Honeyside

General
Honeyside is a house you must purchase in Riften in order to become the Thane. Honeyside is a useful house for alchemists, hunters, and for characters who use alchemy frequently. Honeyside is one of two purchasable houses in Skyrim - along with Proudspire Manor in Solitude - that has exterior territories (Porch, Dock and Garden).

Acquiring Honeyside
Honeyside can only be acquired on the path to becoming a Thane of Riften. To achieve this, the player must have good reputation with Riften citizens and has proven his worth to the Jarl. Below are the steps to acquiring Honeyside.

Step 1: Proving Worth to the Jarl
This can only be done via Skooma Trade quest which starts by talking to an Argonian lady named Wujeeta in Riften Fishery located at the Docks outside of Riften.

Wujeeta will want a Healing Potion. Once the Potion is given to her, the player will be able to ask about the Skooma dealer and report to the Jarl, Laila Law-Giver. After this, the player will receive 2 other quests revolving around putting a stop to the Skooma trade. If Wujeeta is intentionally killed by the player during this quest, Honeyside and the Thane position will no longer be available.

Upon completion of this quest, the Jarl will offer to Make You Thane. If she does not, the player must acquire more reputation with Riften citizens by completing quests listed in Part 2.

Step 2: Building Reputation with the People
Reputation with Riften citizens can be attained by doing quests for them. Currently, the condition which determines player's ability to buy Honeyside is yet to be determined. However, most players reportedly gain full reputation with Riften citizens after completing at least 4 of the quests listed below.

Players are likely to receive indication that they have completed enough reputation-building quests for the people of Riften when the miscellaneous missions section prompts the player to talk to the Jarl. At that point, the player should select the first speaking prompt with the Jarl, and she will heartily congratulate the player on his/her good deeds and offer the title of Thane, as soon as a house has been purchased within Riften.

Step 3: Purchasing Honeyside
After enough reputation has been acquired, player can talk to the Jarl's Steward, Anuriel, and purchase the house for 8,000. The player can also speak with her again for further upgrades to the property.

Honeyside is located on the North West corner of Riften. The player can access it from outside the city by following the path directly west of the Stable.

Bugs
Current Bugs Workaround: Visit the Jarl to complete the quest before entering Honeyside. Alternately, use console (Tilda, "~", Key by default) to type setstage FreeformRiftenThane 200. Workaround: Go downstairs next to the enchanting table, and equip a piece of armor on them. This will bring them back. Workaround: Quicksave after placing your stuff, exit the house and reenter. The items should mostly be fine. If item scattering/reverting still occurs, try relocating the scattered items. Workaround: buy all upgrades before unlocking the house doors for the first time so all weapons plaques and anyother interactive objects work. might also be applicable to other houses with broken weapon racks and/or other things such as proudspire in solitude. Workaround: Sell the original copy of the duplicated item. Workaround: either reload the Autosave from entering the house and try again or reload the picking up the books one at a time.
 * You will be able to buy Honeyside, but not named Thane. The quest "Return to Jarl" stays unfinished.
 * Occasionally upon entering your house, the Mannequins will spawn at random locations.
 * When customizing your house, like carefully placing potions or jewels on shelves, tables etc. And you leave the house, after re-entering all the stuff you placed is scattered through the room.
 * None of the Weapon Racks, or Wall Mounts work.
 * Certain items when placed on the Mannequins will duplicate each time you reenter the home.
 * Bookshelf near bed eats books then locks you out!
 * Clothing placed in mannequins may become invisible.

Officially Patched Bugs Workaround: either reload the Autosave from entering the house and try again or reload the picking up the books one at a time. (Fixed in Patch 1.3)
 * Bookshelf near bed eats books then locks you out!
 * After installing Patch 1.2 for Xbox and PS3 the Bookshelves in Honeyside can become unusable. If you attempt to retrieve the books from the "Activate Bookshelf" Menu, the books will be retrieved but the graphics are not updated and you cannot access the Menu again, nor move or grab the books there. If you manually grab the books it will clear the space but after the first book is retrieved this way the "Activate Bookshelf" Menu is inaccessible as well. (Fixed in Patch 1.3)
 * You cannot become the thane of Riften once Maven Black-Briar is Jarl. This means if you bought the house after she was made Jarl, no housecarl will be awarded and the room in the basement will remain empty. (Fixed in Patch 1.3)
