The Ragged Flagon

The Ragged Flagon is a tavern located in The Ratways underneath the city of Riften. Currently serving as a headquarters for the Thieves Guild, you can receive guild quests from Vex and Delvin Mallory, and both purchase thief supplies and fence stolen items with Tonilia.

For every special job the player completes for Delvin Mallory a merchant opens his business next to the Ragged Flagon. There are four in total: an alchemist, an armorer, a bowyer and a blacksmith.

An entrance to The Ragged Flagon - Cistern is located in the tunnel behind the bar. After the Thief Guild Questline a Shrine of Nocturnal can be found there.

Notable Loot

 * Advances in Lock Picking in The Ragged Flagon - Cistern in the room to the north-east on top of a barrel.
 * Occasionally, members of the Thieves Guild will practice archery skills around the main room of the Cistern, supplying any wary or needing player with some arrows. They can be found in shields of the training posts that the Thieves use, and are obviously quite useful for any archer low on arrows at the time.
 * Upon joining the Thieves Guild and entering the Cistern, some various potions of Invisibility may be present in the guild members' trunks, which are placed in front of their beds.
 * A crate upon entering the first storage area a crate will be leaning against the wall, take a bucket and run but do not sprint while holding the bucket towards the crate and jump to get on the crate and continue running and you will go through the wall into a square space of water with 5 chests containing various items from gold and weapons (depending on level) to gold and potions/food. These chests can be looted. Four will say Stolen. The one with food will say Search. The only one you can be caught stealing from is called Guild Fence Chest unless invisible (unconfrimed). It can help to run, not sprint, from the bottom right corner to the top left corner and jumping at the peak of the crate to get you into the area.
