The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles Hints

Who are the best merchants to sell to?

  • 1 of 3: Ahjazda in "Things Found" and Earil in "Earil's Mysteries" (both in New Sheoth's Crucible district) each have 1000 gold and a Mercantile skill of only 6.
  • 2 of 3: However, neither one of them buys weapons or apparel, so you'll have to sell those items elsewhere (or store them somewhere) until you can get your Mercantile skill up to 50, after which any merchant will buy any type of item from you.
  • 3 of 3: As for selling stolen items, Raven Biter in Bliss' "The Choosy Beggar" is the only one I know of who'll do this in the Shivering Isles. However, he only buys potions and ingredients (unless your Mercantile skill is 50 or higher), and he only has 3 gold to buy things with (unless your Mercantile skill is 100).
