Thieves Guild Armor is an amazing lightweight armor designed for thieves in Skyrim. It is a leather armor that offers more defense than Elven armor.
You can get this Thieves Guild armor set after completing 2 non-combat quests in Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and in this guide, we will tell you how you can do that.
Thieves Guild armor location in Skyrim
All the places from where you can find the Thieves guild Armor set are given below.
From Tonilia in Riften
To get the Thieves Guild Armor, the first person you can go to is Tonilia. She is a member of Thieves Guild in Riften, who will give you the Guild armor once you have started the “Loud and Clear” quest.
Go and talk to her after completing the initial requirements, and she will give you the complete Thieves Guild Armor set in Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
From Ragged Flagon – Cistern
It is the Thieves Guild headquarters where you can find many members of the Guild, including the Brynjolf, during the quest line.
Once here, you can find a complete set of Thieves Guild Armor in the Training Room area on tables and cupboards. If you look around the beds, you can find a hood, gloves, and a pair of boots.
After completing the “Under New Management” quest, you will also get a Guild Master’s Armor. This armor set will have to improve stats for every armor piece.
Without Joining the Guild
There is a way in which you can get this fantastic armor without joining the Guild. But the armor you get in this way will be marked as stolen. If the guards catch you, they will remove the armor as you don’t get it through the fair Trade In method.
But still, we will guide you on how to get this armor without joining the Guild. You will need three things to get the armor which are given below.
- Whirlwind Sprint
- Platter x2
- Potion of Enduring Invisibility
Once you have all the required items, complete the Taking care of the Business quest so Brynjolf can invite you to Cistern. Once you get there, ignore him and head to the area on your right.
Here you will see a closet next to some wooden crates. Put the Platter on its door and use the Whirlwind Sprint to enter. Again repeat the process on the inside wall of the closet to sprint through.
It will take you inside the Cistern. To prevent guards from watching you; remove anything you wear to reduce the noise. If you have a high sneak level, it will be great.
Now move ahead slowly and wait for guards to get away. Use the Potion of Enduring Invisibility to stay hidden. You must first go to the center and then turn left to enter the hallway. Because if you follow the left side path, the guard sleeping there will hear you.
Move forward through the hallway, and you will reach the chamber where you can find the complete Thieves Guild armor set. To get out, you have to follow the same method of dodging the guards.
This time instead of turning right from the center, head straight to get out of there quickly and safely using the ladder.
