Exploit Found: Free training

[WarKirby3333]

looks like i\ve bumped into a glitch. The following facts are relevant

 

1. Most of the companions guild members are skill trainers.

2. There eventually comes a point where you can take them along with you on adventures as followers.

3. you can access a follower's inventory and take anything except their base equipment.

4. When you are trained by an NPC, the gold you pay goes into their inventory.

 

I think these facts together pretty much express the issue without me having to spell it out farther.

I just got Aela to train me 5 points in archery, then just took my gold back.

well yeah that makes sence; I just wish they didn't complain about not having any money after that lol

[PsYchotic666Joker]

or don't abuse it like me...i NEVER pay for training!

do it me self hehehehehe

[babis8142]

yeah I've like never trained; I mean leveling up is fast enough as it is. I might do it if i decide to learn something at high level like 40 or something

I have trained, it's better than grinding and sometimes you just want that perk really bad.... at least you can only train max 5 times per level. :thumbsup:

I train every level since lvl 25. but would never take my gold back, as the only reason for training for me is to have a goldsink.

 

I mean, there's nothing that costs as much gold as those enchanted items you find in lvl 25+ dungeons bring you in.

 

I'll soon have the 100k gold achievement, without even trying. It just piles up, and I buy every alchemic ingredient from every vendor I come across, as well as every biggest soulstone.

 

tl:dr: there's too much gold already, I'm not aiming to become millionaire.

well yes, that's kind of my point too. i'm not pointing this out to relieve the cash-strapped purses of adventurers everywhere. i'm pointing it out because exploits annoy me, and people knowing about them usually gets them fixed faster. i agree it's a bit too easy to make money later on.

Wow, I really never found an interesting weapon in any dungeon.. it's just random crap worth like 90 gold...

It's rare for me to have more than 10k... and im lvl 28.

Where are those dungeons?

There is a perk in lockpicking that increase the amount of gold and the value of items found in chests.

But I dunno if it's really effective or not, never tried it.

What I do:

 

Get trainer, train, pickpocket coins back, walk away, lol.
