Right, let me prefix this with saying that this post has SPOILERS for the end of the Mage's College Questline. No way of avoiding it.

If you don't want it spoiled then STOP READING NOW.

So I completed the Winterhold College questline a week or so back, with my Lvl 45 Nord...

I am now Arch-Mage, which is pretty useful, and gives me access to the Quarters of the Arch-Mage.

For completing the questline I was given the Arch-Mage's Robes. Great! I thought. Until I was informed by a mate of mine that I was also supposed to be awarded the Arch-Mage's Hood. I wasn't, and having played so far on afterwards I no longer have a Saved Game to go back to.

Anybody else have this happen?

According to the Official Strategy Guide the reward is supposed to be Arch-Mage Robes and Arch-Mage Hood. I'm playing on Xbox, and only received the Robes.

At the time I think I was wearing the Dragon Lord mask dropped by the Dragon Lord you have to kill in the penultimate quest in this questline, at the City of Labyrnthian. No idea if that has anything to do with it.

Anybody else finished the questline? Did you get both items or just the robes?

The Archmage robe is hooded , you can still use a circlet with it though , so you lose nothing compared to an unhooded robe

Does this not belong to the other forum?

It may well be. It's just that the Guide states it's two separate Apparel items. I only received one - the Robes. Are there supposed to be two, or is this a misprint?

Only one.

happend to me yesterday. v1.3 xbox

but im a warrior and craft my own gear so it doesnt really matter to me.

and armor maniquins on xbox are broken anyway so imo why bother even displaying collected armor anyway.

But it doesnt stop me from playing. The massive landscape is what keeps me going back.

I'm on Xbox and they work fine for me. Too well in fact. They keep creating more and more armour. Kind of like the sorcerers apprentice....

Mine work okay in Solitude, but not in other houses. It's all down to the grand YOU MUST BUY ALL UPGRADES FOR YOUR HOUSE BEFORE ENTERING IT bug. Weapon Racks, Wall Mounts and Mannequins all break in odd combinations if you don't. It svcks.

So, anyway, all one item then? No Arch-Mage Hood?

There is supposed to be a set of hooded robes and un-hooded ones. We recieve the hooded version. According to the stats, we get the better version.

Now THAT'S a bug I'd actually LIKE. Cloning Unique items so I could sell off the copies for a tidy profit...

Hmmm. Wonder if this is a glitch or an intentional design decision, then...

Like I say the Official Strategy Guide says it's two items.

most, if not all, mannequins do this. just check youtube for the how to.

i've only received one item of apparel for becoming arch mage. as far as being glitch, design decision, or possibly misprint; they are all equally possible.

The hood is part of the robes.

i should have been more specific.:

armor maniquins in rifton are never aligned also helms on the maniquins do not display/show.

my display cases in the house at eastmarch, i am unable to place weapons in them.

wall mount weapon displays in my house in solitude either are eaten into the wall (disappear after placing them) or unable to place them.

Yes having item equiped properly then to press A to equip the rack.

Yes all houses are fully upgraded and cleanup was done prior before upgrade on eastmarch home.

v1.1 was not an issue
v1.2 noticed eastmarch home not working properly
v1.3. noticed all of my homes having the similar weapon/maniquin issue.

So i just shove everything in the barrels now. Besides its not like anyone is comin over in game to tour the house so it is what it is.

OP just craft a mage hood, you prob be able to make one thats better.

I hate that glitch more than the mannequins disappearing. It ruins immersion for me and I already have over 100+ Amulets of Talos that are marked as stolen now (which shouldn't be, as I looted it from Roggvir)

We have a spoiler section - if you have to put spoiler in your title, then it does not belong in general. And those of you who replied with spoiler information, next time wait until the thread is moved.

Which it is now.

Cool bug.

My bug is where Lydia won't get off of my bed. I guess all that bread made her sick.
