Does LOOT sort based only on plugin content?.How can LOOT not have unrecognised plugins?.I have a SkyProc patcher that runs BOSS.Is there anything I should bear in mind when switching to LOOT?.

In practice, though, the effort it takes just isn’t worth the paltry reward.

A scavenger hunt across Skyrim is a great way to make players explore locations they otherwise might not consider venturing into, and it gives even high-leveled characters something to strive for. Overall, the Stones of Barenziah seems like a good idea in practice. The Stones of Barenziah Quest Markers mod on the game’s Nexus page has over 1.5 million downloads for Skyrim Special Edition alone, and multiple guides and checklists can be found in Skyrim‘s online community to help find the unmarked Stones of Barenziah for players who don’t want to mod their game. Perhaps that’s why it’s so common for Skyrim players to simply mod their way around the difficulty. So, the answer to “Is the Stones of Barenziah reward worth it?” would be “no.” The reward is only really worthwhile for those who are looking to fully complete Skyrim‘s Thieves Guild collection. On top of that, given how much Skyrim‘s map needs to be explored to find the Stones of Barenziah, most players will be well beyond the point of lacking in gold. Stolen items are objectively easier to find and turn over for a profit than legitimately obtained loot. Many Skyrim players aren’t necessarily worried about profits, especially those who have joined the Thieves Guild, a necessary requirement for appraising the Stones of Barenziah in the first place. Prowler’s Profit might seem like a worthwhile ability for players who are just starting out, but even then, its usefulness is questionable at best.

Other than that, though, there isn’t much incentive to locating all of the Stones of Barenziah, especially given how difficult it is compared to most other and better side quests in Skyrim.

The completed Crown of Barenziah is also displayed alongside other recovered items in the Thieves Guild headquarters. The reward for collecting all the Stones of Barenizah is a unique ability, Prowler’s Profit, which significantly increases the chance of finding multiple gems in places like chests or looted enemies.
