Did you lose the 2nd one you need to complete quest, normally with enchanting at lower levels you need a TA rune also. Or it could be in bank? But that depends where you keep your materials.

Also on other one if you can't drop quest then you may have to buy from guild store for material.

BigM

Drop quest then retake it, problem solved.

VIOLENT-HAZE

how do you drop quest?

VIOLENT-HAZE

ok so, i did the enchanting one this time and i made the glyph of health...but it doesnt say i have completed the quest on the screen, but it did when i made it...wtf

You will find flowers all over the place, particularly when you're not looking for them. Although the ones that the tutorial quest directs you to should respawn quite quickly so you can pick them again. Once you have created whatever it is you need to create, you need to talk to Danel Telleno again to show him it and get your certification.

Enchanting writs usually require you to craft a certain glyph and obtain a certain rune. The rune MUST be in your bag, not your bank for it to count.

I have never seen the mats from the writ training quests respawn, and I actually looked for them, reloaded etc. to see if they would. On one occasion I dropped the quest (my quest log was full) and when I took it again I did not get the mats to collect. I would think this is to avoid an exploit where we could drop the quest repeatedly and keep gathering the mats. This is true for all the writ training quests.

Columbine and Mountain flower are common in mountainous areas, Nyrnroot and Water Hyacinth near water, the mushrooms grow at the base of trees, etc.

For both the alchemy and the enchanting writs - first off look very carefully at the exact wording of the writ. If it says "dram of health" a "sip of health" won't work, and vise versa (yes, @VIOLENT-HAZE its the water).

For the enchanting writ, if it asks for a trifling glyph of health and you craft a moderate glyph of health - it won't work. In this case it's the ... oh heck the square one that determines the modifier.

To complete the quest you have to deliver the item(s) to the depot which will be in the same zone as the quest, which will be the same zone as your X/9 passive (so if you have 1/9 in the top alchemy passive, and you are DC, you will be delivering in Daggerfall).

BigM

Never happened to me where I didn't find and finish quest. But i will try it later and see if going back to quest giver then gives me where I can harvest them again. Betting he tells me to get from guild store.

Happens all the time the other day blessed thistle was what I had to find couldn't find them anywhere and now swimming in them.
I would recommend using a skill point in alchemy there is a perk that makes all materials glow so they are easier to spot

I think it was a glitch, cause I had the same thing happen to me. But yes, use a skill point on alchemy, I've got ton of flowers now and finally got the quest to work correctly.

Where you're directed to go for the Quest doesn't regenerate the flowers. I stuffed it up too and I've been back 3 days in a row - several times per day - and they've never appeared again.

I took the Alchemy Glow Skill and it's very handy - but I still can't find a damned Columbine

Tarukmockto

Columbine is a very small red plant low to the ground. It is fairly valuable so quite sought after. Read that is always looted! They tend to be hidden near or among other red flowers to make them very hard to see. Just keep looking and eventually you will score some.

newtinmpls

Wow, I have on occasion found alchemy plants in containers, but not yet Columbine.

Zephyr01

I finally found one so I've completed the Quest.

I think so yes. :-) You doing these too?

newtinmpls

I don't craft on all my characters, and even the ones I do, I don't have time (or organizational skills) to do every day. But mostly I at least do the beginning of all the types of writs on all of them; nice set up 'just in case' for later.

This is an old thread but people still do crafting certifications. When you are doing the certification quest for alchemy it will give you three quest markers to go find the ingredients for a sip of health. The quest markers will lead you to natural water, columbine, and mountain flower. Some people mess up and eat the flowers before doing the quest and then can't find any more. Others craft the potion before going back and talking to Danel and so @198MB88when it's time to create the potion in the quest line, your ingredients are used. However, columbine and mountain flower are not the only ingredient combination that can be used to make a health potion. If you somehow use up your ingredients before you're supposed to, I've listed other combinations here.

Remember he's asking for a SIP of health. To make a SIP of anything requires natural water, so make sure you use NATURAL water.

Other combinations to go with the water:

Blue Entoloma & Butterfly Wing
Blue Entoloma & Columbine
Blue Entoloma & Luminous Russula
Blue Entoloma & Mountain Flower
Blue Entoloma & Water Hyacinth
Bugloss & Butterfly Wing
Bugloss & Luminous Russula
Bugloss & Mountain Flower
Bugloss & Water Hyacinth
Butterfly Wing & Columbine
Butterfly Wing & Luminous Russula
Butterfly Wing & Mountain Flower
Butterfly Wing & Water Hyacinth
Columbine & Luminous Russula
Columbine & Water Hyacinth
Luminous Russula & Water Hyacinth
Mountain Flower & Water Hyacinth

So if you use up the stuff you collected at the quest markers, see if you have any of these other ingredients. As long as the end result is a sip of health you will fulfill the requirements of the quest.

While most people will probably come in here bashing about this being a necro post, I'm always encouraged when I see people actually searching and/or looking through old posts to see if a "new" topic is actually something that's been around for ages.

And, let's be honest, even old crafting conundrums will continue to arise from time to time when new players start the game for the first time.
