Archmage in the Telvanni Great House

Submitted by Kermet on

The option for becoming an Archmage is not available in the Telvanni questline.  It is possible to just advance to Master, but I cannot figure out how to become a Magister so I may challenge the Archmage.  Its not a huge deal but if anyone has any ideas for it, that would be great!

Thanks,

Kermet

Do you reach the stats requirements for Archmage?

My Alteration is 93, and I have a 69 conjuration and a 43 illusion, so I can't figure out what my problem is.

Hmmm how can I see, in original Morrowind was that bug, maybe it comes to the morroblivon too

Telvanni Master 'Bug'

The bug/feature occurs when you try to advance to the last rank in the House and are told you cannot. It is supposed to start when you advance from the rank of Wizard when speaking to Master Aryon (in Tel Vos), use topic Magister:
I can grant you the rank of Master now. That will give you an equal place on the Telvanni Council. But if you aspire to a higher claim, I can also grant you the title of Magister. By accepting the title of Magister, you are announcing that you deserve the title of Archmagister more than Gothren who currently holds that rank. Which will it be?

However, some people have mentioned that they have problems advancing to Archmagister even if they did not choose to have the one time advance to Master, which leaves them stuck at the rank of Magister. This problem comes from getting too many advancements. In particular, when you ask for advancement after you are a spellwright, but before you have recruited a Mouth, Master Aryon will promote you to Wizard. Then when you recruit your mouth, you'll be advanced to Master, and the game will assume you didn't want to be magister.

If you have the patch, an expansion, or Game of the Year Edition, there is a way around this. Speak to Aryon again (topic Magister again).
You have foresworn the title of Magister... But perhaps you have changed your mind. Will you fight Archmagister Gothren and claim the title as your own?

You should choose to fight Gothren, kill him, and return to Aryon to be named as the Archmagister.

The last option for those playing the PC version of the game is to use the console. Open the console using the ~ tilde key and enter the command:
PCRaiseRank "Telvanni" (I don't know would it works in Morrobl or not)

Sorry for resurrecting an old topic, but this is the only reference I find for 'PCRaiseRank'.

During Skink-In-Tree's 'Deliver the Letter quest' I seem to not be able to be advanced to ArchMage  unless I use the console command 'PCRaiseRank' which does not exist in Oblivion.  I just completed the quest (setstage 100) to move on.

Is this a real issue, or am I just causing my own private problems? <--(provides an easy-out for flippant answers)

Are you talking about Morrowind or Morroblivion? Oblivion doesn't have PCRaiseRank command, it uses SetFactionRank.

If your issue is with Morroblivion, please describe it more specifically.
