Quest rewards and loot

Quest rewards can include scripted gold or items, an added fitted gear choice, faction standing and online account rewards. The quest’s objectives and outcome determine which apply. Ordinary enemy and chest loot is separate from completion rewards.

Reward types

Gold and outcome choices

A quest may pay no gold even when it succeeds. An outcome multiplier cannot create a purse where the script gives none. A letter is quest mail, not a successful reward payment. The journal can keep a gear reward pending until the quest’s completion is registered.

The multiplier applies to the quest’s rolled purse. Unspecified gold rewards depend on character level or guild rank, regional prices and faction power; Fighters Guild rank can add a further bonus. A script can instead specify its own fixed range. The amount offered in your journal is more useful than a universal gold estimate.

Gear rarity

Gear choices contain a weapon, armour and jewellery fitted to your class. The weapon follows one of your two strongest weapon skills. You keep one piece, not all three. The choice is saved: reloading does not reroll the same offer.

These added quest pieces do not roll Legendary rarity. An artifact awarded by a quest is a separate scripted item and is not limited by this gear table.

The tier is set when a quest starts. A questline step can specify its own tier. For a guild quest, the offer row determines the tier; a high-level character meeting a low-rank offer does not turn that row into a high-tier quest.

Artifact routes worth comparing

Individual Daedric quests list their own artifact and betrayal routes. Their named artifact is distinct from random Legendary equipment (Legendary and Gilded items rules). Read Questline rewards for online titles and the Weir Key.

Named reward references

These names identify fitted quest rewards, not fixed-stat equipment. Select the named card from the reward offer if your class can equip its base.
