A Gold Ingot
3 pieces of Gold Ore
A Gold Ore Vein
Some coins and coinpurses

Gold is the standard currency of Tamriel. Although officially the coins are called Septims, gold is the name used in your inventory and many other places. Gold is also a metal that can be mined, smelted, and forged into jewelry. Gold ore and ingots cannot be directly minted to convert them into currency, however, many merchants (Blacksmiths, Jewelers, and General Goods merchants) will buy them from you.

NotesEdit

  • Septims can't be dropped. However, they can be stored in containers.
  • 1 Gold Ore is needed for the quest Ringmaker.
  • Gold Ore can be sold to Pavo Attius for the quest Mine Ore. You do not need to finish his quest for clearing out the Forsworn from Kolskeggr mine in order to sell him gold ore.
  • 1 Gold Ingot is needed at Workbenches to improve Konahrik.
  • Ore veins (all types) sometimes do not respawn normally. See Mining (Bugs) and elsewhere on that article and its talk page.
  • Although the Gold Jeweled Necklace requires two Flawless Amethysts to create, three gems are clearly visible on the pendant itself.
