Best way to get gold fast?

[TreePigs]

I started a thief character and i wanted to know if there were any good places to get goods. Books are relatively expensive so i have been spending most of my time in the library in Vivec. Where do you guys get your loot? :huh:

Buy/harvest ingredients and turn them to potions

Buy soul gems and fill them with a summoned creature

 

The Hlaalo manor in Balmora, Nads Tharen's flat in Vivec are good places to loot.

The Morvayn manor in Ald' Ruhn provides a good source as well if you can kill the corprus monsters inside.

 

Some houses get empty after certain quests by the way.

How much gold would you be making.

Your gratefulness touches me.^^

 

There's no limit. The loot is oftenly hard to predict because of the leveled lists and the gold you can get from alchemy and soul gem depends of your skills and equipment.

Clear out bandit caves and sell the Moon Sugar and/or Skooma to Ajira at the Mage's Guild in Balmora. Alternatively, sell all Skooma to the Creeper, Ghorak Manor, in Caldera.

I can easily name a couple of different ways to get a few thousand gold in a hurry, depending on your character's skills (Fighter, Thief, Armorer, Mystic, or Merchant), but those belong in the "Spoilers" forum.

 

The easiest non-spoiler way would be to raid a few bandit caves and sell off the loot. Addamasartus, just outside Seyda Neen, can net you well over a thousand at level 1 (2 bottles of Skooma, 10-14 Moon Sugar, a couple of scrolls, plus all of the weapons and clothing from the bandits). Leveled lists mean that there are often more valuable items amid the usual clutter that you may get at higher levels, but you'll mostly get low-value loot at Level 1. There are often specific hand-placed items in a cave or ruin which are not level-dependent (a few tie into quests, many do not), so they're available at level 1 if you can figure out how to survive your little adventure to get them.

 

As much of a spoiler as Creeper or the Mudcrab Merchant are already, there's an additional twist that I won't explain here in further detail.....but you can get free money. After some point, it's almost a trick NOT to collect far too much money to make sense, to the point where the entire Morrowind economy shouldn't have that much gold.

If you don't mind dealing with the Slaughter fish, there is money to be made diving for pearls. Lots of Scrops just off the shore and most are pretty shallow. If you can hold your breath the grotto's are full of pearls.

There is also the cliff racers to kill then sell the Racer Plumes ingredient to Ajira as the Racer Plumes has a high prize as 20 Septims.
