Black Market Mogul and the Thieve's Guild Heists

Dapper Dinosaur · December 2017

So, the heists you do in the Thieve's Den reward you with treasure items that have already been laundered. Wouldn't it be infinitely more useful if the heists gave you the items still considered stolen, so they could be used to accelerate the Black Market Mogul and laundering achievements? It even says for the reward container that the contents were "obtained less than legally", so why are they already considered clean when you get them?

It would also give players a reason to do the heists (much less get that DLC in particular) after they finish their thieve's guild motif book.

1. The flip side is that laundered goods do not count against your daily fence cap. In other words, they are giving you extra gold in the form of inventory trash.

2. Laundering by definition is about taking things (money, goods, et cetera) that were obtained illegally and making them look like they had been obtained legally. That is the point.

3. If you cannot figure out how to steal and fence 110 items per day (assuming only one skill point in the passive) outside of heists...I do not think anyone can help you.

I'm 350k through the achievement already (haven't put in a concerted effort for this for more than a week) and have every relevant passive. I'm just saying if the heists gave you stolen goods instead, it could help shave some time off the normal stealing cap.

I like the fact that they're already laundered, because I can turn around and use them for the Covetous Countess tip board quests without having to pay anything for laundering.
