I Done Got Thaned!

The Dragonborn can gain the title of Thane of the Rift.

Objectives

 * Befriend the Jarl of the Rift.
 * Assist five citizens of the Rift.
 * Stop the Skooma trade.
 * purchase Honeyside.
 * Return to the Jarl.

Walkthrough
Speak to the Argonian named Wujeeta in the fishery on the docks outside the city. Give her the Potion of Healing that she asks for, then ask her about her skooma dealer. Speak to the Jarl to begin the quest "The Raid".

Unlike every other Thane quest, at least 3 other quests to help citizens of the Rift must be completed before the Jarl will offer the title. When enough citizens have been helped, a new miscellaneous quest will appear named, "Speak to the Jarl of Riften.. Before the title can be accepted, Honeyside must be purchased (normally 8,000, it can be purchased with only 5,000).

There are several easy ways to assist the people of the Rift:

Bugs
The quest should progress normally from there.
 * After completing the Skooma Trade quest in Riften for the Jarl, a miscellaneous quest indicates to return and speak to her. When done, the next step is to buy Honeyside from her steward. If Honeyside is visited immediately after purchasing it, and then the Dragonborn tries speaking with the Jarl, the quest to return to the Jarl of Riften remains in the quest log and the dialogue to become a Thane never triggers.
 * Using the console command "Player.setstage FreeformRiftenThane 200" may solve the problem.
 * After waiting for a while and returning to her, the option to become a Thane appears.
 * An enchanted iron weapon may be received instead of the Blade of the Rift.
 * If the Civil War is completed by siding with the Imperials, the Dragonborn will be granted the ability to receive the house immediately, but will be unable to become a Thane and reap the benefits, as the topic of becoming a Thane never appears.
 * Exception: It will appear if the Dragonborn's relationship status with Maven is high enough. However, this requires not only completing the thieves guild quest line and interacting positively with her. The Dragonborn will also have to complete the Quill of Gemination quest.
 * If the above fails, PC users can use the console and enter:
 * If the Dragonborn obtains any of the quests listed above for Riften and doesn't complete one of them (i.e. it's still listed on the journal), but completes 3 alternative quests, the option to purchase a house will not appear.
 * A solution is to complete the outstanding quest(s).
 * Return to the Jarl of Riften or Speak to the Jarl of Riften may be unable to be completed after purchasing and upgrading Honeyside. Jarl will have no option to name the Dragonborn a Thane. The only apparent way to avoid this is to speak to the Jarl after purchasing Honeyside but before visiting it.
