so be sure to make the most expensive potions and poisons you can. Hitting the guide button just after you start to wait for 24 hours actually makes the timer click down quicker. Save your game after depleting a merchant's stock or gold (or both), then hit them.

You can use the merchants in every town, but the best place to do this is in the Thieves Guild, with Tonilia… when I went to see her she had 4,000 gold every 48 hours, so it’s much quicker this way (this was after I had finished the Thieves Guild's questline though, so she may have less before then). NOTE: If you do it this way it can be stupidly boring!Īlso, the higher your speech skill, the more you get per item (although it’s not really that noticeable). You can always buy back what you sell at a later time, obviously for a much more bigger cost. However, if like me you don’t, then you generally find that waiting 48 hours (in the store, using the wait button) they will have their allotted amount of money back, so if you’re desperate, do that. Remember, shops don’t have unlimited gold, so try to get rid of stuff as and when you have it. Save it for the high money to weigh ratio. When you first start playing the game, collecting gold seems like a mountain to climb, especially when tomb raiding yields little gold and your low speechcraft skills mean that merchants will rip you off when selling any treasure or loot you have found. Don’t waste your time with stupid stuff like bread, plates, wooden dishes, etc. Yes, money does make the world go round and the same goes for in Skyrim too. Pick up what you can, when you can and then when you get back into the city, sell everything you don’t want and net the cash. Simply put, don’t start that mission until you have this achievement and this will give you a 20,000 shortcut. The Amulet of Mara grants you a 10 boost to your restoration spells, but that’s not the reason why it has earned a spot on my list. However, it also spawns as random loot in chests, and some Skyrim merchants also sell it. In the last Dark Brotherhood main mission, “Hail Sithis!,”you’ll get given 20,000 gold, which you have to invest in another mission. Where To Get: The most traditional way of getting the Amulet of Mara is to buy it from Marmal, who sells it for 200 coins. Killing dragons and selling their scales and bones is a good way to earn some quick bucks.ĭoing missions for the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood will net you plenty of coin.

First things first, the achievement requires you have 100,000 gold on you at any one time I cant confirm it myself, but the Riverwood trader can be invested in (requires a speech perk), and itll raise his gold to somewhere around 10k.
