When the Gold Begins to Weigh Down the Trees...

Post by dragon wench »

So I'm curious...

I don't generally power play, but there are certain things I will buy or have made once I begin to accumulate some serious gold.

*I buy any armor, weapons and clothing from the various boutique/merchant mods I have running

*I CE enchant exquisite jewellry with, in the following priority:

- water walk

- water breathing together with night eye

- levitate

- invisibility


I don't usually enchant weapons or armor, and I stay away from enchantments I find a bit cheesy (i.e CE restore health).
If I'm in a hurry to level because of wanting to do quest mods, I'll also spend gold on training.


Others?

I often enchant a Robe with a levitate spell, to cross distances quickly. Paying for it, of course. Also, when i'm using light armor I garther money for a while and then I go to the Ghostfence. Of course, I get out of there with a full set of glass armor, wich i'll enchant one by one, paying afterwards, usually with fatigue restoration, healing and attribute enhancement items.

I have not found a place where Ebony or Daedric armor are sold, so I still couldnt buy them. But I wouldnt think twice if I had the money.
Flesh to stone ain't permanent, it seems.

I often throw together some stuff like a ce telekinesis ring (because I think wizards earn the right to be lazy sometimes), A *go into a crazy, bloodthirsy rampage* ring (because where would an evil char be without berserk powers?), and a ce resist normal weapons 60% amulet (because it's fun to be able to fight guards and have their weapons just pass through you :D )

This is for Dragon Wench.

Don't waist your money on creating a CE Invisibility. The invisibility only lasts until you do something, AKA attack, open a door, etc. Then you have to take off the jewel and put it back on for it to work again. The Camelean spell is much better for this stuff, but unless your using MODs you can't create a CE with 100% on one piece, you have to make many pieces and spend alot of money.

The rest of your list is good, What i like to do is get an exquisit Shirt and enchant that with CE Levetate. That way i can fly over mountains.

lol! Cheers; I knew that though ;)
Basically, I just use a CE invisibility item when I want to move around quickly and easily without being bothered (since you obviously can't run while sneaking). If I want to steal etc. undetected I use the Amulet of Shadows combined with a high sneak skill. Although, my sneak skill is usually advanced enough that I don't need any extra aids. :cool:

just find an annoying uninmportant character, that guy who lost his ring in seyda neen will do just fine, start persuade-admire for ever (stop inmediatly when you get below 50, and find another test subject) keep on doing this till you get it to 100, now you will have no problem in a lot of quests where a high persuasion skill means 100x decrease in difficulty, also it means a few easy (almost free) levels

now find a safe area, outside the city, practice a magic skill forever, at the and of this you should have gained some 10 levels, now the gold comes easy, just walk through vvarvendel...

looting every crevace will make sure you need not buy anything but an occasional hammer to repair your equipment, and selling excess materials can be done by creeper the scamp;, or the mudcrap merchant, if you don't know where they are, just look on the internet...

This time around...level 3 Female Red Gd starting out w/the Imperial Cult series of quests. I've spent tens of thousands, still have tens of thousands, have stolen very little from NPC's or their quarters & have been in but one egg mine & only the cavern just NE of the Sedya Neen Silt Strider. No tombs or crypts yet. Have the Bank Mod v2.4 by Indestructible & Havokk thing going, so plan on playing this like r/l Yoko Ono. I'm wondering if there's a limit on how much $ I can stash before 'breaking the bank'. Should be interesting to find out. Just as in r/l, compound interest is a wondrous thing to behold!

Spam removed. Please stay on topic. This thread is about how to spend all that gold the broken MW economy provides to us all. It isn't about individual playing styles.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.
