In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, pilfering goods offers a tempting shortcut to riches, but be warned—there are consequences. Selling stolen items directly is tricky; most merchants will refuse your ill-gotten gains, and getting caught with them can land you in jail. However, there are ways to turn those stolen goods into gold.
Selling Stolen Items in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
The simplest method is to stash your loot in a chest. After a week or two of in-game time, the "stolen" marker on the item will vanish, allowing you to sell it to any merchant NPC without issue. This waiting period is crucial, as guards will arrest you if they find stolen items in your inventory during a search, unless you can bribe your way out of trouble.
While waiting, remember that stolen items are flagged when viewed in your inventory. This flag makes them impossible to sell to most traders. Storing them safely removes the immediate risk of arrest.
To expedite the process, consider unlocking the "Hustler" and "Partner in Crime" perks under the Speech skill tree. These perks eliminate the need to wait, letting you sell stolen goods freely. Prioritizing these perks early in the game can significantly streamline your thieving operations.
Alternatively, fences offer a less time-consuming option. Early in the game, you can find one operating in the Nomads' Camp.
How Long Until You Can Sell Stolen Items?
The time it takes for the "stolen" marker to disappear varies depending on the item's value. More expensive items require a longer waiting period. Plan accordingly, as waiting times can fluctuate.
