Would like to share with you one way I just recently found out to make killer amounts of gold fairly quickly and hassle-free. If your tired of running back and forth from dungeons carrying loot this is for you.

It's simply to use the transmute ore spell from the school of alteration. It takes iron ore and makes it silver ore, and takes silver ore and makes it gold ore. This is an adept level spell, so you don't even need to have alteration that high to use this often. I found the spell in the bandit camp Halted Stream Camp or some such like that a little north of Whiterun. Its on a table down in the mine, which has tons of iron ore in it for you to start making profit immediately. Especially if you make silver or gold ingots in a smelter then turn them into rings or amulets then enchant them, MAJOR profit. You can also start buying iron ore from every single blacksmith you run across and still make profit at just the cost of the ore and some magicka. Hope this helps you guys out there with "never having enough gold" issues.

If you run around doing a few quests, looting the odd cave/hideout.. buying/selling at will, you end up with at the very least 500-1000 gold per gaming hour in normal time. Cant see why anyone would need to concentrate on gold seperately.

Cheers for sharing anyway.

Well if your like me then that amount of gold is nowhere near enough to keep me sustained, as I love improving my skills fast. I buy 5 skill levels every level in different skills. I buy out blacksmith's ingots along with smelting my own to fast level my smithing. I buy grand soul gems to enchant my armor whenever I reach a new level of armor. Basically I'm just rushing my character to get really high leveled skills and perks because I miss the feeling of being godly like I am in Oblivion. And because I want to stay ahead of a friend of mine who got the game at the same time.

I am pretty sure you'll get much more money enchanting weapons made from that iron ore than you would changing it to gold and enchanting the rings.

On the contrary, I actually make killer amounts now since I usually have alot of gems laying around (I don't know why I just find alot) and I make gemmed rings and amulets then enchant them with either fortify carry weight or fortify one-handed or two-handed, seemingly the most expensive enchants in the game so far. I can drain a npc's gold amount by selling just two or three of them most of the time. Iron weapons would not fetch such a high price.

/e Also should mention that when done in bulk iron weapons/armor would weigh alot more then rings/amulets for carrying to a npc shop. (If one isn't nearby already)

You probably have difficulty finding shop owners with enough gold to buy your stuff lol

Even playing normally I find that I have too much stuff for shop keepers to buy.

Here is another tip that I found works pretty well, once I've drained a npc's gold amount I start looking at what he has that I could use or benefit from at all, (Ingots, soul gems, ingredients, spells) then I buy them and keep on selling my stuff to him. Basically once I have all their gold is just turns into trading items for items, except I'm getting rid of crap and getting stuff that I can use.

I think that Fortify Archery or Fortify Sneak beats the value of your choice of enchantments, and I am absolutely sure that Banish beats them all. Banish is ridiculously valuable, and that's an enchantment that you put on weapons instead of apparel.

But of course, you first need to find all of these enchantments before you can cash in.

Thank you I did not realize that banish was that valuable, I'll have to go take a look at it. But I know for a fact that fortify carry weight enchantments are more expensive then one-handed or two-handed enchantments, which are already more valuable then fortify archery enchantments.
