The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints

Plant Viola's Gold Ring in Viola Giordano's House.

  • 1 of 7: Talk to Revyn Sadri in the Sadri's Used Wares shop in Windhelm about nothing there being stolen, then agree to return the ring for him.
  • 2 of 7: You could go straight to Viola Giordano's house on the other side of town, but it's best to first find Viola herself. Look around town during the daytime until you find her wandering around.
  • 3 of 7: You then have two choices. You can pickpocket her key to make getting into her house easier, or you can talk to her and tell her about the ring.
  • 4 of 7: If you tell her about the ring, you'll fail the objective, but you'll get a leveled amount of gold. However, finishing the objective will get you the same amount of gold and more.
  • 5 of 7: To complete the objective, find Viola's house and pick the door's lock if you didn't pickpocket her key.
  • 6 of 7: Turn right after entering to find the dresser that you're supposed to put the ring in. (It's called "Viola's Gold Ring," and it's in the apparel section of your inventory.)
  • 7 of 7: After placing the ring, return to Revyn Sadri and tell him you placed the ring to get a leveled amount of gold plus the option to buy Speech skill training up to skill level 50.
