The Elder Scrolls IV: Knights of the Nine Hints

Service People

  • * Fence: Khafiz is an expert Mercantile trainer, and he gives store services in the small northern cave area between 10 am and 11 pm. He sells lockpicks and buys stolen goods just like any Thieves Guild fence (even if you're not a guild member). He has 1500 gold and his Mercantile skill is only 48, making him way better to sell to than any of the Thieves Guild fences. Also, even though all the other guys listed below will buy stolen goods, they don't have as much money, and they don't buy as wide a variety of items.

    * Fletcher: Melliwin is an expert Marksman trainer, and sells a wide variety of Restoration spells (and Soul Trap). Between 9 am and 9 pm, she also sells some bows and arrows (including some enchanted ones) at the SE corner of the cove's upper area.

    * Security Expert: Tahm Blackwell is an expert Security trainer, and sells several security- and sneak-related spells. Between 8 am and 8 pm, he also sells some stuff (including potions that fortify the Security skill) at the NW corner of the cove's upper area, near the Captain's Quarters. Near his area is a Training Chest that automatically relocks every time you lockpick it, allowing for unlimited Security skill practice!

    * Spymaster: Kovan Kren is an expert Sneak trainer, and sells several sneak-related spells. Between 7 am and 8 pm, he also sells various light armor (including some enchanted armor) at the NE corner of the cove's upper area.

    * Supplier: Jak Silver is an expert Speechcraft trainer, and he sells various items (including lockpicks) between 10 am and 11 pm in his shop on the ship's middle deck. You can legally plunder his shop area for some silver items, including a silver bow.
