Shady Sam is a Breton merchant who sells stealth-oriented wares.
Background[]
- "Psst! Hey you! Yeah, you! Come here! I got what you need..."
- ―Shady Sam[src]
He is a good source of purchasable lockpicks before the fences become available in the Thieves Guild. He has 30 lockpicks to sell at a time; if all of them are purchased, they will reappear the next day. He also sells various poisons and potions, and also is one of two traders to sell Skooma, the other being Nordinor. Despite his shady nature, he will not buy stolen goods. He is available at all times of the day, every day. The persuasion game cannot be played with him however; his Mercantile skill is only 51. He has 400 gold available to barter with, although his store can be invested in. He carries a leveled shortsword.
Location[]
Shady Sam is outside the Imperial City walls, roughly near the Elven Gardens District map icon. To find him move clockwise along the wall, starting at the Chestnut Handy Stables and going northeast. At the sight of any law enforcement, he will flee.
