[Idea] Thieves' Guild DLC collection achievement

BlackEar

As an achievement hunter and a grinder at heart I thoroughly enjoyed during the Black Market Mogul achievement.

I know not a lot share the same feelings as I, which is fine, however I feel like adding a more thieving-oriented collection achievement akin to monster trophies or fish would be the perfect fit for the "Thieves Guild" DLC.

In short; pickpocketing and stealing sometimes results in rare items of epic value (i.e. Directions to Clockwork City). They cannot be used in any way. They can be sold for 750 gold to the fence or kept for nostalgic value.

I think it would be a cool mix of RNG and grinding to add a collection achievement that revolves around acquiring certain epic pieces through stealing.
Additionally, if it could be exhibited in the Thieves' Guild main hall like the museum in Orisinium it would be even cooler!

What do you think?

Thanks

I'm 1/3 through the Black Market Mogul achievement and only ever found 1 purple item ... I think it's Ranser's Lucky Skeever's Foot.

These items really speak to the lore-boy in me, but the rarity is a smidge disheartening.

Hi @Faulgor that is indeed unlucky! Try focusing your thieving routes on locations with a lot of lockboxes. They have a higher chance of containing epics. I usually find 1 purple every second day. I kept my very first one (nostalgia).

I personally do not mind that the items are rare and hard to obtain in that regard. I want it to be a true feat of strength.

Any thoughts?

Would be nice. Even if you could find like, a piece of art in some of the destroyed forts, cities or similars, to add some kind of adventure feeling in getting these types of art and collectibles. Even daily quests of getting hired by some kind of treasure collector to steal from some kind of place or someone. It would be really cool.

I would love for them, just this once, not to penalize the people who already dif some achievements or content in the past. ZOS has a track record of adding new stuff in existing content, making people who play the game often spend a lot more time getting what they want, than people who wait. A prime example of this was how people who already did the dungeon achoevement before the undaunted skill line came out got completely *** and had to grind dungeons like mad men because they did not get credit from the achievements. So what I am saying is; no, I would hate for them to add an achievement that Incould have gotten while working on my Black Market Mogul, because that would mean I might aswell have waited with that, and I am almost done now.

In regards to the epic drops from stealing: I have gotten two epic items in total, and that was from pickpocketing. I open around 80 boxes a day and have done so for the last two months almost, and not once have I gotten an epic item.

Hi @Zinaroth ! Good to hear from you on the forums . I understand your concern as can see how it is frustrating to repeat content. However, I have done Black Market Mogul as well and I would find it to be a waste of the Justice System not to include with the upcoming achievements. I realise there might be other ways, but since thieving is the core aspect of the Justice System I believe adding an achievement that correlates to this and the overall theme of the DLC to be a great way to get Justice System back into the game!

In short; I do not mind going back to thieving if I have a compelling reason (achievements) to do so. I understand why it may be frustrating for those who already did do the content.

Thanks for adding that hit list. It was almost identical to what I could have wished for
