What is the best place to 'harvest' stolen goods?

freespirit · May 2017

I leveled 2 characters in Ledgerdemain in the Riften bank........

There are 2 trunks, a wardrobe and 3 sacks behind a divider, also a lockbox spawns there.....

All of these don't even need sneak the guard stands the other side of the divider as one of his points but stand in the right place he never see's you.....

At the other end there is a backpack, desk and 3 sacks, if the guard is at the divider then these are also "safe", well except the backpack I sneak for that.

Best thing of all.....

Leave bank turn right and the entry to the refuge is just there, unload and return to bank which has reset cos you entered the refuge!!

Bal Foyen is the best spot as it has 7 or 8 respawning lockboxes all in the same room with no guards and a couple outside that crafting area...which is the best spot to do basic crafting as it has all stations and banker in a tight knit room.
The surrounding area is full of nodes.

I share this now as I'm leaving the game and don't care if people clog it up any more

lots of spots where you can't be apprehended: hallin's stand, velyn harbor, hollow city, etc...

belkarth is the best city to travel to and slip off to the thieves den...

You can be apprehended in Hallin's Stand, the place is full of guards... Thank goodness for Counterfeit Pardon Edicts

For treasures to sell, Davon's Watch piers. There's a ship on the left, with crew, but also has at least 1 thieves trove (maybe 2), and 1 treasure chest spawn down below. The ship on the right is much less manned, and for the most part, you can steal without even crouching, just be careful.

Also, inside the Vulkhel Guard's Guard House at the end of the beach nearest the writ drop-off point, again you can steal any and all with no crouching even necessary. You'll get more common provisioning mats here, but you'll still get treasures, greens & even blues. I did get a purple here once. You'll wanna keep an eye on which barrels you hit too. The ones that are tapped will always give up only leveled white drinks, so you'll wanna hit the ones that are not tapped, for best shots at the treasures.

Almost forgot, Daggerfall Castle has a pretty good number of treasures in its containers as well...also, in the master bedroom upstairs, on the left, there's a treasure chest spawn, that, in my experience, is always a master

brief correction, in the davon's watch ships, the left one does have the treasure chest down below, but the thieves troves spawn points, and there are 2 of them, are in the right ship on the lower level

Another thing, this might be severely obvious, but just in case...when you're at a spot that you wanna farm, when you're done hitting all the containers, just log off/on, and the containers all reset...

I've had the thieve's troves spawn at each end of each ship, down in their hulls.
