This is the easiest way to get unlimited loot and gold in Skyrim, and you can do it at any level. And YES that does mean you can do it pretty much at the beginning of the game, it’ll take 3 easy steps and you’ll be swimming in endless gold and items. If you prefer to see the process, you can watch my video at the bottom of this page!
STEP 1
Ok so you want to get yourself over to Whiterun, you can do this after you’ve done the Helgen tutorial, just run on over.
Then once you’ve walked through the front gates, you’ll need to take the first path to the left, head up the steps, and start following the path round to the right. Pass the first house on the right and walk right over to the wall of this house. You don’t need to move, just stand very still in the plants. You’ll then drop straight under the map.
STEP 2
For step 2, you’ll want to turn to the West and start heading for this broken hill in front of you, run straight at it, eventually you’ll even out and will be stood directly on it. When you are on it, spin around to the South and start walking down the hill. You’ll see a gap in the wall, head out of it avoiding this big pit in the floor here because you’ll just get stuck.
Now, you’re outside of Whiterun, here you’ve just got to run around the right perimeter of the wall, pass the gate and keep going until you’re outside of Dragonsreach. Once you get to Dragonsreach, walk over the rocks and through the invisible wall.
STEP 3
Ok, for step 3 you’ll want to walk over to this floating chest under the Skyforge. You can position yourself under it nicely to access it. You can just open the chest and take what you want, for some reason it doesn’t count as stealing. From here you can reset the chest again, but there’s a very specific process. Wait 48 ingame hours, and then walk over to position yourself under Eorlund Gray-Mane when he’s sitting at the grindstone (you can just wait an hour or 2 if he's not sitting there). Now with your crosshair pointing at the grindstone you can jump and then speak to him. Ask him what he has for sale, this will reset the chest and show you that he’s now got gold to trade with. So back out of the dialogue, and walk back over to the chest and loot it again. Now just wait 48 hours again, talk to Eorlund Gray-Mane and ask him what he has for sale, you can repeat this loop as many times as you want until you’re rich.
It’s worth noting that the higher the level you are the better equipment he’ll have in his chest.
Now to leave the glitch, just walk over to the two archery targets and start jumping.
Now you can either sell all of the items you don’t want at Belethors Goods, you can stash it all in Breezehome, or you can take all of the smithing items over to the forge and follow the “smithing to 100 in minutes” guide I made before. Click here to watch that video.
