Xbox 360: Mine ores won't reset

[Frazer]

I have waited a few in game months but I still can't mine the ores in Gloombound mine. Any ideas on how to fix it?

If your issue is down to the Xbox version of the game there is not much you can do as you're not able to add mods to the game. It might be worth checking out the UESP wiki site to see if there's an in-game workaround which can be found here:-

If there's not any information on an in-game work-around then you'll not be able to sort it any other means that I can think of. If you're actually playing on Xbox then there's no third party mod support so you'll not be able to apply fixes with mods like the unofficial patches.

respawn in 30 days, in-game days

Sorry if I'm teaching my gran to suck eggs, but just in case you don't realise - if you go into the mine before the respawn time is up (even just to check if it's respawned) it resets the clock - so if you're doing that, make sure you save *before* you go in and then reload if it's too soon. Similarly, you have to be outside the mine (I'd say in another area completely to be safe) while you're waiting, e.g. travel to Whiterun, wait 31 days, go and check.

I've waited about 3 months, the ores are there but are un-mineable and I can walk straight through them. I can't hit them with a pickaxe either.

For some reason it works now. ???. Thanks for the support anyways! I'll remember it for next time.
