From Rags to riches huh?... What's the most expensive item you've stolen so far, criminals?

I am yet to steal anything to really tell me this skill line may actually make me more money than crafting 100 daggers and selling them to Lupe...

Have you found anything worth the grind?

    Does 2 Imperial motifs in under 24 hours count?

    Imperial motifs. Sold one, gave the other to my clothier/woodworker.

    I don't remember the names of the items, but I think the most expensive I've stolen so far was worth 250 gold. constantly finding things worth 100 gold is probably what fuels my thieving obsession. :grimace:

    Each blue item can be sold to the fence for 250 gold, and you can sell around 100 per day IIRC. Easiest way to fill up with blue items is to kill a lot of NPCs if you don't mind a high bounty.

    As I posted in the PTS thread, I came across an Epic purple item on the NA server.

    How much do you sell each dagger for, and do you factor in the cost of materials? Even just selling white 30 gp items will net you 1,500 gp a day every day in a town like Daggerfall. If you find any regular clothes, sell that in zone chat. The right items will fetch 1000+ gold.

    I also have been lucky to find a purple unique item called Rahjin's Final Cups, but I didn't sell it, I laundered it and kept it:) For those interested I found it in a Master locked Safebox and is the only one I have seen so not sure how many other possible locations there are for the purple items.

    Easily the most valuable items I have stolen are the recipes, the ones that were added in patch 1.6 are worth a lot.

    I also found the Imperial Motif (2 days ago) and I still needed that personally so I used it and got my achievement and dye:D

    As far as direct selling I doubt there are more valuable items than the purple 750gold ones, but with laundering rare motifs would likely be the answer for most valuable.

    That's a keeper.

    Make sure to keep that away from certain ancient Vampires.

    Why do MMO players refer to every single thing as a "grind"? -_-

    I also got a purple item worth 750g from pickpocketing an NPC. That is the most expensive fenced item I have found. Of course as previously mentioned if you find motifs and recipes and launder them they are the most valuable but the purple 750g items seem to be the highest non-laundered item thus far.

    I found a Purple in a safebox yesterday - some kind of giant Dwemer crossbow bolt iirc. It was also 750 to sell to the fence. I have found a multitude of recipes with the most valuable netting me 15k after laundering and putting on my Guild Store (sold in a few hours too).

    I make 8-11k each day selling stolen goods, and I don't even have the final trafficker passive yet. It's great profit if you don't get caught ;)
