The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles Hints

Earil's Inventory

  • 1 of 8: Earil in the "Earil's Mysteries" shop in New Sheoth's Crucible district will have three random magic jewelry items in his inventory, each of which can be top-level items like the Amulet of Axes, the Mundane Ring, etc. if you're level 20 or higher.
  • 2 of 8: His inventory periodically changes, so check back with him frequently (every couple of days) to see if he has anything you want.
  • 3 of 8: Unfortunately, you can't just save your game outside his shop and keep entering, checking his inventory, and restoring your save until you get what you want.
  • 4 of 8: However, if you're outside the Crucible district and it's been a couple of days since you've been inside it, you can save your game, fast-travel to the Crucible district and check Earil's inventory, and then restore and try again if he doesn't have anything you want.
  • 5 of 8: Or if you're in the Crucible district, you can go outside through its SE gates, wait two days of game time using the Rest menu, then quicksave and go check Earil's inventory.
  • 6 of 8: That usually works, anyway. If it doesn't seem to, you may need to wait outside a couple more days and try again.
  • 7 of 8: If you can get it to work, Earil can be your one-stop shopping place for all of your random Reflect Damage items or whatever cool magic jewelry items you really want.
  • 8 of 8: Just be sure to have plenty of money already saved up so you can buy an item you want when he has it. If you have to wait to get more money, his inventory will probably have changed by the time you get back to him.
