How do you buy the Riften house??
-
I have tried many things to buy the riften house but I just cant figure out what you are supposed to do. I have done favors for the Jarl and the Steward, and a couple things for people around the town, and I still dont know what to do. Also, I heard you have to talk to one of the argonians about a task involving skooma production, and I have done that as well. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Somewhere in the midst of the steps mr_4o4_error posted, you have to talk to Romlyn Dreth and finish his quest involving smuggling a keg of mead to Ivarstead. You can usually find him by the docks, at the Bee and the Barb, or Black-Briar Meadery. This was the last step I had until I could buy the Riften house and took me FOREVER to figure out. Hopefully that helps :) I also heard you must talk to the Jarl again before upgrading your house to become Thane because of a possible bug. I'm not sure how reliable that information is, but just to be safe, talk to the Jarl again before upgrading your house.

Well you have to get in good graces with the Jarl. What i did was,
1.Talked to Wujeeta and completed the helping hand quest. (Give her a potion).
2. Persuaded her into telling me when she got her skooma
3. Speak to the Jarl and complete the quest chain.
4. Complete 5 Misc.quest for people in Riften
5. After the 5 quests you get a new objective to speak to the Jarl. She says she'll make you Thane if you buy a house which you can do by speaking to the Steward. House is 800 monies if i remember right.

The quest for Wujeeta is the key to it all, but bear in mind that if she's killed intentionally during the quest, then according the elder scrolls wiki, you can forget owning the house or becoming Thane. When I finished it, it hit a point where I thought it was bugged as she just acknowledged the deed, and that was it. Just go do 4 assistance quests for the citizens (Giving a beggar a gold piece, and dropping an item and letting whoever picks it up keep it counts as well), and you will get a journal entry to go see the Jarl. After you buy Honeyside, then make sure that you DO NOT open either door and enter the house until you buy all the upgrades, as on PS3, and possibly Xbox, it renders the weapon racks and displays unusable if you take the default piece off of them, and may work for the mannequins as well, but I hadn't bought that one at that point, and reloaded an auto save from just before I went in and got the upgrades. So far, everything works perfectly fine when I tested it over several times coming in and out.
This is all of course assuming that you have not progressed too far into the Civil War quest line.
