lvl 13 archer 20k gold. Got all from quests/loot so far. I don't want to use on any of them on proffessions at least yet or maybe never because I'm playing on master and I don't want to make much easier from this. I've been only healing so far and I won't use any perks on magic/stats so not sure about buying spell books.

I don't know what any of that means. I do however understand the title of this thread and the answer is... shops.

mods, there will be plenty of them made that include some kind of gold sink.

There is nothing vendors sell that would give me upgrades, at least haven't seen once from any vendor. I meant with my text that I don't want to waste gold on proffessions because I think they're too powerfull so can't count on those.

buy a hoker wait house then hoker a bunch of hokers u can be the pimp of whiterun then perhaps all of skyrim

Have you been down the shops yet though?

Skill training is one option.

Houses is another option.

Of course, the most obvious option (at least to me) is...... why do you have to spend the money?

Best investment is a house by far and second is buy gear/weapons with enchantments to disenchant and learn for enchanting. The other is alchemy love those two skills.

Got 400k after buying several houses. I just keep accumulating gold for some reason.
