Which towns have conveniently located merchants?

[Lampros]

I can't unload my loot on Whiterun merchants alone. But other town merchants seem out of the way and thus hard to find. Are there any that are conveniently located for this map-challenged, blind person to find? ;) I go to the College of Magic a lot as well, but I can't find merchants that sell smithing materials there.

that would be Riften there are 1 misc items vendor on the market (Brand Shei) 1 armor and weapons aswell as some miscs too vendor (Grelka) , 1 jewelry vendor (Madesi)
Blacksmith near the market (Balimund) and another misc shop just 2 buildings away (Bersi Honey-Hand)

and under the city a stolen items vendor aswell there is a alchemy vendor near the canal

be sure not to do Brynjolf's quest to frame Brand Shei cause you will pernamently lose this vendor

unless you are using Unofficial Patches then he will respawn even after this quest

Any alchemists easy to locate? I've finished both Enchanting and Smithing, but only on the low 70s in Alchemy - in spite of 1700-plus ingredients harvested.

the one in Whiterun is easy to locate "Arcadia's Cauldron" its near Belethor's shop
and the Aromatics shop in Riften is just near the Inn

I have my speech skill up high so I enabled the perk to be able to sell anything to any vendor,..which helps out greatly,..Solitude has 5 vendors that are close to each other,..Riften I think has the most vendors,..

If you need to unload loot get the Bondolf Merchent mod, adds a Merchent to the Drunken Huntsmen that has 20,000 gold and it replenishes daily. It's so usefull.

Yeah, one of the most important perks to get in speech tree, you're not just tied to selling a selection of items, you can sell anything to any vendor.

What I have always done is just toss the Ring on the ground after you steal it and tell Brynjolf you lost it. You fail part of the quest, but you still complete it without any negative consequences.

I know; I meant outside of Whiterun. I always deplete Arcadia's stock, gather a ton of ingredients myself, and I still can't keep up Alchemy with the other crafting skills.

Be sure you hit all spots in Whiterun.

War Maiden - Both husband and wife (seperate money account)

Drunken Huntsman

Belethors General Goods

Arcadia's Alchemy

Jewelry stall in market place

Eorland Gray-Mane at Skyforge.

That is 7 people to sale items to.

I've hit all the guys you mentioned, and I've even invested in them - except Eorland Gray-Mane (as he's kinda out of the way). But I need alchemical ingredients most (sick and tired of gathering - 1700-plus ingredients harvested now!), so I need to find who else sell alchemical ingredients most.

Alchemists in towns are only viable way to buy lots of ingredients, although goods stores sometimes have the odd thing here and there.
