    Selling mats.

    I am not subbed so my inventory and bank otherwise fill up so fast.
    So I am constantly selling my mats and buying them back when I need them.

    Look into flipping items.... I just made 80k the other day on one item. Bought for one price. Sell for another. You have to know where to look and what to look for. Took me some time to find out.

    I have to admit that when I first got into making gold, I thought flipping items would not be realistic, of course that is not the case.

    Good grief, I have been doing Vvard chest runs and still haven't found a single page, I swear this game hates me, I must have angered some RNG deity at some point. (And yes I do have treasure hunter CP passive unlocked!)

    Literally combine everything everyone else posted. If you want quick cash, you farm 1 or 2 things(temper or gear) . If you want income, you dabble in EVERYTHING.

    Selling whatever I can to those people who can't be bothered finding things for themselves.

    You want to pay me for mats instead of farming them yourself, thank you. You want to buy food/potions/poisons instead of making them yourself, thank you. You want to buy motifs instead of finding/earning them yourself, thank you.

    Basically I make gold out of other peoples lack of time or laziness. Thank you.

    Six charecters all with 340 plus skill points all doing daily crafting writs, plus hirelings means a mountain of loot

    Sell any ornate items, surplus gold crafting items and alchemy stuff. Keep it nice and cheep for a steady total of about 40000 gold a day

    I don't farm for stuff unless I'm running short, keeping an eye open while questing supplies all I need

    Stealing, murdering, writs, dungeons, chests, troves - basically I loot anything and everything when I play. It all adds up to a ton of gold and mats. The awesome thing is I don't play to make gold. Gold accumulation is a natural byproduct of simply playing the game for funsies.

    I never flipped items because I found it tedious but I've sold plenty of surplus mats and gear. I don't farm intentionally but pick things up along the way. I subbed recently so I will sell less frequently and in bigger stacks. I will also stop selling some raw mats and turn them into consumables and sell those instead. Tri-pots, stamina+brutality+critical, magicka+sorcery+critical as well as some foods tend to sell quite well.

    Different techniques work best at different times. Also, changing them up is a good idea anyway, for fear of being bored.

    Further, prices are different on different servers, so the answers may be server-specific anyway. That said:

    1. Easiest is hirelings.

    2. Also easy s doing top-tier consumable crafting writs on max characters. You can make the stuff in advance (big stacks for alchemy & provisioning, whatever you have bag space for in enchanting). Three writs is 2K gold, and the value of other rewards surely exceeds the costs of what you make.

    3. However, for each of those you need to invest time, gold and skill points in leveling the crafts.

    4. Generic high-volume mob farming is said to work well, but presumably it helps a lot to have the banker and/or merchant assistants.

    5. Making good money crafting stuff and selling it in guild stores requires noticing market conditions as to what will actually sell. Don't expect people to give you their best current ideas for that (and they'll be server-specific anyway).

    I get most from selling in GT's. Loot and gear drops, mats etc. There are some peeps out there in game that do shady business practices unfortunately with bot farmers, gold sellers etc. I do not recommend that route.

    Farm things that peoples refuse to farm themself but still wish to acquire and sell it to them. Lots of option for an average but continuous gain, and it still work even if RNG gods are against you.

    This is pretty much the best and fastest way of doing business, but requires a certain amount of knowledge of the market + start-up gold budget.


    Miscalculations can come with great losses too, and I have lost millions on this. I still gained much more, which is why I continue :p

    Stealing
    I break in people's homes and steal items only worth 100 or more, on a good day I can make 30k. Now I have 5 other characters and once they are caught up to my main I should be getting atleast 180K a day.

    1. Don't spend it,

    2. Become a delve/dungeon vacuum cleaner and pick up everything, use it to skill up alts and do the daily professions.

    3. Avoid housing. (see #1)

    I make gold from all of the listed activities - to a greater or lesser extent - except Begging.

    There are other activities such as Daily Writs, Master Writs, Crafting , Harvesting, Pledges, Dolmens, Treasure Chests and Treasure Maps that ultimately all bring in a steady influx of gold.

    "Flipping."

    Which is a pretty good way to make some cash.

    Personally, I go more for selling mats, which isn't exactly the same market as selling loot. Though, I'll toss up the occasional neat bauble I find and don't want, or motif pages I don't need.

    I used to have a thriving glyph business, I would buy runes from zone chat, in bulk, then make loads of high class glyphs and sell them in stores. I was making up to 300k net a day from stores, but eventually the irl gold farmers/scammers with multiple dummy accounts and guilds caught wind, muscled me out of business and now it isn't worth doing any more. Well as a business. i still sell my surplus runes as glyphs.
    Still I made millions within a few months, I know all motifs apart from buoyant, and that was my long term goal, to learn all motifs and make money as a master crafter.
