Where is the Real Gold in Thieves Guild Quests?[spoilers]

Ethromelb14_ESO

I've been playing the story line religiously, and have yet to come across any treasure that makes me overwhelmingly excited inside.

Instead I'm a psychologists for thieves guild members. So instead of getting wealthy with treasures and gold, we're cherishing each other like the Golden Girls. And instead of giving the player a choice of deciding whether they want the title of "Master Thief" or to sell relics ... yes relics. I'm forced to just give them away?!?

I wanted a free-for-all in a room filled for pilfering of the highest quality ends, that sell at the fence for 500 gold a pop, at least once a day in a solo or four player delve.

There could have even been parameters set in place, like:

1) the trap is on a timer, and the ceiling is coming down. If you die you get nothing.
2) Or The gold weighs a lot, and too much will weigh you down as you try and get away from the chasing guardian that protects the gleaming heaven.

But not the crap that's here now, where I go in to a delve, see a throne full of unattended treasures and all I can pick up is a consumable drink.

Yo, that made me tight. I'm like, wait,

I can't pick up anything worth anything?

Such a wasted experience, ZoS.

Stealing the relics is a callback to Skyrim where you could collect highly-prized objects for the glory of the guild. The problem with making them sellable in an MMO context is that it would be too easy to farm up huge amounts of gold that way, and only people with the Thieve's Guild DLC would have access to it.

I feel you regarding the treasure lying around in Bahraha's tomb, but just consider it cursed, or atmospheric elements instead. ;-)

Later on you'll get something worth 100k gold.

Depends on how you play... That item is nothing more than an inventory thief for me.

I'd like to see them create more advanced mission-related Heists in the future. My suggestion to them is to copy the model left by games like Thief, Styx, etc. I recommend that they have an outdoor location that needs to be infiltrated (it could be in the overworld). Give it a second layer indoors, and a third layer getting into some kind of guarded subterranean vault or in a tower. They could do the same kind of things with DB to make more advanced Sacraments. Personally, I also wish normal Heists/Sacraments could be repeated, even if rewards are diminished for 2nd+ repeats of the mission in a day. The Heists are more fun than standard pickpocketing once you have gotten skilled at thieving/assassinating.

Another thing I would recommend is that they add a couple of active skills to TG/DB skill lines. They could easily copy other stealth-based games like the Thief series, with skills like Night Eye Spell, Ice Arrow, Noisemaker bomb, Smoke Bomb, etc. The one thing I really miss in the game as it exists, and I do not suspect we'll ever have, is the need to move the bodies of your fallen foes from out in plain view. It would be nice if we could billy club (Knock out) and tie up/gag npc's as a thief, that way there's a non-kill option for some of these more advanced type of Heists that I recommend. More tools in the Thief arsenal could make for a more interesting game (not that I don't like it now).

You can actualy make allot of money by using the 140 fence items per day in 2 toons or more if you want.
I am getting 10k in no time just by stealing npcs and houses in certain places.
I think if you are quick and with the right passives with 3 toon you can reach 30k in around 1h 30m if not less
