Is It possible to sell Drugs or othher illigal goods with out useing a fence?

[legeis90]

As the title implies is it possible to sell drugs or other illigal goods (lets say hanish in UC) without useing a fence or shinobi thevies? are there certian shops that will buy them at full price and not report you? if there are is there a way to tell witch ones or figure it out....other than trial and error?

Higher the thievery skill, the higher chance to sell goods that you stole from that same faction without punishment, so maybe goes with With Hanish as well

No, you can't not. Tried it with a character with a Thievery skill above 20, counts as Illegal goods still and was thrown in prison

lol I was wondering if like maybe some bartenders/shop keepers might be willing to buy it... but other wouldnt....ya know if that was a thing

[Marco?]

Well I tried the Holy Nation, and that back fired and even the Thieves won't take it.

think you can only sell it through a fence.

[Marco?]

Well the Holy Nation Fences in Stack doesn't Take them, like it says Smuggling Attempted, and doesn't do anything else

Hatsune is right. I have a thievery skill above 50 and it doesn't matter.

Hashish can't be sold over the counter in the Swamper or Hive villages ?

[Shidan]

Swamper yes, at a fairly low price since they manufacture it themselves. Haven't tried Hivers, though I don't see any reason they wouldn't take it. Won't get a price bonus though of course.

The question was specificly about illigal goods... smuggiling ect. Since Hashish isn't illigal with The Swammpers or The Hivers this wouldn't apply to the situation

Yep my bad,that'll learn me to read all proper like. lol

On topic: When/if NPC trading works again the player might get away with selling drugs out of their own shop counter in a house they've purchased.Dosn't help now but it's something to think about for later.

ooo i like that idea... at least as a practical matter...but dosent really help the whole role play aspect of being a druglord.... I like the idea of riskyer selling methods for more money. I know you can sell to shinobi theives and all but thats basicly 100% safety for 50% of the profit...it be cool if there was the option to take more risk (aka selling it yourself) for a chance at more money

yeah i think if you have the thievery skill maxed (i have 87) or close to it you should at least have a chance of selling to ordinary shopkeepers..

[Shidan]

Honestly, selling of illegal items to a normal shopkeeper makes no sense at all. A shop only buys things in order to sell them later to make profit. They can't sell an illegal item for obvious reasons, and it would have dire consequences to even try to (burned alive or enslaved).

While I do agree that selling drugs to the Shinobi Thieves only is a little lackluster, but normal shopkeepers are not the right answer.

[legeis90]

Oh come on you've never been to a bar where they sell moon shine under the table. Or been to a club that is being used as a front to smuggle drugs? Heck when i was younger there used to be this store caller CD and Game Exchange that shut down because a bunch of them got in trouble when it was found out few of their cashiers were selling pot. Heck I had to fire someone last year for selling drugs out of the warehouse had the police walk them out in cuffs and everything.

So no I don't think all shopkeeper should do it but every now and then I think there should be 1 who will. Makes the risk of figuring out which ones more exciting. Also maybe dialogue that gives you hints. Like people in the bar talking about doing hashish little clues like that.
