Steal three specific valuable items from a wealthy house. Quest Giver: Vex Location(s): The Ragged Flagon Reward: Leveled Gold ID: TGRHC

The Golden Urn and the Jeweled Candlestick in Evette San's House

Quick Walkthrough

1. Talk to Vex in The Ragged Flagon about sweep jobs.
2. Enter the targeted house and steal the items she names.
3. Return them to Vex for a reward.

Detailed Walkthrough

After joining the Thieves Guild, Vex will tell you that she handles all the burglary, shill, sweep and heist jobs. Ask her for a sweep job and she will inform you that one of Skyrim's citizens has three items that the guild covets.

Steal the three items that she specifies from the provided location, and return them to Vex for a leveled gold reward. The items are found in three different locations in the house, sitting out on shelves or tables. Your quest objective will update each time you obtain one of the required items. The possible items are:

• Golden Ship Model
• Golden Urn
• Jeweled Candlestick
• Jeweled Flagon
• Jeweled Goblet
• Jeweled Pitcher
• Ornate Drinking Horn

The quest can send you to any wealthy house in the game, which amounts to 29 possible houses. You may be assigned the same location more than once.

Markarth	Riften	Solitude	Whiterun	Windhelm
Nepos's House Ogmund's House Smelter Overseer's House The Treasury House	Aerin's House Bolli's House Marise Aravel's House Romlyn Dreth's House Snow-Shod Manor Valindor's House	Addvar's House Bryling's House Evette San's House Hall of the Dead Jala's House Vittoria Vici's House	Amren's House Carlotta Valentia's House Heimskr's House House of Clan Battle-Born House Gray-Mane Uthgerd's House Ysolda's House	Atheron Residence Belyn Hlaalu's House Brunwulf Free-Winter's House House of Clan Cruel-Sea House of Clan Shatter-Shield Viola Giordano's House

You must not be caught and sent to jail while the quest is active, for any reason, otherwise you will fail the quest; you also cannot kill anyone living in the house.

Notes

• If one of the house's occupants dies for any reason while the quest is active (even if you are not responsible), you will fail the quest.
• One of the three items appears in the same location as where the item for The Burglary Job is placed. The only effective difference between this quest and The Burglary Job is that this quest requires two additional items to be stolen from the house.

Bugs

• If you have already participated in the quest Battle for Whiterun it becomes impossible to enter some homes in Whiterun (the entrance to Heimskr's House is always blocked, while others should clean up after some time has passed). However, they can still be assigned as a possible quest destination.
  • This bug is fixed by version 1.1 of the Unofficial Skyrim Patch.
  • Quit the job and retake it for another location (you can load a previous save to avoid a failed quest if you wish).
  • You can use the console command coc, followed by the editor id of the house.
• If you cancel a sweep quest, the items don't disappear from the house which can cause some overlap problems if the quest is assigned to that house again. If a jeweled goblet is a target and a golden urn was previously placed, the goblet will be unable to be picked up.
  • This bug is fixed by version 1.3.3 of the Unofficial Skyrim Patch.
  • You can use the console command MarkForDelete, then target the golden urn, this should reveal the jeweled goblet.

Stage	Finishes Quest	Journal Entry

• The following empty quest stages were omitted from the table: 5.

 

Notes

• Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Quest system, and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
• If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
• On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage TGRHC stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages, but it is possible to clear all stages of the quest using resetquest TGRHC.
