Walkthrough for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim's Thieves Guild quests, including A Chance Arrangement, Taking Care of Business, and Loud and Clear. Learn objectives, tips, and rewards.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    A Chance Arrangement
    1. Meet Brynjolf during the day.
  2. 2
    Steal Madesi's Ring from his stall.
  3. 3
    Pickpocket Brand-Shei and plant the ring on him.
  4. 4
    Return to Brynjolf.
Details: After gaining access to Riften, find Brynjolf. Agree to help him, and he'll gather everyone. Sneak to Madesi's stand, unlock the door, and steal the ring. Then, pickpocket Brand-Shei and plant the ring on him. Report back to Brynjolf.
  • Taking Care of Business
    1. Locate Brynjolf at the Ragged Flagon.
    2. Collect Keerava's debt.
    3. Collect Bersi Honey-Hand's debt.
    4. Collect Haelga's debt.
    5. Return to Brynjolf.
    Details: After 'A Chance Arrangement,' go to the Ragged Flagon to find Brynjolf. To collect Keerava's debt at the Bee and Barb, you can brawl her or find dirt on her from Talen-Jei and threaten her. For Bersi Honey-Hand at the Pawned Prawn, you can brawl him or smash a Dwarven pot and then demand the 100 gold. For Haelga at Haelga's Bunkhouse, you can brawl her or steal the Statue of Dibella and threaten her with it. After collecting two debts, the third person will pay. Return to Brynjolf for random potions.
  • Loud and Clear
    1. Follow Brynjolf.
    2. Listen to Mercer Frey.
    3. Talk to Brynjolf.
    4. Burn three bee hives (3/3).
    5. Clear out Aringoth's safe.
    6. (Optional) Speak to Vex about Goldenglow Estate.
    7. (Optional) Enter Goldenglow using the sewer.
    8. Return to Brynjolf.
    Details: After 'Taking Care of Business,' follow Brynjolf to Mercer Frey, who assigns a new task. You can ask Vex for information on Goldenglow Estate, who suggests using the sewers. Find the sewer entrance and head towards Goldenglow Estate. The quickest way to the safe is via the southeast sewer exit. The northern exit leads to the estate's back door. With a high enough Sneak skill, you can reach Aringoth on the second floor and steal the Goldenglow Cellar Key and Goldenglow Safe Key.
  • Tips
    • For 'A Chance Arrangement,' ensure you steal the ring and plant it on Brand-Shei successfully.
    • In 'Taking Care of Business,' choose your preferred method for debt collection (brawl or intimidation/theft).
    • In 'Loud and Clear,' using the sewers is recommended for infiltration. A high Sneak skill is beneficial for acquiring keys directly from Aringoth.
    • 'A Chance Arrangement': Experience, gold.
    • 'Taking Care of Business': Experience, random potions, gold.
    • 'Loud and Clear': Experience, gold, Thieves Guild armor pieces (potentially).
