How to Make Money Fast in Oblivion Remastered
Making gold quickly in Oblivion Remastered is one of the first things many players want to master after leaving the Imperial sewers. Whether you’re funding spell research, gearing up with the best equipment, or simply enjoying the freedom of buying up property across Cyrodiil, having a reliable source of income is essential. Fortunately, there’s a straightforward and repeatable method to make money in Oblivion Remastered right from the start, and all it takes is a bit of alchemy and a good walking route near Skingrad.
Start Immediately After the Tutorial
Once you’ve escaped the sewers and completed the tutorial, you’re free to roam the open world. Before heading out, make sure you’ve picked up a mortar and pestle—this is crucial. If you missed it in the sewers, you’ll need to buy one, as this tool is the backbone of your gold-making strategy.
Farm Ingredients near Skingrad
Head to Skingrad, located southwest of the Imperial City. Use fast travel to get there quickly. Once you arrive:
- Go to the West Gate and exit the city.
- Near the stables, you’ll find a vineyard full of grapes. Harvest all of them.
- Then, travel to the East Gate of Skingrad.
- Leave through the gate and head just slightly north to find a farm with tomatoes.
The key here is to gather grapes and any secondary ingredient that restores fatigue—tomatoes work perfectly and are freely available. This will allow you to create fatigue restoration potions.
Craft Potions for Profit
Open your mortar and pestle and start crafting. Combine grapes with tomatoes (or any other fatigue-restoring food) to create a bulk supply of Restore Fatigue potions. These are highly valuable in the early game and can be crafted in large quantities with minimal effort.
Don’t worry too much about matching exact effects—so long as you’re including grapes and a compatible ingredient, you’ll be able to mass-produce potions efficiently. This is where you really start to make money in Oblivion Remastered.
Sell Your Potions in the Imperial City
With your inventory now full of Restore Fatigue potions, fast travel to the Market District in the Imperial City.
- Upon arrival, head straight forward and then turn left.
- Look for a building with a sign labelled The Merchants Inn.
- Inside, locate a green-skinned NPC (likely an Argonian or Bosmer) and barter with them.
This vendor will happily purchase all your potions, instantly turning your foraged goods into a sizeable stash of gold.
Repeat the Cycle for Infinite Wealth
Want to do it again? Here’s how:
- After selling, rest for three to four days, ideally in a different city (like the Imperial City).
- Don’t wait in Skingrad—the respawn mechanics won’t trigger correctly if you’re nearby.
- After waiting, return to Skingrad and repeat the ingredient farming loop.
- Then craft and sell your potions all over again.
With this loop, you can make money in Oblivion Remastered over and over with zero combat, zero investment, and minimal travel time.
Final Thoughts
This method of crafting and selling fatigue-restoring potions is one of the most efficient ways to make money in Oblivion Remastered, especially early on. It requires no combat, no high-level skills, and no gear—just a bit of patience and some smart foraging. With this strategy, you’ll have gold for spells, gear, and real estate in no time.
So grab that mortar and pestle, head to Skingrad, and start building your wealth—because in Oblivion Remastered, financial freedom is just a vineyard away.
