I just wanted to share something that happened to me that I think other players might enjoy since it made me a insane amount of coin.
One of the ways I like to make money is hunt and I would sell to the maid at the inn in the glade south of talmberg since those woods have ton of deer and boar.
After awhile her inventory had up to 33,000 coin but something awesome happened. One day I was just randomly roaming the area to train lockpicking and found the maid inventory chest down in the basement of the inn and was able to steal the full 33,000 coins!
I haven’t tried it with other inns or shop keepers but it may work for other players if you try to get a shopkeeper or inn coin up to extrem proportions then steel from their inventory chest.
Hope this helps
Edit:
Just did same thing at the miller north of Rattay I been selling stolen goods to him for a long time his wealth got up to 144,000 coin found his chest behind his house in the building right next to the river there’s a easy chest outside but the door is a very hard lock and his chest is a very hard lock opened both with level 14 lockpick and used a padfoot potion.
Crazy how easy coin is to get in this game!
Only down side is the trader will now have 0 coin therefore you will have to sell things again and again to get the wealth up again but you can loot the chest as many times as you please.
Lol for fun if you want unlimited supply of lockpicks steal all the millers lockpicks from his chest, wait one in game day for them to restock and steal them again. Also you can sell stuff you stole from him right back even if the red icon is on the item.
Second edit:
For coin farming you can go to the sword shop and armour shop steal from the very hard chests which is their inventory chest then go to the miller sell the items wait about 2 days and the shops restock and Miller’s coin just about doubles. If you like you can also buy all items from both shops you will obviously get the coin you spend from their chest just so you can get more items to make the millers coin grow and when all said and done go to the millers chest to steal all the coin.
The sword shop chests/wardrobes are first floor third room from front door or just left in side door and armour shop is second floor the door on the side wall.
