How to wait?
Russell Lewis
time (so that Creeper can respawn his money, for instance).
I know how to sleep...and I know that I can just leave the game running
an consume the game-hours (slowly). Is there some quick way to wait 24
hours or so (without sleeping) that I've missed?

Creeper need 24 hours, but in the real world that's only a few seconds

Thanks! Problem is, I'm on the Xbox. Can I do it?

Don't know. What you could do is set a Mark by Creeper, go about your
business for a day, then Recall back after 24 hours. Alternatively,
leave a Mark whereever you are, then cast Almsivi or Divine
intervention to get near a Mage's Guild and Guild to Caldera. Then
you can Recall back to where you left off.

Resting and waiting use the same button, the only difference is your
location. Resting is done in beds and outside city limits, Waiting is
only done within the city limits, excluding beds.
When you try to rest in the city, the will be a message to the effect:
"You cannot rest within city limits" and below it will say "wait n hours"
With the creeper, I usually just stash the extra stuff and do a some
more questing while I wait for the 24 hours to pass.

Checked carefully this morning. Turns out that when you Rest in a town,
the option automatically changes to "Wait." But it tells you "resting
is illegal, find a bed," so I hadn't tried it. I thought that it would
give me a bounty :( Instead, it turns out that it works just like the
'T' key on the PC, as far as I can tell.
I still can't wait when enemies are nearby (which is a pain when I need
to recharge enchanted items), but I can live with that. The most common
times I need to rest are either when I'm selling to Creeper/Mudcrab or
when I'm waiting to recharge my Strength amulet. I can use my Almsivi
Intervention Ring to get to a town and rest...er, wait. :)

When I began to get lots of daedric weapons, I got bored with all the
waiting and I decided to give Creeper more money.
I just opened the construction set, looked up Creeper, saw where it
says "5,000" so that was obviously the money he has, and changed it to
1,000,000 (one million). Or I may have changed it to five million, I'm
not sure now. Either way, I've never had to wait ever since, I can
sell him all my stuff at once.
There has never been any negative side effects on the game. He still
gives you (full value plus 10 per cent) for your stuff, and you can
still buy stuff off him for (full value minus ten percent plus one),
same as usual.
Hope this helps

I tried the Back button, and it brings up the menus, just like B. Maybe
that changed the Back button in the GOTY edition (I'm playing the original)?

I presume that this is on the PC? I don't think that this is possible
on the Xbox version. If it is, I want to know how! :)

Sorry, I should have been much clearer on that point. It's not
possible to change anything in the X-Box version, but you can do
practically anything with the PC version.
Rest/wait
buttons on my machines
Morrowind on X-Box: Right bumper ( just above the right trigger)
Oblivion on the X-Box: Back button
Morrowind and Oblivion on the PC: "T" button
Hope this helps

In all my games I never succeeded in finding Mudcrab despiteusing
various spoiler sites.
My last few games I used a home built mod that gave Creeper 50000 gold
which quickly solved my money problems and let me get on with the
game. Given the bug/feature that let you build up alchemists'
inventories (I usuallybuilt them up to exactly 100 each) you could buy
all the reagants you needed to quickly get your intelligence up to 100
by alchemy.
Once you got to make fortify intelligence potions, you could cascade
them to get your intelligence to absurd levels - I once got mine to
100000 which makes your potions super-powerful. Getting your luck to
1000 is lots of fun but breaks the game - you NEVER fail opening
chests and can kill most things in one or two blows.

I eventually found the mudcrab merchant once after a hard search. Then I
thought "He's so far away and so hard to get to that it's not worth the
trouble. I'll stick to Creeper. I've bought a house in Caldera (via
Indybank mod) which has a transport ring associated with it, so I can
easioly get to Caldera from anywhere whenever I want to. If I have
expensive things to sell, I just wait 24 hours and Creeper has his money
all ready for the next sale.
