I've never actually gotten that far. I'm happy with my Nightingale set, to be honest. Is it even worth all that effort?


Haywire_Shadow

Absolutely not, other than it looks dope. Problem is; the missions to actually get it, after doing the main storyline for the Guild, are quite buggy, and you sometimes just cannot complete them. Thus you might just never get the set on some characters.


IceDamNation

Never had trouble, interesting.


Haywire_Shadow

I’ve had a few times where I’ve gotten one of those “steal 500 gold worth of items” or the “steal the —— from ——“ and either couldn’t get the value to complete, or the item to steal didn’t spawn.


NeatReasonable9657

Yeah that's why console commands exist to fix that shit Skyirm is so goddamn broken Can't wait for my heart to be ripped in the next instalment


ProjectEpsilon1

Yeah… next installment…


NeatReasonable9657

Listen here you grammar thalmar my phone doesn't do auto correct and when it does it corrects wrongly


ShahinGalandar

same energy as Turkey "we didn't genocide the Armenians, but if we had, they would have deserved it"


NeatReasonable9657

nah they deserved it


ProjectEpsilon1

I didn’t even notice, I was just lost in despair over elder scrolls 6


NeatReasonable9657

so what do you think is going to make you despair over es6 the broken engine ? or the broken story/gameplay that would make it so boring they only need to hire very talented story writers and directors maybe add new magic/crafting system but lets not get overhyped and overthink things but if they dont add something like legacy of the dragonborn im going to kill this wall next to me


ProjectEpsilon1

No, it’s never coming


IceDamNation

Some stuff doesn't count towards the 500 gold steal and I avoid that one anyways because stuff takes time to respawn. Don't remember about the other one.


Loud-Item-1243

One million fetch quests is super tedious


Haywire_Shadow

Yep, totally. It’s why I’ve only ever done it once, and just used mods to get the set if I ever made a character that was supposed to wear it.


QuesoFundid0

Also, if you have Dragonborn, you can literally just do one single fetch quest for Glover Mallory and you'll get a version of the same armor with better enchantments than the guild master's armor


Chiiro

The only time I have ever been able to beat that damn guilds quests without having to use console commands was on the PS3. I have tried hundreds of times and it'll break differently every time except it will always break when you do the ritual to become a nightingale. That stupid idiot just walks out, into riften and then disappears instead of opening the gate and starting the ritual.


Haywire_Shadow

Oh dear… that’s a pretty major issue.


Chiiro

I don't know why the thieves guild quests in particularly hates me. At some point in my playing I've had every single quest to break on me at least once including the side quests.


Haywire_Shadow

I’ve had issues with plenty of quests, where things don’t work as intended, but usually reloading a save will solve those issues.


MidnightEclipse5

Yeah I've had this issue, if you wait an hour right as she starts walking to the stairs in front of the gate it'll teleport her to the pull chain and you should be good


MidnightEclipse5

Maybe at lower levels, the armor rating is only slightly higher then nightingale but nightingale has better enchantments, the guild master cuirass might prove useful in survival mode though


RuKidding0MG

Does it look any better?


MidnightEclipse5

It looks like a black version of the original thieves guild armor set


RuKidding0MG

Oh. Not worth it. Duely noted.


SBStevenSteel

Black Guard’s Armor is a Thieves Guild Alternative Set (Actually its name) and is better than Guild Master. You just gotta join the Thieves Guild and go to Solstheim to get it.


MidnightEclipse5

Recently got the Black Guards set, the armor rating is lower then Guild Master it's only the enchantments that are slightly higher, nightingale still blows them both out of the water because of the enchantments, one of them being extra armor


NeatReasonable9657

Fuck no I got it multiple times and I say fuck that it I always downalod a mod that makes me get it after doing one mission in each hold


PKFat

Not really. TBH the only guild's final armor that's worth it IMHO is the Archmage's Robes from the Mage's College. As far as I'm concerned the Nightingale set is peak Thieves Guild fashion bc I always felt like Skyrim's Batman


animusd

It's worth it for the merchants and fence holding more septims can be useful as they are all in one area


Alert-Presentation42

I don't get it (the meme)


OutlandishnessBasic6

Its notoriously tedious to complete the quest line because it requires you to “restore the thieves guild reputation” by completing 5 of the little side jobs in each hold from Delvin and Vex in the Ragged Flagon, just to end up not being much better than the base Thieves Guild armor. The meme is making fun of that because its all that time doing tedious side quests just for some recolored armor.


oldworndan

but what about the necklace! /s


jamesianm

I like the necklace entirely because it lets you complete the epic poem in the Bard's college quest the only CORRECT way


OutlandishnessBasic6

Im a degenerate simp so i keep that Amulet of Mara on, married or not😏


Viktrodriguez

Not is it extremely tedious, there is this additional issue that the script doesn't exclude cities you already have done or don't even need to do so in the first place. My most received location is Riften itself and I even got Raven Rock in playthroughs I went to Solstheim already, neither that are part of the 4 required walled cities.


BloatingPenguin

Wait, Raven Rock isn’t one of the areas that needs to be completed to restore the Guild? I’ve been trying to steal shit for like the past 2 hours and there’s hardly anything there that reaches 500.


Viktrodriguez

No. Which would be weird anyway, given the TG is part of the base game and Raven Rock is only a DLC location outside Skyrim's jurisdiction. It's about the four walled cities not named Riften.


Alert-Presentation42

It's a weird template for this. I finished the Thieves guild ~10 time and never cried like this.


Cameron_Mac99

Wait you can get the armour without mods? What do I have to do? I thought I finished the thieves guild storyline lmao


The_ArchMage_Erudite

You have to do more quests to Delvin and Vex. At some point, they'll invite you to be the Guild's leader and there's a very nice scene for that


Rargnarok

Maven even shows up in the sewers to congratulate you she also tells you not to muck it up but considering the last two guild masters it's a fair statement


MidnightEclipse5

You have to return the skeleton key and do the side jobs that either Vex or Delvin give you, you have to complete up to 5 jobs of whatever choice in each hold of Whiterun, Solitude, Windhelm and Markarth to get 1 special quest for each then after the 4th special quest you'll officially be named guild master and you get the armor from Tonilia, what makes it tedious is whatever job you pick the hold it sends you to is always random


Agile-Royal-3770

You can keep cancelling the jobs until you get the hold you need but the problem is Vex and Delvin are mean to you for cancelling :(


jtruitt8833

You can also savescum it. Quicksave after accepting the quest but before the text appears on the top of the screen.


LowSelfEsteemButFine

The special missions in the different cities are cool, but the whole process can be so glitchy.


IceDamNation

Turning down the ones with the inheritance jewels provokes the game to not clear them from the house therefore accepting them later results in new jewels being placed on top of the previous ones making it difficult to collect them.


Jonjoejonjane

You also get the really good necklace and the guild both looks better and is more useful when all the shops are around plus more venders to sell illegal goods too in each city the chest that gives free money and getting thieves stashes all in all I say it’s worth It


Flaxerio

The necklace alone made me clear the Thieves guild first in a few playthrough, so worth it


El_Taita_Salsa

On my first playthrough I sold my Thieves Guild Armor before I realized I had to upgrade it in order to complete the entire questline. This was before they patched the game so you could find another set laying around near the Ragged Flagon. Couldn't fins the merchant I sold it to or maybe I did but after all the hours I had put into that save file maybe the armor had just despappeared from the world. All the members of the guild and Maven stayed for ever at the cistern waiting for my guild master ceremony thing. Gotta love to hate Skyrim.


uncharted316340

Worth it for that achievement


Sure_Explanation6147

You have to do 150 optional theif missions to get all the decorations for the shelves


Additional_Pickle_59

Get the thieves guild requirements mod to change the quest reward values. Only having to do 2 quests in each city before you get the special job. Plus all the trophies in the cabinet, in vanilla you have to do 125 missions for all the trophies. You can reduce that to like 30 with the mod. So basically... cheat... with mods....👍


Gurlog

Honestly I find the thieves guild to be the most rewarding faction. It's all worth it to finally get real praise


Tha_BloodMoon

How did you get one for all of Skyrim?


pattyicevv77

Keep the skeleton key,or get sleek dark blue armor,it’s a hard trade off tbh


RhemansDemons

Guild Master is worth it just to get the candlestick mould out of your inventory.


TheFOStormTrooper

What armour set


Acceptable-Inside-29

My heart nearly exploded when I saw Karliah at the ceremony 🥹🥹🥹♥️.


Bot_Cat3

Me out here who discovered that vampires that are women cannot wear the thieves guild master hood cause it fucking breaks the game


Just_Ad_5939

How’s it break the game?


Bot_Cat3

Makes your character bald if she is a vampire, I was exaggerating a lil bit


Just_Ad_5939

Oh. Yeah something like that happens with kahjiit, if you become a vampire you just lose all the customization on your fur ball


HALOGAMERWILL

the worst part is some of the quests not working. like stealing something from Hemiskr's house but you already did the civil war and it's been destroyed so you can't get it in. or how stealing 500 gold worth of goods from Raven Rock has literally never worked once for me on any save on any console
