does anyone know how to make a lot of money fast? Preferably not involving running all over Skyrim for items/ doing quests.


I'm trying to earn enough to purchase the Proudspire Manor and all its furnishings.

If you're playing on the PC

If not search the forum. There are a couple of exploits posted here.

Alchemy, some potions are worth over 200 gold even with bad skill.
One smart way is to disenchant something with damage fatigue, then enchant weapons with an petty or minor soul and damage fatigue, this increase the base price with 600.

Go into dungeons.
Pick up things that weigh little and are worth a lot. I only pick it up if it's worth 15x or more than what it weighs.
Sell things.

It's that easy, and fast. Money in Skyrim is very easy to come by if you just explore go into random caves.

Get the Transmute spell and the Black Star. Buy iron ore from every blacksmith you visit. Turn iron into gold, turn gold into rings, enchant, sell.

this isn't really "fast" but burn through the dark brotherhood as fast as you can and do the randomly generated quests at the end over and over. pays really good money and all you have to do is fast travel and kill someone.
