True story...
One day, I came out from a bloody dungeon with barely any strength left. My bags were filled at capacity, I even had to drop some valuable loot to be able to travel safely to the nearest city. When I arrived in Whiterun, I visited Adrianne Avenicci to sell my treasures. After a couple items, she ran out of gold so I had to visit Ulfberth War-Bear next. Then, I went to Belethor, Arcadia, Elrindir, Eorlund Gray-Mane and finally Farengar Secret-Fire. The town's merchants litteraly ran out of gold. So I decided to visit Solitude's merchants then Riften's to sell what remained of my treasures. It took me over a week to sell everything.
So what! That's a common tale, I hear you say? What does it have to do with us?
Let me enlighten you and let us rejoice in the glory of the Nines as our prayers have been heard! As of this very moment, all merchants across Tamriel and beyond have been granted an infinite amount of gold!
Ahhhhh! But there are other mods that give merchants a ton of gold you replied to me.
Oh no! Noooooooo young one! No mod does what mine does... Simply adding gold to a merchant merely delays your misery, wouldn't it be much better if merchants never run out of gold instead? Let that sink in for a moment... NEVER RUN OUT OF GOLD...
I can hear you asking yourselves if your first born will be enough? Fret not brothers and sisters as this one is granted for free, we're of Dovahkin blood, we're family. Just help this humble prophet spread the word so all our brothers and sisters can see the light!
So what this mod does?
- -- Master Trader (perk) --
- Every merchant in the world open up their trade route to you. This guarantee they'll have at least 5 times their basic gold on hand to barter with you and they'll never run out of gold.
- -- In simple words --
- It modifies the barter dialogue so every time you select "What have you got for sale?", it adds 5 times the basic amount of gold to the merchant if you have the Master Trader perk. That means that
Master Trader is a small utility mod that resets merchant gold whenever you initiate barter, ensuring traders never run out of gold even with their low default caps. Ideal for players who frequently sell large amounts of loot and hate waiting for merchants to restock. Simple and effective, though it hasn't been updated since 2014.
