Seriously, I start the day with enough items from the previous day to already finish half the allotted amount of fenced items. Can we raise the allowed amount to 200 for those of us that can. 140 just isn't enough.

    I have the steal 1 million gold worth of items achievement and I agree. It was way more annoying to earn than it should of been...

    That achievement was a pain but ya feel like you accomplished something when you get it. To bad the reward is a pile of dead leaves.

    If you delete white items instead of selling them the achievement is much easier (I have it on 3 toons). Also, your daily max will take a lot longer, meaning you can spend more time stealing,

    You have to get creative to maximize the profits and minimize the time spent stealing. For me the ratio was 60 blues to 80 greens, purples replaced the greens. All white treasures and spare greens went to trash. I found a good route in Vvardenfell and farmed it for 1.5 hours a day, got 26k on a bad day and 30k on a good day.

    The real reward is a dye. Which is awesome.

    Yeah the dye is nice. The mountain of loot that looks more like a compost heap not so much.

    I think this is a more of a over a long period achievement same for paying 100k to fence or guard for bounty. Unless you go out your way to do it of course. I have sold over 300k of good just passively except when i was doing the thieves guild questline where I was semi role playing as a thief and basically doing what OP said having stolen stuff from the day before already in my inventory.

    I do agree with OP though, we should be able to sell a lot more. As well as purple stolen items should have an increased drop rate to make thieving a viable lucrative way to make money as it is IRL!

    This is not about the achievement (which I've managed with all my chars) it's purely about the daily limit. I can make good coin plus it's fun to sneak behind the guards when their back is turned.

    Bank safe boxes are a favourite of mine for purely the rush of stealing in (almost) plain sight

    I think you might have answered your own question. The limit is there in part to control how much gold each day you can make from stealing from others. Same reason we can't do crafting writs in each zone each day instead of one and done for the day.

    Will people stop using reason & common sense to quash my need to thieve my way (twice) around tamriel! :D

    I would rather run around thieving than dungeon grinding like some :p

    Doesn't make sense now that you can make more money faster by surveying in Artaeum / Eyevea.

    The pile of loot really ought to be updated to something more akin to what people got from that Elsweyr special. Now THAT is a pile of loot; makes the 1 million gold one look like absolute trash by comparison.

    I dont think this has been raised ever since the base game, I could be wrong. However since then stealing has gotten a lot more depth too it.

    Theres now blueprints, furniture items, in at least vvardenfell motifs and style mats. Which means players are spending more time doing this.

    Limit really needs to be adjusted to because of this

    I'm giving this a bump due to my now starting tomorrow with almost half my allotted fences due to reaching my limit today! I regularly have half my inventory clogged up with stolen goods I can't sell until the next day!

    Just to put into perspective, I don't bother with green anymore (never bothered with white goods), I go for purely blue & purple & I'm still topping out

    As mentioned above, @Aurrynthea_Drake, the fence limit shouldn't be a problem for you if you're stealing for pure enjoyment.

    If the goal is to make gold or for trading guild purposes, there are way better ways to do that than fencing.

    I think it's funny that people are allowed to sell as many materials/recipes/plans/gear pieces for hundreds of thousands at once, but Zos is afraid that we'll make too much gold and wreck the economy by spending time pickpocekting stuff to vendor.

    We have already way to much "Passive" created gold out of nowhere. And giving people more reasons to stay with 20 Accounts in Reapers March, while afk watching Netflix is a bad way.

    What's the upper limit granted by the Legerdemain skill-line?
    I only have a single point in that particular skill (which grants 120 items per day).
    I haven't attempted to max it out yet. I could; I have the skill-line maxxed to 20. I just haven't been in a rush to do it yet.

      I believe it is 140 so getting the skill up to 120 items with just one skill point invested is pretty good.

      No, wait. I think 1 skill point brings you to 110 items. I'll need to check.
      If so, my bad. I misspoke originally.

      Edit: Yep. 1 point is 110 items. The max, at 4 points, is 140.

        Yes, you're right.

        "Both limits increase from 50, to 110, 120, 130, or 140, depending on how many points you invest in this passive."

        I fence for gold & for fun - yes I could grind on resource nodes & sell them on the trader for more gold but I am good at stealing so why not?

        You can always roll up a few thieving alts to increase your limit. This is done for many other aspects of the game like daily pledges, writs and more. This way, you can get up to 18 times your current limit.
