Master the Shadows: Ultimate Skyrim Thieves Guild Radiant Quests Handbook

Skyrim offers several guilds that the Dragonborn can become a part of. One of these guilds is the Thieves Guild, a secretive group of skilled thieves who sustain themselves through acts of theft and blackmail. Their headquarters are hidden beneath the city of Riften. To officially join the guild, players must meet Brynjolf at the market and successfully complete their first assignment.

After that, the Dragonborn must navigate through the Ratway sewers in order to locate the Ragged Flagon. This is where the guild provides new missions for the Dragonborn and allows them to sell stolen goods to fences. Unlike other guilds in Skyrim, the Thieves Guild requires players to participate in Radiant Quests in order to progress through its storyline. This guide will provide instructions on how players can successfully accomplish this task.

Thieves Guild Radiant Quests

Upon joining the guild, players will be introduced to fellow guild members while gaining access to an array of skilled trainers specializing in thief-related abilities. The captivating Thieves Guild quest line will unfold, guiding players through a series of thrilling adventures until they reach a pivotal moment in the narrative. The ultimate quest, known as "Under New Management," awaits players who have diligently completed radiant quests for the Thieves Guild.

Delvin's Jobs

To initiate these jobs, players can seek out Delvin and Vex. The Dragonborn is required to successfully complete a minimum of five tasks in the cities of Markarth, Solitude, Whiterun, and Windhelm. However, it is vital to avoid any act of violence during these assignments, as it will be deemed a failure and result in no payment. To facilitate the process, saving the game prior to requesting a job enables easy reloading and subsequent attempts in the desired city. Once players have accomplished five jobs in a specific city, they will receive a job request that secures permanent influence for the Thieves Guild within that location. Notably, the city will now offer a new fence for unloading stolen merchandise and the Ragged Flagon will acquire an additional merchant. Moreover, the Dragonborn gains the ability to bribe guards and evade punishment while engaging in criminal activities. As a sign of the guild's presence, shadowmarks will be discreetly left on containers throughout the city, serving as a generous source of extra loot. Successfully completing the quests in all four cities will unlock the final and ultimate mission for the Thieves Guild.

Complete The Bedlam Job by looting items worth a total of 500 gold from the target area. This task can be quite challenging, therefore focus on pilfering valuable armor and weapons from blacksmith forges.

The Fishing Job: Steal items from a targeted character by pickpocketing. These assignments offer higher chances of success compared to regular thefts, but it is advisable to improve pickpocketing skills and equip enchanted armor and fortifying potions for better results.

The Numbers Job: Illegally enter a business establishment and manipulate the account books by falsifying numbers. This is the simplest among the Radiant Quest missions, focusing mainly on sneaking without much need for engaging with NPCs.

Vex's Jobs

The Burglary Job - Steal an item from the target house. Wait until around 7:30 pm to catch houses empty or the owners asleep.

The Sweep Job - Steal three items from the target house.

The Shill Job - Plant a stolen item at the target house.

The Heist Job - Steal an item from the target business. Break into the store at night when the shopkeepers are away.
