tapestry scraps

fenikx

i've found 15 different tapestry scraps but i can't find out how to combine them to a real tapestry. Anyone have a clue?

dcam86b14_ESO

once you unearth them all it will auto combine or at least mine did.

Veinblood1965

Same mine auto-combined.

fenikx

thanks for the answer. I thought it would do so, but with mine, perhaps something went wrong for i can't find a tapestry called. Blackwood tapestry. I will try with another char. Have a nice day

I've been all over and I've only found three of these, and they were total accidents. I only noticed them because a prompt came up on my screen. Is there some kind of strategy or do you really have to stick your nose into every nook and cranny?

Yup you got to stick your nose in every.....or you could cheat like I did.

I am missing one part but can not find it because it won't show on my minimap,maybe it is in some delve or public dungeon,I don't know.

There was one deep in a cave. No door or loading screen. Just an open cave. I think it was by a statue inside. This one was the hardest one for me to find because an addon showed it on the map outside the cave. Confused the heck out of me. I had to Google where to find it.

I prefer not to look things up. I'd rather they made it fun for us by providing some kind of clue, like they've done with past relic hunts. But even those have been dodgy of late. I still haven't found all the musical instruments in W. Skyrim.

I found one behind a worship statue in a Sul-xan cave, the one that's a passage from one side of a mountain to another, with a rope bridge over a stream. It's a good thing I always look behind stuff for things like chests. But again I wouldn't have even seen it if my mouse-over hadn't brought up an interaction prompt.

Even using the map I linked it is still hard to find them. Just knowing where they are is not enough. Depending on the time of day and your In Game Brightness settings it may be VERY hard to see the glow. Just thought I would throw that out there, so yes it's hard to find them naturally.

whitecrow

They glow?? Another I found in a small cave on the westernmost edge of the map (in the region of Borderwatch) and it was night, and I don't think I saw anything.

Yeah I think they do but it's very hard to see, pretty much have to go in to 1st person view and even then it's hard to see.

Note: I play on PS5 and have brightness all the way up. The dark can still be hard to see now for me, it was slightly better on PS4 with the same Brightness Level, not now.....

So if you play on PC, no idea how that may or not help.

whitecrow

Yeah I play on PC. Next time I find one I'll try to really look at it. I tend to hit E right away as soon as there's a prompt, so I'm not sure a visual even registered with me.

Yup pretty much how I found most of them, just looking all over for the prompt lol.

whitecrow

Ok, I just found the one south of White Stallion Inn. There was definitely no glow, just what looked like a blue rag on the ground.

I think the only "relic" collectibles I've found all the fragments for have been in Vvardenfell and Northern Elsweyr. Those were the only ones I actively pursued, for whatever reason. Oh, and I finally just completed the Precursor the other week.

The ones in the other zones, I'm just finding the pieces as I come across them during normal gameplay, instead of actively hunting for them. I figure I'll go hunt them down eventually, but I'm okay with saving each one for whenever I get a wild hair and decide to make that collectible my project for the night.

Using add-ons, websites, or mobile apps to go directly to them and grab them seems too contrary to their whole purpose. TBH I'm not above using a website or app to look up the location of a lore book or treasure chest that I'm having trouble finding, so I'm sure I'll do the same with the relic fragments. But I'd rather use those only as a last resort, not as a sort of SOP.

This isn't like other DLC collections. You aren't finding scraps, you're finding the LEADS to the scraps. If you don't have the Antiquities skill line you cant excavate them and can't combine them. It's an insulting change locking it behind an unrelated chapter.

Sylvermynx

Once you've dug all the leads and they combine to make the tapestry itself, it's not in inventory, it's in Collectables/Furnishings/General (I'm not in game right now so I might have those words wrong).

Ironically, this is the only one I've found on my own.

I get zero satisfaction from looking these things up. So I have the thing now, great. However, I do get a really nice feeling from figuring stuff out. Ever since I was a kid I've always loved puzzles that involved finding hidden things.

I won't lie; if I've tried my best and spent an inordinately long amount of time working on it and am genuinely stumped, I may look it up. But I'd rather not.

I've completed all the hunts up to W. Skyrim, as I find Nel's Hidden Loves to be extremely unhelpful. I may have found one or two things from clues there, but most I came across in my travels, or being aware that each delve would contain one, and looking round till I found it.

These hunts have been one of my favorite things about each expansion, but Blackwood's is really half-assed. Not to mention that they're only leads, when the scrap is lying right there...

As far as "unhelpful" clues, I've found that many of the hints for skyshards can be difficult to get-- until you find them, and then the hint (usually) makes sense in hindsight.

Riddles and puzzles can be like that, and sometimes the answer dawns on you when you're doing something else entirely, as though it were percolating in the back of your mind, or maybe you happened to see something while watching TV or a movie, or read something in a book, etc., that registered on your brain until you happened to put 2 and 2 together and suddenly make a connection to something you'd been struggling to figure out.

But until you suddenly figure out the clue, riddle, puzzle, etc., it can be extremely frustrating to try to solve it-- and it seems like the harder you try, the more difficult it is, like some blacksmith's puzzle that you can't pull apart by brute force, but if you just relax and shift and turn the pieces without any effort then the puzzle will just sort of fall apart by itself.

I remember the days before the internet when some companies sold little hint books for their games, with answers you could read by using a sort of yellow highlighter that would reveal invisible text. The revealed text would go from being a cryptic clue or hint, to a more obvious clue or hint, to the blatant answer, so you could get as much help as you felt you needed without any unwanted spoilers.

I remember playing one of the King's Quest games and being really frustrated by not being able to get into a locked wardrobe or something, and I was griping about it to a friend. He told me where the key was, and it was somewhere really obvious in hindsight, but I hadn't thought of it on my own. I started griping about how game developers loved to come up with puzzles that seemed intended to stump you for days or weeks before you happened to think of the answer. He responded by saying that "Someone once told me that the puzzles in these games seem designed to force people to buy the hint books that the companies are selling"-- which was something that I'd said to him a week or two earlier.

I usually don't have trouble finding the skyshards, but this time there are two I have not yet located--the last two on the list. It used to be the clues seemed to point to the name of a location in many cases, and you could look at the map, but this time they seem to be more vague as well.

I remember those hint books! I had one for The Lurking Horror, my favorite Infocom text adventure. (Those games were my favorites! I wish they'd come back into fashion.)

And yay, I just came upon another scrap honestly, and it felt good! I knew there had to be something in that broken down stilt house out on the water all on its own...

Sylvermynx

Yeah, when I found that one, I also found a Master chest....

There is no glow. All you get is the prompt. A few of the scraps have a bright colored section. Sadly, none of those are the ones just lying on the dirt someplace random. I have made the tapestry, and I could not find all the pieces myself, I did have to use a map. I'm happy to give hints that aren't complete giveaways.

It's a collectible not a single furnishing @fenikx , if that helps.

whitecrow

Has anyone actually found all of them without looking them up? I've still only got 9 and I think I've been everywhere.

Are they all outside or are any in delves or closed buildings?

SydneyGrey

One is inside a deep cave where there are some bandits (Argonians, I think), on the lower right-side of the map. The cave isn't marked, so it's hard to find. I think it's somewhere near the Vulnalk Wayshrine, as I remember. I think that's the only one that isn't overland. Even when you're inside, it's still hard to find because it's stuck behind a structure of some sort. Maybe an altar.

whitecrow

Yeah that's the Sul-Xan cave I mentioned above.
