i have made 1million 20thousand somethingsomethingsomething

but thats on my current char and he's a heavy money grabber/looter

I just checked, and my current longest-lived character has 567,174. And nothing to spend them on-- he not only has all the houses, but has all the magical trinkets and weapons and such that all the vendors sell.

That's part of why he's pretty much retired.....

With only a few exceptions, my characters share my obsessive need to sell every bit of loot they come across. They tend to learn how to cast Ease Burden and how to make feather potions early on. They don't really go out of their way to get loot-- that is, they rarely dungeon-dive just to get stuff to sell-- but whenever they go into a dungeon, they kill everything and take everything and only keep the nicest and most useful pieces and sell the rest, no matter how many trips it takes. Except for mages, who buy a lot of restore health and restore magicka potions (they make a lot of them too, but the instant effect store-bought ones are much more useful in battle), my characters rarely buy anything other than houses and furniture and weapons and pieces of armor (I use a fair number of armor and weapon mods, and most of them are set up to sell the items through vendors for high prices). Very few of them pay for training in anything or for any vanilla weapons or armor or such.

They seem to generally have at least 10,000 to 20,000 septims through much of the game and buy houses and furniture when they can afford them. After the first few levels, they never even really think about money-- they just seem to always have enough.

Same with any other RPG, you start off with barely being able to buy an apple, end end up with hundreds of thousands easily.

First thing I do in Oblivion is enchant 2 rings. I call them Truck Rings and they just give me huge feather bonuses. They pay themselves in out in no time.

Do the questlines then at the end of them your organize "activities" and profit. Take the Arena for example once you finish you can fight wild animals and make money. At about lv18 your take is 3k-5k a match. Downside is that its once a week.

Currently I have around 1mil..

I've always wondered how it is that people don't make money in this game.

Do you fast travel? I figure that has to be one of the reasons, since even at the lowest levels, you should be able to make a couple of hundred septims just off of the loot you take from bandits between one town and the next. At higher levels, that becomes thousands or even tens of thousands.


:D

I didn't get that one at all until your post made me stop and think about it.

LOL.......

I think my current char had 35k.
Highest char had 2.3 mil. (I don't have this char anymore, i did format rescently, frogot to take a save)

2999

I never enchant weapons, so I have all the extra pocket change for not having to deal with soul gems. And I get my armorer to 50, so I can be self-reliant. And I never buy stuff. So yeah, my guys get loaded after a while.

Right now I think I have less than 100 septims

Around 25k, soon going to buy the Cheydinhal House.

11613. ^_^

About 450k. Not making as much money now as I did before though because I finished the main quest and there are no more Oblivion Gates to raid and loot. The armor and weapons in there are valuable.

The last time I took note, my longest-lived character, who has done most of what can be done, has maybe 50000 in gold. She's a pack-rat, though; she has several houses, and they're full of all the stuff that's too nice to sell, which is almost everything she drags home. It's getting so she can't find anything...

Seriously, though... Most of my characters won't even bother picking up heavy unenchanted items, because it's not worthwhile to haul that stuff back to a merchant. In the early levels, they will typically loot light armor, arrows, and light-weight weapons, but they get pickier when the cash flow stops being a problem. The less often you have to drag stuff back to town, the more you can stay out where the action is! bliviongate:

I just finished furnishing my house in Layawin so I don't have much more than a few hundred. I'll eventually get my favorite house in Skingrad again and get poor furnishing that one, too. Surest way to keep the money down is buying and furnishing a house in each town. Which tends to make the manor house in Anvil a bargain - only 4000 gp for a fully furnished house with a place to hide all your stolen loot/special treasures. What's not to love?

I've got about 120k septims on my Assassin right now.

350k at a rough estimate. I'm not in front of my game so I can't give you an exact number because my girlfriend is using my xbox with her friend.

I do wish you could drop Septims as an item, because I could actually use it for some sort of decoration in my houses.

17K

About 20k on my current character, I think. It's hard to keep track when you don't spend very much, aside from recharging weapons occasionally.

Man, some seriously rich ba****rds out there

On my mage char I have about 10000 septims
My warrior char had about 35000 septims (rich bastard)
My poor little archer has about 250 septims

My Imperial Warrior has 300K and lives richly in Skingrad.

My Dunmer Archer only has 239 Septims, but that's okay by him. He lives freely, and he's not going to do all the quests, even the MQ,

If you folks get bored after getting a few hundred thousand easy, you should install the Enhanced Economy mod. Makes you scrounge for money, as things like houses etc. become 2x-5x expensive (user selectable).

I had, after 200+ game hours, somehow managed to get 30K, but then I bought the Frostcrag and Battlehorn upgrades, and we are back to less than 8K...

About 100K. Angel doesn't like seeing things go to waste and feels an obligation to make decent armor and weapons available to decent citizens for their defense. Unfortunately, there seems to be few who actually take advantage of the gesture and they are mostly bandits.

She has never obsessed about money. not even during the time when she had nothing. As a Mage, she knew how to gather various alchemical materials and sell simple potions to cover her expenses.

32,117 septims. He loves grabbing loot and selling it. I shudder to think how much he'll make when he starts leveling up past 1.

About 450,000, no cheats. I buy a lot of stuff too - especially from my store See my sig if you want to get rid of some of those extra septims... I am running Living Economy with CF's prices so everything is valuable. "Money grubbing Sagitarius" living up to her name, I'm afraid Currently level 23... I hardly grab anything anymore!
