[edit] Weekday Names

I suggest that we put a translation for Turdas (and other days) for those of us who aren't the best or most in love with days in The Elder Scrolls... Just a suggestion.Drake3555 23:31, 12 May 2008 (EDT)

I don't see how that would help - the day in the game is given in Elder Scrolls terminology, so relating it to real-life days of the week in this article would be completely irrelevant. Anyhow, if you wanted to know what the days are equivalent to, that's what the Calendar page is for. --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 01:29, 13 May 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Quest Repeatable?

Is this quest repeatable as the weeks go by? --Debatra 16:28, 11 June 2008 (EDT)

If you mean, "Can you collect the bounty for more bows?", then the answer is yes. Provided you keep killing Black Bow Bandits and bringing back their bows, you can collect money right through to the end of the game. --Robin Hood (Talk • E-mail • Contribs) 18:41, 11 June 2008 (EDT)

Does Mazoga have to be alive the whole time to keep it going? --Debatra 18:49, 11 June 2008 (EDT)

I don't believe so, no, though obviously the Count does. --Robin Hood (Talk • E-mail • Contribs) 18:53, 11 June 2008 (EDT)

No, in fact Mazoga can die before you finish with the quest to kill Black Brugo, though not before you turn in the quest to take her to Fisherman's Rock. Once you turn in the quest Black Brugo, if Mazoga is already dead you can loot her corpse again for her Leyawiin Shield and key. In reality the quest should be listed as being given by Marius Caro as opposed to Mazoga. Deadlykris 12:21, 10 October 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Mazoga and Black Bows

If you travel with Mazoga to find black bow bandits, does she take any of the black bows?Master264 23:40, 15 August 2008 (EDT)

No. I suppose it's theoretically possible that she would take one if her sword broke, but it's really, really unlikely. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 02:45, 16 August 2008 (EDT)

Actually, one time I encountered her coincidentally in Rockmilk Cave, dead, and she did indeed have a Black Bow on her - but only one. It was a long time ago so she may not have been dead, I may have been pickpocketing her, I don't remember clearly. At any rate if she does take any bows, it's limited to only one. Deadlykris 12:25, 10 October 2008 (EDT)

Today I tried to pickpocket her just to see, and she actually had five Black bows, two Glass daggers, one Elven arrow and one Daedric arrow. It seems she might pick up any loot. SwedishBerzerker at youtube.com 11:49, 14 March 2009 (EDT)

I happened to enter one of the Black Bow hangouts to find Mazoga had already killed the inhabitants. I noticed none of the corpses had bows on them and when she killed the last one she walk over too it like she was looting it. I'm pretty sure she takes the bows. Also, this article makes it sound like you need Mazoga to hunt the bandits when she's irrelevant. 66.167.233.79 15:00, 22 March 2009 (EDT)

Mazoga has a few AI packages for her Bandit-hunting. On Morndas, Middas and Turdas, at 2pm she'll head out to Telepe, Rockmilk Cave and Undertow Caverns respectively. She'll stick around for 16 hours trying to find 5 Black Bows. It's similar to the AI package that causes M'aiq to collect calipers. --Dalimyr^{(T ≈ C)} 03:55, 23 March 2009 (EDT)

[edit] Duplication?

Can you use the Item Duplication Glitch on Black Bows? --Debatra 17:41, 23 August 2008 (EDT)

I don't think there's anything special about the bows that would prevent you from using any of the duplication glitches to make more of them. Deadlykris 12:27, 10 October 2008 (EDT)

I haven't been able to get the scroll trick to work with them, but I can't test the arrows one (I'm patched up) –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 12:41, 10 October 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Mazoga the Orc stops

I followed her to Rockmilk Cave and aided her in battle. First she went into the central room, then to the right-hand room. After that, she won't go anywhere; I'll have to push her around if I want her to join me in battle. Is this a bug or it it something I have missed? Thanks! EDIT: After I had cleared the rest of cave including the other section, I went out of it and returned to White Stallion Lodge the next day, Turdas at 2 pm. When she was going for some Black Bow Bandits again, I thought that she'd go to Undertow Cavern, but she went north instead, probably towards Rockmilk Cave again! Why does this happen? Is it mandatory for her to go through each whole cave? SwedishBerzerker at youtube.com 11:49, 14 March 2009 (EDT)
