Adventurer ' s Almanac , 1st Edition Content . By Skordo the Knife If you ' re like me — or you want to be like me , which is understandable — you ' ve got talents people want . More importantly , talents people will pay for . Demand for people like us is high these days , so I took the trouble of writing down my best leads . Why ? I couldn ' t take all these jobs if I wanted to , and selling these books is a nice little score on the side . If you stole this book , go and pay for it . Unless it ' s in a lending library , then steal it and we ' ll call it square . Moochers . Crafting Writs They don ' t call me " the Knife " on account of my forge work , but when I ' m in town between jobs it pays to check the notice boards . Grab a writ , hammer on some things , get paid , and find the tavern . Easy money . Guilds Easiest route to steady work ? Join a guild . It ' s what they ' re there for . That might seem obvious and stupid to put in my book . Almanacs cover everything , stupid . If you like solving problems with violence , legally , the Fighters Guild has you covered , plus they ' ve got guild halls all over Tamriel . I don ' t endorse the illegal sort of killing , but I hear the Dark Brotherhood accepts all kinds of murder contracts for hire . Maybe blood isn ' t your thing , but riches definitely are . I could say , hypothetically , there might be a sort of Thieves Guild that organizes that sort of sneaky business . Again , almanac , just being thorough here . The Mages Guild may seem exclusive , but they got needs too , so pay them a visit even if sorcery isn ' t your thing . They ' ve got locations in most cities . Now if you ' re looking for a big score and maybe don ' t got a lot of sense , go get in the good graces of the Undaunted . They ' ve got enclaves in the major capitols and treasure piled higher than Red Mountain that they ' re just itching to give away — provided you ' re crazy enough to do what they ask to earn it . War The Three Armies never stop fighting . Throw your lot in with an alliance , get to Cyrodiil and the Imperial City , and reap the spoils . Plenty to go around . For the victors . And don ' t forget folks in those war torn regions need more help than anybody . Whether you want to charge them is your business , but there are always towns out there in need of some help . Regions of Interest Some places just have more need for people like us than others . I don ' t just visit Wrothgar because it reminds me of home . Orsinium ' s got a big demand for tough types to go out and pacify the wilderness , and while I can ' t say it ' s conventionally profitable , Craglorn is such a crazy place that half the time the stars are falling and the other it ' s raining treasure . Don ' t forget to check the boards on the way out of town too , at least on the Gold Coast and in Hew ' s Bane . Bounties and all sorts of other odd jobs find their way onto the boards from folks who aren ' t picky about who solves their problems . The Last Word There you go . All the ways I know how to keep busy in this business . I ' m not saying you ' ve got to do all this stuff every day , but you could if you wanted to . And don ' t value sleep . Don ' t go thinking you can buy this copy and be done with it . Times change and when they do , Skordo the Knife ' s going to write it down . Save up . Tips welcome .
