Most of the best Thieves Guild quests inOblivion Remasteredgive you important items to target and steal, like Ahdarji’s Ring. While it might not seem like more than a trinket to us, it has deep sentimental value for its owner. The time will come for you to steal objects that could change the course of history, but for now, it’s time for a little practice.
There’s no doubt that Ahdarji’s negative attitude makes finding the ring during this quest a bit bittersweet, but at least there’s a reward waiting for you at the end. First, you’ll need to perform some careful reconnaissance before you can make your move.
How To Start Ahdarji’s Heirloom
After you’vecompleted The Elven Maidenand sold 200 gold or moreof stolen goods to a Thieves Guild fence, you’ll be able tospeak to S’krivva in Bravilto receive your next assignment, Ahdarji’s Heirloom. Your time reporting to Armand is over.
Travel to Bravil, where, as long as you’ve fenced 200 gold, S’krivva will have a special task waiting for you.
During the day, you’ll find S’krivva at her house, while at around 8:00 in the evening, she’ll make her way over to the Lonely Suitor Lodge.
Speak to S’krivva and select ‘Thieves Guild special jobs’ to progress the quest. Ahdarji’s Heirloom tasks you with helping the widow of a former fence, who had a precious ring stolen from her by a freelanceThief– something the guild frowns upon.
