Vex’s Additional Jobs

The Burglary Job

Vex requires you to break into a location (usually the residence of a high-ranking or wealthy person) and steal a valuable object that the Thieves Guild can sell. This almost always requires you to wait until any residents of the location have left or to utilize your Sneak and Lockpick talents to unlock one of the location’s doors, steal the valuable, and leave quickly.

The Shill Job

Vex wants you to take a stolen item acquired by the Guild and place it inside the home of a high-ranking person, in order to implicate them in a crime. Aside from taking the usual precautions when entering and exiting the building (ensuring no one sees you inside or out), you must locate a chest or other object that holds items and place the stolen item in it. Remember; only place the specific item you’re carrying!

The Sweep Job

Vex orders you to head to a location the Guild has staked out and believes has numerous high-quality items. You must enter the premises unseen. Once inside, you are to clear the house of a specific number of valuables (and optionally, anything else you can get away with, although this isn’t necessary for this quest). Then return to Vex without arousing suspicion at any time.

The Heist Job

The last type of job Vex has is similar to burglary but with an important difference: You’re taking a valuable item from a store rather than a private residence. As there’s usually someone in a store and in a storeroom where a strongbox usually holds the valuable item, proficient sneaking, usually at nighttime, is the only way to avoid angering the locals and increasing your Bounty (which can occur but is not recommended).
