ESO Plus - Not getting my +10% gold!?

istateres

My characters shows the buff for ESO Plus. I completed crafting writs, got the exact same amount of gold 604, I always get at Vet lvl. Shoulfn't I be getting 10% more?? If not, WHEN does the 10% increase apply??

BigM

LOL sure they will say it is a bug.

I believe the +10% only applies to gold dropped as loot, not the gold from quest hand-ins.

@LonePirate has the right of it. I handed in a few random quests and the amount of gold added to my inventory was 10% more than what the quest reward window was showing. In other words it looks like ESO Plus does boost gold gain from quest hand-ins, but it simply doesn't show it in the reward window.

I have a bad suspicion that the 10% increase applies only to gold dropped from mobs and maybe chests. I've never seen confirmation that it applies to quest rewards (though IMO it should). If true, that aspect of the buff is basically useless.

I'm not sure the 10% boost goes towards that. Maybe it is only for mob dropped loot? It would be nice to know though

Is it realy 10% more gold? I tought it was 10% more in progression like xp, cp and such?

LonePirate

The amount of gold paid by the top tier writs on the rewards screen still displays the 604 gold. However, as soon as you accept the reward, the gold in your inventory will increase by 664. This is true for all quest gold rewards.

Whether or not mobs are dropping 10% more gold is anybody's guess as they drop variable amounts anyway. I have not unlocked any chests to determine if the gold in them has been increased 10%.

So the 10% buff is applied after accepting the gold? I'll have to check the math to see it that really happens.

A 10% bonus to XP and gold gain, and crafting research and inspiration

I turned in crafting writs and got 10% more. Actually I got more then 10%, it was 700 and some change. Maybe I got your 10% too

laughing all the way to the bank I see!

I've noticed the overall increase to my total gold, I'm fairly certain it's just a matter of the reward windows being set a specific way, the bonus is applied after the fact.

Hello @ZOS_JessicaFolsom,

Can you confirm the above please? You commented in my post about ESO Plus saying that the 10% Gold increase would apply to all quests but the writs are showing the original amounts. People are indicating that they are however getting 664 gold from completing the Writ. Are quests going to continually display the incorrect reward amounts?

Thank you for your time.

Are you sure that 10% does not just mean more than the free players?

As in 'free' players will get -10%

Here's the actual ZOS comment from a thread I had going.

The 10% increase in gold applies to the following:

[*] Quest turn-in rewards
[*] Treasure chests
[*] Loot off monsters
[*] Lockboxes (Justice System)
[*] Loot off of slain citizens (Justice System)


It does not apply to the following:

• Selling items to merchants (this is what the Ornate Trait is for)
• Buying back items from merchants
• Cyrodiil end-of-campaign rewards
• Gold received from mail

So is a "writ" and quest turn-in?? I'd say so.

Note, today I sware one of my Vets got +10% in the writ reward itself and another didn't (i.e. 604 and 664 gold). I will watch real carefully tomorrow and bring screen shots!

A writ is indeed counted as a "quest turn-in". It's likely they won't change the displayed quest reward for a while though (if at all), as that would involve applying some extra coding functions to alter the displayed text string, whereas it's much easier to apply a modifier just to the amount that actually goes in the bag.

It's working as intended!

Devs need to make a thread to explain this because im not seeing much of difference and 10% is way too tiny for earning just small numbers.

100 = 10
500 = 50
1000 = 100

Thats really small being that gold farming isnt too potential and can be grindy. One thing that isnt well treated for casual play is the game's cash currency earning.

oooh ... if someone posts me gold do I get 10% more !?

What needs to be explained? ESO Plus gives a 10% increase to earned gold, there's not really much more to say.

No.
