Crime sprees

I have a Crime Spree quest in Stonefalls and I have checked every house, business, and guild and not one safebox/strongbox. Are these that rare in certain areas or have incredibly long respawn timers? This quest is just a waste of time it seems. Cannot stand it !!

Is this the only repeatable quest more than daily to grind thieves guild XP?

    They have a long respawn timer, and with more people doing those TG quests it can take some time. You can delete that quest and get a new one. The other crime spree quest is to pickpocket people.

    I spent nearly an hour in stonefall, teleporting between the 3 quest locations, searching every house and store I could come over. When I finally found one, the owner stood nearly on top of it and didn't move, so I had no other choice but to pick it, and leave town in a hurry with a 250 gold bounty on my head, and very angry guard behind me :smile:

    Thank you I will try dropping it and picking up another quest. What a waste of time !

    I have done several of those so far. Yeah, can be annoying to find the strongboxes... but so far, I always got one in the end. Still, the pickpocketing quest is easier...

    Slight thread necro, but I found that people are somewhat lazy and dont bother picking locks of private houses.
    There tend to be a safebox there since its some effort to get to it.
    From a limited dataset of 3 boxes in less than 15 minutes.

    7 years is a slight necro? This thread is so old it could be in elementary school.

    Back then NPCs didn't report you for being inside their homes if you overstayed your unwelcome. I don't know when that mechanic was added, but you could stay inside a home as long as you liked waiting for the safeboxes to respawn. Now if you did that, you rake up bounty for being idle in there.

    Greetings,

    We have closed this topic as it was originally created in March 2016. In many cases, it's better to create a new thread on a topic that you want to discuss as opposed to bumping one that is rather old.

    Thank you for your understanding!
