In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, pilfering goods can be a tempting way to boost your resources, but it comes with a hefty price. Selling stolen items directly is tricky; most merchants will refuse the transaction, and getting caught with them can land you in jail. So, how do you turn your ill-gotten gains into gold?
The simplest method is to stash your loot in a chest. After a week or two of in-game time, the "stolen" tag disappears, allowing you to sell the items to any merchant. When you steal—whether through lockpicking or pickpocketing—the stolen goods are clearly marked in your inventory. This makes them a liability; guards will arrest you if they find them on your person, unless you can bribe your way out of trouble.
Patience is key. Storing items and waiting for the stolen mark to vanish avoids the risks entirely. The time it takes varies, with more valuable items taking longer to become "clean."
For a faster solution, consider investing in the "Hustler" and "Partner in Crime" perks under the Speech skill tree. These perks allow you to sell stolen goods without repercussions, making them a worthwhile investment.
Alternatively, fences are your friends. Early in the game, you can find a fence in the Nomads' Camp, a safe haven for offloading stolen goods.
How long you need to wait depends on the item's value; more expensive items take longer to become sellable.
And there you have it—your guide to selling stolen goods in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* tips, tricks, and guides, check out The Escapist for comprehensive coverage, including a look at all the romance options available.
