So I'm the master of the Thieves Guild. I did all the City Quests, went through the ceremony, got the new armor, etc.

I have a few questions

1. I've read that one somehow gets 20,000 once this happens. I know for sure it does with the DB as I've now done that storyline three times.

2. How do I open the vault in the Cistern?

3. Where is the Guild chest that I've read about that has all the cool stuff in it?

4. The Thieves Guild marker thingies that are on certain buildings throughout Skyrim: I've read that once you become Master of the TG that there are barrels near these signs that contain worthwhile loot. For example, in Whiterun these marks are etched into both the alchemy shop (drawing a blank on the name right now) as well as the general store; but there's no barrels around with anything in them.

Thanks in advance for any answers.

Hate to do this, but... bump.

1. I finished the TG quests and didn't get any extra gold.

2. I'm not sure what's up with the vault in the Cistern. Most of the time it's locked (needs key) when I go in there, but sometimes it's open.

3. There's a Guild Masters chest in front of the table Mercer used to be before you took over. You should have gotten the key when you became Guild Master.

4. For some reason none of the barrels spawned in Whiterun or Solitude for me after I became Guild Master.

Hope that helps.

Thanks. That's my experience exactly... which pretty much answers all my questions. Thanks.
