In The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, a bunch of the old gold-making tricks, like the Dorian infinite gold glitch and the scroll duplication glitch, got fixed. But players have found some fresh ways to rake in gold fast. Here’s the rundown on the best gold-making methods and exploits out there.

1. New Duplication Glitch for Gold Farming

Oblivion Remastered Character Facing And Interacti

There’s a new glitch in Oblivion Remastered that lets you copy valuable stuff like jewelry, lockpicks, arrows, or potions to sell for tons of gold. It works on PC and consoles and is way easier than the old scroll duplication trick.

How to Dupe

  1. Find a container, like a barrel or crate.
  2. Open it and check your inventory.
  3. Pick something you have a lot of (like 50 arrows or Chameleon scrolls) and “move” it to the container while holding Shift (PC) or RB (console) until you confirm the amount. The item won’t actually leave your inventory.
  4. Choose the item you want to copy (like an expensive ring or potion). It’ll show up in the container with the same quantity as the first item (like 50 copies).
  5. Grab the copied items and sell them for gold.

Notes

Stick to lightweight, high-value items. Quest items, unique stuff, or stolen goods might not work. This glitch could get patched soon, so use it while it lasts.

Currently it works in the 2025 Remastered version on all platforms.

2. Alchemy-Based Gold Farming Trick

Description: This isn’t a glitch, but it’s a solid way to make bank by using the Alchemy skill to whip up potions and sell them. It’s legit and works great, especially in the Imperial City’s Market District.

How to Perform

  1. Head to farms near the Imperial City and grab common ingredients like Grapes and Tomatoes.
  2. Make Restore Fatigue potions with those ingredients—focus on making a lot, not on quality.
  3. Sell the potions to vendors, like at the Merchants Inn in the Market District.
  4. Wait 3-4 days for the crops to grow back, then do it again.

Level up your Alchemy skill to make potions faster. Skip rare ingredients early on and stick to common crops.

3. Fortify Mercantile Trick for Better Selling Prices

 

This trick boosts your Mercantile skill temporarily so you can sell stuff for way more gold, making your sales super profitable.

How to Perform

  1. Finish the Mages Guild recommendation quests or get the Frostcrag Spire DLC to unlock the Spell Maker.
  2. Buy a Fortify Skill spell from a vendor.
  3. Make a spell that bumps your Mercantile skill by 100 points for 1 second.
  4. Cast it, then quick-talk to a merchant to sell while the boost is active (time freezes during dialogue).

You can also toss 500 gold into a merchant’s shop (normally an Expert Mercantile perk) to raise their gold limit to 2,500 (try someone like Aurelinwae at the Mystic Emporium).

Important Notes

Patched Exploits: The old Dorian gold trick (infinite gold from pickpocketing) and the scroll/bow duplication glitch are dead in Remastered because of fixes and changes to how gold works.

Console Commands (PC Only): On PC, you can cheat by opening the console with ~ and typing player.additem 0000000F [amount] to spawn gold. But this kills achievements for that save file.
