I'm sorry I used the xx and forgot to explain, that the xx is dependant on what position the mod is in (in your load order). To get the xx type the following:

help "Ring of the Dragonborn"

Then, take the first two characters from it's objectID and use that in place of the xx in the quest's id. So for example I type help "Ring of the dragonborn" and get (08...). I then take that and type

setstage 08038c66 <stage # you want>

That's weird though that the courier isn't poping up with the notice. I did notice one time that he was taking quite a while to appear, then I walked into Drunken Huntsman in Whiterun and walked out, and then he appeared. I'm not sure why that happened, but that's another idea to try if you want.

ok thanks will give those a try and let you know. also sorry if i posted in the wrong place. I'm new to steam so still figuring things out.

does this have to be anew character to get the courier to come? cani not have it on a llready made one?
(also i dont know how to do any of the setstage stuff)

No you do not need to start a new character to get the courier to come :) You just have to have completed Dragon Rising. Follow these steps if you are not getting the courier coming up to you to give you the quest:

1) In the game press the ~ button to open the console command
2) Type the following in the console that pops up: help "Public Notice"
3) Take the objectID it provides; the series of characters and numbers in the parenthasis in the following line:

BOOK: (-this is the ObjectID-) "Public Notice"

4) Replace the xx in the next step with the first two characters in the objectID from step 3:
5) Type the following in the console: setstage xx038c66 5

And then the courier should come running up to you with the public notice to start the quest when you are anywhere the courier will normally appear. If that doesn't work, please let me know and I will continue to help you out :)

ok thanks(for spelling it out for me), ill try that.

I found the courier (or he found me) down by the East India Docks. I decided to do some RL chores and parked my character down by the docks and just left the game running for 5 minutes or so and low and behold on my return there he was. Don't forget to have subtitles switched on. Sorry I am not technical in anyway so this could have just been a lucky random meeting...

This is just a repost of both ways to get the courier to work in case people have questions :)

COURIER MISSING:
======================================
Some people have experienced the courier taking an abnormal amount of time to come up to them with the public notice. There are two ways around this:

OPTION 1:
1) In the game press the ~ button to open the console command
2) Type the following in the console that pops up: help "Public Notice"
3) Take the objectID it provides; the series of characters and numbers in the parenthasis in the following line:

BOOK: (-this is the ObjectID-) "Public Notice"

4) Replace the xx in the next step with the first two characters in the objectID from step 3:
5) Type the following in the console: setstage xx038c66 5


And then the courier should come running up to you with the public notice to start the quest when you are anywhere the courier will normally appear. If that doesn't work, then somehow the courier wasn't given the notice properly, so we must do a bit more work to fix it.


OPTION 2:
1) In the game press the ~ button to open the console command
2) Type the following in the console: help "Public Notice"
3) Take the objectID it provides; the series of characters and numbers in the parenthasis in the following line:

BOOK: (-this is the ObjectID-) "Public Notice"

4) Type the following in the console: player.additem <objectID from step 3> 1

Now you have the public notice the courier was supposed to give you :) But now we have to move the quest to the next stage (so it can continue)

5) Replace the xx in the next step with the first two characters in the objectID from step 3:
6) Type the following in the console: setstage xx038c66 15

So an example would be I type:
help "Public Notice"
and I get a line with:
BOOK: (08...) "Public Notice"
Then I type:
player.additem 08... 1
and to progess the quest I type:
setstage 08038c66 15


I am working on a way where all the user's have to do is add the public notice (step 4) and upon reading it, it will properly jump you in the quest. But follow what I gave here and you should be good :)

Ok I give up. I've spent 2 hours on this & still can't get the quest. Her's what I did.

help "Public Notice"
BOOK: (3F038C67) 'Public Notice'
So I entered:
setstage xx038c67
setstage xx3f038c67
setstage xx038c67 15
setstage xx3f038c67 5
setstage "xx038c67"
setstage "xx3f038c67"
setstage "xx038c67" 15
setstage "xx038c67" 5
All 8 codes give me a Script error message:

Item (Code above) Not Found For Parameter Quest
Compiled Script Not Saved!

So I'll try this code to get the Notice:
Player.additem "3f038c67" 1
Ok. Now I have the Public Notice. Courier don't show up, & no quest activated after reading the Notice. Notice says to talk to the stewart. He still won't tell me anything or give quest.

So I'll try this:

help "Ring Of The Dragonborn"
MESG: (3F010ECC) 'Ring Of The Dragonborn'
ARMO: (3F0119A8) 'Ring Of The Dragonborn'
So I entered:
For MESG: I tried these....
setstage xx010ecc
setstage xx3f010ecc
setstage xx010ecc 15
setstage xx3f010ecc 5
setstage "xx010ecc"
setstage "xx3f010ecc"
setstage "xx010ecc" 15
setstage "xx010ecc" 5
For ARMO: I tried these....
setstage xx0119a8
setstage xx3f0119a8
setstage xx0119a8 15
setstage xx3f0119a8 5
setstage "xx0119a8"
setstage "xx3f0119a8"
setstage "xx0119a8" 15
setstage "xx0119a8" 5

All 16 codes give me a Script error message:

Item (Code above) Not Found For Parameter Quest
Compiled Script Not Saved!

Courier still don't show up, & no quest activated after reading the Notice. Notice says to talk to the stewart. He still won't tell me anything or give quest.

Ok. I'll try this code to get the ring:
player.additem "3F0119A8" 1
Ok. Now I have the Ring Of The Dragonborn. Courier don't show up, & no quest activated after equipping the ring. I talk to the stewart. He still won't tell me anything or give quest.

I now have access to all of the castle, but everything will be stolen if I take, & if I put anything into chests, they will become stolen if I try to take them out. Well, this does not help me at all. I have completed Dragon Rising. I have killed 25 dragons. I have 20 shouts. Sow how do I get the quest? How am I supposed to use the casle stuff if all is stolen? This stinks.

Any advice would be cool. Thanks.

UPDATE!
Ok, so I gave up, & just started playing the game. I got the house in Solitude, Whitrun, Riften, & built the one in Faulkreath or however it's spelled. So I'm leavin Blue Palace 6 hours later after trying all I mentioned above, & this dude comes running at me at full speed! I quickly withdrawl my sword prepared to take off his head, & IT'S THE DANG COURIER! What the heck? Your kinda late arent ya pal?!?! He gives me the Public notice! I read it, it gives me a quest! Finally! There is a god after all. Took a while though. I guess one of those I did finally worked. LoL! But hey, thanks a bunch for the mod monstersock! Great mod. Glad I didn't have to remove it.

Happy gaming!

So... basicly the remedy seems to be that he takes a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of time...

So either wait that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ or just use console commands?

♥♥♥♥ couriers... Seriously. I've waited too long on Couriers even in Vanilla.

We need a mailbox mod or like... a post office or something.

For me it still says Invalid info for paremeter quest, I've got the note by console command though but when i do the quest it says ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


i've done everything from above
