Stealing may work well in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, but selling all those stolen goods is not that easy. Because regular merchants do not accept stolen things, you need some other way to earn Groschen. Thankfully, there are a few good ways to convert hot loot into clean profit, by waiting for the stolen tag to fade, through improving your Speech skills, or by finding certain traders who deal in stolen goods. In this guide, we will walk you through the best ways to sell stolen items and maximize your earnings.
How To Sell Stolen Items
In Kingdom Come: Deliverance, merchants won’t buy stolen goods, but there are still ways to make a decent amount of Groschen. One effective method is to stash the stolen items in your chest, which you can find near beds where you sleep to restore energy. By leaving them there for a week or two in-game, the stolen tag will eventually disappear, letting you sell the items to any merchant without suspicion. It’s a simple but reliable trick to turn stolen loot into legitimate profit.
As you advance in the game, your Speech Level improves through conversations, successful speech checks, and haggling. At level 10, you can unlock the Hustler perk, and at level 20, you gain access to the Partner in Crime perk. These perks make it easier to sell stolen items by allowing you to trade them with regular merchants without any trouble, giving you a smoother way to profit from stolen goods.
If you need Groschen fast and can’t afford to wait, your best option is to find a Fence. The first one you will come across is Fence Whitebeard, located in the Nomad’s Camp west of Troskovitz, the starting town. He’s willing to buy stolen goods and offers a fair price for them. However, the downside is that he only has 240 Groschen to trade, so if you have stolen multiple high-value armors, you won’t be able to sell everything to him in one go.
Tips
- If you’re not in a rush, stash stolen items in your chest and wait a week or two in-game. This will remove the stolen tag, allowing you to sell them to any merchant.
- Engage in conversations, succeed in speech checks, and haggle often to improve your Speech Level. Unlocking perks like Hustler (at level 10) and Partner in Crime (at level 20) makes it easier to sell stolen goods to regular traders.
- Some special merchants, known as Fences, will buy stolen items. The earliest available is Fence Whitebeard in the Nomad’s Camp west of Troskovitz.
- Fences have limited money (e.g., Whitebeard only has 240 Groschen), so if you have expensive stolen goods, consider selling them in smaller batches or finding multiple Fences.
- Selling stolen items alongside legitimate ones can sometimes trick merchants into accepting them without question, though this method isn’t always reliable.
- Getting caught with stolen goods can lead to trouble, so avoid selling in areas where you’re already under suspicion. Save your game before making risky trades.
