what's the point of Pirharri the smuggler?

p00tx · August 2018

Her cut needs to be lower and she needs to be able to launder goods as well as fence.

geonsocal · August 2018

for a 30% cut, no doubt she should do the laundry and clean your home...

Darkestnght · August 2018

I really like have Pirharri the smuggler handy. I really do not care about the 35% because for the most part it is an easy way to pickpocket and steal while leveling a new character then pull her out to unload without missing a beat. Legerman levels up quickly doing this and is one skill line I love the have maxed out.

There is only one point - call her for some fencing when you are on a burglary roll, stole until your backpack is near bursting, then stole some more you really want to take as well, but are too far from the outlaw refugee to want to bother going there. And to make you think twice about doing that all the time, she takes such a large cut for going out and endangering herself.

So, yeah, not very useful at all.

On the other hand, well... you get what you pay for, right? And seeing how she comes for free, well...

Yes, she should be able to Launder items

If she didn't take a cut would anyone ever step foot in an outlaws refuge again? It is to keep those locations/mechanics relevant, and give you a choice of saving time or making more money.

Mhm, I go into the refuges to clear bounties.

Fair point on bounties, although since I am very tight with my gold I have never once paid to get my bounty cleared, I just log off with that alt and wait until the bounty has cleared itself. Also don't get caught :-)

Yes, how else am I going to get my free skull candles?

Add Remains-Silent functionality to Pirharri and she could actually become useful.

Yes, forgot about Remains-Silent, never use her myself, but true, it is easier to access her via the refuges than trekking to the DB sanctuary.

Still, I think the point is convienience should have a cost, it is a "free" assistant after all, unlike the banker and merchant.

yes yes I know she's there to fence to. But her cut is so huge it's simply not worth using her as anything other than a prop in your house.

The banker doesn't take a massive cut, the trader doesn't either (I've used other people's I'm not buying them for that price) so why does Pirharri? Zen, please remover her ridiculous fencing fee.

You expect she's convenience. I get she takes a big cut. You don't like it don't use her. If you don't want to take the time to port back to a town and go to a TG Hall then use it. My question is why take the time to come and complain on the forums about an option that is simply QoL and is your choice to use or not? I'd get this post more if she was the only way to fence in the world.

Salvas_Aren · August 2018

It would be much nicer if she had her own limit or no limit at all, since she claimes a quite large part of the cake.

Would even add more convenience to our little thief needs.

But that 30% can go a long way to getting the fencing housing achievement, (Big pile of gold for house), and also refuge's will make your mail pop, free stuff from Remains Silent, (If you did DB quests), plus normal amenities. Also safe place to open those "Stolen Shipment" crates..

That big pile of gold looks like a big pile of dead leaves. I put mine under a bed so no one has to look at it.

Artemiisia · August 2018

I put her in a dog cage, so it looks like shes in jail, since shes rubbing me more then helping

Smitch_59 · August 2018

I sell her my stolen lockpicks. Even with her cut, it's still 1G each!

DeadlyRecluse · August 2018

If find a thieves trove or something and want to free up my inventory but can't be bothered to go to a proper fence, she gets the call.

I put her in a large basket in my home and when you click on her, she pops up out of the basket like a jack-in-the-box.

I truly lol'd reading this.

There are several places in the game where I turn on autoloot stolen items. She is great for vendoring the 40 gold and less to make room

She gets even better because she uses your daily fencing limit for this. Wait, that's actually bad.

Since I have abandoned all hope of getting Black Market Mogul, the daily limit means nothing to me. And, when leveling alts any transaction counts towards leveling.

It's worth it for the dye alone. And BMM isn't super hard to achieve, I've gotten it on several characters.

And I have autoloot stolen items on, and haven't sold a white item to a fence in forever. Having an addon that sorts those items immediately to the junk file is fabulous!

Haven't done this in forever, either! Still have stacks of unused pardon edicts, thanks to the Covetous Countess quest.

Chrysa1is · August 2018

Thank god she was free eh? I reckon if we payed for her with crowns then she wouldn't have the 35% cut.

Malacthulhu · August 2018

Housing deco, merge that auger skull into her face to change her personality.

Gargath · August 2018

She is faster in getting rid of stolen items than it takes to port to a fence, which usually means 2 loading screens i.e. time wasted.
I hate that she steals gold from me, but ultimately I'd rather turn her on - sell - turn off, than destroy stolen items from inventory. Not worth with few items to make all the loading to a fence, so in these moments she's convenient.

Doesn't it seem kind of backwards that she is only convient for people that do not do a lot of stealing, like maybe if you hock off 50 items at once she should maybe reduce her 30% take down to umm 0%. Even the gold sink aspect of her is completely defeated by this principle. No one is gonna steal 140 items and hock them off to her, they will just go straight to a hideout.

Jamdarius · August 2018

I use her only for housing. 30% cut is just thievery... oh wait she is a thief.

burglar · August 2018

I wish she at least laundered items at a 35% increase ... all those darn coarse chalk's I collect that make me debate whether or not dealing with a loading screen is worth it to keep them.

just refine them. The refined item is not classed as a stolen item.

her cut needs removing. A fence pays you what they pay you and charges someone, that isn't you, more for the item. The cut is a joke.

Its a khajiit you can place in your home.

StormChaser3000 · August 2018

1 She is makes a nice addition to the house interior
2 If you are on a mission you don't want abandon, have bounty and stolen items, and can't avoid guards behind the corner she is an option to minimize your losses. Though honestly I used her only couple times during thieves guild missions.

lardvader · August 2018

With the TG passives for haggling the fee is not to bad.

I use Pirharri as a part of my legerdemain training so I don't have to run to the local den every time.

Not the most useful follower but I use her on a regular basis just to save time.

I love Khajiit. And Senches. And regular cats.

Sometimes when I'm out and about I'll get that Klepto urge to rob a house, not for profit - but just to check stuff out - but of course if I see greens and blues I'm compelled steal and sell, even at discount - how can you turn down 70+ gold for pressing like 5 buttons to steal and get the smuggler out.

I wish she could launder though... even if I had to pay more. She's the only vendor who's missing functionality actually tends to annoy me. Going back to town to repair armor because Nuzimeh can't repair is one thing - but I hate having to go in refuges and deal with 2 more load screens just to reach a proper fence, it's easily the worst assistant - but also "free" with TG.

jaschacasadiob16_ESO · August 2018

Well what are the erchant and banker for anyway? The 3 assistants are there to help lazy people. Honestly, if I steal a huge quantity of items and have a small bounty, I sell it all to her then pay the bounty, so that I don't lose all of them. I only go to the real fence if I need to launder something.

albesca · August 2018

I'm on the fence about this one, but after all she came for free and I just use her services when I'm in the middle of a quest with a full inventory and reaching a hideout would take too long
