Mead with Juniper Berry BUG.

Post » Wed Jun 06, 2012 5:03 pm

Extremely annoying.

Started a new game. After character creation during the opening attack on Helgen, I jump through the roof into the inn, and I notice NO mead with Juniper berries laying there, anywhere.
I figured they would spawn after the Bandits appear, so I travel out of the cell to Whiterun, and wait 2 weeks.
I return to find the bandits moved in, and everything reset. STILL NO MEAD WITH JUNIPER BERRY.
Not a single bottle.

Many people would not consider that a big deal. It is still a bug. Those bottles in Helgen are the only location in the entire game where this mead exists. I am a collector, so this svcks for me.

I have noticed in previous games, sometimes there were only 2 bottles laying there, sometimes 3, sometimes 5, sometimes none.

It is hit or miss.

Reloading the autosave right before the attack does not work.

The only thing one can do is start a new game and wait until after character creation to see if it is bugged or not.

I believe you can find some just outside of Helgen.

Where?

The wiki says it only exists within the upper floor of the Inn. :-(

I've never even noticed, but I'm heading there now.

It's possible that you're experiencing a bug wherein cells don't repopulate properly if you revisit the cell during the respawn period. I've experienced it with the Shrine of Mehrunes Dagon on both of my characters <_< and people have reported that it can happen in other cells. :o

Is there any way to know what the respawn period is?

Someone told me it is 14 days away from a cell. Others have said 10 days.

I am pretty sure I waited sufficient time. The bandits had moved in.

I've heard that the respawn periods are either 10 or 30 game days depending upon something like whether they're quest dungeons or general dungeons, but I've never done any kind of tests. :confused:

The respawns could bug out in general because I've been careful to say away from the Shrine of Mehrunes Dagon on my 2nd character, but recently it's acting up. <_<

What is the issue with Mehrunes Dagon Shrine?

I am not familiar with any respawn bugs other than the Helgen one.

There are supposed to be 2 Dremora outside (in Daedric armor), 2 inside (one in Daedric armor and one in mage's robes), and quite a bit of treasure (gold ingots, ebony ingots, a few pieces of enchanted gear, and various alchemy ingredients). If you go back to the cell or too close to it during the respawn timer it bugs out like this: the first few times the 2 outside no longer appear and then after a few more trips the 2 inside stop appearing also. :mellow: So far all the items inside still spawn.

I've never had this happen.... (I'm on pc, though, mind). I can go back there every few days (closest time was 4 days) and have them do exactly what they did to begin with, and all the stuff inside is respawned as well. This is true for 5 of the toons I have currently active (the others haven't done the questline, or won't do it, depending).

[ETA: um, what's the deal with the mead with juniper berries? Why would you want it?]

It delicious and Gin-like. :P

I don't know, but now that I know about it I'm gonna' have to back every so often to collect them. :lol: Now, if you'll excuse me I have to spin around in my chair 3 times and go wash my hands again.

Um, I already answered that question when I created this topic.

Really? Sorry, I didn't see anything in your original post which stated what they're good for.

I'm confused. Do you want to know, what the "deal" is with them, what they're good for, or why I want them?

Like I said above, I am a collector, and those 5 bottles are the only ones that exist in the game.

I display items in my home, etc.

Not to mention the mere fact that it is something that belongs in the game, and they're missing. I hate having a bugged game of any kind.

Ah! I'm sorry, I didn't quite get that point. I understand - I'm a pack rat myself, though I don't pack rat stuff that's consumable. Okay, I get you now.... I thought you meant they were a superior heal pot or some such....

They aren't missing in my games - I can go back to Helgen at any time and the bottles are still strewn around the upper floor of the ruined inn.... So perhaps you've run into a glitch. Hope you can get it fixed!

Wikia says this:

"The mead was brewed by Vilod, and because of his death there are only a few bottles left."

So I'm wondering if the times it has respawned is the bug. :confused: I'm gonna' check back in my game after the cell resets.

No, definitely not. They are consumable, and have a really nice decoration/label.

Another wiki link says there are 5 bottles on the upper floor of the Inn. They are supposed to be there.

It is a pretty ugly thing when I hit a bug one hour into my game.

Yeah, I saw that. Honningbrew is consumable too, but becomes a collector's items as well if you do something for someone. :P

Just created 3 new characters in a row. All 3 times, no mead with juniper berry.

Each time, I waited 4 weeks in whiterun before returning to Helgen.

All 3 times, the bandits had moved in, and everything was reset without any interruptions or entering the cell prematurely.

No mead. This is a rampant bug that probably nobody knows about.

Probably nobody cares either.

I do. 5 bottles are supposed to be in the game. I have gotten them before.

Still there on my post 1.5 character. Maybe you have to clear your cache on your xBox or something.

I am on a PC, and I have had a string of characters who have only been able to get three or four bottles, even if it is an older save that has been able to get all five back in December.
I tried to duplicate your problem, but all of the chararacters were able to return to Helgen and harvest at least three bottles :confused:

Ji Soo -

Which platform are you playing on? Also if on 360 could you tell me whether or not you had the game installed to your hard drive when you started your fresh game?

Bradleyh - My problem is that I am not getting all 5.

Looking at the picture, he seems to be on PC, considering I don't think consoles have an E button.

I'm on PS3 and I get 5 of them. Except once when there was only 3. That was weird.

Sorry, but I don't know how to help you.
