I have a chest full of loot that I have yet to sell, mainly because I want to get as much gold as possible. So my question is can I get the same gold for the loot no matter who I sell it to? I understand that some merchants won’t buy certain items, but if two are willing will they give me the same price?
Been too lazy to check this out myself

I really need to find a better one handed weapon as I am now level 20 this mace inst cutting it.
Any Ideas?
I have made good strides in finding better armor though.

I’m kind of late, but try this:
1- Get smithing to level 90 (Whiterun’s Warmaiden sells iron igots + leather straps = iron daggers until you run out of materials, wait 48 hours, stores restock, repeat). You can also level up enchanting while you’re at it (Run to the mage in Dragons Reach with all your iron daggers, buy all his filled soul gems and enchant the daggers with either Banish/Paralyse/Absorb (health, magicka, stamina). Then, you can proceed to sell the daggers for a profit and repeat. It’s not as tedious as it seems and you’ll level up in no time.
2- Get a deadra heart and craft a Deadric sword/war axe. I prefer the sword as it’s faster and gets critical bonus from the One handed skill tree. EDIT: If you don’t have a deadra heart, do the ‘‘Visit Azura shrine’’ quest. You should get 3 or 4.
3- That new weapon should already be stronger + faster than your mace.
4- Enchant weapon + gear. Level up enchanting (100 is best), pick 5x stronger enchantments and work your way up to Added Effect. You can now add 2 effects on the same item while enchanting. It has to be done at the same time though, you can’t come back later and add a second effect to an enchanted item. If you are 1 handed + mage like me: Disenchant at the enchanting table one of each item: Extra one hand damage, extra magicka, extra health, destruction magic cost reduction.
Enchanting time: Drink a potion of enchanting if you have one, or wear gear with +% to enchanting. If you don’t, it’s not really important, you’ll be so overpowered anyway.
Circlet: One handed damage + fortify destruction (about 25% reduction to destruction, + 45% damage output for one hand weapons).
Ring: Repeat.
Amulet: Repeat.
Gloves: I chose one handed damage and increase magicka (I think).
Boots: Increased magicka + resist (I think).
Weapon: Absorb health (20 points per hit) + frost damage. You can recharge the weapon using a filled soul gem.
Armor: I use Arch Mage robe (-% to cast all spells, +magicka, +100% magicka regen).
That gets you a character who will hit 200+ with a deadric sword (I think I’m at 230) and who can dual cast master spells like they’re nothing. Make sure you get the perk that staggers enemy when you dual cast, they won’t even get near you.
Hope this helps! Cheers!

If your speech is high, you sell for more. If the merchant likes you, you sell for more. There is a perk in the Speech skill tree that increases selling price and lowers buying price.
In that same tree, pick the perk that lets you sell anything to anyone. I don’t remember the exact name but it’s worth it.
Also: glitch to max speech: You need a speech of at least 26 for this to work (trainers work well at low levels). Travel to Riften, head to the Bee and the Bard, speak to the guy behind the counter and ask him about Maven Black-Brier. You’ll get a persuade option, click it, succeed, repeat. You’ll be able to do this as long as you want, getting a few levels and maxing speech.
Hope this helps!

I have an enchanted Northern Bow.
Does not do much on its own, BUT, it does fire damage, I can poison it with weakness against fire, plus I have an 80% bonus damage because I could shoot the hairs of a flies butt and of course my Bow stealth damage is tripled.
That amounts to like (54+15)x1,8 x 3 = around 370. If my math is right, which it probably is not.
The average Draug does not even get out of his grave though and is dead already.
Which is good, because I better not get hit by anything more menacing than a giant rat.
I turn all my companions into giant tanks , their job is not to deal damage but to absorb it until I get around dealing with their opponents.

Took it off one of these pseudo zombies.
They have their average bows and the really good ones.
Upgrading to a glass bow now though.

Fantastic Post.
A couple suggestions:
Part A:
Do the Azura’s Star Quest. At the end take the option where you return to the elf, not the shrine. This will grant you The Black Star as opposed to Azura’s Star. You will have an unlimited use black soul(can trap people) gem. The dialogue states that it will only hold black(human) souls as opposed to white(animal)souls, but it hold any of them.
Part B:
Aquire the ability to do a “soul trap” enchantment. This means disenchanting a soul trap weapon. If you have that Mace you can break that down, if not buy something with soul trap. It doesn’t matter how much the weapon costs. Pay it. You are about to have a license to print money.
Buy an additional filled soul gem of a decent size if you don’t already have one.
Now enchant your best bow with the 1 second soul trap (gets more uses and with a bow you are either killing immediately or you bought yourself a fight where you have to switch weapons.) This gives you great incentive to get Sneak and Archery to a decent level and makes the 3X bonus damage from a bow great for any character.
Part A + Part B = You have a bow that will soul trap anything you kill with it and a soul gem that is re-useable and can trap anything. If you use the bow to kill something to small, just recharge the damn bow with it.
Now, you can fast travel to the sight of a bandit camp, sneak kill a bandit, get a “black” soul, and enchant at high power. If your archery is not levelled enough to one shot bandits add a decent poison to the mix. Again, go ahead and use store bought if you have to. Don’t feel bad running away after one kill. You are harvesting the souls like cattle.
Slap a black soul level enchantment on anything before selling it.
Buy the world.
Regards,
Robert A

Good post!
To add to the thread, here’s a few tips that I wish I knew earlier:
- You can zoom out of 3rd person view. From 1st person view, click both L3+R3 and pull them back.
- If you’re overemcumbered, you can still fast travel on a horse.
- If you have a follower, you have a mule with unlimited storage. Drop the stuff you want your companion to carry and make him/her pick it up using ‘‘I need you to do something.’’ (Point item with crosshair, press pick up button). They are sworn to carry your burdens and so they shall.
- If you want to get married: travel to Riften, go to the temple of Mara and talk to the people there. A man will give you an Amulet of Mara. Equip it and you will get a special dialogue option if an NPC is interested in you. Almost married a male blacksmith by accident. Marriage benefits: a bronze trophy, the spouse lives in the house of your choice (or you can live with them), and they’re supposed to open a shop and give you half the profits. They also become a merchant living in your own house, can still train different skills and follow you around if you need them to.
- For stealth player: you can max stealth easily when you get to a certain point in the storyline. LIGHT SPOILER ALERT: After the elders in High Hrothgar teach you the shout to clear the whirlwind in the courtyard, you follow the mountain all the way to the top to meet their leader. Once you’re done talking, get behind the leader, press the sneak button, wait for the reticule to close and attack once. Wait for the reticule to close again(should take about 5 seconds), repeat. The leader will never react if you keep hitting at that pace. Also, being a storyline character, he can’t die!
That’s all I got for now!
