Stuck with Elder Scrolls picked up in Dawnguard.

[Tiny Trees]

Dear Steam folks, sorry I am stuck with this, even after looking up online what to do.

I know I can sell the used Elder Scrolls once the Dawngard quest is finshed. However I do not know if it is wise to sell them.

This thread explains which quests are related to which Elder Scroll. Though it does not explain you need the Dragon Elder Scroll to learn the shout to call the dragon.

These three links exaplain each scroll individually.
The Dragon Elder Scroll.

However I do not have a marker for the quest where you take it to Throat of the World. I think I have the quest.

Both the Sun and Blood Elder Scrolls are described in this way on the follwoing links.
"Unseen VisionsEdit
The Dragonborn is required to read the Elder Scroll at Ancestor Glade in order to locate Auriel's Bow."
http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Elder_Scroll_(Blood)
http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Elder_Scroll_(Sun)

I can not remember which scroll I read at Ancestor Glade. I can't remember if I was given instruction to read a prticular one, but I think I was.

1. Does it mean either Blood or Sun work for that?
2. Should I hold onto the scrolls? Or should I sell Blood and Sun, as there is no further mention of quests with them. Then just keep Dragon until I can work out how to get to Mouth of the World.
3. I wouldn't even know where Mouth of the World is unless I googled it. Is there something else I must do to trigger a map marker. I have been to the Soul Cairn, and been given the quest about learn the dragon shout, and call him. Just no map marker, so maybe it's bugged.

By the way I have the shout to summon Durnehuiir. Only it does not work.

I'm not sure what you're asking. It seems english might a secondary language to you.

If you're asking what order to read the dragonscrolls for dawnguard, if you have all three scrolls in your inventory, it's blood first. If you're missing one (which is likely Dragon), head to the college of winterhold and talk to the Orc in the library there.

If it's that you already have the scrolls and don't want to sell them: hit the tilde key on your keyboard, type "player.modav carryweight 60" without the quote marks.

This will increase your max carry weight equal to the weight of the three elder scrolls.

If you don't want to use console commands, sell it to the guy in the college of winterhold library for 2k gold.

Quest items do not add to your carry weight, even though your inventory gives them a weight.

I have all three scrolls, and I think I have finished the Dawnguard Quest. Is it competed when Lord Harkon is defeated, (as I have done)?

@Kabacus, I will check that. I wiil make a save and sell the scrolls and see. I watched a youtube vid where the player showed he regained carry weight after selling. There is also the Moth Priest's Knife too which has weight five.

[Kabacus]

After completing the Dawnguard quest I have never found any other use for Sun and Blood other than to make the Moth Priest happy. The other scroll will be needed to complete the main quest, you will be allowed to visit the throat of the world when the time is right, it will appear on the map when you have access though you won’t need the map to get there.

The priest knife isn't a quest item. I am trying to upload a screenshot that demonstrates the lack of weight but the cloud is playing up.

[Kabacus]

A quick check would be to save your game, drop everything that you can, you will be left with scrolls, keys and some other bits (unusual gems maybe) then look at how much weight is used. Then just reload from the save made before you dropped everything.

[greyghostvol1]

Are you sure the scrolls are actually taking all 60 carry weight though?

I'd double check if I where you, just to make sure. If they are adding substantial weight, like I said, if you don't want to completely get rid of them just use the console command to add the weight you're lossing by having them.

[Kabacus]

Yes I am sure, I still cannot upload a screenshot, try what I suggested with dropping everything. You cannot drop quest items and your carry weight will go to zero. By using your console command you are gifting yourself extra capacity.

EDIT: Finally got the screenie uploaded

you need all 3 elder scrolls for Dawnguard's questline, and only the Blood Elder Scroll for Skyrim's main questline. After they are done, you can sell all 3 after those questlines are done. They weight nothing in your inventory, even thou it says 20 per scroll.

[Kabacus]

Dragon is required for the main quest (as well as Dawnguard)

I think this is the difinitive point really. I was just getting bogged down looking to see if I needed to keep them anymore. When I read one in Ancestor Glade, plus the Dragon one we need, it left me wondering about the third.

Had the case been different someone will say.

Yep I have been to the Moth Priest at Dawnguard and sold Sun and Blood, and my weight is the same. Thank you Trigger and Kabacus.

I didn't try the drop everything as I tried the other method, and it was quicker. Funny though that the guy on youtube says he regained weight. This is the youtube link I watched.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gU3AL9bWckY

He makes the mistake saying he has reduced weight of items carried at 1.44.

However his inventory shows he has not re-gained any carry capacity. He has the same 223 weight in items carried at 0.47 before he sells the Elder Scroll. As he has at 1.44 after he sells it.

Sorry I didn't get back a little sooner. I had hot food on the table.

It's just a quick work around. I understand some people being completely averse towards using console commands, but you're "gifting" yourself anything the game didn't take away from you cause of a bug.

Yep sorry I forgot to thank you for this. I was terribly confused why I could not learn the word to summon Durnehuiir. No quest makers to do it. Yet I have the shout that call but no dragon appears.

The Moth Priest's Knife is confusing too as it is a quest item. However if like me you use it straight away, it becomes an ex-quest item. While there is the opportuninty to sell it after using it for the first time, I was not sure I should.

[Tiny Trees]

One last converstaion that confused me about the Elder Scrolls was one with Septimus Signus. I was only half listening at teh time, but I clicked a response that said,"What do you want with an Elder Scroll." Therefor I wondered if we needed one for further dealings with him. I forgot double check while I had them. Never mind.

[Tiny Trees]

I am a bit worried though because I still seem to be carrying too much weight.

Before I got the scroll I had about 220 in items to carry. Now I have about 275. Yet I have been slowly off-loading weight since.

I wonder if the carry weight is bugged. I have seen that before. Where I sell a ring and lose about 8 weight.

I still have the Dragon Elder Scroll left. I hope I get my weight down again once that's gone. I am sure I have looked everywhere to see if I have collected more stuff to carry; but no.
