Use the Gray Fox' Cowl of Nocturnal without being Arrested
(This only applies to those that have completed the Thieves guild quest line)
Once you have completed the Thieves guild quest line you will receive the Gray Cowl of Nocturnal which gives you really sweet powers.
These powers include: life detection for 120 feet, feathering your inventory by 200 or allowing you to carry 200 more units of items, add 25 points to your sneak score, give you another identity to which you can complete quests for, allowing you to use another identity to murder people in plain daylight or commit any crime and then take it off and only the Gray Fox will have the bounty not you, and lead the Thieves guild.
Sounds pretty good right - but the one bad thing about this cowl is that it automatically gives you a 500 gold bounty making the guards chase after you wherever you go in a town.
To gain the powers of the Gray Fox and use his Cowl of Nocturnal in the cities without being arrested by the guards - and to gain the power of invisibility to hide yourself from monsters and attacks without losing the full effect:
There are several steps to do this, listed below.
- Join the Mages Guild in any major city.
- Go to each Mages' guild hall in each of the major cities and complete the tasks you have assigned to you.
- Once you have completed recommendations for the cities of Bruma, Cheydinhal, Skingrad, Anvil, Leyawin, and Bravil you will gain access to the Arcane University in the Imperial City.
- Proceed to the Arcane University in the Imperial City.
- Within the Arcane University find the building called the Praxographical Center.
- Head to one of the Spell making stands (you must know a life detection spell) choose the effect of light and choose the lowest magical use and money cost available for making the spell and create it.
- Equip the low magicka use spell and change the input setting on your television so you can watch TV while doing this. ( if you're using a computer you are going to get really bored.)
- Keep clicking down on the right bumper or spell casting key multiple times for about half an hour.
- Change the input setting back to your game and observe your illusion level go up. When your illusion skill level is at least 50 you can proceed with the next step.
- You will know be able to cast Journeyman level spells and use Journeyman level affects like Chameleon.
- Buy a spell from one of the Mages' guild halls that has an affect of chameleon and with your raised illusion level you will be able to cast it.
- Acquire 5 grand soul gems with a grand soul level from the Mystic Emporium in the Market District of the Imperial City.
- Go to any armor shops in the many cities and gain 5 pieces of armor that are light armor which will include a ring, fur gauntlets, a fur cuirass, fur boots, and light armor greaves. (no helmets or heavy armor)
- Go to the Arcane University and proceed to the Chrinousium building.
- Head to an altar of enchanting and use each grand soul gem and one of the pieces of armor you acquired. Choose the effect of chameleon, if you don’t have this effect either check your illusion level and make sure its 50 or make sure you have bought a spell with chameleon as an effect.
- Enchant each item with a chameleon effect which should give each item an effect of 20% chameleon.
- Repeat for all items until all 5 items have enchanted.
- Put on all pieces of armor and congratulations! You are now totally invisible and able to bypass people, guards, and monsters.
- If you have the Grey Cowl of Nocturnal put it on and wear it proudly as no guards will chase you and if you attack people while invisible they will not attack back or they will simply run away.
