Any way to force a new source of stalhrim quest

[Ki11s0n3]

I completed all other side missions and the main story on Solstheim and no matter what I do I can't find the guys for the quest. Maybe they might have died I don't know. Is there a console command that I'm missing to force start the quest?

I tried the SetStage DLC2SV02 10 command like the fan pages suggest but it doesn't do anything.

I made a guide to fix it:

Did you get the quest to find the kidnapped smith in the Skaal Village? If he is missing ask the villagers and you will get a quest to find him. He was kidnapped by the Thalmor.
The Smith is the one who will give you the quest, but you have to rescue him first. You didn't say that you have done that quest or not. So I am thinking that you may have missed it.
I will say no more, except good hunting / rescuing.

For me he isn't missing and non of the villagers have any dialogue options

Ahh, ok then did you get the map from the Thalmor and give it to the smith? The map you get from the Thalmor captain at the ship by the shack with all the crabs around it. If you have done that one and got the map then I would say that it is reload time, because the villagers should be speaking to you. Maybe leave the village for a day and then come back.

If you haven't done that quest yet then leave the village for a few days and then come back. Otherwise I am thinking you should try to leave the game and reload a prior save.

I am leaning towards reload time, because the villagers should be speaking to you if you completed the main 'kill Mirak' quest.

When I go to Northshore Landing there isn't a ship or any Thalmor. I definitely won't be reloading any saves. If anything I'll cheat and give myself the achievement for crafting a Stalhrim item. Wanted to do it like the game intended, but it looks like I won't be able to unless like I said someone knows a command to force the quest.

Then you haven't gotten the save the smith quest yet. Just fast travel to someplace on the island or back to skyrim and give it a few days. Then go back.
You really don't need to cheat, just explore the island until you come to where you find a number of drauger covered in ice. use your ancient pick and mine the stalhrim and take it to any forge and craft anything with it. You will get the achievement for that.

Or if all else fails just player.additem xx02B06B 6 (shalhrim) and use that to craft something at any forge for the achievement. The easiest way to get the achievement without messing up your game by playing around with quest commands.

I know, but he won't go missing and non of the villagers say anything about it. Don't you have to learn to smith with Stalhrim from the Smithy that's supposed to go missing?

I have a bunch of the stuff but don't have anything in the menu to craft using it.

[soltan-heatwave]

No, you just have to have the skill point for smithing Stalhrim and some stalhrim on hand to smith it. You can add all the smithing skills from the command console. I don't have them handy, but be sure, if you do it, to have 100 points and have all the lower skills filled before adding stalhrim. It does work, because I have done it myself a couple of times when I got bored doing quests and wanted some smithed stalhrim items.

Ah ok then I guess I can do that then thanks. Thought I was kinda screwed out of it because that quest line wouldn't pop for me.

I know, like I said, you can do it without messing up your game with dangerous quest commands, and you will even get the quest when visiting the village a number of times. I don't know why they aren't talking to you, but try leaving for a few days and coming back to see if that works. Or fast traveling to skyrim and back again to see if that breaks things loose.

Hi. Stalrim smithing = Ebony. The smith whom you rescued will tell you this. There are some in the pirates crypt & the mine in Ravenrock & on some ice small islands. Ehh just asking did you do the Dragonborn mission with Freya? Later the 1 Word of Power ' Bend Will " & cleansing of the stones which will free the Skal villagers? The save smith quest usually triggers after this for me. You will overhear a man & woman arguing about this.

Yeah I did every mission on the island that I know of except for the Saving the smithy one. Thought I needed to do it in order to smith with Stahlrim, but if I don't then I won't worry about it anymore. Especially if what I can do like the other guy said and just use the console to give me the ability to smith with it if I need to.

You don't need a quest to get Stalhrim. Go up the west coast past the Water stone then head east and jump the river, See the White cave? Go to your left and there is an open crypt full of Stalhrim.

Getting it wasn't the issue. The issue was being able to smith with it and I was thinking I had to do the Quest line in order to do so since the Smith that goes missing is supposed to teach you at the end how to smith with the stuff.
