Invest in Riverwood trader, he has at least 10k after you do that, then advance 2 days and he has another 10k or so.

Don't you have to get the Speechcraft perk before you can invest in any traders?

yeah it's a branch on the speech tree but DEFINITELY something that you want if you plan to be making potions like that.Not sure where the other merchants are that get big boosts like that. Arcadia's Cauldron even after investing in her has only about 2k... but she does have way more ingredients and some rarer ingredients, less travel time to other shops. I'm considering investing in every merchant that gives me the option right now, It cost 500$ to invest in a merchant, and when you do it with the Riverwood trader and he has over 10k every time it makes it real easy to get rid of your stuff in bulk.

New Skyrim 1.4 update detailed

It’s been a few weeks since our last update on Skyrim’s status, so we wanted to share details on what we’re working on.

The Creation Kit and Steam Workshop are nearly ready. We’re currently working with members of Valve and our modding community to do some final testing, and we’re on track for a public release near the end of the month. We think Skyrim modding is one of the game’s best features, and we have the best modders of any game. It’s been a lot of exciting work for us, and we can’t wait to unleash it.

Skyrim’s 1.4 update is currently undergoing testing on all three platforms. The update will include fixes and optimizations for the most common issues people have been reporting (see below). We’re hoping to finalize this next week, and submit it to the console manufacturers for certification, as well as release on PC.

Our current update plan for the PC is to first release our updates as “beta” versions through Steam. This is something you’ll be able to opt into through Steam and back-out of if needed. This is an extra safety check for everyone going forward and should expedite and improve our updating process for our PC users. We’ll have more info soon on how this will work.

Echoing what we said back in December, we’ll continue to look into issues that are being reported and subsequent updates will follow. You have all supported Skyrim in a huge way, and we’ll be supporting all of you, and continue to make the game better.

After the break, check out the current changelog for 1.4.

I might try that once I am not needing the perks as much for combat skills. I do have the Thieves Guild "restored", so any fences have 4k apiece. That helps quite a bit. I had 15k gold when I started this process and am now sitting at 53k. Until I start buying and decorating more houses, I have more gold than i need. Don't even really need it for training as I've been abusing the Companions for that.

I looked at my game time played and I'm "only" at 95 hours. Easily the most I've ever played a game. I got SO burnt out...I beat the main quest, the Companions and the Mage's.

[j.hen]

I haven't played in months. I was waiting for a patch to fix some bugs. Not to mention the fact that the game was getting waaaaay toooo slow to play with my main character.

[Rylo]

I just picked this up again as well. I am focusing on main missions frm now on thougg

[Rylo]

I have been doing the mission discerning the transmundane and.... wow at how fucking ridiculous this shit is.

[Garrett67]

Luzarius just finished the game on Master without dying at all.
About 205 hours of gameplay.
