Sometimes ... even for a Weaver, it's hard to resist

There's a difference when a Weaver decides to hit the streets in the middle of the night compared to those so-called thief guilds. With the ability to bind a few spells, one may attempt to get past locked doors or even slip by posted guards undetected. Even when the unexpected occurs, a member of the Auren Society of Weavers can still bind a weave to charm someone, or paralyze them to buy some of that extra time just to slip back into the shadows.

But what happens when everything works as planned and you find yourself inside? Should all that hard work go to waste? Slipping through locked doors is one thing, but are you the type of Weaver that has deep pockets too?

This should sell for a good number of shards


Stealing from shops is designed to be different than stealing from a home or a room at a local inn. A home or an inn room will not have a full selection of items to steal and because of this, items stolen from such places will not be marked as stolen. For the most part, homes and inn rooms offer unique encounters with those who dwell within and little odds and ends to stuff into one's pockets.

I'm not a thief, honest!


But breaking into a shop in the middle of the night to make off with a slew of stolen items, are marked as being stolen. Such items can be used freely as any other item normally would, just as if you paid for it in shards. What you won't be able to do, is sell it back to the same vendor.

You can easily take everything from a shop but by doing so, you run the risk of shutting the shop down. As time goes by during the adventure and the shop has closed due to stock theft, it will no longer be able to offer new items as you gain new levels.

An interesting ... stolen item


So how does selling stolen items work? The exact same way you'd sell a regular item, via The Stitchmen, who handle all transactions within the city of Kharé. They're a faction that keep the city clean, sniffing about in corners crunching and recycling what they find or are given, back to the shops of the city. The downside of this, is that the return on the items are far less than their true value.

Whispers are shared of a new thief in town


Be mindful that you're a member of the Auren Society of Weavers and not a member of a local thief guild. All the best if they learn you're responsible for the recent thefts on their turf.
