==Route Logic Considerations==

* A wolf pelt or bear pelt may be offered for this quest. The Bear Pelt is more optimal since we need one anyway for [[Oblivion:Expelled from the Fighters Guild|Expelled from the Fighters Guild]] and can buy it from Sergius Verus at the same time that we buy the home furnishings for [[Oblivion:Buy a house in the Imperial City|Buy a house in the Imperial City]]. See the [[Oblivion:Bear Pelt|Bear Pelt]] item page for more details.
* The Minotaurs of the Grove are killed because they prevent you from fast traveling even if you have 100% Chameleon.
* You can technically kill the Unicorn before starting the quest, but you have to fast travel to Hircine anyway to get near it so it doesn't save time.
* Since a specific player level is required to start this quest, it is best done after the first instance of Power Leveling in the route logic.
* Like most Daedric Shrine quests, there are unskippable [[Oblivion:Cutscenes|cutscenes]] that we need to find a way to avoid.
