    12 minutes! Holy moly, thats substantially longer than I ever bothered doing. In the end, I figured picking up a staff of dread zombies in Solstheim was preferable to doing that entire quest line over again. I freaking hate that quest. I've done it so many times...

    Its up to the player, however, as I'm sure the Spriggan will still call wildlife using the stone. Thematically, I like the idea of a Druid with a staff in his hands, but its still a good point. I'll update the guide with some new information tomorrow.

    Its actually not tedious at all. All you have to do is turn around every 6 minutes and smack your Spriggan. Theres also a staff enchanter where you're guaranteed a copy of the staff.

    If its the permanent corpse exploit thats putting you off then you can skip it. Its completely optional. All you need to know about it is that if you drop a certain quest item (such as one of the numerous "Letter from a friend"s) that you obtain on the corpse, then it never disappears.

    Actually, I'm not going to add in the Ritual Stone exploit. Everyone knows about it already, and its not like I invented it or anything. If you want to go get a bear army, then by all means do so. I just want to keep this post to things that I personally discovered.

    That's cool, I understand. Just looking for alternative methods. Obtaining 100% Fortify Conjuration sounds tougher than the Aetherial Quest to me though :) Good call on the Spriggan though! It's definitely got the potential to be a CB

    Man, I should really choose my words more effectively. The 100 % reduction is just a little trick I did to make it easier on myself, not something thats necessary. If you have even 50% reduction and 60 skill then you'll hardly ever run out of charge. I just happened to already have 100 enchanting on my archmage character, so I gave him a pseudo-questline to turn him into a druid. Pretty fun.

    And character building isn't really for me. I just wanted to share this trick I thought I found. I guess it really is easier to do if you have an established mage character. More of an Epic Destiny like in DnD than a character build.

    Wow, thats actually a really good idea. Someone should introduce the concept of an Epic Destiny into the CB group!!! There could be, like, skill and quest requirements. And a level requirement. 

    It would be a whole heck of a lot more efficient than creating a new character again from scratch. With an Epic Destiny you could skip the boring early levels that all play the same anyway.

    That could usher in a whole new wave of creativity into the CB group. You should totally do that Alastor. Anyway, you can have this druid trick to do whatever you like with it. This is as far as I'll take it.

    I knew Voice of the Sky held a greater purpose.

    "I never use Dead Thrall on anything except humans"

    I thought dead thrall could only be used on humans?

    Yes. Only humans. The other good alternative for this(using aetherial crown) is ritual stone, which also doesn't turn to ash. The bad part would be trash mobs, but can be fixed with a decapitation :P
