Does Vex run out of jobs?
Vex, a legendary leader of the Thieves Guild in the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, can indeed run out of jobs. However, the reasons for this and the solutions are quite complex. In this article, we will dive deeper into the world of Vex and the Thieves Guild to explore when and why Vex can run out of jobs, as well as how you can overcome this issue.
No, Vex doesn’t run out of jobs
At first, it may seem like a simple answer: Vex will never run out of jobs. However, it’s not that straightforward. As you progress through the game, you’ll soon discover that Vex can exhaust her list of jobs and ask you to complete extra ones to fill the queue. But why does this happen?
The issue of Riften
As you may know, Vex has a special set of jobs for each city, except for Riften. When you complete a certain number of jobs for a city, Vex will offer you a specific quest, which will complete the city’s job counter. However, if you don’t complete the city’s job counter, those jobs won’t count. Riften is the main culprit here, as finishing jobs in Riften will not count towards the other cities.
How to keep Vex busy
So, how can you keep Vex busy without running out of jobs?
• Complete the Riften job counter: Try to complete the Riften job counter to ensure you get the most out of your job list. This is the main reason why some players may experience Vex running out of jobs. Finishing the Riften job counter will help.
• Ask Vex for extra jobs: boldWhen Vex says she has no jobs, try asking her to give you more. Most of the time, you’ll get an extra few jobs to complete.
• Save before talking to Vex: Don’t forget to save before asking Vex for jobs. If she runs out of jobs after talking to her, your save will be corrupted!
