Common Issues with “Steal 500 Gold in Goods from Raven Rock”
Several players encounter issues when trying to complete the Bedlam Job in Raven Rock (Solstheim). The main problems include:
- Stolen items do not count toward the 500 gold requirement.
- Even after stealing valuable goods, the quest remains incomplete.
