Name: Ashara's Merchants and Trainers Version: 3. 0 Date: 04-04-2013 Category: Mercantiles Requirements: latest official Skyrim patch plus all 3 official DLCs Author(s): Ashara Source: Nexus: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/28996 Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=116394609
Description ========================================================================================================================================== This mod adds two merchants and trainers called Xenia and Bjorn.
Xenia ------- You can find Xenia in most of the inns of Skyrim and at the Inn at Raven Rock. She has a lot of money (30,000 gold coins) and is also a master trainer. She doesn't sell anything. Xenia offers the following training services: 1.- Sneak - Windhelm 2.- Destruction - Whiterun 3.- Pickpocket - Solitude 4.- One handed - Riften 5.- Light Armour - Markarth 6.- Enchanting - Morthal 7.- Two handed - Dawnstar 8.- Conjuration - Falkreath 9.- Illusion - Riverwood 10.- Restoration - Rorikstead 11.- Alchemy - Dragon Bridge 12.- Archery - Winterhold 13.- Heavy armour - Ivarstead 14.- Block - Kynesgrove 15.- Alteration - Old Hroldan Inn 16.- Lockpicking - Nightgate Inn 17.- Only buys items - Retching Netch (Raven Rock)
Bjorn ------- You can find Bjorn in the inns of the five main cities (Markarth, Riften, Solitude, Whiterun and Windhelm) and at the Inn at Raven Rock. He sells all the skill books, alchemy ingredients and metal ingots available in game and also all the ingredients available in all three DLCs (Hearthfire, Dawguard and Dragonborn). Bjorn offers the following training services: 17.- Smithing - Solitude 18.- Speech - Windhelm
Be warned that Skyrim merchants buy/sell options break if they have more than 30,000 gold coins. So, if you buy lots of things from Bjorn an he ends up having more than 30,000 gold coins, you won't be able of selling him anything (actually, you'd be able to sell them but you won't receive any gold for the items you sold). If you want to buy and sell from him, sell the items to him before he reaches the 30,000 gold limit. This Skyrim bug doesn't apply to training
Adds two new NPCs to Skyrim: Xenia, a merchant and master trainer with 30,000 gold, found in most inns, and Bjorn, a merchant selling all skill books and alchemy ingredients. A popular utility mod from 2013 with over 1,000 endorsements.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,080 endorsements and nearly 20k downloads.
- Xenia's 30k gold means you can sell high-value loot without fast-traveling between vendors.
- Bjorn's inventory covers all skill books and alchemy ingredients—great for completionists and alchemists.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2013—may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
- Xenia only appears in inns, so you'll still need to track her down if you're in the wilderness.
For Skyrim players who hate vendor-hopping to sell expensive gear or hunt for skill books. Also great for alchemists who want a one-stop shop for ingredients. Skip if you prefer lore-friendly or immersive NPC additions—this is a pure convenience mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod is from 2013, check if your Skyrim version is compatible (e.g., Special Edition may need conversion).
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and manage the mod easily.
- If you're using other mods that alter inns or merchants, load this mod after them to avoid conflicts.
