Honeyside is one of the properties you can purchase in Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It is a small wooden house which is located within the city of Riften. After the purchase, your main character will use the house as a residence, in order to become Thane of the city. You can buy Honeyside after completing some pretty simple missions in Riften.
Steps
Step 1. Reach the city of Riften
It is one of the main centers of Skyrim, which the Blood of the Dragon (the main character) must reach. It is located in the southeastern region of the map; you can go there on foot or on horseback.
Step 2. Enter the city and go to the Riften Fish Market
There you will find an Argonian (reptilian) woman named Wujeeta.
Step 3. Talk to Argonian
She will tell you that she is sick. Give her a few potions and make her tell you who sells the Skooma, using Persuasion, Intimidation or bribing her.
Skooma is considered an illegal drug in the world of Skyrim. The mission concerning the smuggling of this substance is part of the story of the game, starting from the very early stages
Step 4. Talk to the Jarl of Riften
After getting the information from Wujeeta, head to the city fortress and talk to the Jarl (named Laila Law-Giver) about the Skooma incident.
The Jarl will tell you to kill the Skooma drug dealers (starting a new mission)
Step 5. Kill the Skooma drug dealers
The Jarl will give you the key to a warehouse located in the harbor, outside the walls of Riften. Enter the building and take out the drug dealers.
The drug dealers are quite weak and defeating them is easy
Step 6. Return to the Jarl
Talk to him to complete the mission and he will ask you to help other townspeople. Get out of the fortress and look for people who need a hand.
You have to help at least 3-5 citizens in rather simple missions
Step 7. Go back to the Jarl again
He will grant you the title of Thane (local hero) for assisting the people of Riften, but he will tell you that to accept this honor you must be a resident of the city. It will suggest a property that you can buy.
Step 8. Talk to the assistant
You can buy the house from him for 8000 gold.
Step 9. Return to the Jarl
Now that you are a resident, he will give you Thane's nomination and assign you a Housecarl, a non-player character in charge of home security.
