Skyrim Thieves Guild Joining Tips

I've written about Skyrim Dark Brotherhood, and now I want to write about Skyrim Thieves Guild. So, what is Skyrim Thieves Guild? Skyrim Thieves Guild is an organization for the gathering and training of those stealthy and shadowy in nature. Skyrim Thieves Guild is based in Riften, in a network of tunnels under the city called The Ratways. If you join this guild, you're allowed to kill during a job.

Skyrim Thieves Guild is an organization of professionals, except that in this case the professionals are thieves, smugglers, pickpockets, robbers, and other enterprising operators. They do tend to gather at a single location, such as inn, tradehouse or cornerclub because they don't have public guild halls.

You can get some advantages if you join Skyrim Thieves Guild :

• Full suit of Thieves Guild armor
• Access to the Thieves Guild hideout
• Fences to sell stolen goods to
• Nightingale armor, blade and bow further through the questline
• Expert level One-hand, Archery, Light Armor, Pickpocket and Sneak trainers
• Unlimited thief-related missions which reward gold
• Master level training in Lockpick (Vex)
• Large number of free gold (400+) and lockpicks (60+) lying around the hideout

If you're interested to join Skyrim Thieves Guild, you can follow the tips below:

1. Travel to Riften and ask most innkeepers and other citizens about the Thieves Guild and some may direct you to Brynjolf. Then, find Brynjolf. He’s found on the townsquare. He’ll be waiting at the storefront during daylight. Talk to him and complete his quest.
2. After doing what he asked for, he’ll ask to meet you at a bar balled the Ragged Flagon, located underneath Riften, in the Ratway.
3. Talking to him in the Ragged Flagon will kick off the “Taking Care of Business” quest. Complete that, and you’ll be a member of the Thieves Guild.
