Introduction to the Thieves Guild quests
The Thieves Guild specializes in daring heists that are often carried out without resorting to violence. While simple theft and pickpocketing are among its core activities, the organization also profits from forging documents, planting false evidence, and other discreet operations. If this sounds appealing to you, look for the Thieves Guild in Riften, a small town at the southeast corner of Skyrim. To find the Guild, enter the sewers and make your way to The Ragged Flagon, an underground tavern where the best pickpockets in the land can be found (see screen below).
Since most of the Guild’s missions do not involve violence, you can join at any level. As long as you can move quietly and use your Sneak skill wisely, you should be able to handle any challenge. Completing missions for the Thieves Guild is also great practice for other stealth-based organizations, such as The Dark Brotherhood, which value discretion and subtlety.
The Guild’s members are not only professional thieves but also merchants and trainers. You can learn skills like Sneak, Pickpocketing, and Lockpicking from them. Additionally, after joining the Guild, you will gain some immunity in Riften. If you are caught by local guards, you can use your connections to reduce the bounty on your head. This can be especially useful in the early stages of the game, when you don’t have much gold.
To join the Thieves Guild, speak to Brynjolf, who can be found at the Riften marketplace or at The Bee and Barb tavern nearby. This character is also involved in the main quest A Cornered Rat, but you can focus on completing Guild missions (A Chance Arrangement) even if you haven’t progressed that far in the story.
