Shinobi Thieves reputation

[TTR]

So I knocked out a wandering assassin from behind. Even though he did not see me coming I lost 25 rep with the Shinobi Thieves. Is there any way to gain reputation with the Shinobi Thieves back? Doesn't seem I can bring them bounties. Healing won't work above Rep 25 and I don't think fencing stolen goods with them makes the rep go back up?

So if I become hostile with them somehow... is there a pacifier for them?
If I become hostile with them, use the pacifier to reset my rep to 0, can I re-join?

There's no pacifier for the Thieves in vanilla. I suppose in theory you could regain it by picking up downed members, selling them as slaves, and buying them back, which gives a rep gain.

This mod will add a pacifier for them though: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1267224713

Not sure about rejoining, but I don't see why not.

That sounds like an exploit but at least there's a way to do it in vanilla. How do I sell someone as a slave? And if I pick them up does it matter whether they become conscious or not? Can I pick them up and walk forever with them on my back?

You can carry them forever, but if you drop them they will get up and fight or run. (might have like 20 seconds grace.)

Wouldn't call it an exploit...vanilla has factions with pacifiers, so it's a valid game mechanic. No reason, for example, for the Shinobi not to let you buy your way back into their favour...they're running a business afterall... ;)

Anyway, to sell somebody you just take them to a slave shop, (usually in United Cities) and sell them to the trader. Then you buy them back again, cost depends on their stats.

They leave with you, then free them and get a boost. (Something like that...never used it myself.)

Awesome. I'll try it out when I get a chance. Thank you!

Or you could reset your reputation at import then pay another 10,000 cats to rejoin which probably cheaper than using slave shop. Maybe even attack some of them to bring your reputation below 50 and then check with their boss to rejoin.

Yeah I haven't tried importing yet. I use 10 save slots and re-load tons.

If you sell the slave-to-be to the slaver then buy them back they will run off basically saying f you, it's your fault I was enslaved. Drop the slave-to-be in front of the slavers then buy them once they have been enslaved that way.

Put shackles on them first before dropping them.
