Question

How and where do I find Jarl's friend to buy the house from after the Whiterun Battle?

Community Answer

He is usually upstairs at the table or he's on the great porch, through the big double doors, or he's in Jarl's quarters, which is the first door on the right at the bottom of the staircase.

Question

I cannot purchace Breezehome in any way. I tried hundrends of diferent combinations. What should I do?

Community Answer

Complete the main storyline up until you slay Mirmulnir, the dragon at the western watchtower. Go to the Jarl of Whiterun afterwards and collect your reward. This will ensure you reached the point of purchasing the house. Go to Proventus Avennici, the steward. Talk to him, and the option to buy Breezehome and all upgrades will be in the options.

Question

Is there a way to get easy gold in Whiterun?

Community Answer

The easiest way I've found to harvest gold is to loot an invisible chest from the traveling merchants throughout Skyrim. The easiest one is in Dawnstar.

Question

How do I get a house for free?

Community Answer

There is no way; however, you can make money quickly by using Transmute on 100 iron ore, crafting the gold ore into rings, and selling them.

Question

I have the money but cannot purchase the house, even though I completed the needed quests. What do I do?

Community Answer

Continue quests until you slay the dragon at the tower; this quest is activated after arriving at Dragonsreach with the Dragonstone.

Question

What can I do if the dragon stone quest is too difficult, and I don't have enough resources to progress any further?

Community Answer

Do other minor tasks to secure more wealth and build up to it, such as finding the Golden Claw and giving it back to Lucas in Riverwood.

Talk to your spouse and children, there will be an option to have them move. The destination must have valid sleeping accommodations to appear as a choice.

Question

How do I buy a house in Whiterun if Brill is dead in the street and I can't find the guy with the big sword?

Sheogorath

Community Answer

I don't know who the guy with the big sword is but if Brill is dead, then reload a save where he is still alive. Or, alternatively ask the Jarl and they might point you in the right direction. Or, use cheats and bring him back.

Question

Is there a way to get the house without doing the quest?

Sheogorath

Community Answer

No, it is the same with all other holds. If you ask to buy the house, they will say that you have to do a service for Whiterun before they will sell their property to you.
