[@Gilsworth]

I remember wanting to be rich in Oblivion, so I bought the house in Skingrad and got the maid who would give you a free pie every time you spoke with her. I got my alchemy up to full so that I could create potions using one ingredient. I solicited hundreds of pies from this poor lady, made hundreds of potions and named them all viagra, and sold them to the local vendor for bank. The potions were too heavy of course but if you drop them all at once they drop as a single item which you could then hold telepathically in the same way you can move bodies around. I did this up until the door, picked them back up, became over-encumbered, went through the door, and dropped them again. I became the most successful viagra salesman known in the Elder Scrolls and retired soon after.

[@bmak3979]

how long to 1 million?

[@Gilsworth]

@@bmak3979 It was a while ago, but I'd imagine it would take about 4 or so hours to get the full million. Choosing the same dialogue options to receive the pie and sell your potions like 3 or 4 at a time for max profit takes ages. This is assuming you already have max alchemy and the house and maid.

[@youtubehatestruthtellers8065]

Sounds like a myth

[@nousername2942]

Isn't the Skingrad house the one players should try to get first? Because the Orc guy you buy it from straight up walks off a bridge and dies during one of his NPC routines?

[@Gr3nadgr3gory]

I just set up an autoclicker on Dorian and come back in 15 minutes.

[@stoopidapples1596]

Honestly, you found a treasure far more valuable than 1 million dollars: an adoring fan.

[@iziama9410]

Imagine being a Bandit in Oblivion, worrying about the next time the Bandit Leader places you in a dungeon that keeps being cleared out. The day arrives for you to be stationed there. If someone enters or exits, you know it's none of you. But you hear it. The door opening. The sound of 400 pounds of armor stomping through the doorway. Ridding all of Tamriel of bandits. Why? Just to sell the armor he rips from your dead corpse. For a meme.

[@brunop.8745]

Makes you wonder why they're banditing in the first place, since the amor they carry is worth enough to buy a house by itself

[@zanethezaniest274]

[@trainershade1937]

There's actually a better merchant to sell to who is available very early on if you have the Fighter's Stronghold addon (Battlehorn Castle). They're a Dark Elf that can be found in the Merchants Inn, which can be found in the Imperial City's Market District. The dude has 2,000 Gold and very quickly gains disposition with the player (meaning you don't actually need spells or a high Speechcraft / Personality to get the most out of them, I've had times where he was at max disposition, despite having not met him before on the character).

[@thefallcor1]

came here to say this. he is always my go to merchant

[@Pancreaticdefect]

I remember earning over a million gold in Oblivion back when it released in much the same way. Only I didnt use the potions. I just killed an unknowable number of bandits and sold their loot an equally unknowable number of times. It was a grind only a much younger me would have had the time and patience to undertake.

[@mmmmmmmmdaaaamnnnnbabyyyy]

The good old days

[@Self-replicating_whatnot]

I remember doing the same in Morrowind, farming daedra in Berandas for weapon drops, souls and alchemic reagents.

[@midge9511]

Quick tip, rather than enchanting feather on your armour, fortify strength instead. You get the same carry weight benefit plus your attacks also hit harder :)

[@Sanguivore]

Very good tip! Somehow I never even knew that. :O

[@drpureinsanity]

Feather is slightly better carry weight over strength but strength does more damage with melee weapons so if you use melee weapons strength is a better enchantment.

[@midge9511]

@@drpureinsanity If you craft yourself then strength gives you same carry weight I believe. Finding random loot then feather is better prehaps?

[@amo5743]

@@drpureinsanity actually 🤓 the black soul gem ench feather 49 pts while black soul gem ench str 10 points and 1 str = 5 carry weight so str is better by 1 point

[@drpureinsanity]

_aCtUaLlY_ you're incorrect. A grand soul will have feather 50 or fortify strength 10, so they're the same. And before you try to say "but melee damage" well your weapon damage is capped at 100, so going over 100 strength is pointless. Secondly feather increases run speed by decreasing the weight of worn items.

You're a hero for providing a link to the songs you used in the description. Especially 'Leona Eclipse Dance' that song deserves a full deep dive into why so many people find it so familiar

probably because they've been in my games with that skin where i press ctrl 3 and go afk ☀

[@yea3395]

Remember that guy in the imperial city that you could use the Lovers Kiss and paralyze him and just infinitely take his gold. You'd take a few thousand, put it all back, paralyze him again, take more and more rinse and repeat.

[@greatbrandini3967]

I think you forgot that you needed higher level alchemy equipment to make more valuable potions. You can easily turn a 2G food item into a potion worth 150+

[@Steve_the_Radroach]

I just found your channel a couple of days ago and despite the fact that I'm not into speedruns, (other than the story behind some of them) or livestreams, you've become one of my fav KZbinrs to binge on a lazy day, thanks for the great videos

[@CoralCopperHead]

Yeah... and now it's at the bottom of my mainline TES list. Morrowind>Skyrim>Daggerfall>Arena>Oblivion.

[@WretchedRedoran]

@@CoralCopperHead Okay, but how is Arena higher up than Oblivion? Daggerfall I understand, but Arena?

[@AlchemistOfNirnroot]

If you make a fortify mercantile spell. You can invest gold into stores to make money faster given you used level 20+ items.

[@johnprager662]

Restoration actually takes a really long time to level up compared to the other magic schools. Destruction is slow too, but Restoration is much slower than Alteration, Illusion, and Conjuration

[@MrGhosta5]

He should have gone with acrobatics and just mashed jump under a low ceiling. That or use desintigrate armor on himself and then repair his own armor. That would train both destruction and armorer very quickly. You can also take sneak and do the trick were you pay the highway man and then mash the pickpocket button. You can also buy the prison cell for the vile lair and endlessly wail on the immortal prisoner to level blade/blunt/hand to hand.

[@nyoho3134]

Just wanted to say your intro are excellent, amazing work Jabo!

[@timomajere]

It's silly, but yet again.. finding it pretty neat to see your own name scrolling by when you was NOT expecting it. Oblivion is a fun game and was loads of fun watching someone play it. Hard to believe its been over 16 years now.

[@evelynsahoe8896]

as someone who started in Skyrim and has barely played Oblivion I am amazed at the depth and features this game has compared to Skyrim.

[@mag51284]

Real elder scrolls fans are still waiting for a modern elder scrolls game with the depth and rpg-ness of morrowind

[@JWalters388]

@SerMagnas Making sure Bethesda make open ended cities first before that could ever happen, and one of those reason is the levitating.feature.

[@countvronsky4025]

Oblivion is still making a half assed attempt to be an RPG with a bit of actual depth, attempting to give the illusion of a better Morrowind, when in reality it's a watered down, more accessable version. Skyrim, on the other hand, isn't even trying...it's unashamedly an action title, with some RPG sprinkles on top. Sprinkles that mostly boil down to "you can kill enemies during dungeon runs in multiple different ways!!!" It's kinda sad really, when you stop to consider the larger context and fundamental implications.

[@JWalters388]

@Count Vronsky I could give some leeway for Oblivion, considering the game is made with console in mind, you know, limited capabilites and all. Skyrim is meh, and Fallout 4, which made for the next gen console, just shows that Bethesda cares less about RPG elements.

Rockmilk Cave is my go-to for loot, it has bandits and marauders fighting each other so you can get light and heavy armor, plus if you finish the Mazoga the Orc quest you get extra money for black bows the bandits drop

[@aceofcaydes462]

gotta love the Mass Effect Sad music playing in the background at the end.

[@Rhetam]

Looking forward to the Fallout 3 version considering how limited the economy in that game is.

[@MrGhosta5]

The economy is still recovering in fallout 3 so a thousand caps is actually a lot of money. a 1000 caps in fallout 3 is worth about 10k caps in fallout nv.

Commenting about the console commands, not because I think it would help you in a non "cheating" challenge, but rather to add a comment so that the KZbin algo pick this video up! Good shit man, subscribed.

[@leonardsap13]

You conjuring whilst doing quests reminds me of runescape and using high alchemy everywhere!! hehe

[@MrGhosta5]

The best merchant is Nilphas Omellian who is inside the merchants in the imperial city merchants quarter as long as you have fighters stronghold installed. He has the exact same merchantile skill as Varel Morvayn but he has 2000 base gold. Daedric and glass gear starts spawning at lv 20. Lv 23 is when you can make the highest tier amber and madness weapons. LV 25 is when all leveled rewards in the base game cap. Lv 30 is when a few dlc weapons like dawnfang cap. Daedirc armor is actually bad to sell because it actually has a bad weight to gold ratio. A deadric cuirass weights 60 and can be sold at max for 3k so it's gold to weight ratio is 50:1. A glass cuirass weights 15 and is worth1800 which is a gold to weight ratio of 120: 1. The glass shield wights 6 and is worth 1000 gold for an impressive 166.66:1 ratio.

[@ExceedinglyFPR]

small tip to speed up the casting grind, add a touch spell of the same school to the self cast spell, the touch spells cast animation much faster than the self cast spell and it will still grant the xp of the self cast. also don't use the feather enchantment on armor, the fortify strength enchantment give the same benefits as well as melee bonuses.

[@brandonterrazas6672]

That Young Souls beat drop was iconic!

[@Jack-fw4mw]

14:00 Several Merchants added in the official plug ins (Included if buying the game now) have a base gold amount of 2,000; so with high mercantile skill can get up to 3,000.

[@ryanlazrine5345]

Fort wooden hand for heavy and the abandoned mine for light armors, they are both simple and small and have a boss enemy of either type in both. I have spent more time in fort wooden hand in my years of playing oblivion than in some of the cities im sure

[@Sanguivore]

Dude, yes! Those locations are great for farming gold. And, if I'm not mistaken, Walker Camp respawns as well; pretty good gold to be made there for simply killing 2 Camonna Tong thugs and looting their stuff. Pretty sure one of the chests there also always contains some enchanted loot.

Oblivion is like Mr. Bone's wild ride, the overall 'goodness' really depends where you go. The bone zone w minotuars at lvl 3? Or a hidden stach of goodies at lvl 3?

[@UnknownAlien475]

I've played this game for years and know how to make this process way faster. Using the merchant that the Battlehorn castle DLC gets you, invest in the shop. You get to sell things for 3k a pop, and go to the fort that comes with the Mehrunes Razor DLC. There, you find tons of guys with Daedric and Ebony gear, and they respawn really fast. That is the best way to make money.
