Exactly what is the best way to get gold? : V - Skyrim

Giant's Toe + Blue Butterfly Wing + Blue Mountain Flower = 900 gold potion.

While this is good, I prefer to use the Giant's Toe with Creep Cluster+Wheat. Just as easy to collect the ingredients for nearly the same price, while the wing and flower can make a fair amount separately.

And keep in mind you don't need a soul trap weapon. You can buy a soul trap spell and use that on a wolf or bear. Bears use up common soul gems. Wolves petty. Snow wolves lesser. Giants use grand. The spell lasts 60 seconds. The weapon usually only 5 seconds or less unless it's a really good one. Spell requires about 110 magika.

Pretty sure giants are greater, while mammoths are grand.

weapon soul trap also refreshes the timer with every successful hit on target.
