The Smuggler and Thieving Quality of Life

Alarde

We all know the ally you get on your service as a reward for completing the Thieves Guild questline. Since forever, she allows you to sell to her (not launder) any stolen goods you may have for a wrecking 35% comission on every single item.

Any serious thief out there would rather walk to the closest hideout and sell his 30 minute bag without penalty. I don't understand at all, ever since i got Pirharri the Smuggler what am i supposed to use her for.

Here's my suggestion. Since thieving in ESO is not even that attractive for end game players in comparison to pretty much doing anything else instead, why not (at least) turn this khajiit scammer into a bank for stolen goods? That way we would be able to at least haul a nice amount everyday and thieving would become something to invest time on rather than a 30 minute daily pickpocketing & sell of 140 items.

It doesn't change right off the bat how competitive the activity is, but at least it fixes a useless ally a turns it into something that dedicated thief players can look foward to: space beyond the 140 daily cap.

I think they should just lower the commission to maybe 10%. She's a reward so she should be a benefit, not a punishment.

The only reason I can think of to use her is if you are somewhere you can't easily leave, like a dungeon or trial, and suddenly realize your inventory is filled with stolen stuff you forgot to unload. But I've never used her once.

Pirharri the Smuggler - I have never used her, and is really a terrible reward for completing the Thieves Guild.

I use her sometimes when out and about stealing. I unload the cheap stuff so I have more room for the good stuff.

I wouldn't mind if she had inventory slots where we could put stolen items but I think soon her slots would be full and we would start using our own inventory slots again. We would still have the limit of how many things we can launder/fence each day and I know sometimes on a good spree I go over that limit.

Ahh... Pirharri the Smuggler, my least used "reward" who has never ever made it to my quickslot.

If I have a lot of hot stuff a Outlaws Refuges is never so far away that I would actually use her services.

An ignominious ending and almost a punitive recompense for a rather interesting quest line, sorry to say.

They seemed to be worried she'd be OP when they added her, over compensated and she ended up being pretty much useless.

I'd rather have her function like an extension of how many we can sell per day also making thieving more profitable and less of a time waste.

I may have used her once or twice when I first got her but she quickly got relegated to the cellar gathering cobwebs. I personally think they should just dump the fee altogether. Where's the harm in giving us the convenience of not having to go through several loading screens to offload items without getting shafted by fees?

She was fine once, but she didn't get updated to fit the current times
