emily3989✭✭✭✭✭Once you get a good supply of each type of item (tools, devices, wardrobe accessories, etc) just keep deleting quests from the tip board until you get the counting coverness (sp) or whatever it's called. My quest would auto update and send me to turn in immediately. You can literally do all 30 tip board quests (for achievement) in a few hours if you have the right items in your inventory.
As far as the heists, only thing the least bit exciting for me.
The other daily? If you are a mag. nb, stupid easy, just invis and loot the items next to world bosses, or invis through delve and pick up item. None of them takes me more than about 5 minutes to complete.
edit: Bahara jewelry is not a bad 3 item set tbh.Edited by emily3989 on April 18, 2016 6:48PMThasi - V16 Magblade Vampire PC/NA1 -

✭✭✭I'm done with heists once I do 15. I do the daily Spencer Rye quests though, and I am constantly doing tip board quests. The Covetess Countess is the best repeatable there is, but I don't mind doing the occasional safebox quest but I definitely prefer to avoid Pickpocket quests.

There are 3 of those and they cycle, well, kind of, but with only 3 in the list, the chance of getting the same one each day is pretty good. One for each of the Delves in Hew's Bane. Although one is more an area than a Delve.
ZOS should really flesh those out. They could put these items in any Delve in the game. It would be weeks before we would repeat if they did that.Edited by Nestor on April 18, 2016 7:10PMEnjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

So far I have gotten The Sailor's Pipe (Shark's Teeth Grotto), The Lost Pearls (Ko Estaran), and I forget the title but you rescue captives and recover something (I also forget what) at Thrall Cove. The latter 2 do not require killing the boss but The Lost Pearls requires killing the Lamia surrounding the place.Edited by UltimaJoe777 on April 18, 2016 7:36PMGuildmaster of Power With Numbers in PS4 NA Server's Aldmeri Dominion.

It does sound like a cool idea to put them in other delves @Nestor but I have a thought as to why not. In (almost) every other delve in the game - if you are VR16 you will be overlevelled and ridiculously powerful. You won't gain XP from kills and you won't get any loot.. meanwhile anyone who is at level doing that delve will wander in the a bunch of dead bodies therefore not getting XP or loot....

emily3989✭✭✭✭✭There are 4 - 1 next to each WB and 1 in each delve. Not sure how they are choses from day to day, but I tried deleting once and got the same one, so just did it.
I wish the pick-pocket/lockbox ones were from anywhere, that way I could go back to the zone I am currently questing in and just work on them while I am going from town to town. Forcing me to go to some city/zone I don't care about anymore just to pickpocket is stupid to me, and takes away my fun, why I don't bother with them anymore.Thasi - V16 Magblade Vampire PC/NA0 -

✭✭✭I really like doing the tip board. I actually use it to earn most of my money nowadays because I find it as a fun distraction from the monotony of Vicious Death/Proxy spam in PvP and failed runs of vMoL.
The easy cash flow from all the stolen goods and the get out of jail free cards to make up for my mistakes, makes it a pretty easy way to get gold.
I used to like running heist but it became repetitive pretty quickly, Spencer Rye even more so, and since I already got the achievement, I stopped doing them.

I did this.
I went and a group of people were taking on the Lamia World Boss. I looted the bag for the Quest, then jumped in and helped to finish off the Boss.
It was fun. XD

The level of the Delves would be an issue, and either they Instance those Delves or we accept that the levels are off. The way it stands now, I can do two of the three Hew's Bane Delve dailies with no combat at all, the other one, I probably could get past the mobs, but it's more fun not to. So, combat is not really a focus on those quests. I just know I am bored with them. I would even accept a fetch quest to an Auridon Delve on my VR16 AD's with more anticipation than now. I don't need combat in every quest, and the other Thieves Daily quests don't require combat, so going into a low end Delve or even somewhere on the overland to find something that was taken would be fine with me.
Heck, I like the Pickpocket and Lockbox quests simply because they send me back to places I have not explored in a long time, and there is no combat or level considerations with those. Does every Thief quest have to come with high level combat as an option? We are Thieves after all.
Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

Tommy1979AtWar✭✭✭✭I don't mind anything off the job board as I can do it while I'm passing through wherever and I'm an ingame kleptomaniac anyway.
I don't waste my time with heists, they're not challenging as you can just spam cloak or invis potions, the timer negates the whole point of planning and stealth if you want to run it properly, they're mostly bugged or broken anyway and the loot sucks.
The Spencer Rye jobs are meh, I've only ever had 3 different ones, not sure if there are more but I doubt it as they seem locked to that peninsula, I gave up on them when they started repeating, loot sucks on those too but at least they're not bugged... yet.0 -

✭✭✭One of my characters cannot keep her hands to herself, and I spam the Pickpocket quest pretty liberally.
Like the fact that it provides quest rewards for pickpocketing -- rather than just having NPCs being fancy item containers they become targets for a stylistically different type of quest.
It helps mitigate with my disdain over inability to level up as a thief back when Legerdemain was put in.
Rather than pickpocket solely being about loot farming it provides a way to progress in a sneaky non-combat role.
They are not entirely imaginative, but it rewards a playstyle I have enjoyed through the TES franchise.
Hate the covetous countess quests though. Took my keepsake Skooma Pipe and still have not found a replacement for it.

I'm quite good at genetics (as a subset of biology) because I am an expert (which I know is a tautology).

It _should_ be trivially easy for ZOS to spawn battle levelled instances of any delve for anyone on one of these quests.
This is an extremely good idea of Nestors and I hope that ZOS is listening.
