does anyone know if *ALL* the storage containers in Heartwood Cottage are safe? including the dressers, end tables, and "Mead Barrel"?

erm, just a quick update to that: the staff of Magnus is now permanently glitched in my hand, no matter which savegame I load (even ones previous to downloading the mod). it even appears in my hand when starting a new game, though unuseable, I'm going to try and unsub and see if it fixes itself...

I like it, but I have an issue with Magnus's staff: nothing to do with it working or not (it works fine), but I prefered it when Magnus's staff had a continuous effect, rather than a "charge and zap" effect... I hadn't really seen it in the description, but going back, it is included! it's more a gameplay preference, more than an actual issue. I'll be keeping the mod for the other staves, but I'm looking to see if I can get another mod which will change Magnus's one back... or if I can modofy a file, somewhere, or IDK... anyway, great mod!:steamhappy:

Toast Hobbit 24 Feb, 2019 @ 5:40pm 
is there any way to switch it back to continuous stream?
Daedric Gamer 27 Jun, 2018 @ 9:17am 
how do i customize the staff of magnus?
Cooldog 16 Dec, 2017 @ 10:51am 
So, you're saying that we can get an overpowered staff at the beginning of the game by going into Embershard mine? THANKS XD

Overall, I find that the mod is quite good and all but when you want to acquire the Aetherial Staff of Teleportation, whether it is actually bugged or not, as a note of critical feedback i'd suggest that since the puzzle is actually too vague in it's solution, (either that or a bug) then maybe perhaps add a sort of "hint" letter on the merc's corpse simplying a sentance of how some mechanisms work.

Overall, good mod, just a tad quirky.

fun but cant finsh the winterhold storyline
ExoticButts 3 Feb, 2017 @ 4:19pm 
Is there a version of this, prototype or otherwise, that just changes the Staff of Magnus without adding anything else? I doubt it, but worth asking.
Darvis 4 Dec, 2016 @ 7:42am 
Will this mod be implemented into "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition" game?
Logan Graham 24 Nov, 2016 @ 8:43am 
For me, i can't disable the initial barrier to get into the college of winterhold.

Is there a way to keep the vanilla staffs casting type? (the continous stream)
TigerInMansClothing 30 Aug, 2015 @ 8:04pm 
Zim & jjb-54: I found a work around for the Staff of Teleportation in the Deep Folk Ruins. I used the Teleportation Bow mod to teleport into the locked vault and get the loot. How ironic, using a teleport mod to get another teleport mod.
Waltheri 31 Jul, 2015 @ 10:19am 
Yes, hi
I can't seem to find the Rod of Impairment. The cradle stone tower IS in fact marked so it thought I was in the wrong tower bt there is no other tower. Please tell me wat i'm doing wrong and were the staff is please.
Asterix Ace 28 Jul, 2015 @ 2:09pm 
im getting a bug were if i use the staff to much (i.e spam it) the staff brakes, were it only strikes were i last hit, and it cannot move, (so basicly i hit the floor and try to hit my enemy, it will just strike the floor were i last hit it.) please help!!!

@ Zim thanks
Zim  [author] 1 Jun, 2015 @ 10:50am 
noahjwest...that's a bug I'm aware of...the most recent update broke the puzzle in Deep Folk Ruins, so the staff can't be obtained. You can still get it through console commands...you'll need to open the mod in the CK to get the fileID for the staff, but that should do the trick
Zim  [author] 1 Jun, 2015 @ 10:49am 
yawnos....sounds bugged mate, nothing i can do im afraid
TheOneOfLostSouls 30 May, 2015 @ 11:42am 
I can't get the aetherial staff of telepotation. Right now I am looking at it. I just can't get the door open. if I am missing somthing please tell me P.S. love the Mods detail.
yawnos 16 May, 2015 @ 5:34pm 
I'm having an issue where the location the staff casts at gets stuck and and casts on the same point no matter where I point the actual staff.
Comicsans32 10 Apr, 2015 @ 7:26pm 
hopefully the unlimited charges part works because my t button doesent i had to use the onscreen keyboard to type this comment :P
Zim  [author] 3 Apr, 2015 @ 3:02am 
Jon Luther...the damage increases as you level up.
Zim  [author] 3 Apr, 2015 @ 3:02am 
myoukei...that's just a bug mate, that's not how the mod should function...I recommend downloading the cleaner nexus version if you want the mod installed
Zim  [author] 3 Apr, 2015 @ 3:01am 
SargonTheDeadly...yeah I know, that wasn't an oversight but on reflection i think it was the wrong choice...the next update will fix this
Sporry 2 Apr, 2015 @ 11:07am 
Does it matching my level mean it upgrades the damage every time I level time or it keeps the same damage of the level I found it with? Anyways great mod.
myoukei 9 Mar, 2015 @ 6:47am 
Don't run this mod if you haven't beaten the mage guild questiline. It won't let you use the staff, instead it'll feed you some nonsense about having an insufficent charge (while not ltting you charge it).
Qahnaarin 9 Feb, 2015 @ 7:26pm 
I'm not sure if this has been pointed out yet, but if you use the beam version of the staff, The staff will not break ancano's barrior around the college, nor will it let you use the staff on the eye to make him vulnerable during the fight. the staff must be used in the form in which it is obtained
Bastard Time >:) 1 Feb, 2015 @ 2:41pm 
Oh, sorry about that. Thank you very much for taking the time to ask my dumb question (I hope it didn't bother you too much).
Zim  [author] 1 Feb, 2015 @ 1:19pm 
A very sexy bowl of fruit...the temp fix mod is designed to restore the original staff to its original settings...you need to uncheck the temp fix to use this mod
Bastard Time >:) 30 Jan, 2015 @ 2:27pm 
hey, i'm subed to this mod and the temp fix mod, but I still have the original staff.

jjb-54...thanks man....i'm sorry to say the puzzle is severely bugged as of the most recent update, working on a fix atm, but don't hold your breath, I'm very busy these days!

So is there a work around? A keyboard short cut?

I do appreciate and understand the challenge of Real Life - as I am fond of saying, "Life Happens."

STAFF OF THE HORDE
Enchantment: Summons a horde of Skeletons to surround a target for 60 seconds.
Charge: 1500/100 = 15 uses
Location: In Rannveig’s Fast on a table in the Necromancer’s dungeons below

I have no tried to use this several times only to have it come up 'empty' - no Skeletons - and yes the staff was fully charged and I was pointing pretty much down at my feet - a few feet out - up in the air .. Nada.

Is there a secret to this one? I was hopping it would help get me out of trouble, LOL ....

I see where my ' question ' was with the Cottage - there is a MOD - very nice too I might add, with the exact same name. That is why I was asking about it.

So you might want to ( ?? ) put in / on your description page, this is NOT that Mod - but a much simpler one. :)

BTW - Still a very nice cottage. :) . o O ( yours that is. )
jjb-54 25 Jan, 2015 @ 11:15am 
Well since it's included. :) I guess one more home will not 'hurt'. LOL.

Also I did just 'do it' .. and the Deep Folk Ruin - I cannot get passed the first door. The " lock ' puzzle will not work - so is there a work around??
Zim  [author] 25 Jan, 2015 @ 4:09am 
jjb-54...the cottage is included in this mod, but you don't need to interact with it in anyway...the only thing you'll lose from ignoring it is the Oblivious Blackstaff, otherwise it's fine to ignore
Zim  [author] 25 Jan, 2015 @ 4:08am 
Dragon Comeron...have a look on the nexus, the version there can be switched between fire and forget and concentration
jjb-54 24 Jan, 2015 @ 10:46pm 
Question - If I do not have Heartwood Cottage, is this mod going to work?

Problem is, I really do not need another home mod.

I'm sure it's a great one, of this I have no doubts, but there is only so many home mods one needs.

I really want to sub to this mod and just want to be sure it will work if I do not use this home mod.

Thanks ... :)
Doctor Drac 23 Jan, 2015 @ 2:26pm 
I don't really like the new Staff of Magnus, aside from the unlimited charge. I don't like the initial damage, I don't like that it's fire and forget, and I don't like the visual, but everything else is perfect. Actually, now that I think about it a bit more, just make whether the Staff of Magnus is fire and forget or concentrated.
Duckly Dan 12 Dec, 2014 @ 1:52pm 
I had a Feeling it was bugged.
Zim  [author] 12 Dec, 2014 @ 1:24pm 
The Ghost of Stonewall Jackson...the vault is bugged, it was working fine until the most recent update, and now it's bugged. Hoping to fix the issue soon
Duckly Dan 12 Dec, 2014 @ 3:07am 
Is there any form of Clue, Trick, or Hint as to open the Vault to get the Teleportation Staff? All I found was a note and a bloody skull and I have no idea how to get in there.
Bobebob 7 Dec, 2014 @ 10:04am 
I fixed it, by unequping it and dropping it then picking it back up
Zim  [author] 7 Dec, 2014 @ 9:51am 
bobebob1...when did this happen?
Bobebob 7 Dec, 2014 @ 8:41am 
So i installed the mod, used the staff for a while, but now the staff is not casting spells, it will charge up as normal but when i release it nothing happens. is there a fix for this?
Zim  [author] 30 Nov, 2014 @ 4:18pm 
simvetason...that's included in the Nexus version, have a look
FrostWendigo 30 Nov, 2014 @ 4:04pm 
Would it be possible to make a concentration version of the Staff of Magnus, like the original?
