There have probably been hundreds of these threads, but what's a good money making method that won't take six years.

I'm currently a 36 night elf with 100 destruction, and about 50+ all other non combat skills.

you dont do anything with money in skyrim, so why bother?

anyhow, if you really want some money, go wander around, kill dragons and loot them and sell the bones/scales or forge iron daggers and enchant them with good spell and sell

If you're a level 36 and you don't have enough money to survive then you should put skyrim down and try something more your speed, like elmos letter adventure.

You make it sound like skyrim is in any way difficult.

Google the prowlers profit.

Make insane bank.

Was fun to do.

Questing is the best way to make gold, doing things like bounty missions for holds is a good way to make money since the reward is leveled.

Dwemer ruins.

LOL.

if you can't make enough gold to get the gold achievement by just playing the game then you should stop playing because you're playing it wrong

I cant get the achievements on mine but in my house my box has at least 150k worth in it if I ever managed to sell it all and all I did was the main questlines

Banish enchant iron daggers, profit

turns each dagger value to 2k apeice... sells for 800 approximently in stores tho depending on speech

Enchanted....... Insane profit
