If someone doesnât know, in Skyrim âPicky Sloadâ is a pirate ship, and to get here, your hero must have at least level 8. This place can be found if you go northeast of Solyutida, and if you look at Solityudsky lighthouse, you must go from it to the southwest. You should know that the location is updated, and this happens every 10 days.
When you approach the ship, you will see two pirates on the deck. One is looking at the sea, and the other is standing near the captainâs cabin. Here you need to think about whether you want to go ahead or slip quietly, like a mouse. In this case, watch the second pirate - he must leave for the cabin, and the door will not be locked. But remember that the first one can turn at any moment, you have to run very fast.
How to get a quest
This quest is given from the thieves guild. You must complete five tasks from 2 people. It will be either Delvin Mellory or Wex. Delvin - the elderly, is considered the main member of the Guild. Usually he is in a tavern called "Violent Flask". You can look at it in the photo.
You will find this tavern in the Riften tunnels, people call this place the Rat hole. By the way, an interesting fact: Delvin is just a copy of Stanham, which is not surprising, since it is copied from it.
Wex is also in the tavern. She is a tough girl, she constantly says that she has little time. Asks to talk on the merits. Either self-interest or the benefit of the guild is important to her.
As soon as the hero completes 5 tasks from them in Skyrim, the quest "Picky Sload" will be immediately available to him.
Assignment from Delvin and Vex
By the way, when completing the quest "Picky Sload" in Skyrim, you will pick up an unusual stone, the task will appear: "Talk to Veks." There, the girl will explain to you that this is the stone of Barenziah, but just like that you will not sell it. Separately, they are useless, but all 24 pieces are sold. Usually they can be found somewhere in a cave, in a crypt or at an important NPC.
Either Delvin or Vex will give you tasks, and as soon as you complete five, you will receive a quest. The meaning of the implementation is to increase the influence of the thieves guild in the city. As soon as this happens, different merchants will come to the guild, and you can get the title of chapter.
You can only do 2 quests from both characters at once. They are usually given randomly, but you can refuse some task and take another. Experienced players are advised to choose one city to complete two tasks.
What is
So, in Skyrim, the âFastidious Sloadâ begins with the fact that Tan Erikur asks to make a substitute for the captain: you need to throw something bad into the chest in the hold of the ship. At the same time, Erikur is either near his house, or somewhere near the castle.
This "bad" is Balmor blue - a rather rare drug that you have to find. The âScarlet Wave" - ââthe vessel on which Sabina Nitt is located, will help you with this.
She will give you the bottle, but will require 500 gold in return. There are several options for dialogue with her: requests to work out will increase the price threefold, but if the hero begins to resent, then he will have to look for the drug himself.
To do this, grab the keys from Sabinaâs pocket, they will go to the chest and to the safe. Next, go down the ship and look for a safe there, where the note will lie. It says the drug is in a chest that is hidden under a ship. A platform leads to the ship; you must jump to the right. At the bottom are piles, there is also a chest. Once you find the drug, return to the ship and put it in the chest.
How to do it
It is recommended to upgrade your stealth skill in advance. This will allow you to sneak quickly past the guards of the finicky Sload ship.
Next, look at the entrance, on the right you will find a backpack, helmet and chest. On the left is the kitchen, where two pirates are sitting. In it you can find different foods. You go first through the door, then past the table. On the left will be a cabin where there are various ingredients and a pirate sleeps. By the way, when you open the door, he will wake up.
Next, go down the stairs. There you will find a hold flooded with water and a bandit who will attack you. Do not forget to search the hold, you will see chests with different ingredients, as well as cabins.
You need a door that is straight. There are shelves and a chest. There are 2 potions in the chest, and the rest depends on the level of the character.
In the hold - in its far part - is the room where the senior assistant sits. On the table are very useful things: poison, Unusual stone, a useful book called "Dance on Fire", t. 6. If you read it, you will increase eloquence.
The assistant can fight with two-handed weapons, you have to kill him. You will find a key in his pocket, and in the cabin there is a wardrobe and two chests.
There is no quest!
Sometimes players write that they canât complete the Skyrim quest âPicky Sloadâ. There is usually a reason for this: the player has previously completed a special task from Delvin or Veks associated with the help of Ericou. But in the magazine this quest is not displayed in any way, and Delvin and Vex are silent about this, as well as Erikur.
To take the quest, you need a console command. As you know, the console is called by the tilde sign. You type: SetStage TGTQ02 10 and you get the quest "Picky Sload". This bug is quite old, however, players continue to face it.
It happens that you did the above, but, alas, that did not work either. Then you need to put an unofficial patch for Skyrim. It is this one: 2.1.3b.
It should be remembered that if you have any left-handed plug-ins, you should definitely install an unofficial patch. And after installation, write the above command, and the quest should begin.
Other bugs
There are also bugs that are slightly related in Skyrim to the Fastidious Sload, and although remotely, they can also ruin your life. For example, you sell Delvin 7 items, and he takes only 6 and not at any. Usually such a bug occurs if before you sell him the name you take from Veks a small quest. That is why you must first hand over the items, and then take the quest from Vex.
Suppose you have handed over a certain number of items - less than 6. But for some reason the tasks are shown as completed, while the reward for them is not given, and you can find items in the inventory. Experienced players are advised to collect 6 items and turn in exactly 6! Only then you need to look for the seventh.
It so happens that Delvin does not want to buy a Falmer eye. You will find this thing on the dead Mercer, there are 2 of them, but you can take only the right one. You canât take the left one - remember this! When you come to the surface, press the tilde to open the console. Next you need to write this: player.additem 0001994f 1.
Thus, the left eye miraculously gets into your inventory. Next, in the console, write: setstage TGLarceny 80, and you have a task to take Delvin's eye. Remember to do this and get your reward.
I can not go to the location
Very rarely, but a bug occurs when the hero for some reason canât be transported to the location in Skyrim to the âFastidious Sloadâ,
Such cases are noted as isolated, but still have a place to be. Basically, the hero does not want to teleport. To go to the location "Fastidious Sload", you need to open the console and write there: DaintySload01. After which the movement usually occurs.
You can also try this command: DaintySloadExterior01 (sometimes the unit at the end is replaced by a deuce).
Double booty?
The most important thing to know is that you can get prey in Skyrim "Picky Sload" 2 times. How to do it?
You already read above that to get the quest you need to go through 5 tasks from Veks or Delvin. So, go there before completing all 5 tasks. You have to kill the first mate, the captain, as well as the corsairs.
Then you get the quest and come again. All-all the items you found on the ship will be restored again, and your prey will be doubled.
