Getting money easily, well I did it by theft as I'm playing a thief - but the trick is don't get caught. Easier to do as a thief because of high sneak (I'm guessing that you're a fighter type class given the fact that you want heavy armour.) If you steal from a merchant, remembr to sell the stuff to a different merchant - a merchant can recognise his/her own stuff. Remember if you are caught there is a bounty to pay if the guards catch you and they take any stolen stuff from you.
When I started the game I raided a slave base near Seyda Neen, you can sell most of the stuff you take off the bodies (and no bounty for any kills as they're bandits) and the slave bracers if you free the slaves, that will give you a start. Join a Great House or a Guild and do some quests for them, that will sometimes give you money or goods which you can keep or sell.
Best heavy armour... I'm not sure (I wear light armour) but the most expensive is ebony armour (which probably means its the best, but I'm sure somebody will confirm this for you).

You'll find that your quite poor at the start of the game don't worry about it to much eventually you'll have a lot more money to play around with. :)
Just steal what you can but try not to steal from merchants because they have a habit of noticing items you try to sell back to them as stolen.
I advise not joining the Redoran great house if you are looking for rewards however because i'm currently a member and after 5 quests i haven't been payed once.
Asking about heavy armour tells me that you'd prefer to be a warrior class over a theif class so once you're in Balmora perhaps you'd like to join the fighters guild to earn some money?
Anyway the best heavy armour is daedric armour but it is so rare that your best bet is ebony as suggested by Taliesin.

where can i find some ebony armor?
Red on 7/7/2002 at 14:27
Well I know where some ebony armour is which even a noob can get BUT to be honest I wouldn't try this until you are at least level 6+ because ebony is VERY heavy and at low levels you wont be able to move wearing it never mind hold anything else.
I'm just starting out a new heavy armour character and he's about level 5 and steel plate armour is just fine even iron armour is ok at low levels but I like the shiny steel. ;)
Be warned though finding full sets of any 'rare' armour (glass, ebony, daedric, orkish etc) is extremely hard. Don't get me wrong though you can get a full suit of ebony armour + shield but you may well have to fight and kill some very good npcs for it e.g. Duke Dren, Head 'Elf' of the Redoran house, High Elf trainer in Vivic's arena canton (don't kill the duke by the way ;) ).
The best place to get a FEW peices of ebony armour (helmet, cuirass, sheild, etc) is in the Redoran vault in Vivec. If you haven't been to Vivec and don't know what I'm talking about then you should stick with steel and iron until your more experienced.
Good Luck :)

where is the key for the lower vault i found the upper by killing one of the guys but the lower i can find anywher

There aren't always keys... usually by the time you want to steal stuff from vaults, your security skill would be high enough to pick the locks anyway. If it isn't, just raid some smuggler caves, you'll be able to find lvl 100pt unlock scrolls(ekash's locksplitter). Those will unlock almost everything in the game(I've heard some doors can't be unlocked with magic, but I'm not sure).

there is actually one way to make alot of money. Join the assasins guild (Morag Tong in vivec in the storage room at the Arena) and eventually they will start giving you 1000 gold for alot of the kills you make I made alot of money. I have 24,000 gold. alot of it came from the guild. Also sell unessary items or weapons, artifacts etc. Infact I could tell you alot of ways to make money. Go pearl diving. steal from people. But I am sleepy and i am going to bed
