Guide: Drain Attribute

  • October 1, 2015

    Drain Attribute is one of the hardest spells to obtain for Spell Making so I decided to put together short guide on how to obtain it.

    There are several ways:

    • The Orc Berserk Greater Power

    • Completing the quest Repairing the Orrery from Orrery official plug-in

    • Completing The Blessing of Talos from Knigths of the Nine official plug-in

    • During the quest The Addiction from the Shivering Isles expansion when the player suffers from Felldew Withdrawal

    The fifth option is using this glitch:

    1. Become infected with a Disease that has a Drain Attribute effect, in other words, with any disease except Astral Vapors or Porphyric Hemophilia.

    2. Save your game without curing yourself of the disease.

    3. Load a game with an Orc character. If you have never played an Orc, simply start a brand new game and choose Orc as the race for the new character. As soon as you have exited the character creation screen you can proceed to the next step.

    4. Load the saved game from step 2.

    5. Go to any spellmaking or enchanting altar and the Drain Attribute effect will now be available. Make a cheap custom spell using Drain Attribute to ensure that the effect remains available for future use.

    6. Cure your character's disease.
