Well, I accidentally found a good way to get some good armor. I am a mage, so my unarmored is what I rely on, but I got a helmet that when used casts spell absorption for 60 second and bound curiass for 60 seconds. Well, the armor had around a 60 armor rating, so I decided I didn't want to wear it (even though it was +5 constant effect to 4-5 different attributes) so I took it off and dropped it on the floor. Then I decided what the heck and picked it up and put it back on for an experiment. Well, I have had it on for many hours of gameplay and it still hasn't disappeared. I guess the game erased the one minute timer when I dropped it, so now it is permanent.

Yea, I am not sure if it will work for all bound items, but it has in this case.

I tried to drop my bounded sword and couldnt. Was your helmet equipped when you dropped it?

jschelm

Yea, the helmet is equipped and when I cast its spell I was given the absorb magica and the bound curiass so I just dropped the curiass. I haven't tried to do it again to see if it will work all the time or not, but I will this evening when I get home from work.

Yeah this worked for me also. The devil encephalopod helmet or whatever. I cast the helmet, it gave me the bound curiass (the helmet is still in inventory also). Then I dropped the cuiriass and sold the helmet to creeper. After about 10 hours of gaming, I still have that cuiriass. Man It rocks. It weighs 0.0,and has an armor rating of 80. I used that armor and brute forced my way into the Redoran vaults in Vivec. Before this armor, an ordinator killed me in one hit. With this armor, I succeded in killing two dudes and 4 ordinators!!!! I couldn't gate this to work for weapons though. It won't let you drop them. I am currently scouring the country for bound armor. If any one knows of any items that summon bound armor, especially gauntlets or shoulder pieces, post them here or PM me.

No WAY!!!

I got this katana that turns into something nice!!
I gotta try this!

So what do i do?

cast the sword, now when i look in my inventory i see the original sword and the unbound sword.
Drop the unbound sword than pick it back up and it should stay?

SWEEET!

jschelm
06-25-2002, 12:51 PM
That is the general method....if it will let you drop the sword. I have only tried this on the one curiass that I had, so I can't say for sure that it will work for you.

Yea i did it befoe i was just playing around i didnt save it. I might o it now because im a vampire and i want to not have weight so i can take advantage of my speed and jump abilities. But can u repair the stuff?

EHWfedPres
06-25-2002, 01:19 PM
You cannot drop summoned items. Did you drop the helmet that had the magical properties bound and absorb, or did you drop the bound helmet, because I know you cannot do that...? Explain so people can understand next time. Tell us what you dropped exactly.

Tkf5000
06-25-2002, 01:22 PM
You just get a cheap helm enchant it so it will sumon something then u drop the cheap helmand u got a good helm that weighs nothing. i did this once but didnt save. but can u repair these items is what i wanna know.

Who sells the bound armor spells...I only have helm, longsword, and dagger...

jschelm
06-25-2002, 01:51 PM
OK here is as simple as I can lay it out for what I did.

1) got an awesome helmet that has the effect of bound curiass when cast.

2) cast the spell to get the bound curiass which has no weight, an armor of 80 and magical properties.

3) drop the bound curiass

4) pick it up

5) re-equip it and it will be there for good.

He didnt.

So theres no glitch?

EHWfedPres
06-25-2002, 02:13 PM
If you bound and item, go into your inventory, select it and hit X to drop it, it will say You cannot drop magical items! or something like that...

Tkf5000
06-25-2002, 02:15 PM
I just told you how u get a sword or something u put a enchantment on it and you drop the normal item notthe bound and then u got it forever and it weighs o.o. i just told u that a couple posts ago.

No he didn't and neither did I and the other jack off who got it to work. Just because you can't read and follow along with what all the other posts said, you say "He didn't".:rolleyes: Whatever.

It doesn't work with weapons. Someone already pointed this out.
But it does work with the helm mentioned in the first post. Just because you don't understand the concepts presented in this thread doesn't mean it doesnt work for other more capable people than yourself.

Hey. Maybe it works when you enchant something. But as for the Fiend katana or the fiend tanto or anything else that summons a weapon, It has always said "Cannot drop a summoned item." But for armor it has worked each and everytime I have tried it.

Tkf5000
06-25-2002, 02:35 PM
yea does that for me too when i try drop weapon. try dropping the fiend katana or tanto and see what happens. i did it b4 i dont remeber if i worked cuz it was long ago.

You know, it might turn out to be weapon specific. If everyone tries it on the weapons and armor they know of, we could figure out which weapons/armor/items can be tricked. Like someone said earlier, I woulld be interested in knowing if they can be repaired also.

Tkf5000
06-25-2002, 02:55 PM
yea i said that about repairing. i really want to know if it works or not to see if its worth buying all the spells ans stuff. ill let someone else do it because im taking a break from morrowind today cuz i playtoo much i havent played all day but its getting really tempty!

jschelm
06-25-2002, 05:25 PM
Alright, now I know if you are a total moron it is possible to argue with a screen shot, but here is the proof that this works.

http://www.umr.edu/~jschelm/proof.jpg

I did also try this on the bound dagger which did not allow me to drop it because it was a standard summon spell. Maybe the trick lies with the fact that I summoned it from an item or maybe it is a glitch with this item, but, EHWfedPres THIS DOES WORK!

I will try and check for you guys tonight about repairing it, but hey, with a durability of 2400 just throw it away and cast the spell again to save your money.

I tried to summon the bound long sword with the fiend katana and drop the katana but the bound longsword still went away:mad:

jschelm
06-26-2002, 07:13 AM
I haven't tried dropping my helm to see if the bound curiass stays, I can try and do that sometime if you want. Also, from what I have been reading this is a strange thing to do with the armor and not so much the weapons.

Last night i found a scroll that binds full set of armor. I used it and all i can drop is the curiass. I think curiasses are the only thing that works. It was weird. But you CAN repair summoned items. I was testing it last night running around in just the bound armor and i repaired it and it worked. The bad thing is it is light armor and i wear heavy and some medium. But it had a spell to add 5 to all armor types and 5 to block and constant affect.

Listen, when I bound an item and try to drop it, it says I cannot drop magical summoned items! Do I need to take a shot of my tv and prove you wrong, because your method is either fictional or you did not explain it properly.

you cant drop a bound sword or any other 1 but you CAN drop the bound cuirass, you need the helmet in the traders house in Caldera, its about 1000 drakes. Summon it, wait the 60 seconds then pick it up. YOu know have a permanent bound cuirass!

I don't know how else to explain it EHWfedPres, I think my 2 year old next door neighbor figured it out by now. Maybe, just maybe, if you would go through and read all of the posts you would see....many times, the statement that I have ONLY GOTTEN THIS TO WORK WITH THIS ONE ITEM, and that I have also tried it with the bound dagger and it didn't work.

Please, do us all a favor, and if you don't have any intelligent comments to add to this thread or if you are just coming in here to tell people that I am lying to them just quit posting. It will keep you from looking stupid in the future and keep you from gathering more enemies on this site.

I already posted that it is in the traders house, in Caldera, it is shiny, red and is about 1200 drakes, you cant summon the cuirass if your a beast race though, cause u cant equip the helmet, it happened to my first guy:mad:

06-27-2002, 01:18 PM

No theres a couple because you all are talking about the helm and i got a scroll that did it. I think it works on quite a few items.

I totally (and probably so do most people) understand and don't mind confusion. I even tried to work through it with you nicely, at first...but it is when that confusion turns to stupidity and more importantly to blatantly wrong and idiotic accusations that it makes people mad. So, I hope you to got it to work EHWfedPres and that maybe next time you decide to call me a lier you will think twice because you can be guaranteed that I will prove you wrong.

I am not sure. I guess if you can cast the spell without equiping the unit then ya, but I am pretty sure that you have to wear the helmet.

Thats what i think too,
Cause if you hold Y and use L + R to toggle your spells, enchanted items etc, if you come across apparal it equips it automaticly.

Yeah, i already posted that my dude is a beast race and cannot wear the helmet, I'll try the hold Y and l/r trick though, I dont think it will work, I think it will skip it
