Hi!

Before i started the Quest: Forbidden Legends, i already found the Gauldur Amulet Fragment in Geirmund's Hall and sold it. I didnt know it was a quest item.
After the Quest started. I had to recover the Gauldur Amulet Fragment in Geirmund's Hall. But ofcourse its not there anymore.

Does this mean, this quest is over and locked now? I play this game on Xbox360.
Any chance to find this anywhere else?

Thanks!

i m having te same problem and i can't remember to who i sold it so a little bump

Quest item. Not sellable.

To bad i dont have savegame. and also, i know that after couple of days the shopkeepers have new items. So for me i was level 20 when i found it, as far as i remember, now level 40 so i forgot who i sold it to. but im sure he or she doenst have it anyways.

if that was the case, i wouldnt be posting this. and like i said, the quest wasnt activated. i went looting. found the amulet. sold it. perhaps this is one of the items that you are able to sell before the quests starts.

I know that normally selling quest items is not possible. but with this one, it really did happen.

You can go back to the person you sold it to and buy it back

It's probably a glitch with the Xbox version, on the PC it's a quest item and can't be sold iirc.

i probably went to every shop keeper couldnt find it

then you didn't go to every shop keeper

if you are on PC you can console a new one to yourself

If its a unique quest item then you CANNOT sell it. If you have a quest to find an item which is sellable then you should be able to find that same item somewhere else.

:spotted owl:

Maybe this should be in the bug forum?

i dont doubt it.just a heads up tho alot of the quest are bugged so becarefull looting .i was looting before i did alot of the quest ,and when it came time to get the item i thought oh cool i got that.whoa was i wrong it sent me to get the item anyway and when i got to the place it wasnt there,obviously its in my inventory already.but it wouldnt accept it and couldnt complete the quest.

I agree that its not sellable. but i really did sell it. i remember i did. so probably it is what you say like i should be able to find it, but many quests have bugs. probably this is one., or not....

hmm sorry but be more carefull i think all quest items should be droppable/sellable, stupid quest items stuck in my inventory...surly they could code it so they are stuck in the shop keeps inventory insted so u can buy it back. that or only have quest items spawn after the quest starts.

Finding any of the pieces starts the quest.

The quest starts after reading Daynas Valen’s notes.

I want to know how you did that. I had looted a few Briar Hearts and went to dump everything in the house but it wouldn't let me dump those because they were flagged as quest items. Several hours later, I finally get a quest to acquire a Briar Heart, yet now it's bugged because I already had it in my inventory before the quest started. So now it's a quest item that I can't get rid of.

Of course the OP is right. I remember that when I got my first amulet fragment, I was able to sell it. Of course I didn't, because I was on the quest, and realized that I needed to hang on to it. But iirc, I was able to sell if I wanted to. The amulets must be marked as something inbetween a quest item and a regular item.

If you are on a console, the only way to fix this is finding the shopkeeper who you sold it too. I don't know if shopkeepers reset their inventory or not. I think they might get more new stuff after a while. But they might hang on to what you sold them forever. Not sure.

Now that I think of it, there is a theoretical way to fix these issues for consoles.
Is it possible to copy savefiles from a console on a disk or usb-stick ? Or copy files over the network ?
In that case, you could copy a x-box or ps3 savefile to a PC. Then on a PC, you could write an editor to edit savefiles. I looked at the format of savefiles in Morrowind many years ago. And it didn't look complicated. That editor could place/change items in your inventory, or in chests or at shopkeepers. You then place the savefile back on your console. And voila. You get your items.

Anyone wanna create such an editor ?
Would make you famous amongst 4 million console-users.

The OP is probably confused by the difference between "quest item" and "quest reward".

No, he's not.
There really is an issue with those amulet fragments. They don't act as regular quest items. Or at least one of the fragments is weird.
Why does everybody think they are smarter than the OP ?
It's not like it is unbelievable that there is a bug in Skyrim.

This needs to be moved to the right forum.

I found the amulet when i was looting. i sold it to a shopkeeper. after the quest was activated, it pointed me to the exact location of amulet where it should be, but it was not in that cave. i searched every shopkeeper. but no, no one has. to bad ill keep it for next walkthrough

the QUEST wasnt started YET!! I need 3 amulets to get the Reward. I sold one of em.

Got exactly same problem...arrow points to nowhere. I sold it too but like 80 hours of game play earlier (((
