Title: "SKYRIM’S FORGOTTEN MINE: How to Generate 50,000 Gold/Hour Without Leaving Whiterun!"
Introduction
Skyrim is a land of endless adventure, but what if you could amass a fortune without even stepping outside Whiterun? Hidden beneath the city lies a forgotten mine—Gloryhole Mine—that most players overlook. With the right strategy, this unassuming location can become a gold-generating powerhouse, netting you 50,000 gold per hour with minimal effort.
In this guide, we’ll uncover the secrets of this hidden gem, detailing the fastest farming method, essential perks, and how to maximize profits without exploits (unless you count respawning chests).
#1: Locating the Forgotten Mine
Where is Gloryhole Mine?
Gloryhole Mine is a small, unmarked cave southeast of Whiterun, near the Honningbrew Meadery. Most players rush past it, but inside lies a hidden merchant chest linked to the Khajiit caravans.
How to Access It:
- Fast travel to Whiterun Stables.
- Head southeast toward the rocky cliffs near the meadery.
- Look for a small mine entrance partially hidden by foliage.
#2: The Infinite Gold Loop
The Secret: Merchant Chest Respawn
Unlike most containers, Khajiit merchant chests reset every 48 in-game hours. By looting this chest, waiting, and repeating, you can farm high-value items indefinitely.
What’s Inside?
- Precious gems (Diamonds, Sapphires, Rubies)
- Jewelry (Gold, Silver)
- Potions & Enchanted Gear
- Scrolls & Soul Gems
Estimated Value per Loot: 5,000–10,000 gold (with Speech perks).
#3: Optimizing Your Earnings
To hit 50,000 gold/hour, follow these steps:
Step 1: Boost Your Speech Skill
- Invest in Merchant (lvl 50) to sell stolen goods.
- Unlock Haggling (lvl 30) for better prices.
Step 2: Use the Wait Function
After looting, wait 48 hours (open the menu, select "Wait"). The chest will respawn.
Step 3: Sell to Vendors
- Whiterun’s blacksmiths (Adrianne, Warmaiden’s)
- Khajiit caravan (if present)
- General stores (Belethor, Arcadia)
Pro Tip: Quicksave, punch the vendor, then reload to reset their gold.
#4: Advanced Tactics (For Even More Gold)
-
Enchanting Loop
- Disenchant looted gear.
- Craft new items for higher resale value.
-
Alchemy Bonus
- Brew expensive potions (e.g., Invisibility + Damage Magicka Regen).
-
Follower Glitch
- Have a follower pick up items to bypass carry weight limits.
#5: Why This Method is Better Than Others
- No Combat Required – Safe for low-level characters.
- No Exploits Needed – Uses vanilla game mechanics.
- Faster Than Quicksaving – More reliable than vendor reset tricks.
Conclusion: Become a Skyrim Tycoon!
With Gloryhole Mine’s hidden chest, earning 50,000 gold/hour is effortless. Whether you’re funding a homestead, buying training, or hoarding Daedric artifacts, this method ensures you’ll never run out of septims.
