While pilfering goods might seem like a quick way to boost your funds and acquire valuable items in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, it comes with its own set of challenges. Selling stolen loot isn't as straightforward as you might think; most merchants will refuse to buy anything marked as stolen, and getting caught with ill-gotten gains can lead to a quick trip to jail. So, how do you successfully offload your ill-gotten treasures?
The simplest method is to utilize your inventory chest. Store your stolen goods, wait a week or two in-game, and the "stolen" marker will vanish. Once the mark disappears, you can sell the items to any regular trader NPC without issue.
The reason for this delay is the game's mechanics. Stolen items are flagged when acquired through methods like lockpicking or pickpocketing. Guards will readily arrest you if they discover these items during a search, unless you can bribe your way out of trouble. Storing the items allows time for the "heat" to die down, effectively removing the stolen tag.
To expedite this process, consider investing in the "Hustler" and "Partner in Crime" perks under the Speech skill tree. These perks will let you sell stolen goods without any repercussions, making them a worthwhile investment early on.
Alternatively, fences provide a discreet outlet for stolen goods. Early in the game, you can find a fence operating within the Nomads' Camp.
How Long Does It Take?
The time it takes for the stolen mark to disappear varies depending on the item's value. More expensive items will naturally take longer to become untraceable, so plan accordingly.
