How to find the ID of a specific weapon?

[llanita]

I've lost my Blade of Falkreath and would like to get one using console command. So I looked up the blade on google and it showed the ID. However when I entered the command for it I got an orc sword which I don't want. How else can I find the correct id?

I'm not familiar with the Console commands, and if they can respawn that particular item as it is essentially just a generic enchanted orcish sword that has been renamed. If there was a way for them to retrigger the scripts that fire when you finish the quest to become a Thane of Falkreath, that is likely what you will need to do.

I had the sword already. I'm a thane of Falkreath. I just can't find the sword. I've looked in all my 4 houses and it's not there, so I'd like to get it again

Well you're out of luck I mean vanilla (without mods) the game just picks a sword applies a random enchantment and renames it so the sword hasn't got an item id. it are just random generic weapons.

If the one you've lost still exists, what you can do is load a save where you still have it, note its reference ID, then load your current save and move it to you (with "prid referenceID", then "moveto player"). At least I think it should work, provided it didn't despawn.

The Jarls just reach behind their throne to the barrel full of junk weapons, and try to keep a straight face.

If the weapon is in reference to the mod - Unique Thane Weapons, then performing a console search by typing: help "blade of falkreath" (with quotes) should generate the item reference ID.

Using the move to command as mentioned above should put it at your feet. If it does not, using the player.equipitem [RefID] # should make one copy of the weapon and place it in your inventory.
If you should find the original weapon, you can always delete the copy or throw it in some barrel in town which will delete it anyway after a certain amount of in-game days.

The above information will break role-playing if that is a concern. Always make saves before performing console commands that can be referenced if any adverse situations should arise.

Yep, it is how thane rewards works. Game pickups weapon from list accomplished to your current level, apply random enchantment on it and rename it by template Blade of <Hold>.

use the console command:
Help (Name of weapon)
then it will show all the items and their ids with that name
then just type:
Player.additem (Item ID) 1

[Nabinkemper]

Lexi, you and I are on the same page in relation to a mod-rewarded weapon.

However, the others are correct if it was a vanilla reward. As Grab indicated, the vanilla rewarded Thane weapons are randomly generated. Although it is possible to perform a console search after it was rewarded, as at that time it has been generated, it is not guaranteed to work.

[llanita]

No mods. So it's random generated then. Ah well. Thanks everyone

Or better yet Forge a weapon you would want as the thane of Falkreath.
Enchant it with an enchantment that You'd want and Name it accordingly.

"My Falkreath destroyer" .. or what ever ... then hang it on a plaque
and forget about it for rest of your game.
It is your game your way ... so have fun whatever you do.
