Unofficial Quests, made-up quests that enhance our gaming Options

[Lady Saga]

I'm gonna share one that probably a lot of you already know, but it's something I just realized during the massive gaming marathon I'm on.

Supply the locals with better weapons & armor

I always wondered how people 'spam' smithing and get really good at it. I've tried with Gunter, Son of Talos and Lord Haaf-Mersey. The problem always comes down to costs. Smithing supplies can easily destroy the budget if one wants to get good at it, and it takes forever to get from Steel to Dwarven. After months, LHM still hasn't been able to move on to Orcish. I am getting impatient. I wanna see him in the best there is to have, and so does he.

My crusader did the Grimsever quest tonight which is in Mzinchleft (however you spell it). Dwarven ruins, basically. And I realized there's TONS of material in here to use for smithing, and it's completely free to loot. I suppose in the case of iron and other metals, we can just mine the heck out of some ore shafts, but I haven't had a character who's a miner, yet.

Some of you are probably like "duh!" but I take my games at a slow pace. I'm gonna be with Skyrim for years I am sure. Why rush it?

So my crusader's first unofficial quest: supply the local village/town with superior armors and weapons. As he takes dozens of cogs, levers, and other dwarven materials to melt, he's going to bring it all back to Falkreath on his poor horse, melt it down, and then sell some of it to the town, and donate the rest (he'll just leave some dwarven things in the Jarl's court or guard barracks, perhaps.

Anybody else got some unofficial quests they'd like to share?

Le Chevalier D'Eon is a spy sent from Wayrest. Among other things her mission is to procure dwarven artifacts and arms to send back home. She also supplements that with magic items that she comes across. I facilitated this by placing said loot into respawning containers in all the major cities. I RP'ed that those were dead drops, and that other spies would be along to take all the stuff back to High Rock.

You got it. Carry a pickaxe with you everywhere, and mine every ore deposit you find. Not just in the mines, but the ones scattered out across the landscape. Gold and silver are your best cash cow, and the random gems you can get while mining. Turning those into jewelry not only makes you some decent septims, but also gives you the biggest bang for the buck with skill raises at low level.
