What are the benefits of doing the radiant quests from the thieves guild

the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

I have done several dozens of the radiant quests from Vex and Delvin and earned a lot of money doing this. Beside the coin, does it make sense to do those quests?

In the beginning I thought that doing them will enable the special quests to retake certain cities, but after I while it felt more like those special quests become available as I level up.

How do those radiant quests really work? Do the influence other plot lines or are they just cheap fillers to get some money?

Best Answer

The special quest for a particular city is unlocked after you've done 5 radiant quests in that city. When you complete a special job in the city, you get one (or more) of these benefits:

  1. Increase the amount of money available to all fences in the game.
  2. Some of those quests add an additional thieves guild fence to that area.
  3. Add another merchant (not a fence) to the Ragged Flagon (guaranteed).

Also, you will need to complete all these special quests before you are given the chance to become the guild master, which has its own set of benefits.
