Give me a break, thieves guild...

[Black-Tongue]

I'm on my second try at completing it. The first one was bugged because I sold the armor, and now this one will not give me jobs in the right area.

Delvin and Vex never give me anything in Markarth. I tried ALL DAY yesterday to get markarth jobs.

I'm at the point where I'm quitting everything that is not in markarth. Out of 50+ attempts I got 2.

Every other job is in Riften. Seriously? How many times can you change the ledger at the bee and barb, or steal the family heirlooms of Riften's 5 freaking residents?

This radiant quest thing is a bit frustrating. Brynjoff says you are going to be guildmaster after you return the key, but you still have to do all these footpad jobs before you actually have any authority.

I very rarely complain about this game, but just a smidge extra writing here could have made it so much better instead of relying on a very unreliable random quest system. This is probably my favorite guild, and yet the resolution is really quite frustrating...

I read somewhere (on here maybe) that you have to complete five of those jobs in any one city. So if they keep giving you jobs in riften, you'd be good to go?
Maybe it was five of each type. I can't remember /wanders off to look for info

You have to complete 5 jobs in Solitude/Markath/Windhelm/Whiterun the Riften ones don't count, when you do 5 jobs in the cities then a Special job comes up, the jobs don't have to be differant your jobs can be 5 bedlam etc

And just kep trying mate keep refusing the jobs that aren't in the city you want might take a while looks like your unlucky atm!!

On another note i've found a bug i think in the Thieves Guild! the Special items that you can hand into Devlin, it seems if you don't hand them in one at a time as you get them the dialogue option does not appear o sell them to him. i have the last 3-4 and he won't take them!!!

Finally got it. It's actually very cool what you get out of it. I wish the painful mini-quest grinding didn't cheapen the whole experience.

I know that this is an older post but I have recently switched to the PC version and during my first play through I ran into this issue. Neither Delvin or Vex have offered me a Markarth quest for the last 75+ job requests. Thinking my game was bugged out I searched around on the web and found out that it is something that has happened to quite a few ppl. Rather than recycling through the quest per the suggestion of pretty much every site I have read about this, I found a mod on Steam and Nexus that allows you to pick the city that you want to do your Radiant Side quests for the types of quests.

It is called Localized Thieves Guild Jobs and it is located here on Steam and here on Nexus if you want to save yourself the trouble of recycling through quests.

After installing it I was able to pick The Reach specifically and was well on my way to finishing up the quests to receive the special job request for Markarth.
