Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition Guide Quests Thieves Guild Quests

Available Quests

There are 29 different quests available within the Thieves Guild. Twelve of these are Critical Path Quests, while 17 are Radiant Quests or Additional Objectives.

Critical Path Quests

Simply referred to as “quests,” these are the main quests you attempt. All but the first quest require one or more prerequisites, as shown in the following table:

Radiant Quests

These are usually smaller quests and are split into three subsections. There are “Radiant Quests,” which you can opt to attempt and are grouped together as they affect your relationships with the Guild. There are additional objectives that you can complete to strengthen the ties the Thieves Guild have across Skyrim. Finally, there are City Influence Quests (culminating in you becoming the Guild Leader), which complete your Guild domination across this realm, as merchants and new thieves flock to your sewer.

In some cases, the Additional Objectives are randomized. The prerequisites required to begin every Radiant Quest is in the following table:
