Current Best Route

Quest stages are indicated in parentheses at the start of each step when they are updated. Keep in mind that these optimized steps are within the context of the 100% speedrun route, meaning that certain items and setups are sometimes assumed to have already been performed prior to the start of the quest.

  1. Continue talking to High Chancellor Ocato:
    • ↳ Champion of Cyrodiil (10)
  2. Wait 2 weeks. This is most optimally done by killing two guards and going to jail, or activating stage 10 of this quest earlier in the run and doing other objectives during this 2 weeks. (20)
  3. Fast travel to the Quest Marker to enter the Armory.
  4. Pick up any piece of dragon armor on the table across the room. (✔ 30)

Route Logic Considerations

There are no significant route logic considerations for this quest.

  • It appears this quest only checks if 2 weeks has passed if the player avoids loading screens for at least 45 seconds straight. It is easy to accidentally avoid triggering this quest update due to how quickly we move from cell to cell during the run, which can potentially cause a 45 second time loss.

Script Analysis

The script for this quest is MQDragonArmorQuestSCRIPT, which appears to run on set intervals based on the value of fQuestDelayTime. Upon reaching stage 10 of this quest, the script set MQDragonArmor.fQuestDelayTime to 100 is run, which should make the game check if 2 weeks have passed every 100 seconds. However, through testing we have found this interval to be 45 seconds. It is currently unknown why this is the case. Changing cells or save files to trigger a loading screen seems to reset this 45 second timer. The MQDragonArmorQuestSCRIPT script is set to run only during gameplay via begin gamemode.
