Side mission employers | Trips to the City Thief Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
While completing the game, apart from the ones in the main chapters of the game, you can also take on side missions. In total, there are 31 of them, in the game, but they are not available right from the beginning of the game. To start a side mission, you need to reach the NPC that gives you that mission. The employers for side missions have been described below.
Basso, by default, stays at The Crippled Burrick tavern which is located in the central part of the Stonemarket (the raven icon on the city map), although, after you complete the fourth chapter of the game, you need to meet him at The Siren's Rest tavern, located in the Southern end of the South Quarter. Throughout the entire game, he will task you with a total of 25 side missions (Jobs). The common feature of all these missions is that they are very short and they usually require you to steal some item, from the location marked by the game. As a reward for completing each mission, you receive 50 GP, but you can also loot the places, which you are sent to, for additional income.
Ector is staying at his workshop located in the North-Western part of the Stonemarket, in The Gullet; (the gears icon on the city map. The best moment to meet this character is during the Machinations side mission, which you receive from Basso. Throughout the entire game, you will receive 3 side missions from Ector (Client Jobs). Each one of these missions is much more complex than the missions that you receive from Basso and they assume the exploration of a, relatively, vast area, to find a well-hidden artifact. After you complete each such mission, you get to see the summary screen (similar to the ones displayed after the main chapters), which rewards you with gold and informs of the number of items that you have found.
Vittori is staying at The Siren's Rest tavern, located at the South end of the South Quarter (the hat icon on the city map). The best moment to meet up with this character is during the Carnivalesque side mission that you receive from Basso. Throughout the entire game, Vittori tasks Garret with 3 side missions. Each of these missions is far more complex than the ones that you receive from Basso, and they assume exploring a relatively big location to find a well-hidden artifact. After you complete each such mission, you get to see the summary screen (similar to the ones displayed after the main chapters), which rewards you with gold and informs of the number of items that you have found.
