Hi do you think this would help trigger the quest ? Im in the middle of playghthrough i bought the house helped to several citizens in riften but im sitll not able to get the quest for becaming a thane its bugged out for me always in riften starting a new game would probably solve this issue but that is way to much progress.... and So far this is only bug i had and i did remember that i had this bug before i did played skyrim like 2 years ago starting a new game did resolve the bug but back than i did not had done such progress as now.
Well there already is a mode like that with Failsafe mechanic but that one looks like its not working even afther following instruction. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/12349 I did try to launch a new game and afther Whiterun go directly to Riften i will do few quest and see if it will be fixed this time and if not i will load my normal safe and continue from there. EDIT: Well it turned out that i was stupid the whole way. Riften does not have the favor Requiares but you have to help the argonian at fishery to start quests to became a thane. I did totally forgot on this so my mistake and here i tought i have a game braking bug :D
Ah, glad you've got it worked out! If I can think of a good way to implement it, I might see if I can think of a way to get the Jarl to point you to the Docks or the Fishery as a signpost for starting the quest. As you say, it is the only Thane quest which doesn't actually even start with the Jarl herself.
Yeah the quest in Solutide is pretty straight forward you simply go to the palace and there is a talk about a cave and you simply ask on it afther the scene is over but as you say in riften is no leed to the quest i did stumble upon it by looking at wikipedia. :D
It always floored me why Riften's thane quest didn't work like the others. If I may ask, if you haven't already done so, could you make it so the Riften thane quest resets if the hold changes hands in the civil war, so you can regain your thaneship like in the other holds?
Hey! Quick question, how would this work along with Andrealphus' Harder Quests which increases the number of people you need to help to 12 (minor) and 20 (major). If it can be used together, it would be really cool!
Um, you realize that the skooma den quests ARE the Riften Thane favor quests? They're just quests where the player actually takes the initiative instead of having it spoon fed to them by the Jarl.
Yeah indeed, as Blackread said. Only one of those Skooma Den is a countable Favor quest (the first one, where you help Wujeeta cure her skooma addiction).
The rest of the Skooma Den quests are directly equivalent to the "Friends of the Jarl" step in the other holds (Jarl's Tribute + Kill the Bandit Leader for Siddgeir, Find the Helm of Winterhold for Korir, Kill the Giant for Skald, Kill the Forsworn Briarheart + Find Hrolfdir's Shield for Igmund, Take Torygg's Horn to the Shrine for Elisif). Some of those are technically Favors, but don't actually count for the Thane requirement anyway since you're doing work for the Jarl, not for the people.
So, if I'm reading this right, does it mean that quests such as clearing the spiders from the mine in Shor's Stone will count towards thaneship? Also, the vanilla Riften thaneship requires three misc quests in Riften - is it still three with this mod, or have you upped it to five to match the other holds?
A great idea, I'm tracking it for my next playthrough (too late for the current one!).
Yes, clearing the spiders from the mine will count, as will retrieving Dravin's Bow at Merryfair Farm, collecting Jazbay Grapes for Sarethi Farm, delivering Sylgja's letter to Darkwater Crossing, and some of the quests in Ivarstead (but not Lifting the Shroud I think).
And yes, the requirement is increased to five like the other holds, as it uses the same counter. (You can also increase that value further with my other new mod, Thane Me Slower.)
