Notice

Please move on to Master Trader - Merchants Never Run Out Of Gold for the latest updates and fixes.

How does it work? In simple words, the barter menu has been modified so every time you ask a merchant What have you got for sale?, it adds gold to the merchant.

To resplenish gold once a merchant doesn't have enough left, simply exit the barter menu and ask again What have you got for sale? The delay before the barter menu is also gone, just like Vendor Sale Delay - Gone.

The longer explanation

Merchants keep their barter gold in the same hidden chest they use to keep their inventory, which means it's governed by leveled list laws.

Since the barter gold is technically not on the merchant, you can't pickpocket that gold or temper with it directly, at least not in a live fashion.

To circumvent this problem, this mod adds gold directly on the merchant before the barter menu appears. It's like reverse-pickpocketing, an invisible hand place gold in the merchant's pockets instead.

The final effect is the gold added on the merchant adds up with the barter gold, giving the merchant more gold.

To avoid exploits, the mod removes the gold on the merchant as soon as you quit the barter menu. Killing the merchant or asking What have you got for sale? multiple times in a row will not result in any gain.

How the gold is calculated

The mod offers different versions to replenish different amount of gold. This table illustrate the basis for all the calculations.

When deciding how much gold to replenish, the mod find out which type of merchant you're bartering with and select the basis amount accordingly.

Once we have the basis amount, we multiply it by the Gold Multiplier and this is where the different versions of the mod yield different results.

For example, Arcadia in Whiterun is an Apothecary. The basis amount is 500. If you use the 1x version, the mod
