Money Glitch
Ah yes... The money glitch that will probably be patched in the next update. There is a place east of Mount Anthor and southwest of the Shrine of Azura, which are high up in the mountains south of Winterhold. You will find 3 skeletons there laying on the ground waiting for you to attack them or pick up some gold or armor lying around the place. Once you attack them or pick something up, 3 skeletons will attack you but are super easy to kill. On the skeleton on the table up the stairs, you will loot a book called The Doors of Oblivion. Pick this book up, exit inventory, then look at the skeleton's inventory again. GASP! The book is back. The book instantly respawns on the skeleton no matter how many times you pick it up. I've picked up 180 in a row and it still works. The book only has a weight of 1 but a value of 50. Pick up as much as you can carry and sell it to a vendor. Simple enough right? Don't worry the hard part is just finding the place.
Notes: There is a dragon and a dragon wall at Mount Anthor.
Just a few wolves and possibly a bear in the mountains but nothing you can't handle.
Shop owners only have so much money to give you, so sell as much as you can then wait 2 days for
their money to respawn. You can see the amount of money they have and the amount of money
they would give you at the bottom of the screen.
I would advise you to get as many as you can due to all the videos on YouTube and websites that
have let out this secret. This will most likely be patched on the next update.
Confirmed for XBOX 360 but I'm not sure about other systems.

Horses
Sorry I haven't been able to post as often because school started up again after winter break was over.
In Oblivion, some horses were better at certain things such as speed. Unlike Oblivion, Skyrim horses have all the same stats except for Shadowmere (see below). In Skyrim, all horses are the same breed, but they come in 5 different colors, each from a different city's stable.
Shadowmere is a special horse obtained from the Dark Brotherhood questline that can almost never die (unless it falls from a good height). Shadowmere has more than 800 health but regenerates it almost instantly. Also, unlike other horses, Shadowmere's eyes glow red.
Frost is the other special horse that can be obtained from the quest Promises to Keep. Frost has the color of a chestnut horse but has a little more health and stamina than regular horses. The only real difference is that it's name is Frost instead of (character's name)'s Horse.
Black Horse-Whiterun
Brown Horse-Windhelm
Dappled Horse-Riften
Paint Horse-Markarth
Palomino Horse-Solitude
All horses cost 1,000gold and can have Horse Hide and Horse Meat as loot.

Easy Money 2
I know that in my post "Easy Money" I said to steal instead of quest, but if you ARE a quester, this is the best money making technique. You just go on random quests, loot everything you kill, and store it all. Then, after you've done a few quests, look through all of your containers and items and sell everything you don't need or want, especially if you have duplicates of things such as armor or weapons. Aren't we all glad that in Skyrim it's 10x easier to make money than in Oblivion? 1 Oblivion gold = 30 Skyrim gold. That's probably why there's no such thing like the Scroll Glitch from Oblivion.

Stormcloaks or Imperial Legion?
Both have their pros and cons. And I know I'm going to disappoint people with this answer, but it all just depends on your opinion. I think most people would choose Stormcloaks beacause they seem more interesting because Ulfric killed the High King and he knows Dragon Shouts. That's why I chose the Imperial Legion because most people won't choose this side because the Empire banned Talos worship and they are invading Skyrim. Hopefully this helped some of you decide which path to take, even though it probably confused you even more. Good luck making a decision!

Marriage?
Yes, marriage. Most people are probably wondering "What's wrong with Bethesda!?" But the thing is that you get money and food from them. They can make you homemade meals for free and they give you 100gold a day once they open their "store". I call it a "store" because they don't actually open one. They CAN sell items to you ONLY but they stay inside your house 24/7.
Notes: You can wear any Amulet of Mara as long as you talk to Marammal about marriage first.
Maramal can be found at either the Bee and Barb or the Temple of Mara in Riften.
Amulets of Mara can be found in many places but if you can't find one, Maramal can sell you one
for 200gold.
No matter what gender your character is, you can marry any gender of NPC. Example: Males can
marry females or males. Females can marry females or males.
You cannot have kids even if you are married.

- Wear an Amulet of Mara
- Talk to an NPC that is able to get married
- Ask them to get married
- Talk to Maramal about a wedding
- Wait about 24hours to have your wedding at the Temple of Mara in Riften
- Your husband/wife will ask where you want to live.

Krosis
Krosis the dragon priest. |
Krosis is one of the 8 dragon priests found in Skyrim. He can be found at Shearpoint, a mountain, along with a dragon on top of a word wall with all 3 words on it.
The best way to kill Krosis is to first take care of the dragon. Do not run up to the word wall because then you will be stuck in a 2 on 1 battle. Shoot an arrow at the dragon then take care of him, being sure not to trigger Krosis by getting too close to the wall. The dragon I had to kill was a fire-breather but it might be random. When the dragon is almost dead he will land in front of the word wall. Continue shooting arrows until the dragon is dead before triggering Krosis. After triggering Krosis by going to the word wall, he will pop out of his coffin in the ground. For weapon users, just keep running around a rock and hitting him before he hits you until he dies. For magic users, do the same thing or jump on top of a short, slightly slanted rock and shoot magic (like fire or sparks) at him and keep moving to the low part of the rock so even if he shoots his staff he can't hit you.
After Krosis dies, he drops one of the 8 dragon priest masks, which is also called Krosis.

Houses
Now that you have some money from using my technique from my previous post, Easy Money, you can buy a house! Houses are good for many things such as storing your items without the worry of them disappearing and a place for your husband/wife to stay so they can earn you money from their "store". Here are some of the houses you can buy.
Location | Name | Price | How to get
Whiterun | Breezehome | 5000 | Complete Bleak Falls Barrow quest
Riften | Honeyside | 5k-8k | Complete Skooma Trade and misc quests
Markarth | Vlindrel Hall | 8000 | Complete Main Quest or level 20, Red Eagle Redoubt and misc
Windhelm | Hjerim | 8k-12k | Complete Blood on the Ice and Stormcloak/Imperial chain
Solitude | Proudspire | 25000 | Complete Elisif's Tribute (misc) for the Jarl
Manor
Most people would think that Breezehome isn't a very good house because it's the cheapest and easiest to get. I currently own and use Breezehome but it is actually an awesome house! It has plenty of storage space, a cooking pot and alchemy table, 4 shelves for your books, and two bedrooms for yourself and a housecarl. Trust me, houses are worth the money.
Notes: The house Hjerim has been known to have glitchy containers.
In Oblivion, you CAN fast travel inside your house, but Skyrim does NOT allow you to.
