Steed Stone.

Income. Thievery, Murder for the DB, Dungeon Delving, Grave Robbing, Bounty Hunting, Dragonslaying. (I always have at least 20 high level healing potions because of a bad incident I had with an ancient dragon).

currently im using the sign of the steed so that i can carry more treasure while im out raiding ruins :devil:

my main source of income is from killing dragons and selling their bones and gathering a HELL load of ingrediants all over the whiterun tundra and creating resist potions to then sell them on for quite a few septims.

im currently training my speechcraft way up so i can invest in markets etc but bloody hell its taking ages!
any tips for speeding up speechcraft?

so guys what birth stone are you under and what is your main source of income?
:biggrin:

I spend money on speechcraft training. You gotta spend money to make money. :smile:

There is a way to cheat/grind it in Riften by talking to the guy at Black-Briar Meadery and (Persuade) over and over again. But I personally find it tedious and unnecessary. Training is far quicker and more pleasant.

My main source of income is enchanting iron daggers with Banish.

I also use steed stone most of the time. It's so good for Heavy Armor users.

I took the Warrior stone for Archery and One-handed leveling. I always use the stone that levels the skills that I will use in combat so they will level faster.

My primary source of income is from hunting for stuff, selling the items I can't use for smithing, smithing stuff and selling the products and the extra supplies.

Mage. Alchemy provides a steady income for me.

Warrior stone does not help with Archery. Thief Stone helps Archery level faster. I only learned about it few days ago. I always thought it was Warrior stone, too.

Don't use any "birth" stones. I do use a Guardian Stone (I guess they changed the name from Oblivion's "Doom" Stones because they thought new players might think them a bad thing with that name. Kept the same basic game mechanics, though).

Guardian stone? Steed, when I eventually find it on a character. Until then, whichever is the most useful that the character has come across.
Income? Dungeon looting.

I'm using the Lover Stone (makes all Skills rise 15% faster) currently.

My source of income is Bandits, victims of my feedings (my Vampire Assassin raids the homes of his food sources for any gold/valuables they may have), looting those "Hired Thugs" that keep getting sent after me because I steal from my feeding victims, and the pay from the Dark Brotherhood Forever contracts (getting around 1200 Septims per contract).

Yup, Evil is good, and it pays well too.

I smith/collect all daggers due to their low weight then enchant them with the best value enchantment for maximum profit, also buying/harvesting ingredients then selling the potions soon leads to having way more loot than merchants can afford to buy.

Thief stone.

I murder for money, DB quests and I literally just kill when ever there is a good opportunity, everyone carries rings, jewelry etc. If I have to go to a tavern for a quest, I get very suspicious of everyone around me... Were they listening?? What did they hear??...... They all have to die...
(my Dunmer is highly suspicious and more then a little phsycotic)

Speaking of psychotic, I made Michael Myers in the character creation screen last night...

Warrior at the moment. As for income I use enchanting and adventuring for income. Also questing.

Now I have the Lady.

» Wed Jun 13, 2012 9:12 pm

I use The Lord Stone currently cause I'm a light armor fighter who hates magic, so the magic resistance is nice. I'm also considering The Lady Stone, and might switch to that later.

I adventure for gold. I don't really need money, so I don't trade a lot, and I don't overloot. I only have the gold I find, and then occasionally I sell expensive magic loot. I never sell anything I made myself using Smithing or Enchanting. No point in stockpiling gold :shrug:

I'll use any stone I come across until I can get to the Steed Stone. That's the stone for me, a must-have.

Source of income: Looted armor and weapons mostly but I love mining for ore, transmuting the ore and making jewelry along with some alchemy potion sales too. :tes:

My Nord went with the Lover Stone, to ease the path to lv 81 somewhat.

Main source of income is alchemy. Potions are much lighter than looted weapons/armor and the ingredients are everywhere.

» Wed Jun 13, 2012 11:05 pm

Mage Stone. I'm using the Transmute spell to eventually make gold jewelry, then enchanting them (and looted goods) before selling; alchemy to make and sell potions/poisons; dragon bones/scales.

Conan is using the Warrior Stone. (I have three other characters, but he's the one I'm playing most lately.)

His income as of late consists of selling the weapons, armor, and jewels he's scavenged from the bodies of enemies and their hideouts. He's also collecting on Bounties that he picks up from Whiterun and Solitude.

Seed Stone is my only choice. My income is from anything I find while explorering, making potions/poisons with stuff found, & smithing whatever ore I find.
