Walkthrough
When you got to speak to V'kebbe, you will go into a cutscene followed by an instance. When you go into the instance, there will be four different groups of enemies. You will start off alone. You will see a Security Mammet and two Sellswords. Attack the Security Mammet first and then deal with the two Sellswords one at a time. As you fight, you may want to do a run and hit technique. Using throwing daggers as you run back and forth is a good idea. Occasionally, you may have to use a healing potion. After this, continue to the next group which has the same enemies and do the same as last time. When you are done, go right and continue on this path to meet up with Captain Jacke, who is fighting a Sellsword Captain and a Security Mammet. Take out the Mammet and then focus on the captain. With Captain Jacke at your side, continue to the last group using the same methods as the first two fights. Do NOT sneak pass all the enemies to meet up with Captain Jacke and go straight to the last group of enemies. Doing so will cause every enemy to target you.

Journal
- Jacke wishes to discuss the plan for recovering the remaining treasures.
- Jacke explains that the remaining treasures are in the possession of the Reformists─an extreme faction of the dreaded Bloody Executioners. The guildmaster then sends you to speak with the ever-moving black marketeer to learn more about these dangerous marks and their plans. Make your way to the House of Sticks in lower La Noscea, and defend yourself against the underworld broker's kobold bodyguards should they seek to impede your approach.
- You have defeated the kobold doormen. Speak with the black marketeer at the House of Sticks and pay him with the sack of coin you received from Jacke.
- Pleased with the weight of your proffered purse, the black marketeer proceeds to outline the Reformists' plan to sell the Silver Sorrows. Return to Jacke at the Rogues' Guild, and report both the details of the deal and the unexpected presence of Milala's lackey at the House of Sticks.
- After making your report to Jacke, the guildmaster prepares to set out for eastern La Noscea with all haste. He is momentarily stunned, however, when the Stray nominates herself for the job and suddenly strides out of the guild alone. Follow Jacke's orders, and track down V'kebbe at Costa del Sol.
- You catch up with the Stray and learn the reason behind her unusual behavior. Speak with V'kebbe at Costa del Sol once more, then make your attempt on the Silver Sorrows.
- Jacke joins you at the site of the deal, and shares his plan for stealing the earrings. After defeating the guards and threatening the Ul'dahn merchant, however, your prize is snatched away at the last moment by a well-prepared Captain Milala. Commiserate with Jacke at Costa del Sol.
- As Jacke laments his failure, he is approached by the Yellowjacket captain, who further taunts the guildmaster with the details of her victory. After a heated exchange, it is clear that neither rogue nor soldier intend to forfeit the challenge. Return to the Rogues' Guild and speak with Jacke.
- Putting the loss of the Silver Sorrows behind him, Jacke focuses his gaze on the last remaining treasure─the Black Sarcophagus. He warns that the Reformists are not likely to part with the mysterious object without a significant struggle. Hone your bladework to perfection, and prepare for what promises to be your most challenging job yet... ※The next rogue quest will be available from Jacke upon reaching level 30.
