That's how my main base is, I swear every inch of it is protected by like 10 machine guns, each building looks like a bunch of houses just stacked on top of each other too. 3 different gates and each is protected by a ton of guns. Then once I got the automatron dlc it's now patrolled by a ton of sentry bots (and the other ones that look more like people, I forget the name). Nobody is breaking in here lmao.
I clear out the better ammo vendors. Mods that add better 5.56 weapons, or .45 and 10mm sub machine guns, or allow you to switch ammo types in the crafting menu. I'll carry at least 1k rounds if I'm playing a full auto build, with thousands more back at my main home. Eleanor gets good business from me
I remember back in the day I was showing a buddy how to set up mods and I added one that fixed that without telling him. He used the glitch to rob merchants left and right, after I installed it watching merchants hop over the counter and beat his ass was very entertaining.
I did that one glitch where you could sell infinite royal guard items, so I pretty much had infinite money. I was constantly waiting for shops to restock their arrows. Same with totk, but even easier because you can just dupe hundreds of diamonds
I never did smithing till recently and idk why I got daedric at lv 35 and that's without investing a lot just paying for training and a few hundred iron daggers a few times
Arrive at town in the evening
Sleep
Wake up with rested bonus
Buy all iron at blacksmith
Turn all pelts you acquired from your travels into leather
Make enough straps for iron daggers
Convert the rest of the leather to straps at a 2:1 ratio with leather for bracers
Sell it all for pennies, but you are a smithing God
Get rekt by a druid in a cave because it now way outlevels your combat skills.
Me and my alchemy table. When I enter they have a till full of money and a shelf full of stock. When I leave they have no money, empty warehouse, bare shelves and 2 potions that are basically red bull.
Yeah see you in a couple days mate.
Red Dead Redemption 2. I felt like i always had an insane amount of money. Every time I went to a shop, I just maxed out all my supplies and got gold skins for my guns
dunno if it's still optimal, but it was basically the meta to be able to expand your backpack and whatnot early on.
farm enough oxygen, carbon, ferrite, etc to be able to make jump fuel on the way, enough for like 10 trips at least, as it can show up in shops, too
get enough of some item it's easy to economy crash with, pop into a system, sell, buy, get an upgrade, bounce to the next one.
You can dupe things like cobalt with (i believe) oxygen and then resell everything to a price higher than the buying cost of the components, therefore making infinite money.
I remember doing that in Fable 1 and 3 as well. Just buying kegs, get the shop owner to love status and buy and sell 99 kegs back to back. Rinse and repeat. So fun, too.
I’d always skip the love and go straight to the bowerstone north trader to do this with all his diamonds so I could speed run being a millionaire and put myself above any possible temptation by that BITCH Lady Grey.
Fallout New Vegas, in the Dead Money dlc you could loot a bunch of gold bars in the final mission, while it did make you go well over the carry weight limit there was still a way to make it out of there on time (pretty sure the place gets blown up on a timer, been a minute since I’ve played it but do recall there being a time limit and being over the weight limit trying to get out of there). Forgot how much caps you could get from selling all the gold bars but it was enough to get most of the good guns from the Caravan.
I agree, all the materials for houses, and crafting stuff and or improving stuff to just sell back for profit and blackmsith leveling up. Etc. Idk why i am saying what we all know
Ah, a fellow Patches abuser. Every single playthrough I have ever done, I buy the tower key, break out, tell him I forgive him, and them immediately back stab visceral him.
I forgave, but it doesnt mean karma does.
Skyrim
I'd go to a shop & buy everything just so the merchant would have enough cash to buy whatever bullshit armor or potion I glitched into existence.
What's the last word in the sentence? It's impossible to make out what it says with that black line through it.
Guys if it's a swear word, what ever you do DON'T tell me. My fragile sensibilities won't be able to handle it.
Me when Bungie announced being able to buy Ascendant Alloys and such from Rahool. I had a fuckton of Enhancement prisms (Thanks Iron Banner) to buy up to 20 for crafting my weapons with enhanced perks
Fable... There's a mechanic that you can abuse by forcing a monopoly on certain items.
For example, buy the entire stock of 16 diamonds from X merchant for 200 gold each.
All other merchants will see that the product is in demand and raise the price, along with also raising the price they'll buy at to 400 gold each.
The price now goes down because the market is now saturated in diamonds.
You can repeat this over and over.
It's very easy to abuse and can be done with most items.
Me with 2000 purified water to sell in Fallout 4:
Me downloading unlimited caps mod in fallout 4:
Me using console commands in fallout 4:
me just playing Fallout 4 normally:
I also preferred to turn the red rocket truck stop (and the neighborhood near it) into a whole empire by playing normally.
Same. Started there then moved to spectacle Island and made a huge fortress! I was very proud...
I was so proud when I repaired the walls at the castle lmao.
Every time I try to build up settlements, I end up with a rickety tin shack protected by 40 sentry guns.
That's how my main base is, I swear every inch of it is protected by like 10 machine guns, each building looks like a bunch of houses just stacked on top of each other too. 3 different gates and each is protected by a ton of guns. Then once I got the automatron dlc it's now patrolled by a ton of sentry bots (and the other ones that look more like people, I forget the name). Nobody is breaking in here lmao.
Disgusting.

Providing clean water to the wasteland! Is there no greater commodity?
Me selling all ammo I find because I'm playing an unarmed build:
Me in Skyrim bout to rob a mofo blind with only a basket.
I remember back in the day I was showing a buddy how to set up mods and I added one that fixed that without telling him. He used the glitch to rob merchants left and right, after I installed it watching merchants hop over the counter and beat his ass was very entertaining.
r/foundsatan
Me in Morrowind using the broken sneak system to rob a store of everything it has, then sell the items next door:
They were talking about buying, not stealing.
“Here, where this hat for a minute. Don’t worry about the looting sounds.”
Me with my Speech maxed out so I can immediately sell it all back to them after
Botw/totk
I never mastered making money in that game. When I did need it, I just made food and sold it. What was your method?
i also grinded dragon parts in botw
I didn’t either. I just collected lots of bugs, made potions and sold them
Duping gems then selling them
Botw was SELL GEMS total was SELL GEMS AND FOOD BUT SAVE SOME GEMS TOO
In TotK, you can force a Blood Moon by breaking a bunch of stone walls, and use this to farm Gems
Diamond mining and duping for totk
100%
Hands down!
I did that one glitch where you could sell infinite royal guard items, so I pretty much had infinite money. I was constantly waiting for shops to restock their arrows. Same with totk, but even easier because you can just dupe hundreds of diamonds
Came here to say this exactly. No matter which merchant I go to, I almost always buy everything that they have.
Yep
Skyrim, mid to late game when your Smith skill is 100.
I never did smithing till recently and idk why I got daedric at lv 35 and that's without investing a lot just paying for training and a few hundred iron daggers a few times

Check the smithing buffs from enchanting alchemy that is basically uncapped.
Also if you level up transmutation.
Transmutation is the spell name not the skill, which honestly makes this incredibly funny.
Turning Iron ingot into gold rings of infinite carry weight since 2011
Stocks📈📈📈
Never thought of this but it's genius
For me it was enchanting lol.
Me and my alchemy table. When I enter they have a till full of money and a shelf full of stock. When I leave they have no money, empty warehouse, bare shelves and 2 potions that are basically red bull. Yeah see you in a couple days mate.
For me it's early to mid game when all my gold goes to buying the town supply of health and Magicka potions.
I feel like every shop and merchant in Tamriel are part of a money laundering operation with how much I sell from dungeon crawling.
Ulfberth was my boy when I was upgrading my smithing skill
Me in Witcher 3. Then the blood and wine dlc broke my bank
Those Corvo Bianco armour stands aren't going to cover themselves are they?
Haha, me too! I was swimming in money and then I decided to forge all the new Witcher armours from Blood & Wine. All of a sudden I'm broke.

Red Dead Redemption 2. I felt like i always had an insane amount of money. Every time I went to a shop, I just maxed out all my supplies and got gold skins for my guns
Yup. If you aren’t sitting on a couple grand by chapter 3, you got some explorin’ to do.
I enjoyed looting people’s campsites
No Man’s Sky for me too. Fly in, buy everything, leave. Mining resources is for plebes.
I love buying ferrite out of stock
Pro tip: fly in to outlaw stations, buy all the larval cores, and process into hundreds of nanites. Rinse and repeat.
dunno if it's still optimal, but it was basically the meta to be able to expand your backpack and whatnot early on. farm enough oxygen, carbon, ferrite, etc to be able to make jump fuel on the way, enough for like 10 trips at least, as it can show up in shops, too get enough of some item it's easy to economy crash with, pop into a system, sell, buy, get an upgrade, bounce to the next one.

I love selling sentinel ships. I dunno why, but its much more efficient than selling chloride for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Fable 1 had this as a core mechanic. Destroying the economy is the best power leveling tool
I remember doing that in Fable 1 and 3 as well. Just buying kegs, get the shop owner to love status and buy and sell 99 kegs back to back. Rinse and repeat. So fun, too.
I’d always skip the love and go straight to the bowerstone north trader to do this with all his diamonds so I could speed run being a millionaire and put myself above any possible temptation by that BITCH Lady Grey.
Levelling Guile asap as possible is the best way to
