The Numbers Job are quests given to you by Delvin Mallory in the Ragged Flagon as extra work for the Thieves Guild. The purpose of a numbers job is to change information in business ledgers located in various stores and inns around Skyrim.

NotesEdit

• When you cast the spell Invisibility, you can interact with the Business Ledgers without being seen.
• The Sayma in Bits and Pieces solitude does not sleep she will always be in the counter place or in her chair. its advice to either reload the save for a different mission or to use an invisibility potion.

BugsEdit

•  PC   360   PS3  Sometimes Delvin will give you a mission for a ledger that you cannot access. For instance, if Haelga's Bunkhouse's ledger in Riften is the intended target, you are pointed toward a crate with which you cannot interact with nor can you interact with the ledger in the building. To get around this, either quit the quest and request a new one from Delvin (reloading from a save before you accepted the mission is presumably the safest) or, on the PC, use the console command "setstage tgrfo 50" to complete the objective.
• UPDATE* As of 1.3.10 update this is still occurring randomly with these quests. I got the quest to "modify" the journal at the inn in Windhelm and even though I performed no other quests in the inn, and certainly no one died in the inn, I still failed the quest with Delvin telling me I had killed someone. Recommend performing this quest immediately after getting it and returning to Delvin immediately to turn in to avoid bugs.
• Drunken Huntsman. If you killed Anoriath (Elrindir Brother) in the Dark Brotherhood Side quests before geting this quest, you will fail when you turn it in, Delvin will say you killed someone during it.
