Obtain Leverage

If you fail the persuade option, you get an optional "obtain leverage"... does that really just mean use the intimidate option, or is there something else you can find or overhear to get a new dialog option? — Unsigned comment by 75.101.215.242 (talk) at 02:30 on 23 November 2011‎

Quest bug

Dunno about everybody else but I sure ah sh*t 100% DID NOT get the burn the banner optional quest objective. I only found out about it when I came on to this wiki when Delvin was all like "you could've done more". I've done 3 hours worth of questijg since finishing it so im screwed now.

Ive just attempted this quest again, once again the optional qiest IS NOT popping — Unsigned comment by 86.179.199.20 (talk) at 21:44 on 12 December 2011

It's a bit finicky, on the 360 I had to rub up against the banner for it to pop up. You could try casting a fireball at the banner, see if that causes it to appear/complete? I missed this the first time too, but came back due to a different bug involving a radiant quest and happened upon the objective.

My question is does it particularly matter? Of course it should be reported in the article, but do we miss out on anything by not completing the optional objective? I don't see that my reward is any less, so I'm not sure of there's any need to load a previous save to backtrack and complete the objective.--Accretor 07:56, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Just finished the Quest on PS3, although the objective doesn't show up, use a flame spell to burn it, I'm assuming that the additional objective shows up after asking about the job from Delvin or one of the contacts in the quest. 50.15.108.188 00:19, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

(←) For me it only showed up if I approached the banner prior to picking up the amulet. I wonder if this is the case for anyone else? 84.9.164.25 20:15, 4 January 2013 (GMT)

Elven to Leveled

So I got Orcish sword so I will correct that Elven sword to leveled sword.--Aleksa 22:05, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

OptionaLQuest - uncompleted quests

I found the optional (burn banner)quest very sensitive and only triggerred when the banner is approached from the left. I had three quests entering the cave. The amulet and forgemasters fingers quests completed but the bounty quest for gang leader was left incomplete. 92.13.115.7 11:18, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

When this quest progresses to the point where you're told to go to Uttering Hills Cave, the cave is cleared of its Bandit inhabitants and populated with Summerset Shadows thieves. At this point, Linwe becomes the "Leader" of the cave, but for some reason the radiant quest is not notified of the switch, and so will continue to point you towards the Bandit Chief, who is no longer there. Because of this, I would advise doing any Misc quests regarding this cave before doing the Thieves Guild quest. I was able to clear out the bandits for my radiant quest, return to Windhelm and progress Summerset Shadows to 40 (Travel to Uttering Hills Cave), and immediately encounter the thieves and Linwe when returning. — Unsigned comment by 24.247.177.201 (talk) on January 6, 2012 15:17

Possible bug doing this quest along with or before "Kill the Bandit Leader" radiant quest.

Had this quest and Kill the Bandit Leader both active. After killing Linwe, the quest arrow for the bandit leader pointed to an empty chair. Other people noted this bug on the Uttering Hills Cave Discussion page. Had to reload a previous save from before talking to Torsten Cruel-Sea and then kill the bandit leader first. Then when I talked to Torsten Cruel-Sea and returned to the cave it was repopulated with Summerset Shadow thieves. (Xbox) izzysawicki 19 January 2012

Confused

Now when you mean 'five additional jobs' do you mean quests given to you by people in Windhelm? Or contracts given to you by the Thief's guild that occur in Windhelm? -Adonys Baldera — Unsigned comment by 66.87.116.160 (talk) at 06:47 on 27 January 2012

It means any combination of 5 Thieves' Guild side jobs handed out by Vex or Delvin. 70.122.227.164 18:03, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Does this quest have issues if started after completing BOTI?

As it says on the tin, does anyone know of any issues with this quest if you did BOTI before starting the Thieves Guild quest chain? 24.156.216.144 13:31, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Torsten Cruel-Sea's location Glitch

Torsten Cruel-Sea's location is marked to the west of Windhelm, around the base of the mountain. At the same time, the quest arrow in the HUD's compass tells me to enter Windhelm. After entering, arrow shows that Torsten is inside Windhelm (the arrow is solid white) but past the city walls to the west.

I got around this glitch by following this video tutorial on how to get outside of Windhelm without going through the gate. Then when I went to the location on the map Torsten was there.

How many Jobs?

On all my other characters they got his job after doing 5 jobs in Windhelm but on my Bosmeri thief I got this job after only 3 jobs in Windhelm. Why is this? Babette 18:53, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Burning the banner.

I've just done this quest again, and on every other character I used a spell, either destruction or shout, to bur the banner. This time, I shot at it as I wanted to attract the attention of Linwe and the others in there and because my crossbow has a fire enchantment it set the thing on fire. Not expected. Anyone else had this happen with an enchanted weapon, either ranged or melee? AyaHawkeye (talk) 01:50, 6 April 2013 (GMT)
