The Mace of Disruption is fairly hidden, I can't remember if Cromwell even comments on it, but I really doubt he tells you that it takes Illithium to improve it.

One of the subtle clues that the MoD is special is it's unique picture. No other mace uses the same item picture, so you know that there's something special about it...

If you go to Cromwell with the mace he will tell you that if you can find illuthium he will upgrade the mace so that aspect isn't hidden.

Ahh...that's for correcting me. As I now always have the illithium stashed in a barrel outside of cromwell's well before I get the MoD, I never run into that dialogue anymore.

Not only that, but if you have the ore, and not the mace, he'll tell you that too.

Correction: If you talk to Cromwell with the just the Mace in your inventory, he will NOT mention it at all. He will only talk about upgrade potential if you have the Illithium in your pack.

Funny cause he does that in my game SoS *LOL* I didn´t do the Sarless quest and therefore no illithium...but went to Cromwell concerning another matter...the Gesen bow I think...couldnt remember how many parts on it...but anyhow he went rambling on about upgrading the MoD with illithium...maybe a bug?

That's also what happened in my game I think, I had the mace but no illithium but Cromwell mentioned it could be upgraded. Memory is a bit fuzzy though so I could be wrong.

Cromwell has never paid the slightest bit of attention to the plain Mace in any of my games. Perhaps you have Item Upgrades installed, and Weimer wrote in a mention of the Mace as a part of the Azuredge conversation option?

Question Mark

I have played through the artist thing several times without knowing that the ore was used for anything other tha Sir Sarles. If you just have the mace - he doesnt mention it - the first time I walked in with the ore he mentioned it when rummaging through my pack. It appears, like the assembly of the super hammer, you must have a certain key component for him notice its "nifty nature"

Bow to the meow
