"Look, this mold is irreplaceable. I'll pay you well for its return and I can also prove to be quite a valuable ally to the Thieves guild."

―Endon

Endon's Silver Mold (or Curious Silver Mold if it was retrieved before the quest) is a quest item for the Thieves' Guild quest Silver Lining. Endon requests that the Dragonborn retrieve the mold for him as it was robbed from a Khajiit Caravan by Rigel Strong-Arm and her group of bandits on its way to Markarth. Since it is a quest item, it can not be dropped or stored in a container .

LocationEdit

It is found in the treasure room at the end of Pinewatch Bandit's Sanctuary, surrounded by various gems, ingots, ore, gold, a coin purse and two Silver Candlesticks. The quest does not need to be active for the item to appear; it can be obtained any time before the quest.  Even if you have taken it before starting the quest, there will not be any problems with the quest, unlike some other quests, like The Pursuit, instead, the quest will be, when started, one of the easiest in the game to complete, as you can just hand over the item right when one starts the quest.
