Savior's Hide and Ring of Hircine?
There are a lot of outdated videos and threads about how they managed to obtain both artifacts (Savior's Hide and the Non-cursed Ring of Hircine) in the quest 'Ill met by moonlight'. I've tried as many methods as I can find, yet none seem to work. Below are some of the methods I found from a website. Listed beneath each method is the result in my save game.
  • PC/360/PS3: Kill all the hunters, speak to Sinding, go outside the grotto and claim the Ring of Hircine, then go back in and kill Sinding to get his skin. The spirit will reappear from Sinding's corpse and offer the Savior's Hide.

    After re-entering the cave, killing Sinding does not allow me to skin him, just procedes to empty invetory as if I'm looting him.

  • PC/360/PS3: If the above doesn't work, kill and skin Sinding immediately after killing the hunters and talking to him. As soon as the Hircine spirit appears, back out of the conversation and run out of the grotto where the White Stag spirit will appear and bless the ring to break the curse. Return to the grotto and resume conversation with the Hircine spirit to receive the Savior's Hide.

    The Aspect of Hircine that provides you with the Savior's Hide is non-interactable, he won't speak a word.

  • PC: A further way that can work to receive both rewards (if the first method results in not being able to skin Sinding upon return and the second method results in a non-speaking Aspect of Hircine in the grotto upon return) is to kill the hunters, kill Sinding near the exit, complete the conversation quickly to claim the Savior's Hide and then sprint to the exit to claim the Ring outside.

    Two things happen depending on what I do after I kill Sinding and talk to the human Aspect of Hircine; If I choose a dialogue option and quickly exit the cave before he can finish the Moose/Stag Aspect of Hircine will force me into dialogue beginning with "Well met again, Hunter" and then walk off closing the dialogue, becoming non-interactable while I recieve the Savior's hide from the previous conversation no matter how fast I am. Second result is that I let the human Aspect of Hircine finish before exiting the cave and once I exit to Skyrim the Stag/Moose Hircine is gone.

  • PC/PS3/360: Leave the grotto along with Sinding after killing the hunters. When the Stag spirit appears, back out of the conversation and kill Sinding, then skin him and speak with the spirit emerging from his corpse for the Savior's Hide. Speak to the Stag spirit again for the ring.

    Sinding won't leave the grotto.

I've managed to get the Cursed Ring of Hircine and the Savior's Hide but not the non-cursed ring and the Savior's hide, which I'm going for. Also, I have the Unofficial Skyrim Patch and I don't know if the base game patched it or the mod did. If one fellow current player has a work around besides using the console to spawn it in it would be greatly appreciated to leave it in a response down below.

http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Ill_Met_By_Moonlight here are some more tips that might work. you seem to be missing the chest /follower part.

Alternitively you could just give the missing item to your self with a console command...

The Unoffical Patch fixes this bug, that's why.

That's right. I had gotten both during a game right before installing the patch and had to start a new one due to a new mod. I added the patch in as well, and when it came time to get both artifacts again I couldn't do it. After a minute or two of looking it up on the uesp wiki I found out the only way I can now get both is to use the console command and add whichever one I didn't earn to my inventory.

I hope it will help someone.

Kill hunters, save game and exit then turn off The Unoffical Patch in mod organizer. Next load the game, talk to Sinding and leave cave to talk with Hircine. After you will get ring go back kill Sinding, take his skin and Hircine give you Savior's Hide.
Finally just save again turn on patch in MO and be happy with both items :)

Absolutely do not do this, as it will break your save! One, disabling mods will break the save, and second, re-enabling them will break it further, as the game now sees it as two instance of the same mod, and the data will conflict. See the following for a full explanation:
