Best dungeons to Loot
I find the large monster caves with just animals and chests boring, but don't always have time for the deepest delves like Varsa Baalim. So far my research seems to suggest Nornalhorst has really good loot, and perhaps Barren Cave. Vampires are pretty fun enemies, seeing all the creative ways their classes can spawn, and this gives a good range of possibility for leveled loot.
Nornalhorst is pretty overlooked- 2 rooms but not huge, not many puzzles or story but plenty of enemies, 2 Vampire bosses, besides packed with Welkynd and Varla. Good number of regular chests.
Interested in more like these that are not too well-known but worth running.

Worth noting that Bloodcrust Cavern nearby could be decent so that makes for a bit of a gear grind rotation.

Rockmilk Cavern; bandit and marauder war.

thanks, I knew I had seen that but kept thinking it was the fort where Goblins and Marauders (I think?) fight.

It's a well known dungeon but Sundercliff Watch caverns which are added by the Mehunes Razor DLC are the best. Resets every three days, contains several boss chests and always has 40-50 human enemies who level with you so they can become a great source of every type of armour including Deaderic. I clear out the place at least once every level and have the wealth to show it but it requires a much bigger inventory like Bag Of Holding or Midas Chest and a follower or two. It's a great place to train skills like restoration, conjuration and destruction.

Tried Bloodcrust and Fingerbowl (which is very commonly recommended). Nornalhorst and Barren Cave are so much better so far, leveled weapons/armor, enchanted jewelry, staves, Vamp dust, and more randomized NPCs.

Loot is all leveled so it doesn't matter where you loot from, it's just randomized to your level. At level 1, all your loot will guaranteed be steel, iron, fur and leather.

right, but some caves have more chests and NPCs that tend to generate with better stuff. Like, starting at a certain level Necromancers can have Black Soul Gems, but mostly they have robes, a poison, a mace, and scrolls.

Bandits and Marauders have good base armor but rarely anything magical.

Yeah that rock Milk cave is good to loot when you're high level cus everyone will have glass and daedric armour, which is ridiculous to think narrative wise but such is oblivion level scaling.
