No. –RpehTCE 03:56, 3 December 2008 (EST)

Enchantments[edit]

(moved from the article)
  • Calvus will gain bonuses from constant effect items. For reasons unknown, these enchantments become null when the character picks something up. Reequip to fix.

Moved because it doesn't make any sense. Pick what up? The things Calvus is wearing? –RpehTCE 03:56, 3 December 2008 (EST)

I could not reproduce this bug. Be specific now, which enchantments became "null" and how? Lukish_ Tlk Cnt 08:35, 5 December 2008 (EST)
He probably though this: Lets say Calvus wears Ebony Mail. When you first equip him via Companion Share then close him, he will have magic Shield.
When he starts combat he will have his shield present, but after he ends combat (sword hides) shield is gone.
But when he enters to combat mode /afterwards/, shield is active again. - This must /should/ be fixed! User:janmojzis 6 January 2009

Contract Renewal[edit]

Is it possible to re-hire him after the 30 days have expired? -Itachi 14:47, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Turns out it is! -Itachi 15:13, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Sharing[edit]

Is Calvus the only NPC in Morrowind that has a Companion Share?--Arch-Mage MattTalk 01:09, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Without mods, yes. — Unsigned comment by 94.15.182.253 (talk) at 17:43 on 12 January 2011

Magic Items[edit]

Calvus made use of quite a few constant effect magick equipment I gave him. Followed me with a constant effect water walking amulet nd also used shield and possibly sanctuary. Constant effect summoned creature equipment and constant restore health didnt work at all. — Unsigned comment by 24.168.28.32 (talk) at 01:27 on 4 July 2010

It says that Calvus will not use scrolls. However, I gave him some scrolls of Illnea's Breath and shield and he used them all. Is this tested? — Unsigned comment by 74.101.192.81 (talk) at 17:35 on 5 September 2013

Karrod Duel Bug?[edit]

I've been going through the Tribunal MQ and I've gotten to the stage where I need to duel Karrod. I've waited the 24 hours, but wherever I leave Calvus, Helseth doesn't recognise that I have done. Is there a specific place I need to leave him, say out of Royal Palace grounds (like in Godsreach)? — Unsigned comment by 94.15.182.253 (talk) at 17:42 on 12 January 2011

Stats[edit]

I think it'd be a good idea to add Calvus' full stats to this page, to determine how adept he'll be at blocking, using enchanted weapons, and other things. I'll try, but I'm not sure what the best would be to stick it in.

Here they are, for anyone with the ability. A hideable table would be cool.

We don't do this on any other NPC article so I can't see it happening here. rpeh •TCE 09:04, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Calvus Horatius lost![edit]

I hired Calvus, decked him out with hundreds of thousands of dollars of gear and supplies... AND HE'S GONE!!! I can't find him anywhere I've been! It's possible he's gotten stuck somewhere along the way... Any tips? I want my gear back! Will he return to his starting point after the contract expires if he is not with me? 66.58.135.201 06:49, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

You can use the "ra" command in the courtyard and he will reappear to his initial starting position. However, this does not always work. 5.71.200.148 15:44, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Inaccuracies[edit]

Introduction should say Calvus “... would prefer to use Long Blades and Blunt Weapons, Heavy Armor and Medium Armor. However, he will use the best weapon & armor suited to a given situation.” See following two Notes.

While using Calvus as a Follower, he was noted to regularly use Shortblades & Daggers in close melee IF the short blades were enchanted with something like “Paralyze”. In particular, I provided Calvus with Goblin Swords and DB Adamantium short blades enchanted with either “Paralyze ...” or “Absorb ...” and I would have to temper them after battle … So they must have been equipped and used. His opponents often were noted to be paralyzed as well. His Long Blades were not enchanted with Paralyze.

ALSO, Calvus would equip LIGHT armor pieces, such as Dark Brotherhood Gauntlets, if in his “kit” AND corresponding Heavy Armor pieces were decremented to zero. I do question at what Armor Rating Calvin equips Light Armor; i.e., does “his” LA have the same rating as PC's LA ?? OR would Calvus' light armor “Skill” need to be boosted to match PC's skill ?? Regardless, Calvus does use Light Armor if that's the best in his kit. — Unsigned comment by DerEider (talkcontribs) at 03:19 on 2 November 2017

Comments like this are for the talk page. I've moved it here, and along with the information in some of the posts above, altered the article. Silence is GoldenBreak the Silence 08:46, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
