Gold is essential in Cyrodiil for purchasing equipment, training, and housing. Several effective strategies can help you amass a fortune. Early on, looting every enemy and dungeon you clear is crucial. Sell unwanted weapons and armor to merchants. Joining the Thieves Guild provides access to fences who buy stolen goods, which can be a sificant source of income. Completing quests, especially faction questlines, often rewards substantial amounts of gold.
Alchemy is one of the most lucrative skills. By collecting ingredients and crafting potions with multiple effects (e.g., Restore Health + Feather), you can create highly valuable items to sell. Focus on ingredients that are common and combine well. Another method is to clear dungeons and collect valuable enchanted items or Daedric artifacts, which fetch high prices. Investing in merchants (by increasing your Speechcraft or completing specific quests) can also improve their buying prices and available gold, making selling more profitable. check every container and corpse!
