A Lazy Bums way to get free weapons and armour

Love_Daggerfall

In DaggerFall there is this Desart Island. (I'm sure it can be done anywhere else)
There's a weapon and armour shop inside a building and there all on the Desk for the stealing.
So you don't go mad just steal one thing at a time.
To wait for your fine to vanish just go upstears to the varenda and walk around every few minits.
Rince Repeat until you have all you need or want.
I was not sure where to post this thread please move if it's in the wrong place ok.
Enjoy!

Edit:
They stay stolen in your backpack even if your wanted bill is vanished.
This means to my disapointment you can't Disasemble them or sell them in normal shops.
The only thing you can do with stolen gear is to either wear it or sell it to a Fence.
Mind you having no wanted level is pretty cool you can walk though town to the fence and you don't get arrested.
Pretty cool.

You absolutely can deconstruct stolen weapons and armor. This is a popular method for leveling crafting from what I have seen so far. What you steal is scaled to your level, so you can stop every time you level into a new tier of gear, steal and deconstruct, create new weapons and armor, and then carry on about your way.

Not so on xbox one version.
I tryed that and the weapons and armour don't show up at the Blacksmithing Table when I try to dismantal them.
I wish it was as you said but its not so on xbox one version of ESO.
It's nice to read some people are alowed to do it your way.

Well, launder them instead of selling them at the fence. Then they behave like normal items, means you can put them in bank or deconstruct them.

Laundering increases legerdemain skill line the same as selling.

Now that's a Tip I will be trying for sure.
Thanks for the information.
God knows if it will work on xbox one or not....

You're welcome.

Another thing I have found when stealing.
Forced respawning of stolen gear
My steps are:
1. Steal everything on the Table
2. Log out to the select charater screen. This forces game to save.
3. Turn ESO compleaty off and back on. This resets Displayed gear back to default.
4. Log in with your stealer and you will see all the gear you stolen Respawned back onto the Table.
5. Rince repeat until you have a full backpack.

I deconstruct stolen items on XB1 all the time. Works exactly the same as deconstructing all other items. Not sure what you're seeing that's different.

I will double check it.
All I gotta do is walk down stears the Blacksmithing table for crafting is just there.
Anything is better then spending all night upstears waiting for bontys to vanish.
back soon.

After testing dismantalment a second time.
It worked.
Thank you for getting me to try it again.

Also ... as long as no NPCs or guards see you steal anything, you don't get any bounty added and therefore don't have to wait for the bounty to go away before going about your deconstruction. There are plenty of shops and merchants all about where you can sneak behind them, stay hidden and steal all you want.

I had a bounty around 350 it's now around 275.
I need to learn this sneaking.
You push the left controler in correct?

I will answer myself
press in the right controller to sneak.
Also very good for pick pocketing too.
Exciting stuff.

You can definitely disassemble stolen gear, there are a few kleptomaniacs in our guild and we are doing it all the time. Also you can also definitely launder and deconstruct.
And yes... sneaky sneaky sneaky then no bounty at all
Also if you do get caught and flee... head into the wilderness! Find the fastest route out of town and just run.

Haxnschwammer

when hidden go behind a npc, you can attempt to pick his pocket then. Don't know what button to press...
If you fail they might attack you, if you try to steal from guards they will attack you every time. Well, If they
catch you stealing... Harder targets have better loot.
Welcome to the dark side.

What may have happened the first time is you went to the wrong crafting station to decon. I did in the beginning. Metal gear go to the Blacksmithing station, Cloth and Leather go to Clothing Station, Wood items wood working station. The latter sometimes is tucked away or hidden. I guess the citizens of Tamriel don't like sawdust or something.

If you're sneaking around town stealing stuff anyway, take a peek in the various crates, chests, sacks, trunks etc around town - especially inside houses. They drop tons of loot for the fence - and these items have been put into the game specifically to be stolen and fenced, so there is no reason not to do it.

I don't know how gold-making goes for vet rank players, but for newbies like me there is no more lucrative pastime - 40K gold and counting, and I'm only level 10. Pro tip: drag your thief alt to one of the final zone cities - I've got one each in Riften and Evermore and they make a killing - blue and purple drops regularly.

Heres on a tip if you have a bounty. If you open your map and port to the wayshirne right in front of Daggerfall ...Baelborne Rock Wayshrine...you can run up the river and in the Daggerfall Outlaws Refuge thats on the outside of daggerfall..i used this till i got into EP faction and found another one

Visemere

i thought everyone knew this lol.

i force reset my local inn all the time to farm provisioning materials, literally i can make 10k in an hour or so selling the white and gree and blue stolen items also.

if you need fast money and can sneak well, you never need to leave the city to make money.

Goes the same as it did in level 10.. Grind Steal Fence, Rinse Repeat..

Get your ledger skills up and you can steal a good 20-30k in Green/Blue items from houses/castle areas in little under an hours time, then move onto whatever else you got going for the day.

You can just change zones to get the displayed items to respawn again, no need to exit the game.
Entering & exiting an outlaw refuge is faster than traveling to/from wayshrines

If you haven't already, you should put a skill point into the legerdemain passive that lets you sell & launder 120% more items to a fence everyday.

It sounds like you are spending more time stealing an ensemble than you would take just getting one killing opponents and finding it. I do steal a bunch of stuff myself, but mostly to get the things I hardly ever find without stealing.

FlounderOG

I prefer dicking around in pvp and spending easy alliance points on blue armor.
