I absolutely love vendors in Oblivion. All of my Oblivion characters: "I know you just bought this exact same item from me 600 times, but would you like to buy it now for MORE gold, for absolutely no reason at all? Yes, of course you would" Vendors: *PAIN*
Ah, yes, the age-old tradition of christening a new home by smacking into the walls at full force. It's like breaking a bottle of champagne on a ship (but for houses).
On my first full play through I also bought all of the houses just to see what they looked like and if they were useful as bases but I just realized how obsolete they are when you can sleep for free in any guild if you’re at least an associate in it PLUS why buy any of this when the FROSTCRAG SPIRE EXISTS Also, for me, the best way to make money in Oblivion is honestly just to level up and make sure you can carry a lot of things. Go to like, level 15 or 20 and just take everyone's armor because they all wear Daedric and Ebony Armor and sell it to the Three Brothers, who will pay you up to 1000 per piece, rather than other merchants who have a max of 600 or 800 *edit* see I didn't even know Nilphas had a max of 2000!
I usually duplicate enchanted items coz they're worth more. I tend to get the Ring of Rumare since you can get it super early, duplicate it and sell the copies for quick cash.
Some advice for people doing the Dorian glitch: He actually has more gold, if you bribe him first. I remember, I used to use the Lover birthsign, just to get 100,000 gold at the start of the game lol. Then again I haven’t done that since the Xbox360 days so take this with a grain of salt.
The fastest and best way to make money is just to loot the same handful of Marauder and Bandit dungeons over and over. Rockmilk Cave is the best one because they mostly kill each other and you can just loot the bodies, but Infested Mine, Cursed Mine, Squandered Mine, and Ft Blueblood have the most bandits or marauders with the best armor and weapons for whatever level you're on. And you get to quickly increase all the skills associated with melee fighting, which you should be doing if you want a powerful character. I spend the first 15 levels mostly collecting loot to sell for training sessions for each level up. Glitches take all the fun out of the game. It's just cheating. I'd rather earn everything through normal gameplay.
Max out speed and acrobatics, create a spell for increase speed on self for 4 seconds. Enchant all your armor with feather, kill deer for venison which give feather as it's second attribute. Go in to every dungeon you see, fight nothing and just loot the chests. Sell everything you pick up rinse and repeat.
I normally grab stuff from hell and sell it to the sithis-obsessed at the inn next to the bridge to the IC, he has 2000$, enough for a daedric warhammer
Dorian method is the best. I got bilions gold from him. I just yielded to him and then bribed him until he had like 50k gold, but until I did that guard came and saw me stealing bilions so I had to serve over 500 years in jail :D
best method is to find a bandit cave with glass armor users loot all and npc all armor and do it again over and over you can put a whole cave of loot on a single corpse and drag it
I actually made a million in oblivion AFTER buying all the DLC mansions. I would just explore caves and sell shit. The only cheat I used was the cheat to make vendors have wayyy more money. So I’d sell daedric artifacts for the 65k or whatever the game priced them at
If you want to dupe stuff to make money just find a nice Enchanted ring that's only like a pound and just duplicate the crap out of it that way that way you can actually hold it without being over encumbered
I still find funny that you get mansions on Chorrol, Skingrad and Anvil, while you get decent houses everywhere else including Bravil, and what did they give you at imperial city, the supposed capital of the place?, a hovel at best. Then you get the DLC (from your GOTY edition I must add) and can flip the imperial city from your literal Ivory Tower or brand new castle.
I always found that weird, really wanted a nice big house in the IC, there's one possible house you can "own" - there's a khajiit living in it and once you kill him the house is fully available to you, granted it's not exactly "owned" by you, bur you can still freely take the stuff from it and use it.
@@ThatsCoolDude I played oblivion all through my high school years, and i didnt knoe you can buy a effin castle. How do you get to that point?? Because im playing oblivion now and i want one🙃🙃
@@apx_frost8941 it's less buying it and more so you protect it and it's yours (also all digital versions are now the GOTY) I'm assuming they are playing on the non goty as it spams you with dlc messages upon entering the sewers
My variation of method 5 is bandit camps. Find enough on them on the map then fast travel between, then stop off to sell everything when inventory gets too full. Since it's camps outside, if you hit your inventory limit, it's easy enough to just drop stuff and then pick it up again next round. And if you get enough in the loop they respawn by the time you get back around to them. (and really, if yer gonna console it up, you can just spawn the gold, go the pure laze way!) Also, you forgot one of the DLC houses. Deepscorn hollow or something like that? The one with the entrance under the water for some idiot reason with the Sithis shrine in the basement that comes with its own cult.
I used the Dorian method on console and I can’t tell you how numb my fingers got from pressing the A button so many times. Was worth it in the long run though.
The times I've used Dorian, I sit the controller down on my lap and spam press with my two index fingers. If you get into a rhythm, you don't notice how much spamming you're doing until you've already amassed a fortune.
The Carahil that took out Lorgren Benirus the first time was the current Carahil`s Father hence the "justified in his actions" also if you talk to her about it after you lifted the curse she has a little something to say about it I thought it was pretty interesting
Probably because the dialogue writers and character designers don't communicate. The VA for Lucien said that he didn't even know what his character would look like until after he himself played the game.
I have to be careful...every time I watch someone play Oblivion it draws me back like I am a recovering Skooma addict... Must resist. Will have no life for several years...
I usually boost mercantile every level as well as doing the Hackdirt quest (save these for later). By the time you're level 20 I invest into the best vendors and just sell Daedric items for big coin. Doesn't work well for speed though. You could also fortify mercantile skill and you get the invest perk temporarily. If you wanted to cheat. You could use the dupe glitch on the vampire ashes. With Dorian. You want to bribe him first. And when you come back to paralyze him again you bribe him some more etc.
Own a home? But why? If you complete the Mage’s Guild questline you get the Arch-Mage’s Quarters. That’s like living in a skyscraper in Manhattan, but on Oblivion instead.
Rockmilk Cave is my favorite non-glitch way to make a lot of money. Between the black bows and all of the loot you can get from the marauders and bandits, you can make a ton of gold and also up your combat skills. I like going to the Anvil blacksmith too because he has high gold and low mercantile.
I remember back in the day that you could talk to the count of Skingrad over and over after finishing his quest to get the gold reward, but it ended up getting patched like a week after it was discovered.
Nice vid. I got a bug were the duke of skingrad gave me 2500(?) every time I talked to him after I kill/cured his wife from vampirismo. Problem was that it came in with another bug that stoped gates from opening in ayleid ruins...
Theres actually a great mod that lets you take over where Lorgran left off in becoming a Lich, it gives you spells and recipes to make undead servants and other creatures, and of course the path to Lichdom.
@@sir_justinius Reminds me a lot of the Undeath mod for Skyrim. Actual necromancy and consequences for practicing it is something the Elder Scrolls games are sorely lacking.
Early game: Join the Thieves Guild, and break into EVERY house. It'll give you a free chancer to explore all the cool hidden secrets in people's homes. Mid game: Do the guilds. You'll get more than enough to get decent houses, and ad that onto the money you made robbing everyone you'll be good. Late game: Bandits. Kill them, sell their fancy stuff, and make money.
As someone who has done and owned everything in Oblivion... Your methods are all sh!t. Just use alchemy to make potions. In every single TES game it completely breaks the economy. Also sell all scrolls you find except the lockpicks if you don't have a respective build for lockpicking. It really isn't hard to gather that amount of money without selling ANYTHING except potions and scrolls.
For betting on arena matches, the higher your luck is, the greater your chances of winning the bets. 50 luck gives essentially a 50/50 chance to win or lose. Using a fortify luck spell during a match to bring your luck to 100 gives you a guarantee to win the bet.
Alright I'm okay with a lot of things in this video (as a commenter and god of your channel) however did you really need to use it. Come on. You're better than this. Using the skooma that the cats force upon us good nord folk.
I haven't played in years, and have forgotten a lot. I used to know how to place items... Not drop. Such as placing a potion on a shelf in my house. I've forgotten how. Can anyone help me?
Yo if you have the shivering isles dlc and complete it you can do the oblivion version of Preston Garvey quests by talking to haskiiL( after becoming the mad god )
break into houses steal only fruit and veges and turn into magic potions then go back into houses and sell the magic potions for 50 gold ea then you make oodles of gold
Great quality and fun video. I came to a hard pause and had to rewatch/relisten around 7:40 when I heard Eh-bone-ee. Pronounced Eb-en-ee(Eb-on-y). Hehe, Boney armor and weapons.
It hits different when you get your spoils from adventure and trade I have 346k (and over 120k in gold liquid) valuables in different homes that's wealth.
