Oh, so just dungeon diving? Well, I guess it's cool, but to me, it would just turn the game into a grind. :shrug:

I used to get millions using the Dorian glitch.
And on my oldest, when Dorian wasn't enough. Enter the scroll glitch. I became a jeweler. I would buy a single ring or whatever, make like a hundred of them, and sell em. I know that's cheating, but it feels like a legitimate business. I found it incredibly funny when I did it in the middle of Imperial City Market District, and the beggars would just walk all over the '200G a pop' rings I had just dropped on the floor.

My character's total (8.7 million now) is without any cheating at all. Rather, persistence has paid off: I just hit the 600 hour mark on that character, and fully half of that time has been at level 51 (i.e. all of the best equipment is available for looting and selling!)

like 75K even though I did not really try to get a lot.

It feels like in real life, if you have money you don′t think about them and all of a sudden you have even more!

Or is that just me...

Before I deleted my Dark Elf I had 1.7 Million septims.

What I said made no sense in hindsight.

Thanks to all for letting us know how rich you are

On topic, the thing I use my money for is enchantments and spells. Therefore my need for them, otherwise I wouldn′t need septims at all.

Care to share what you spend your money on primarily?

Buffy has a small house in Bravil, a magnificent bow with Azura's Star to keep it topped up, loads of wonderful outfits and shoes and a beautifully precious black mare. In short everything a girl could want.

Unfortunately for her, Bravil has quite high property taxes. We use that to siphon off (command console) anything she gets above 10k. She loves to buy gifts for her friends and despite her impressive wardrobe is a voracious shopper, so it all works to provide her a continuing incentive to pick up gold coins, scrolls, enchanted jewelry and other light weight valuables to sell. Poor thing has only base strength, so she has never picked up armor or weapons to sell.

Property taxes via the console? Great idea and reason for adventuring, loot is needed to fund your living expenses. As it is now, Lothran has no such thing

but she can always resort to senseless violent murders to rob her 'fateful wictims'. And feel great about it, yesn't

EDIT: The most I ever had was around 175,000 stuffness, as my mage did not need much to spend UNTIL I stuffed a mod that improved spell efficieny. By paying X the casting cost decreased Y%, till an optimum.

I ended up keeping sth like 800 stuff.

Heh. Buffy certainly has a dark side, but she is not into senseless killing. Here is some insight on what makes her tick:

* * *
"And what of you Buffy? Your skills and euipment attests that you are no stranger to killing."

"I have a doctrine that I live by," I replied looking up from the crimson Tamika's in my goblet. "It's written in blood."

"A doctrine that tells you when to kill?" Aradroth flashed a smile. His look of boredom was now one of mild amusemant. "I'd love to hear it."

I recited The Buffy Doctrine: "If you are kind to me, I will love you dearly; if you are mean to me or my friends, I will likely kill you."

The assassin arched an eyebrow. "Buffy, what a deliciously fascinating creature of contradictions you are!"

"I have learned to survive in a harsh land, and I lay no claim to goodness." Defiantly returning his gaze, I continued, "killing with my bow is exhilarating, and I do not apologize for that. When my friends are threatened, I freely admit to rage, vengeance and even cruelty. I - I simply do not kill innocent people."

With a soft ring, the touch of our silver goblets signaled a truce - or at least an understanding.

About 4k currently for this new character, but I had a character who purchased the Vanilla Skingrad manor and hardly dent his wallet once.


So I think about 100k at one time maybe?

Currently got around 1,400. I'm using my new mage character who is making money by selling potions and poisons and working through the mages guild halls to get into the university.

50,000.

Around 500k.

Man if you are low on gold you could always do the Mehrunes Razor plugin. On average thats about 100,000 right there, which incidentally, put me right over the 1,000,000 mark.

With my Argonian im topping off at around 14k.

I spend a lot of it on arrows. /: Once i get about 20k though i plan to buy a house.

Calacirya has well over 2mil. I never spend any money on anything anymore, and it just piles up without me even realizing it.

Ezra has maybe 4k or somethimg, she's only level 2.

this game DEFINATLY becomes more boring the more money you get.

one of the main reasons I start a new character is because of this.

I enjoy the scrounging, roleplaying aspects of being low level and poor.

I ALWAYS use iron/leather gear... even my level 20 c's use the iron bow.

glass/ebony etc.. looks stupid.. I cant immerse myself in a character running up and down mountains in a suit of heavy armour.

This can be very true. We take steps to keep poor. Either directly with the command console (remove gold) or sell our top stuff and buy it right back numerous times losing huge amounts of gold each transaction (sell a whiz bang enchanted bow for 800 and buy it back for 5000 a few times).
At higher levels, enchanted items can provide all the protection you need, so dressing purely for looks (leather/Arena raiment, a pretty dress, whatever) works just fine.
These types of steps have kept my character and I happy for about 550 hours with no end in sight (that, and a lot of roleplaying, lol).

My main character has about 1 mil, the new one has about 400k. They both spent a lot of time "shopping" at Rockmilk cave, carrying the loot to their house in Leyawin and selling it there. The hassle of having mercantile as a main skill. :laugh:

So true, right now I have about 700 septims. Enough to give some to the poor and still make those last spells before heading to Bruma

Level eleven character: 35 septims. Just bought a potion. I love it.

Poor Buffy. She's level 20 and just went over 10K again. She'll wake up tomorrow several K lighter and we'll blame it on that darn Count Bravil and his property taxes. As it is, the only thing the girl ever picks up to sell anymore are items that weigh less than 0,2, like gold coins, arrows and scrolls and maybe a ring here or there.

She likes to bribe strangers, tip people and make lots of enchanted presents for her friends. She also makes lots of spells, then figures out better ones, deletes the old ones and makes better ones. And she buys every apple and carrot she can find for her horse. Oh, and every bottle of Tamika's for herself. Lol.

I have somewhere between 10,000 - 12,000 Septims at the moment. I'm using Enhanced Economy with Cutthroat Merchants, but it still doesn't help. Vilja's also stopped being so high maintenance, so I'm not spending nearly as much for her. I think I might buy the Bravil house, to lower my money... It's dingy, but it'd be a bit better for two, and I could use a proper bookshelf. Of course, then I'll actually have to pay rent...

Speaking of, Acadian, since you're on PC (at least, I think you are), you might want to consider TNO's Enhanced Economy. It has a number of options to make money a lot more sparse (like the aforementioned home rent). Then again, you seem to do quite a few RP things to lower your gold, so you might not even need it
