Fence hireling

Am kicking myself for not getting the stolen goods hireling awhile back. Now I’m getting close to 5k crowns with no more coming in until I renew eso+. Does anyone know if that hireling will go on sale again?

    Pirharri the Smuggler, a fence player assistant, is an ingame reward for completing the Thieves Guild DLC.

    Mind, that Pirharri will only buy stolen goods, she won't launder the items. Her cut is 35%, as far as I remember.

    Yeah, the Fence assistant was never for sale. You probably saw something else.

    Banker assistants: Tythis Andromo and Ezabi. Both are from the Crown Store only.
    Merchant assistants: Nuzimeh and Fezez. Both are from the Crown Store only.
    Fence assistants: Pirharri. Comes from completing the Thieved Guild DLC questline.

    That said, the Fence assistant is quite useless. If you're trying to make money from selling stolen goods, she's terrible because she takes 35% of your profit. You're better off with the regular Fences because they pay you full price (plus 10% more if you have the Haggling passive from the Thieves Guild skill line). Also she doesn't Launder at all. So even if you wanted to use her to level Legerdemain (by looting a bunch of low-value crap and selling them just for points), you'd still have to visit an Outlaw's Refuge so you can Launder and get all Legerdemain points that day.

    I recommend getting the Banker instead, that's an actually useful assistant.

    Don't worry about this. The 35% fee makes the smuggler pretty useless.

    The Fence assistant is not completely useless. When leveling Legerdemain, the value of the item matters not, only the count. So when looting ships and docks of 1 Gold valued items, the quickest way to level, the 35% fee is not applied.

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Pirharri is only useful as housing decoration.

    She is quite good at that, though. :)

    The fence is not useless if you have to clear inventory and don't have the time to go to a refuge. I rarely us it, but it is better than destroying stolen items.

    I love putting her in a cage or something, maybe put a fire underneath.....just for taking that 35%!
    This one likes to play.....

    I have the fence chick, but I never use her. 35 percent cut and no laundering? What good is she?

    She is by far the most useless of the three assistants. I do use the other two.

    I'll call her to just keep me company on an assignment. 35% is robbery, no pun intended lol.

    Did not know that and its useful as I'm leveling it on some characters.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    The fence isn't useless (if you forget to clear out before getting into a dungeon or delve) but I have never used her.
