Homestead, Gold, Leveling, Farm

Overview

Guide to using your homestead to reach legendary status.

Helpful Advice

*: Aetherial Crown – The lover’s Stone & The thief stone
*: The thief stone – stealth associated skills 20% faster
*: Marriage sleeping – all skills to improve 15%
*: Necklace of fortify barter – better prices = more xp
*: Donate to beggars, more $ – better prices = more xp
*: Consider making the crafting set

You can plant in your house, ingredient yields and potions will be able in the table. Ingredient’s that are planted take 3 days to regrow in your house. So you can make a batch, quick travel to barter, and come back to your house.

Note: All these ingredients can be grown/harvested inside your homestead which can be purchased at (Falkreath, Dawnstar, Morthal)

Important: Plant the tall plants outside and the small ones inside so you can harvest with more ease.

PS. Really consider making the set in the index guide: 4. Alchemy + Blacksmith gear setup

Selling potions & enchanted items fast

1: Teleportation makes leveling efficient. Here is the route I use. Also, I haven’t played skyrim in a while so my route might be wrong since I’m rusty. Have fun. Also if you aren’t using teleportation use the carts.

I removed the barter potion from the list, it is important but Tundra root and Dragon’s Tongue are abundant in Skyrim, so there is no need to plant them. 1 fertile soil available I plant Bliterwort.
