Borrowing stuff from Guilds... - by Morrowotcha

Just a quick question to ask, what you can and can't take legitimately from Guilds.
I was recently in the mage guild in (I think) Tel Aruhn and noticed a small ring on the ground next to a chest. Of course I picked it up and all hell broke loose. The inhabitants conjoured up all sorts of ghosts, skeletal warriors, astronachs. I died in seconds.
Question is, what can you legitmately take from a guild ?

What ever is in YOUR guilds supply chest and nothing else... ;)

Btw, Morrowotcha, you sure it was Tel Aruhn? If so, that's why... there are no Mage Guilds there ;) (Sadrith Mora, Caldera, Balmora, Vivec, & Ald'Ruhn are all the locations)

Must have been Sadrith Mora or Caldera then.... I was only passing through in anycase.
Thing is, loads of stuff is left just lying about in these places... it's just so tempting. I mean even if I sneak and nobody sees me lifting stuff, what if I try and flog the goods back to someone inside the guild ? Are they going to report my crime or are they going to unleash their dogs of war again ?
I seem to remember when I joined the guild I was told if I was caught stealing I would have to seek forgiveness from the guild ward. Bit hard to do that if your dead right ?!

In Caldera Mages Guild you can take the soulgems that lie on the shelf (if not expelled). You can also read any book that lies out in the open as long as you do not take it (great for reading a lot of skill books). If you get a stronghold you can take almost anything that isn't nailed down or in a locked chest (one exception is the books that lie in the various 'houses' at Tel Uvirith).
On the PC you can always turn on full help (tfh switches on and off) if you are in doubt whether something is safe to take, this also shows which items you carry that count as stolen (if they have an owner), the item(s) at a daedric shrine that will summon a dremora lord and if a script is associated with a person or item, so only use it if you absolutely need it.
