How to unlock the Golden Touch achievement in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition - Definitive Guide

As long as you pickup expensive items and sell them regularly during the game you should have no problem getting this, but it will take roughly 15-30 hours of looting with very few purchases in between.

A quick way to accumulate wealth is by making use of the Dawnstar Chest. It is located just to the left of the iron mine in the ground next to a few rocks and a tree. The chest is not visible, but a prompt to loot it pops up when you hover your cursor over it. Here is a video showing its location.


Make sure to empty the chest completely so it can refill which will occur every in game week. Somewhere between 2.5k-10k can be made from this chest depending on your level and speech skill each time you loot it.

Just to add there are multiple hidden chests dotted about the place. Here's a video showing where they are https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnX7d7YJ_tE

I always find alchemy is a huge money maker, so keep that in mind and look up the most valuable potions to make, always collect ingredients from the land while walking (there is a lot of documentation about this online)

I just want to add.

IF THE ACHIEVEMENT ( GOLDEN TOUCH ) DOES NOT UNLOCK ABOVE 100K, GLITCH, GLITCHES, BROKEN, BUGGED etc

You just have to earn over the most gold carried stat in your stats.

The Dark Brotherhood 20k reward for the last quest seems to be such an influx that if it pushes you over 100k the game gets confused. So a large sum at once seems to make the game confused.

What I did to get it to pop was I sold enough to get me to my previous best (111,594) and then found an item that sold for 1 (dwarven bolts), just to gently nudge me 1 gold over and this seemed to pop it.

Just wanted to pop this on the solution because there's very little help out there if this glitches.!

To make this achievement easier find Ahkari the kahjit merchant wait for her to appear outside dawnstar the hidden chest is her chest.
1. Loot Chest
2. Save game preferably in front of Ahkari.
3. Attack Ahkari or kill.
4. Reload save
5. Talk to Ahkari
6. Loot Chest again.
Making Ahkari hostile and then reloading the save and talking to her will reset the chest so you can loot gold and potions and then he’ll it back to her or go to a general goods trader

This is SOLELY for the duplication glitch, as long as it is not patched!

To start out, make your way to Solstheim via fast travel or talking to the ship captain at Windhelm docks. He will ask for 500 gold unless you progressed in the story enough to get the random encounter for a quest that leads you here. Remember, if you don't want to walk to Windhelm, make your way to the carriage at whiterun stables and he'll take you for 50 gold.

Step 1. obtain an East Empire Pendant. Easiest place I found one was in Raven Rock Mine, there's a small jewel box just a little ways in.

Step 2. Do the duplicate glitch via mercenary (or however you can else you want to do it if possible) and get around 200 or so but keep one saved somewhere. NOTE: only dupe UP TO 100 at a time or there's a great chance your game will have tremendous lag or just freeze.

Last step. Talk to the general trader Fethis Alor in Raven Rock and ask about the pendants. He will buy these off of you for 500 gold each (or depending on barter perks maybe?) And the best part is, doing it this way doesn't make you wait 48 hours for him to have money again! That's right, he has unlimited money when he buys these pendants off you!

For this reason, I believe this is faster than duping other items, because it is not as time consuming while you wait for stores to restock gold, and these pendants are light so you can carry a lot.

If there are other npc's that want a specified item, you can try this with them too. I just found this one the easiest for me.

I have uploaded a video I did to show what I mean, or for those that prefer videos.



Hope this helps!

The video seems to no longer work, but yes boy this method still works,
I could advise not to try to drop more than 50 pieces at once while doing the duplication, but it totally works.

The way I achieved this was by just doing jobs for the Thieves Guild or the Dark Brotherhood.
They give you around 50-800 for the Thieves Guild and a 1,000 for the Dark Brotherhood.Plus if you haven’t gotten the achievement to restore the Thieves Guild this a great way to do this also.

I like the guide above but there is more than 1 hidden chest found throughout the game. I do not take any credit for this video. If you would like to see more I would highly recommend viewing twodynamics videos for more Skyrim information!


Each chest depends on your level so the higher level you are the more you can obtain from each chest!

~ Happy Hunting!

If you go for platinum, you’ll still save up more money than you need. You don’t need to bother with anything special. Sell ​​jewelry, enchanted items and collect gold itself. There is no need to specially carry cheap loot to merchants, you will only waste time. And pump up your stamina to carry more things.

You need to find good enchantments (shooting, banishing, etc.) that increase the value of the item many times over when enchanted. We make iron daggers or leather helmets (low-cost items in terms of raw materials). We cast enchantments and sell them to merchants, and at the same time upgrade blacksmithing, eloquence, and enchantment (you just need to upgrade all of this). Something like in the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4M4mAiUnoU. If you do such manipulations between tasks, then by the end of the game you will easily gain 100 kiloseptims or more, without bothering too much with the trophy.

The simplest method will take you 3-5 hours on average.
And so everything is point by point.
1) We marry Camila-Valeria (Sister of the Reverwood merchant).
2) After the wedding, there is an opportunity to find out about the profit in the shop; for one game day it gives 100 gold.
3) The house in which you live with your wife, go to bed for 24 hours. And then you take the money.
Ps They try to give her money, you can repeat it at least 10 times after she will give you 1000 gold.
PS2. The chest is updated every two weeks in Dawnstar. And sellers have gold every two days.
