I am in a money crisis.

Cody

So I have recently bought a stack of potions. I used up all of these potions, and have no gold to buy a new stack, and am sucking in PvP due to it(my build lacks good self heal abilities)

A stack costs about 10-14K. I currently have 2K. the only way I make consistent gold is PvP "Rewards for the worthy's" which does not supply me with the necessary funds fast enough to keep stocked on potions(even if I sell the items in the reward boxes)

so what is a fast and easy way to make 10-14K so I can stay stocked up on potions? I don't normally go for "get rich quick schemes" but I really need a better way of making money:/ being a loyal pact PvPer is taking it's toll on me it seems.

Potions do not magically appear into guild stores, they are crafted with water and flowers. Go harvest and do some alchemy.

Also, less damage taken = fewer potions needed.

if only I was an alchemist.

bah, should have leveled it.

less damage=more potions is true, but one cant simply avoid all damage forever

If you can make VR5 foods, those are also a good way to earn cash. Ingredients are easy to come by, with a few exceptions. If you don't have to buy anything except grocer items, it's a cash cow.
If you have a good inventory of runes, glyphs are another reliable money earner.

I suppose I can hoard and sell runes and glyphs then sell them all.

Grind crabs, sounds silly but I can make about 5k-6k in less than an hour doing it.

Well go harvest tons and tons of mats, and sell them (price them to sell), especially if your guild has a store.

I leveled Alchemy on a character from 5 to 50 in one evening. It helped that I had been farming alchemy nodes and had some stuff to grind on. Since most mushrooms, other than Namira's Rot are not useful in the potions that most people want, those are relatively cheap in the stores. They are also easy to find as they grow at the base of trees. If you need to, buy them. The only water that is really scarce is Filtered, so either pay through the nose for that, or stock up on L3 water when grinding up the levels.

But, if you turn on Keen Eye for Alchemy, and run some VR Instances of Zones, you can fill up your bags with Alchemy Ingredients in a short period of time. Some of those ingredients can be used to make Tri-Pots. The rest you can sell or grind up the skill with.

Wander around your VR1 zone and blast mobs. Loot and sell everything. If you can handle the higher mob density in Craglorn or the public dungeons, then go there.

If you can spare 90 minutes or so, complete all of the quests in Bruma, Cheydinhal and Cropsford - all easily accessible by EP players. All of the loot, gold from mobs and quest gold will total 10K+. You will have some repair bills to lower that total, though.

You can level alchemy very quickly. Waters are easy to get just traveling. Mats that don't get used sell cheaply. Just crank them out and sell to NPC. Only takes a few hours.

Gather plants (alchemy reagents) and sell them on Guild Trader. Some of them go for 200 gold each.

Yep.. the same ones used in making your potions

Hollow City and Craglorn are good places to gather.

Farming all kinds of harvesting nodes in Upper Craglorn is also a pretty good earner. You can refine the raw goods you farm and sell the results. The upgrading materials sell pretty well and a stack of refined material can also fetch you about 3 times more selling it to another player instead of vendoring it.
Next to that you have a small chance of finding some nirncrux, which can still fetch quite a nice sum. (I personally sold 2 for 12k each today)
