Does anyone have any tips on getting lots of gold? Other than crafting? Or is that just about it...or is there really even a need for gold if you level modestly?
to be honest i've made a fair bit just wandering around and selling trash to merchants, enough to easily buy first tier horse if i didn't already have the imperial one, but like anything if you put more effort into it and farm, the more you can make
Im level 17 have a good 2 sets of armor to pve with and pvp and have like 13k...haha and I also have imperial so I got the horse...but dang! Cant help but feel like im behind somewhat ya know?
You'll get it gradually. There isn't really any need for tons of gold in this game, as you will likely only spend it on bags/bank/mount. Nothing else requires much.
That said, if you want a big payday, you can easily get over 30k by selling the daedric motif to another player.
Don't repair your gear, replace it. That will help you keep the gold you have.
Fastest way that I know of, without hitting the market, is to farm a public group dungeon and vender the drops.
