Reaching this destination

Rest in a hut or outside as soon as you start a new game. An assassin should try to attack you. Then, talk to a guard and ask about the Dark Brotherhood. Next, go to a mage in Ebonheart to get transport to Mournhold.

Easy money

Get to level 6 so that the Dark Brotherhood will make an assassination attempt on your life. Follow your journal entries until you can get transport to Mournhold. However, do not go there yet. Find someone who sells the Mark and Recall spells (try the Mage Guilds). Then, find the talking Mudcrab merchant located east of Vivec and on an island above Bal Fell. When you find him, use the Mark spell next to him. Then, go back to where you can get transport to Mournhold. Next, go to the Great Bazaar Sewers. Fight your way through the ghost and skeletons and until you find the Dark Brotherhood. kill them and take their armor, or as much as you can carry. Go to the armorer in the Great Bazaar. Let her repair all your items. Do not sell it to her, as she sets the prices low and sometimes claims some of your gear and the guard will fine you. Instead, once it is all repaired, use your Recall spell and sell it to the Mudcrab Murchant. He will buy at full price when it is in good condition. This will make up for some of the cost in repairing. Note: You might have to sleep a few of times; just sleep next to him and sell until you have sold all the items. Repeat this as many times as desired.

Best medium armor

To get the best medium armor in the game, travel to Mournhold. Find a Royal Guard. If your Speechcraft and Personality are high enough, you can Admire him until he likes you very well (anywhere from 80 to 100). Then, Taunt him until he attacks. Alternately, you can just attack one, but be prepared to pay the fines and possibly be attacked by more guards. It will be a long, difficult fight. Try to paralyze and poison him to make it go easier. When he is dead, take all of his armor. The Royal Guard armor is the best armor in the game, giving 158 AC when worn at level 100 Medium Armor. This is even better that the Ice Armor from Solstheim. Also, you can finish the main quest in Mournhold and talk to the king about what you have done. He will be impressed, and will give you a full set of Royal Guard armor.

Rare and valuable hammer

Note: Before you try this, keep in mind that the hammer you will be acquiring weighs 1000.00 pounds. You obviously must either get your strength very high be using feath spells and potions, or use the Jack of Trades and Soul Trap spell to create a spell that boosts your strength to maximize how much you can hold. You also must have a good invisibility potion or spell. To reach Mournhold, once you are level 6, rest frequently on paths and roads until you are awakened by a Dark Brotherhood assassin. You must kill him. Take the assassin's armor and knife. The armor is good for certain races, and the knife can be sold for a hefty amount of gold. Then, go anywhere and talk to a guard. Ordiantors and any other kind of guard should work. He will tell you to travel to Ebonheart (southwest of Vivec) and talk someone ther about the attacks. He will give you the name of the man you must talk to. Go to Ebonheart and talk to the man. He will tell you to speak with a woman inside the castle place in Ebonheart, and she transports you there with a spell. Once in Ebonheart, to leave talk to the mage inside of the first room you appear in Mournhold (may be wearing a purple robe). Go to the Godsreach section then go to the Artifact Museum. There are about five or six guards total in the museum. Go upstairs. There is only one Artifact. It is a very good hammer that is worth 130,000 gold pieces. There are two ways to get the hammer. The first is to go in with a mercenary and powerful weapons and spells and somehow kill all six High Ordinators inside, You will end up with a bounty on your head that will equal over 11,000 gold pieces. The second method (recommended) requires you to position the guards so they cannot see you. There should be two guards in the room with the hammer. One should be in the upper left corner (from the stairs facing towards the red box thing in the middle) on the other side of a table, and the other should be in the bottom right corner, on your right. First, go to the one near the table. He should automatically be facing towards you. There should be just enough room for you to fit in the corner directly behind him. Go there. Get him to turn towards you. Once he is looking at the wall, get out of the corner him moving (try "sneaking: out of the corner). Next, go to the only Ordinator remaining in the room. He should near the middle of two of those red boxes (that are against the wall). One of the boxes is very near the stairs, and the other is further away. Go the one that is further away and stand directly between the Ordinator and the red box. Get the Ordinator to turn towards you. Once he does, do the same thing -- get out from between him and the box without the guard moving. Once you are out, the two guards should be facing generally the same direction. Then, go on the stairs so that the black sphere on the end of the stone rail is halfway showing on the left side of the screen. You should just be able to see the hammer. Save the game at this point, in the event that one of them sees you. Then, take out you spell or ready your potion, and use it. With it on, aim the crosshair on the hammer and get the hammer.
