Price on your head

pcgiant · 10-21-2003, 06:34 PM

My master thief carried out a great heist in Ghostgate, stealing an entire set of glass armour. After a long time, he managed to get to Balmora with more than enough gold to pay the price on his head. His bounty was about 156000, and I thought that the thieves guild charged half of your bounty to make it go away. I spoke to the guy, and he offered to remove the bounty for 78000 gold. I accepted. However, I only lost about 12340 gold, instead of the full cost. I thought this was a bug and reloaded, and the same thing happened.

So what I'm asking is, why did this happen? Is there something I'm not aware of, here?

Thanks, pcgiant.

The only thing i can think of, is that they gave you a discount because you're the master.

Seriously though, how the hell did you manage to get such a high price on your head ? Kill an entire village ?

Yes, I am the master. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

No, I didn't kill anyone. You know, in the lower parts of the little Ghostgate tower, where there is an entire set of glass armour (except greaves, which many randomly spawn in a crate nearby)? I just ran in, grabbed everything, used Divine Intervention, and ran ran ran.

So much fun.

Hmm... the master thief bit could be the answer, but just to be sure what is your reputation/fame or whatever. I think that may factor into it.

your merchantile skill and your disposition to that thief guild member might have influence it.

Sorry guy, I think I better clear things up. My character is a self-created class called 'Master Thief'. He isn't the thieves guild master, or anything like that. Sorry for misleading you. When he carried out his thievery, he was a level one character with hardly any gold and wasn't even a member of any factions.

Again, apologies. Hope this clears things up.

Level 1 eh ? That's a pretty gutsy move for a character that low.

How much gold did you carry when you paid the bounty? If you only had 12340 gold, that may be the reason.

I don't think it has got something to do with mercantile or disposition have anything to do with it, that should modify the price the thieves guild offers.

Nope, I had over 100K if I recall correctly.
