How did you get money on Morrowind.

[Malchik]

Didn't think there were any who could buy a daedric weapon in one go.

 

There is a way but it is too long winded for me. E/g. you sell the mudcrab four ebony shortswords at 10000 each over four days. On day 5 you bring your 50000 item and sell it, buying back the four ebony shortswords. You can then sell them again thus earning 10000 per day from the mudcrab for 9 days.

 

I can't be bothered to do this.

 

Another thing you can do, although you don't get full value for items. Visit Galbedir and buy something, then get an enchantment made (you have to have enough cash) after she takes your money for the enchanting her available resources are increased by what you paid for the enchantment (but only if you bought something first). You can now sell her expensive weapons and armour to get back what you spent on the enchantment and start all over again.

getting money very fast is easypeasy.. you start the game, run around a bit to get some money for the Silt strider... then you go to ghost gate (i think it was called that, it's been a while for me. There is a merchant who has an entire suite of class armor and stuff... steal it, sell it, you've got money

 

I have about 26 million in morrowind with my main char! Damn boooooring! Well, in the beginning i stole stuff and sold it. The classic thing to do is stealing the 60000 gold soulgem in balmora mageguild... easy money :P

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

yeah i did that too. Take the quest from the catlike creature (as i said, it had been a long time) in the "Basement" of the mage guild. then the biatch upstairs will leave and you can get all her soulgems... BUT this is what i'm wondering... where did you sell it? there is no merchant who has enough money to buy the gems from you, especially the 60000 mark gem

 

EDIT: Merged your posts Brightash. ;)

 

Edit: thanks :)

anyway, i just came up with something else if you desperatly want money. In the east of morrowind there is a group of islands. there is a tower somewhere with this ugly darkelf guy in it (he is da bomb coz he is going to help you in the main quest), the guy with the morq where al these dead creatures are walking that you may not attack... I forgot his name. Anyway, in that building there are some valuable soulgems including a grand soulgem. fetch that, and you're rich

 

allthough it is a shame to sell a grand soulgem, because it is the only way to create a permanent item. So I don't advise you to sell the grand soulgems. just keep them untill you can defeat the baddest creatures (of which i forgot all the names) and soultrap them in it.

 

Edit 2; I remember one :D Golden Saint (correct me if i'm wrong)

when you 1st start playing level up outside balmora to about level 6 or so, go to the east tower in balmora with lots of potions and kill the gard upstairs. look on top of the cabinet and take the sword. drop everything and pay the fine. go get the stuff and if you have the tribunal expansion a man should attack you when you sleep. go to ebonheart and then go to mournhold. there is a museum there that will buy every rare weapons, armor, sheilds etc. that you have for a lot of money. 30000 at the most at one time and then go back and find someone who will train you in whatever skills you have that level you up. i got my character from level 27 to 76 in about an hour this way. do this until you mast everything.... if you want all your stuff back there is a glitch that when you jump to the ceiling and look down you can take everything back without anyone realizing it.

i started out selling scrolls from Arille in seyda neen to creeper in caldera...but it took me a long time to acquire the million gold i have now...but it was worth it!

[VaanicOne]

Yeah...all this talk about getting money fast reminds me that in the future, items, *even* placed ones, should be randomised. Increases the game experience that way.

 

In Morrowind, I never really go out of my money to make hordes of money, sometimes I even make it difficult for myself by ignoring piles of Ebony and such.

[Zadestar]

Go beat the crackers out of the dark brotherhood, and sell that armor to scampy, 35 sets of that,(easy to get), sells for over 100k

[M'Aqui]

M'Aqui has a suggestion for those with "too much money". M'Aqui suggests that you live off the land, much in the way M'Aqui does. Do not steal, or buy, or sell anything. This way is much better, in M'Aqui's humble opinion, than murdering everyone for their soul gems...

[Cardboard Box]

Scent-of-Victory does not have a great money surplus; quite the opposite. One has confiscated a sizable haul of skooma from Fort Frostmoth, and made the acquaintance of the one known as Creeper, but that is as far as "exploits" go. One prefers instead to honorably sell one's salvage to merchants one meets along the way.

 

One also has made note that Dark Brotherhood equipment and riekling arms and shields are significantly prized. However, given a choice between the two groups, one's experience suggests that should a large cash injection be needed, a visit to Mournhold is not so much in order as far more preferable.

 

Scent-of-Victory has opinions on the pairing of reikling versus Bark Brother, but was taught by one's stepfather not to gamble on sporting events.

[Dilvish]

Often very wealthy at high levels, Dilvish's characters are. Daedric ruins they find... Yes... The grand souls of those inside, tightly trapped they are. Much weighty loot then is taken. Refuse to purchase these things for gold, Creeper can not.

 

Why wish you to become rich? Great wealth makes not one great, no.

Yoda perhaps, this one's next character's name should be. Hmmm?

[Chaosmaker]

How I made money. I did the whole fargoth thing with out giving the money to that legion guy. Then I went to Balmora and sold everything that was in the crates outside. That usually supports me enough untill I can get on my feet and earn some money :D
