Time to start hopping....like, a lot.

Steal a platter, drop it, and apologize to the guard. Then pick up the free platter from the floor

OR

Go to the side of The Randy Netch, enter sneak mode. Go make dinner, switch the TV input to cable. Watch an episode of the Apprentice while eating dinner. Return to game. Sneak is now 62. Go steal a glass sword and armor

I only hop one time

Or 3 time
