them. Total Gamerscore: 1250/1250 Total Trophies: 60/60 (50) Miscellaneous, Chapter 3: "Hard" Achievements Hard achievements that can take quite a deal of time to complete, and have rather challenging objectives to them. If you don't have the Thief achievement yet, use the "One with the Shadows" achievements and the easiest for the achievement, is to do numbers jobs, however if you don't have Thief, then go for a "Fishing" Job. For the Daedric Artifacts Achievement, I am working on a guide, and is currently the only unfinished part of my Speedrun guide. The achievements, in order of image shown are: One with the Shadows, Thief, Golden Touch, Oblivion Walker, Dragon Hunter, Th'um Master, and Lost to the Ages. Daedric Artifact Guide: http://eldersouls.co...h-walkthroughs/ I hope you enjoy this guide, It isn't extremely detailed, however most of the Questlines don't have many shortcuts, So it's all about just doing what you can. Hopefully this helps people out, and If I missed anything, Please comment and let me know so I, or Traaginen, or Blexun can fix it.

Do you not have any back-up saves?

Crossbow's damage is alright, though much slower than Bows and such, along with longer reload speed. But they look cool and can be upgraded. However one unbeatable thing of the Vampire Lord, and how much of a force you are to be reckoned with, is that in higher Vampire Lord levels you can conjure fairly strong Gargoyles with terrorize and destroy as tanks while you sit and AOE rampage anything with your Life Drain. Even on higher difficulty settings the Vampire Lord excels by having a Health and Magicka boost, that can be increased further with the first perk. Vampire Lord is definitely by experience the best way to go, and will be the first of the two achievements dealt with on my speed run guide.

UPDATE POST 2: Tested again by myself, this glitch/exploit should still be usable as of patch 1.7 You NOT need to unpatch your xbox or mess with anything on your PS3, just do it the same same way as usual.

Well, since you were doing the auto-vendor inventory reset glitch, you sadly can not get your mask back. I take it you now know what it gives you, but until you make a new character, or go to a save where you had the mask, you are SoL. I wish there was a fix, but there isn't.

Glad the Elder Souls team could help you out

I.. could actually write one as I'm currently doing it xD But i will later when i have the chance too

Thank you very much, I've known these for quite a while and figure they could help somebody. just be careful with the Alchemy glitch, because it can have side effects, like messing with your Smithing and alchemy. it may glitch it so you can temper anymore, and need a very modified smithing potion to fix and it inly lasts 30 seconds before returning.

I feel that the werewolf is under powered and relatively crappy.you can't go in and out of form, causing you to have to wait to change back, also perk wise, the totems aren't explained and there seems to be a lot of flaws.

Some-what common glitches in Skyrim Getting out of Whiterun:1. The original way to get out of whiterun was to jump on the barrel to the right of the entrance to Whiterun, and if you stood on the right side of the barrel, you were just inside the barrier and could jump onto the fortification and glitch out of Whiterun and run under the Skyforge and claim Eurland's loot 2. One of the houses in Whiterun is possible to climb on top of and a well placed jump from the very top, you can jump on top of the gate area between the two districts and you can fall through the district wall. by carefully walking under the map and navigating well, you can make it out of the map again and make it to Eurland's Chest. 3. The newest and apparent most current way to do this glitch, It requires a little more start-up to do and requires Whirlwind Sprint one and two. there is a little rock platform next to Eurland's Skyforge and use Whirlwind Sprint one to make it on top of Jorrvaskar. upon getting onto the very top arch of the mead hall, and use Whirlwind Sprint two to boost out of the map. WARNING: if you misplace your Whirlwind, you can die so Saving is a good idea. this is the fastest, and to me the most efficient. Alchemy Glitch:Oddly enough, that when having a full set of Fortify Alchemy armor, you can make a Fortify Restoration potion and for whatever reason, upon chugging this potion and un-equipping and re-equipping your armor, it'll keep the effect boost from the Restoration potion plus what the armor has. if you continue to do this glitch, you can possibly hit over 2,000,000% all the way up to 2,000,000% or even numbers higher than the byte max of 2.147 Billion percent (which results in showing up as a negative) This can then be used to make a fortify potion of anything, such as enchanting etc. Smithing Glitch:This glitch goes along with the alchemy glitch, and after using a modified smithing potion, or chugging a fortify restoration potion, you can make a full set of Smithing armor that would be around several thousand percent per piece. Leveling glitch (Oghma Infinum):Just like the Guide I posted, this is the fastest "non power-leveling" way to hit 81 in Skyrim, and can take anywhere of 5-40 in-game hours to complete (depending on variable, such as difficulty of finding bloods, or buying a house [if you don't want to do bleak falls barrow to get Breezehome]) Free Houses:This glitch works with speed, if you are good enough, and there is a container close enough, you can deposit your money just after exiting the dialogue and depositing your gold. you'll have the key to the house added after the subtitles cease (it is very advised to have them to know your time left) you can do this also when buying the decorations as well. Technically since there is a container in the area, you can actually buy Proudspire Manor for absolutely nothing. Free Spellcasting:1. The original and "legit" way is to enchant them with 25% on all of them. with a full set, you'll be at free cost for whichever school you choose. 2. By using the alchemy glitch, instead of going by the cost of the school, you can enchant a helmet with +Fortify Magicka, and +Fortify Magicka Regeneration. This basically works the same, just with all 5 schools of Magic, just you'll be around a +1,000,000 Magicka and Magicka Regeneration. Markarth Bookshelf:Just found out by myself while doing the Oghman Infinium glitch in Vlindrel Hall. For whatever reason, all three bookshelves in there glitch up every time you do the glitch. So far the highest I've ever hit was 80 books on one shelf. It won't show every single book, just as much would normally fit on it, just the container is bigger. Note: The first five glitches make doing speed runs very very easy, and are beneficial. If you are attempting a speed run, here are a few glitches to really help yourself up. -By Unknown ProbLem

When did you do this, and what is the probability? because I did it, and brutally murdered Lydia (as a test) and got nothing but a letter of Will.

if you have them, try reverting to a save that is roughly just before the level up and turn off all your mods. If it doesn't work then it could possibly be something wrong with your game.. if that's the case then i have no idea what to do

So I'm curious, because I've been here a little while and was wondering what the diversity of the Skyrim folk were. If you play Xbox Live, PSN or are on skype or something. Post what you use and hopefully we could be as awesome as the TRR Runescape side :DI'll start then. I play Xbox live and am currently doing a speed run of all 60 achievements as well.I also use Skype from my iTouch if you want to add me or whichever.Skype: search Samuel Marsh, has a hand-drawn pictureXbox Live Main Account: Unknow ProbLeMXbox Live SpeedRunner: SkyrimNightClub

As far as I know, all of the Divine necklaces aren't "unique" quest items. Also, just curious, because I have no Idea, how many people here play xbox, and have live?

that is ridiculous,, although not going to lie, Werewolves blow over Vampire Lord

not that I know of, but you can always check the wikipedia

the weird part of ES? just like Youtube... where did i just step, lol
