I wanted to make gold fast, I was thinking if I go to harcane grove and grab the unicorn as a mount stable it outside the imperial city and aggravate the guards if I get them to chase me outside to the unicorn will the uni kill them off for me so I can pawn their armor to a merchant?

Make a bunch of Fortify Fatigue potions and sell them

I agree.
An easy way to do this is got to the Skingrad Graqe and tomato farms, and make a bunch of potions, then go sell them to http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Sinderion at the West Weald Inn. He has low Mercantile and will likely give you a good deal.

Every time I build a new character I always go straight to Fort Farragut. Poison apples are the way to go!!

Hopefully you are good at the lock picking game....

Potions and forts require too much effort because it requires a lot of waiting for respawn. I was thinking if I bring the unicorn by the city it is one trip to get the horse and then if I resist arrest for a very low bounty the unicorn could kill everything off that shows aggression, there are so many guards the stuff I could sell off them would be inexhaustible if the unicorn manages to kill everything that follows me.

Actually, the max you can harvest from these (to make potions) is 90, and at a novice level, Sinderion will probably give you around 18 gold peices fopr each potion, which with his 400 gold, gives you 396 gold pieces for 22 potions. This will give you about 4 batches, 4 times 396 is 1,584 so, even allowing for a few 'You find nothing of use' harvests, thats still an easy 1000 gold right there.

Have you tried Rockmilk Cave located on east of the river--between Bravil and Leyawiin? Bandits and marauders are constantly fighting between each other. Move into the cave until a cave-in script occurs and the enemies start attacking each other. Hide until the fighting dies down and finish off the weakend survivors. Loot the bodies and repeat the process every three days.

In my opinion, the best way to get Gold has always been looting caves. I find this more fun than making trips back between ingredient gathering and selling potions to merchants. Fighting in caves also levels fighting skills, like armor and blade etc. Plus theres also the chance of finding rare random loot.

The guards have silver weapons, so they can damage the unicorn. You may get quite a bit of loot before the unicorn dies, but the guards will eventually taker him down.

then again, if the OP has a powerful 'restore health on target/touch' spell or scrolls, this would work very well. assuming that he has enough...

Do you mind using the duplication glitch? Get Fin Gleam outside Anvil, dupe it, and haggle with the Anvil blacksmith (50 percent), and get 1200 gold per helmet.

So it will work?
I don't mind if the guards kill it as long as I can loot the horn from it after. Will the horn show up if the daedric quest for it isn't active?

Yes, but it will be a quest item.

Yes, it will work. Remember that the unicorn is always level 15 and does not level up. Therefore, this will work best at lower levels.

Yes, the horn will show up if the quest is not active.

The unicorn horn is a quest item. Quote UESP wiki: 'You do not have to be at level 17 for the unicorn to appear in the Grove. You can ride or kill the unicorn at any point in the game. However, killing the unicorn is no easier at low levels (the unicorn's statistics are not leveled). Also, once you have obtained the Unicorn Horn it is a quest item which, while weightless, still cannot be removed from your inventory until you complete this quest.'
Reference: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Hircine#Notes


The unicorn horn cannot be used to complete the Blood of the Daedra portion of the Main Quest. Only the 15 items listed at this link can be used for that:
http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Blood_of_the_Daedra#Blessings_of_the_Fifteen
In the notes at the bottom of the list in UESP wiki, you will find this statement:
'Only the fifteen items listed above can be used for this quest. All other items, even ones with Daedric origins (e.g., Mehrunes Razor, the Staff of the Everscamp, Staff of Sheogorath, etc.), cannot be used.'

Well, I prefer to do as others have mentioned. Make potions and sell. Easy and not violent

Potions is nice, however don't make to many each level as they are a nice way to get +5 in intelligence for a long time.
Rockmilk cave is nice after you do Mazura the orc quests in Leyawind, sell the black bows to the count for 100 gold each. Goblin totem staffs sell for 2000 if you have the expansions.

whats wrong with the infinate money cheat/glitch?

Some people play on a patched console game, or others (like myself) don't like doing that.

Because that is cheating or at the least exploiting a game glitch.But if that is your thing then do it,it's your game so only you can tell if it's right or not.
And buy the way welcome to the forums.

I wouldn't dupe on purpose if it were an option for me. Misusing the unicorn might be unethical but I can't really find a way to rationalize being a upstanding good guy all the time especially since I'll just have to kill it anyway. Two birds one stone.
Selling potions is a good idea but too much clicking, it's nice that the farms are there for it but one click for each ingredient, then many clicks with a loud noise that I gotta mute my t.v. when I make them. I'm getting old gotta save my joints for clicking on first persons shooter games. Although if you go that route I wouldn't sell the potions to the high elf down the street from him olgier garick is an alchemist his merchantile skill is a level lower than the high elf so he'll pay more.
Armor is more valuable than potions I won't have to sell as much and I will only need a few grand anyway. Thank you all for helping, I wasn't planning on making a new character but I can't delete spells on the one I have now and the page is too cluttered so he's going to have to be a throw away character that I use for experimenting making spells and stuff that I'll want on my new one.
