Infinite Free Arrows Exploit

  1. Find a location where archers are training by firing arrows at targets. Simply pick up the arrows they’ve used to collect your freebies. Wait for the archers to shoot more arrows, if they don’t, wait an hour.
  2. One good location for finding archers is the Thieves Guild Faction Headquarters. Archers in training never use powerful or specialized arrows, but there is a way to duplicate any arrow you want.
  3. Level up your Pickpocket Skill and unlock the Misdirection Perk. You’ll need at least a 70 in the Pickpocket Skill.
  4. Sneak, and steal the equipped arrows from the archers, then place one arrow you want duplicated into each archer’s inventory. The archer will equip the single arrow you’ve given them and fire it infinitely. This will work with any type of arrow.
  5. If the archers ever stop, wait an hor or collect all the arrows in or around the targets. Now, enjoy your ill-begotten gains.

if you bring followers to become blades they will also shoot arrows at targets, they can also be your personal followers. so if you choose one of them to be your follower jsut give them the arrow you want to duplicate and then part ways and let them fire at the targets and collect!

I think the easiest arrow to get is definitely steel, although they do poor damage you can find them anywhere and I didn’t cheat yet I have nearly 9,000 I’m sure the farther you advance in the game the better arrows you will find so there’s no need to cheat

You don’t even need the Misdirection perk, so long as you pickpocket them of their arrows BEFORE they equip their bow. Which is harder, but probably not as hard as pickpocketing everyone who ever lived in order to get your skill up to 70.
