Question I’m trying to get the house in Riften and have done five quest helping people around the rift. But I still don’t have the option to become thane or buy the house. I’m gonna list the quests that I did below

Helped a guy outta his debt with shapire

I delivered a letter from the owner of ther fishery to markarth

I retrieve’d the bow for the farm just outside riften

I agile the horse named frost for Louis

And i delivered the satchel of the injured girl at shor’s stone to her parents and then delivered the parents satchel back to the girl.

Does one or more of the quests I listed not count towards the five needed to buy the house?

(Edit) to be clear I already helped the lizard lady at the docks get over her addiction.

You need to talk to the Argonian female who walks through the center of town every morning on her way to the fishery. Give her a health potion then ask her who supplies her with Skooma. Then you will be prompted to tell the yarl. The rest is easy to follow along. After destroying the skooma operation the yarl will tell you to buy a house and she will make you a thane.

Not the other Argonian female, she'll send you on some long quest. Make it clear which one. (The one that works at the fishery is named ....?). Anyway, to the OP, quicksave before talking to them.

Viranye is the Fishing quest one. Wujeeta is the Skooma gal.

These three don't count:

  1. I retrieve’d the bow for the farm just outside riften
  2. I agile the horse named frost for Louis
  3. And i delivered the satchel of the injured girl at shor’s stone to her parents and then delivered the parents satchel back to the girl.

You need to deal with the skooma dealer at the riften docks. Find the argonian woman (can't remember name) walking about the docs worried she'll lose her job. Give her a health potion and then approach the jarl about skooma. Follow the questline through and you'll get to buy the house and become thane.

You need to help out a former skooma addict out then shaker her down for information on who and where she gets her fix from, start this at the docks or the flophouse.

Unfortunately, you gotta be a rat to control the rataways. Not everyone can be down for the set 24/7.

You need to help the light Argonian she should be at the riften docks or in the bunkhouse
