Do I need to be at 100 for Intelligence and Willpower traits?

You can do it yourself - to have a permanent effect you probably need to boost your int to to 100. I just pay for someone else to do it - as I always had extra money. "Enchanters" can be found in the wizard's guilds and other places.

Guys, one question, how can you sell really expensive items and get cash for it, not buy everything the shop has then sell it back to them over the next few days as their money comes back up?

Copy that. Even if you have all the stats you need for enchanting items it's been my experience that NPC enchanters can do it better. It must be a game design thing.

I'm not certain I understand your question, guy.

Hey TQ,

If I kill a Daedra and try to sell it's weapon it is a few K septims. usuallly more than 6000. But none of the traders I have come across have more than 2000 - So I cant get straight cash for it.

I exchange it for all the trader's cash plus a load of items. I then sleep it over for a while (24hs I think) and then go sell back some of his items - for another 2000 and so on and so forth.

Any shops with more than 2000 spetims to trade with?

Two options come to mind. One, you can always sell stuff to the Talking Mudcrab. He's drunk, which makes him an easy bargainer, and best of all carries 10,000 in gold septims.

To find him go here:
http://www.buttersky.com/morrowind/#talking_mudcrab

By the way, this website is also a great resource for locating other cool loot and NPC's...

Your second option is to open the TES Construction Set (your editor that shipped with Morrowind) and locate merchants you wish to do business with and up the amount of default cash they have. That is what I did.
The TES Construction Set also allows you to make your own enchanments, weapons, armor and so forth.

A cautionary note: Once you figure out how to use the TES it's tempting to make very powerful weapons, armor and items. Be very careful when doing that because it's easy to upset the game balance.

The way I chose which merchants get more cash to was to determine where they were doing business.
For example, a merchant in Balmora (a rather well off city) would logically have more cash than a merchant out in the boonies of the Ashlands.
I also gave a couple of enchanters more ready cash which made for some interesting trades.

Back at'cha...

There is also a talking Scamp in called Creeper in Balmora. He is upstairs in the house with the orcs. He has 5000 and usually gives a good price.

TQ · 02-02-2004, 01:17 PM

Heh...I'd forgotten about him.

Thanks WhiteEclipse.

That's what I did. I had an enchanter make a Constant Effect 1-15 Levitation Ring for me. With the Boots of Blinding Speed on, I get some good effects with the ring. Of course I need the Ring of Azura at the same time.

Is there a way to make a Constant Effect 20-30 Levitation item?

There is also an Armorer in Mournhold with 10,000. But the Mudcrab is better to deal with because he's drunk.

Certainly, via the TES Construction Set...you can pretty much do anything with it, which is why it's so tempting.

Hmmmmmmmm. Tempting.

What's the best one can do with the unaltered game?

I think you'll just have to experiment with an Enchanter and see what happens.
But playing around with TES is pretty fun.
