I just gave up on selling crap, personally. I just hoard money and make or find everything I need. All my crap? The drawers/cupboards in the Arch-Mage are for, left to right: ingredients, apparel, weapons. The safe is for scrolls, the end-of-bed chest is for potions. Barrel for food, which more often than not I just throw away anyhow. Books go in the chest above the bookcase over at Breezehome in Whiterun. Misc goes into the storage on the left just as you enter that home.
Pickpocketing got me loaded, and at some point you get deep pockets which increases your carrying capacity by 100, which is far better than wasting my points on Stamina upping capacity by a measly 5 at a time. What do you guys buy anyway? I have about 30,000 last I checked and only really spend money on leveling my alchemy or when a horse dies.
I'm a pure mage, which is fun. Working towards 100% spell absorption right now. Bit of a shame I wasted some perks in useless things.
Any tips for working on the pickpocket skill, getting caught & having to kill everybody then pay a fine helps nobody :p
Note the % of chance you'll get caught for a start. Practice on people in the middle of nowhere or alternatively, do what I did if you're up for a lot of saving and loading and practice in the Markarth Guard Tower (right at the top). There are often around six guys there sleeping. Pocket them all, dump the stuff on the ground, wait 6-12 hours, pocket the next shift of guards who are having their nap. :) Easily the best spot to level Sneak, too. I started off saving every one item, then as I got on I started saving for every three or four items pocketed. When you're getting higher in level, start wandering castles, palaces and the like (basically wherever a Jarl lives in a major town) and pocket everyone there, you can usually get a good spot to hide for every individual there, and they often sleep in these locations as well.
Cheers I'll start leveling up Sneak as well so, I'm at level 44 now & alot of the skills I use constantly have hit 100. I've finished the main companions quest, the dark brotherhood, college of winterhold & I'm nearing the end of the Thieves Guild & Main Story quests. I never thought I'd say it but apart from levelling stats I'm running out of things to do in this game as strange as that might sound :/Quote:

what Bob said works. I did mine going sneaking (using the muffle spell - helps a lot) at night in Winterun, leveling sneaking, illusion (muffle) and lockpicking at the same time (use lockpicking potions to get inside the houses, pickpocket sleeping folks). got them all to above 60 in no time :DQuote:

Muffle shuffle is great for getting Illusion up anyway, so it's worth doing if you want to get some really cheap skillups.
I just dual shot Courage at a sleeping dude for a half hour to get my Illusion to 100. He had extremely courageous dreams that night.
xD
I've barely touched Illusion at all. Every now and then I conjure a Flame Atronach (they make excellent decoys when you're against tough enemies), but beyond that, nada. I used Detect Life to boost my Alteration, it was needed when fighting the civil war missions (to more easily tell enemies apart) and also was helpful for the thief's guild missions. But post level 50, leveling up for perks is a bitch so I stopped bothering. Everything was easy by then anyway, although I do wish I'd got some things boosted a bit more, such as Archery, Destruction and Restoration.
Conjuring things is in the school of Conjuration, BoB. :colbert:
Master level Illusion spells are quite possibly the most hilarious in the game.
I know, I know. I probably should have made a more obvious note that I was talking about Conjuration at that point.
Illusion: Barely touched.
Conjuration: Occasional Flame Atronachs and nothing else.
Alteration: Detect Life.
Destruction/Restoration: Low level spells.
