📋 About This Mod
Prowler's Profit: Immersive Clues to the Stones of Barenziah v 1. 0
This mod adds a number of handwritten notes into the game which give clues about how to find each of the Stones of Barenziah. The idea for this was suggested by Jaberkaty on the official forums who wanted a more immersive method of searching for each stone and one that unfolds as you progress along the Thieves Guild quest path.
It's a reasonable gold sink as well, for the many players (myself included) who grumble about the abundance of gold in the game. I've edited only vanilla assets. Only one stone was moved (refer to the readme for details). You shouldn't need to start a new game to use this mod but obviously if you've already finished the No Stone Unturned quest, there's no point installing this mod until your next playthrough.
It's possible for some of the holders of the notes to be killed and therefore those notes could be lost in your game. If that happens and you don't know where a few of the stones are, you could download a mod which adds questmarkers to the game for the No Stone Unturned quest and turn on the markers. Here's one: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/9385/?
Prowler's Profit - Non quest compatibility V1. 1 (NOTE UPDATE)
I have uploaded an additional .esp that is compatible with Non quest locations for Stones of Barenziah by Globox68 which changes the locations of the quest-locked stones.
It won't be compatible with any quest markers mod, however as some stones have been moved. There is a separate readme for this mod in the mod archive - ie it's not the one showing under the nexus readme tab above.
Both .esps have been cleaned with TESVEdit.
Prowler's Profit adds collectible notes to Skyrim that reveal the locations of the Stones of Barenziah, turning a tedious fetch quest into an immersive treasure hunt. Ideal for players who want lore-friendly guidance without breaking immersion. With 308 endorsements and last updated in 2014, it's a stable classic for the original game.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solves the biggest pain point of the Stones of Barenziah quest—finding all 24 stones without a wiki.
- Immersive approach: notes feel like part of the world, not a cheat menu.
- Community-approved with 308 endorsements and 3,773 downloads, showing it works for many players.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2014—may not be compatible with Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition without tweaks.
- Adds items to the world, so you still have to find the notes themselves, which might not be obvious.
For Skyrim players who want to complete the Stones of Barenziah quest without breaking immersion or resorting to external guides. Also great for completionists who enjoy a lore-friendly scavenger hunt. Skip if you prefer a simple quest marker or a direct map marker mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're playing Skyrim Special Edition, check if the mod has an SE version or use a mod manager to convert it.
- Read the notes as you find them—they might give hints about nearby stones, so keep them in your inventory.
- Pair this with a mod that adds quest markers for the stones if you get stuck, but try to rely on the notes first for the full experience.
