how to get the master thief achievement

this is a guide to one of the easiest ways to get one of the hardest achievements in skyrim the "master thief" achievement. to get this you need the get a bounty of 1000 in every hold this includes, Eastmarch, Falkreath Hold, Haafingar, Hjaalmarch, The Pale, The Reach, The Rift ,Winterhold Hold, and Whiterun Hold.

how to get the achievement itself

make sure you save before doing this because this will cause all guards and people to try and kill you.

now the first step is to go to one of the holds and kill a guard with someone as witness.
Once the guard is dead you will instantly get 1000 bounty in that hold.

once you've gotten the bounty get out of the hold as quick as you can.

i would suggest stealing a horse if there is a stable nearby, or alternatively using the wagon to go to one of the holds but it is tricky to pull off because the guards will be pursuing you.

now once you've gotten the bounty 1000 in all holds reload the save you did at the beginning and the achievement will be kept but you can continue play as normal.

Also please give award it took me forever to figure out a good consistent method to get 1000 bounty. this took a lot of trial of error.
