DARK BROTHERHOOD DAILY QUESTS



Dark Brotherhood Black Sacrament Daily Quests:

These quests are given by Speaker Terenus located at the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary in the Gold Coast.

Each quest specifies one primary target, giving you an optional way to kill them. Additionally, a secondary target is specified, whom you may kill any way you wish. In order to meet all objectives (to get the highest reward) you must kill the primary objective in the specified way, kill the secondary target, keep from reaching Alert Status 5, and get out of the instance before the timer ends.

In these quests, the more objectives you complete, the bigger your reward.

In these quests, you are a Trespasser. You will be given a bounty the first time you are spotted, and may receive additional bounty amounts. As always, a witnessed murder increases your bounty. Leaving the instance will not wipe your bounty clean; you will still have it.

All assassination targets are marked with a handprint above their heads. The targets' names will vary.

Every quest has a secondary objective of not alerting the denizens of the area. Each time you are spotted the Alert Status raises by one point. If you reach five points, the entire place is alerted to your presence and your job becomes harder.

Every quest has a secondary objective of leaving before the overseer arrives. To do so, you must be out of the area within two minutes of murdering your primary objective. Your timer begins the moment you murder your primary objective. So, if you are looking to reach the maximum reward, kill your primary objective last in the manner specified.

In order to murder the primary objective with poison, simply equip poison in your weapon poison inventory slot as you would to apply it in a combat situation.

One of the following quests may be given:

  • Sacrament: Sewer Tenement

  • Sacrament: Smuggler's Den

  • Sacrament: Trader's Cove

Unidentified Sithis' Touch Equipment boxes from Black Sacrament Daily quests have a chance to give you a Dark Brotherhood Motif.


Dark Brotherhood Contract Daily Quests:

These quests are given by a book called Marked for Death located inside the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary of the Gold Coast.

Unlike other daily quests, you may pick up as many of these a day as you like on a single character. Any quest completed after the first for the day will only reward five Roguish Draughts.

If you do not like the quest you received, you may drop it and try for another one.

There are two types of contracts: Spree contracts and regular assassination contracts. All contracts named Contract: <zone> Spree request that you assassinate three people within a certain place. All of the contracts named Contract: <zone> request that you murder a specific individual within a certain place. Both the name of the individual and the place vary. For these contracts, the named victim will have the symbol of a hand over their heads.
