The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion - Work is Never Done

Work is Never Done is a side quest in the Shivering Isles expansion in The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Remastered. Learn how to complete Work is Never Done and where to obtain calipers and tongs here!

Work is Never Done Walkthrough

1 Talk to Tove the Unrestful

To start the side quest, players have to talk to Tove the Unrestful. He is located on the upper level of his house in Bliss.
2 Collect 50 Calipers and Tongs

After talking to Tove the Unrestful, players are now tasked to collect 50 Calipers and Tongs.
Obtain Calipers from Kalperklan Trolls

Calipers can be obtained from Kalperklan Trolls found inside Tidewater Cave, South of Leyawiin. Each of them has 7 Calipers, so players need to defeat about 8 trolls to get 50.
Obtain Tongs from Barrels and Crates in Imperial City Waterfront and Market District

Tongs can be obtained from barrels and crates in Imperial City Waterfront and Market District. This will take a lot of time since barrels and crates replenish every three days and using the wait function to fast forward time doesn't replenish them.
3 Return to Tove the Unrestful
Work is Never Done - Mission Complete
After collecting Calipers and Tongs, players have to return to Tove the Unrestful and give him the items. Once given, the quest will be completed.
