Hoarders UNITE!

I've finally gone cold turkey on hoarding. For over a year I collected every Ancient Nord weapond from Draugr. When I finally had over 5000 stored in Honeyside I staggered to the center of Whiterun and dropped them all. Too bad I didn't know how to take a screenshot on the PS3!
 
OH! I so agree on the herbs and alchemy stuff. I collect all kinds of it and always have a huge supply. I also have a habit of buying out the apothocaries and selling them my old potions to pay for it. Then, about once a week I create a couple hundred potions and the process starts again.

I do love to pick flawless jewelry and I do fill Grand Soul ( and Black also ) with grand souls by killing mammoth. I love to have a lot of them for my enchanting purposes. So far I have 45 black souls and 123 Grand Souls + about 10 of each flawless jewelry. :)
 
i'm currently working on amassive hoarding project, i want a shiny room, a room that is leteraly filled to ceiling with gems and jewelery...any tips on how to get a alot of gems fast without paying for them? lol it would be epic to have a room filled with shiny treasures and lydia opens the door and it just spills out on the groundand drowns her lol.
 
Does anybody else collect the "Unusual Gem"s? I'm up to about 14 now. I only need one! Why do I keep collecting them and why are they at everyplace I go. Obviously they're not that unusual.

I did on my first character, but I got so sick of seeing that quest and having to search for them. Ever since my first character, now I just leave the gems where they are, it's not worth it in my opinion. Eventually I'd like to finish the mission, sure, but just not anytime soon, lol :D

just get the guide book prima put out a few months ago and so the quest took me like 30 mins or so, they list where the gems are so it's easy
 
I have a habit of buying and picking up every cure disease potion I see. The habit started because I didn't want to go through the process of praying at a shrine or filling a black soul gem to cure vampirism.
 
Any and all potions, except Potions of ____ Magicka. One of my characters had Minor Healing in three digits, and even Ultimate in the dozens. Same for Stamina.
Also Hawk Feathers, and other Cure Disease ingredients (plus the potions, of course) -- even if I should never need them due to being a werewolf.

Gems, ingots and ores (when I have a pickaxe on me) of all kinds. I have never used a single Moonstone or Orichalcum ore/ingot, but nevertheless pick them up/mine whenever I see them. On my current character (level 39) I have at least five of each kind of Flawless gem, except Diamonds. Flawless Amethysts are no longer a rarity, even though I don't have Prowler's Profit (that quest is just too damn time-consuming and lame).

I used to pick up every circlet/necklace/ring and valuable and/or enchanted weapons and armor pieces, but I've seriously cut down on that. Now I don't even pick up Ebony weapons (except swords), even if they're enchanted.

While I don't usually go out of my way to pick alchemy ingredients, I do take them whenever I find some on bodies/in containers. I stopped picking up Bone Meals, though, because I had over 50 of them after I used up all my ingredient supplies up to the point where there were no more matches.
 
well i have noticed for the first time that there are forks in skyrim, guess who has hoarded over 200 fork!
 
Soul Gems. They aren't filled? They remain in the inventory and will go ONLY when they're filled. It's getting quite heavy.
 
So I made a new character who is supposed to be a broke Skooma addict and alcoholic, and at one point I made potions to help me get money to pay for my addiction. HOWEVER, at one point I had about 3000 gold, and thought "OH NO, I'm breaking the rules of my build!!!!" And blew it all on Skooma, moon sugar, and lockpick training. Now he is broke again... and I realized I can't make potions anymore, SO, I have to ignore all the ingredients I find. I never realized how hard it was to force yourself to ignore plants around you, or ingredients in containers! I was literally telling myself out loud, "Don't take it, don't take it" until I passed by :D

You have much fortitude. The best I've managed to accomplish is only making potions that people would be likely to want. No more mixing stuff just to make a high value potion. And only taking ingredients I'm likely to use. And I STILL end up with stuff that just sits.

I actually have trunks full of 'em. It's gotten to the point where I just take a bunch with me and recharge my weapons constantly to get rid of them. I even stopped carrying my soul-suck weapons or using the spell. Sheesh - down to about 2K now! Maybe I can start filling 'em again in about a month...

Oh yeah. It doesn't matter what I'm doing... Big tough killer suddenly stops what he's doing and picks flowers. Sheesh... I have enough ingredients to open an apothecary and enough potions to keep me in septims for the rest of my life. All I can say is thank goodness I invested in all those businesses and took the perk to sell anything to anybody. At least now there's only about 8 feet of potion bottles covering my interior! One more trip to the shops...
 
it would be nice to turn those furs into a nice rug or even have them hanging in your house. wonder if a mod could be made for this.

Naginata - your addict should come see me in Riften. I now have 1,273 bottles of scooma and over 2,000 moon sugars. I gotta stop buying the stuff and not using it. At least if I was using it I'd have an excuse. I'll give it to him/her for free and let my housecarl know that you can sleep in my basement when you need.

So far, I haven't used ANY of the Skooma or moon sugar I bought, I like to just hoard it :P I'll happily take yours! :D
