A new event is now live in The Elder Scrolls Online and invites everyone to make a dishonest living. In the new Crime Wave mini-event, players get to experience increased rewards when doing some rather "not so good" actions.
During this mini-event, players can enjoy 100% increased Fence interactions and 25% increased gold received for sales of stolen goods to Fences. What makes it better is that these bonuses stack additively with other similar bonuses.
Ill-Gotten Gains
Players also receive a Pouch of Ill-Gotten Goods for each Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild daily quest that they complete during the mini-event. However, this is not applicable to repeatable non-daily quests.
Everyone has the chance of obtaining a Pouch of Ill-Gotten Goods from any criminal activity they undertake like pickpocketing or even looting a murdered citizen. Of course, the pouches are, like with other items obtained in this way, remain subject to confiscation by guards for those who get caught.
The chance of getting a pouch of Ill-Gotten Goods though goes up along with the bounty. What this means is that those who continue to be upstanding in the eyes of the law, have a lower chance of getting these illicit rewards. The more crime players commit, the more it pays.
Pouches of Ill-Gotten Goods always contain sellable contraband, and may also contain any of these:
- Furnishings obtainable through theft.
- Several new furnishings.
- Rogue’s Potions and Monk Disguise consumables.
- A new tradeable consumable item that grants XP in the Legerdemain skill line.
- Bounty pardons, including an extremely low chance of a pardon for one million gold.
