No Stone Unturned quest glitch (Fix Found! Read before collecting all gems!)

Just a quick informative here,

 

 

DO NOT collect all 24 unusual gems before starting the quest "No Stone Unturned".

 

 

Upon finding your 1st through 23rd gem you MUST speak with Vex to receive the quest "No Stone Unturned".

 

 

If you do not speak with her before you have all 24 gems, The quest WILL NOT update that you have found them all.

 

 

To test this out, I decided I would collect all 24 gem stones before I had started the quest "No Stone Unturned" from Vex, Located in the Ragged Flaggon for the Thieves guild.

 

 

Upon finding my 23rd stone, I saved the game, Then I had collected the final 24th stone, and I went to see Vex. I started the "No Stone Unturned" quest as normal, But since I had already acquired all stones, It was unable to update since there was nothing left to collect.

 

 

So I reloaded the save from the 23rd stone, Spoke with Vex, Collected the 24th stone and it updated properly.

 

 

Just a heads up to watch out and not ruin your chances of reloading a save or just knowing what happened.

 

 

Hope this helps everyone out!

Good info, but I have a question regarding this quest.

 

 

(Spoilers)

 

Apparently one of the stones is in the Thalmar Embassay when you sneak into the party during the main quest "Diplomatic Immunity". Of course I didnt search the house good enough and missed it. But now it seems I cant get back in. The front door is locked and cant be picked and I can find the key anywhere.

 

So my question basically is - Is there anyway to get back into the Thalmar Embassay? Or am I screwed and cant finish quest?

Stone Locations.

  3. Thalmor Embassy: In Elenwen's Solar, in a bedroom (during or after the main quest "Diplomatic Immunity") Note: If you did not get this one during Diplomatic Immunity, you can 'glitch' through The Reeking Cave next to the Thalmor Embassy to get back to Elenwen's Solar.

I don't know if this has been answered, but is this quest required for any Thieves achievement? I mean, it's a long and boring quest to find 24 gems all around the map.

 

Thanks.

No.

 

and I agree. I hate collecting stuff. I think there's some sort of reward at the end. I think a bigger stone or something.

The reward at the end of this is a passive ability to find more gems throughout all dungeons in the game. So for the people who have extreme issues finding flawless "blanks" this would be a good quest to complete.

I figured I would pop into this thread again as there seems to be a lot of the old questions popping up again from when the game first came out.

 

Not sure if this is still a problem or if it was ninja patched, but the information is still solid to have just incase.

Figure I'd mention that with one of the updates, the stone found in the Thalmor Embassy is now located in Reeking Cave. This is the only change that I've found. Should still try to collect the stone during "Diplomatic Immunity", but still can be accessed later if missed.

 

Everything else in this thread is accurate and good info!:)

Thank you, I didn't know that.
