Selling Stolen Goods in Oblivion
In “The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion,” selling stolen items can be tricky. You can’t sell stolen goods to regular merchants. Instead, seek out fences in the game. Fences will buy your stolen items without question. This guide will help you navigate that process effectively.
In the world of Oblivion Remastered, mastering the art of thievery is not just a sidekick skill, it’s a whole vibe! Selling stolen goods is a vital part of becoming a top-tier thief or just an adventurous RPG player who loves to snag sweet loot. Even if you’re leaning more toward a heroic path, let’s be real: who doesn’t love a little thrill from stealing? Here’s how to sell those shiny stolen treasures you’ve pilfered!
How to Sell Stolen Items in Oblivion Remastered
To sell the stuff you’ve stolen (marked with a hand icon), you’ll need to find a fence—special merchants who deal in stolen goods. If you’re just starting out and haven’t joined the Thieves Guild, your only option is Manheim Maulhand. He runs the Inn of Ill Omen located between the Imperial City and Bravil. But here’s the catch: he has a measly gold limit of 50. Honestly, his place is a bit out of the way too, so joining the Thieves Guild is the smarter move!
While we’re on that topic, here’s the scoop on becoming a guild member:
-
Join the Thieves Guild: It’s your golden ticket. You’ll not only gain access to better fences but also cool perks like special jobs and promotions.
-
Find Ongar the World-Weary: Located in Bruma, Ongar can buy your stolen goods with a limit of 600 gold. You can find him either at his house (south of the church) or chilling at Olav’s Tap and Tack.
-
Upgrade Your Fencing Game: As you sell more and complete special guild tasks, you’ll get access to different fences in other cities, each with higher gold limits. It’s all about leveling up!
-
Get the List of Fences: If you’re unsure who you can sell to, visit Armand Christophe in the Garden of Dareloth at midnight. He’ll drop knowledge on all the available fences and their locations.
Extra Tips and Tricks
-
Skeleton Key: Tired of lockpicking? The Skeleton Key is a lockpick that never breaks and makes heists way smoother. You’ll find it during the Thieves Guild questline, making it a must-have for any sneaky player.
-
Thieves Guild Master: To really be the boss, aim to rise to the Guild Master status. Completing guild quests will not only give you incentives but also special titles that show you’re the real deal in the thieving business.
-
Skill Up Your Sneak: The better your sneak skill, the fewer chances you’ll be caught. Level up sneaking by practicing in town or during quests where you can stealthily get around.
-
Pickpocket: If you like getting close and personal, consider investing in your pickpocketing skill. There aren’t many feelings better than lifting pocket change from unsuspecting NPCs!
-
Use Potions: Don’t forget those potions of invisibility or sneaking! They’re perfect for making those high-stakes heists even easier.
-
Avoiding Detection: Always be aware of the time. Selling items during the day might draw unwanted attention, so try to fence items during the evening when it’s less crowded.
Leveling up your thief skills in Oblivion Remastered can be one of the most exciting parts of your journey through Tamriel. So go ahead, embrace the shadows, and make that gold!
