Daggerfall:Thieves Guild

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

The Thieves Guild is an organization for the gathering and training of those stealthy and shadowy in nature. Although criminal by its very definition, the local authorities often tolerate the existence of the guild as its presence often greatly decreases, if not eliminates, the more unstable or dangerous criminals.

Like any trade guild, the Thieves Guild is an organization of professionals, except that in this case the professionals are thieves, robbers, pickpockets, smugglers, and other enterprising operators. They don't have public guild halls, but in large towns they do tend to gather at a single location, such as a cornerclub, inn, or tradehouse.

To join, pick ten or more pockets successfully, or break into a store without an Open spell and wait for a letter. The guild protects its members and frowns on freelance thieves. Most quests for the Thieves Guild will involve stealing an item or helping a guild mate. None of these quests involves any Dungeon Crawling.

[edit] Guildhalls

Guildhalls of the Thieves Guild are actual casual buildings that are automatically marked on the town map once a member enters a town or city for the first time. Not every town or city has a Thieves Guildhall. They come in two architectural styles.

• Guildhall 1 always has two pigs in the paled front court and most important, the building opposite such a guildhall is always an indoor Witch Coven.

[edit] Members

[edit] Fence

They will buy magical items from any member, who is at least a Filcher of the Guild. The base price for such items is considerable higher than anywhere else and the asking price depends on one's mercantile skill and the reputation one has with the Guild.

[edit] Questgiver

One will get his quests and possible rewards from them.

[edit] Spymaster

Every member who is at least a Robber of the Guild may access their service. The Spymaster is a valuable source for various informations and rumors.

[edit] Trainer

They will train one in the Skills the Guild offers. The costs are dependent on the level of one's character, 100 gold per level to be more precisely. They, like all other trainers, can raise one's skills only to 50.
