    If you want gold, grinding mobs is a terrible idea.
    Try to sell high valueable items like tempers or hard to get set items like from the mol trial.

    Both of those are very unreliable.

    The whole point behind killing mass mobs for items isn't for selling, its for deconstruction to level your crafting. Right now all the gold zones drop 140-160CP items it makes for a decent way to get those 3/3 hireling and extraction on multiple alts relatively quickly for those willing to put up with it. The best money probably will always be raw material stacks of 200 is worth more than twice that of the refined mats, or you can take the chance of refining them yourself for legendary mats.

    And honestly, if someone did have some special place or strategy for making lots of easy gold would you really expect them to share that on these forums, guaranteeing that it would become so overrun with fortune seekers it would become unusable?

    Head to any public dungeon which still gives you item drops and find a nice circuit. Also Imperial City Sewers work as you gain TV Stones as well.

    Stealing is a good way, just steal until full drop all normal items rinse and repeat till you are maxed out on green and blue items then sell, the best I have done selling 120 items of green and blue is just over 12k in one go.

    Stealing is good you can also try to farm delve bosses for motifs. But people who really make a lot of money dont spend any time farming. They find suckers who are clueless about market prices and buy valuable stuff for a fraction of its worth and then re-sell it often to other suckers who are clueless about market prices. So yes, stealing is good :P

    I will confirm two comments above me, I find stealing best way for now to make money, if you don't want to grind bosses for motifs or other items. you can earn 20k in an hour maybe, if you find a good spot to steal. And it works better with nightblade or invisibility potions, if the place is full of guards. If someone nows better way, feel free to share :D I need gold atm also.
    PS. Selling gold items for improvement of armor or weapons will get you very good amount of gold.

    I find farming Alchemy and other mats to be the best way to make gold... I don't even go out of my way, I just collect as I go about questing... having SPs into making the items easier to see is a MUST so you don't miss them. Selling valuable things found in TG troves is also a good way, if you're lucky enough to find them... I find them all the time while questing.

    Well, you can kill and be moral, you just cant murder. I mean whats morality but a set of rules. And all rules have loopholes.

    I always found lawful evil to be the most interesting kind of characters to play :P

    If you are DC alliance there is a great farming method in Riften. Players farm a circle and gain tons of decon and leather from them. Over the course of 4 hours, i would obtain around 30-60k gold just from the items you sell back to the merchant and around 15-30 Dreugh Wax.

    It's very boring to do but is very profit-able.

    Uh, let's be realistic. The drop rate for Dreugh is like 1-2%. So in 4 hours you farm between 1000-3000 raw leather mats?

    C'mon. A little hyperbolic? Just a little.

    Im just stating what i obtain. I have gotten easily 1 Wax per 100-200 leather (Its all RNG). The farm is also very quick, you can obtain 500-1000 leather per hour, just depends the pace.

    Everyone on DC does this farm on console. There's usually 12 people or more running this circle at all times.

    1 Tip that help's me while unraveling leather, every time you get a elegant lining or wax, exit out and start again. This has greatly increased by chances of getting wax. I know players who will unravel all leather at once and gain very low amounts of Wax. This may be none sense but it does seem to work for me.

    @ContraTempo this thread have already proven you wrong xD

    Best way to earn money:
    Buy cheap raw materials, refine, sell the purple and gold tempers.
    This of course requires dedication and training in terms of social skills, and having your crafting skills levelled up. If you don't want to bother annoying others through zonechat or getting annoyed by greedy sellers & buyers, then there are other options.

    Other options:
    • Farm raw materials and flowers and sell it all.
    • If you have Woodworking, Blacksmithing, Clothing and Alchemy levelled - farm raw materials and flowers, refine & make potions and sell upgrade mats and potions.
    • If you have provisioning levelled - buy many stacks of cheap provisioning ingredients, craft food and vendor it all for profit (not recomended without addons, it's simply too boring a grind)
    • Do daily pledges and help others as much as possible through veteran dungeons - if you do it right, you can get 30k - 70k gold a day easily by having fun, doing content and not grinding. Deconstruct all the purple loot and sell the purple tempers for extra side profit.
    • Steal fast and effective, fence everything except motifs and recipes that are worth laundering and reselling to players

    I will not go into motif, trophy & recipe farming - these things sell well, but the grind for them is too RNG dependant - to the point where you are actually better off questing or just doing daily pledges. Motifs are good to grind the first month of a new DLC, because this game tends to always have a "bug" or "exploit" where people can farm the new motifs like crazy, then suddently ZOS does some magick and fix it... so don't farm motifs, unless shiniest newest motif within the first month of a DLC release.

    Honestly I could earn a living on basically anything content related in the game lol my profit will depend on what i do of course, but there is no content in the game that don't some sort of benefit in terms of economy.

    If your in a trade guild selling mats or rare items (i.e. willpower rings w/arcane trait or agility rings w/stamina trait) will turn a good buck. Otherwise, and honestly probably the most reliable way, quests and writs drop ok cash. Doing my writs once a day grants nearly 4k and only takes about 10 minutes. :)

    Yup, I do. I share all my spots, because guess what? It's not my spot, it's the entire communities.
    Enough of this hiding crap. This is what starts the seperation between the elite and the casual.
    Enough of the selfishness in this game.
    Oh poor baby can't farm a spot because other players are there? Did that mess up your plans to make millions? So sad...

    Nobody and I mean nobody got the CP Cap, made 10 million gold, became EMP, etc....
    without some sort of help. I don't care who you are. Don't be a Scrooge. Share the wealth and knowledge.


    OP,
    go take two hours and farm Vivecs Antlers wayshrine in Stonefalls(Druegh on beach)
    You'll easily acquire 750-1,250 raw hide.

    Craglorn is another great location for acquiring mats quickly.

    -gob- You can always murder the NPC's camped out northwest of Riften and loot their bodies. -gob- Though you will need to avoid towns for awhile. -gob gob-

    Other places be Public dungeons with humanoid mobs as they drop Gold... Plus with that new trait coming out that increases dropped gold this where you want to be.

    I've always found that killing an NPC usually provides better loot than pick pocketing. You'll rack up one hell of a bounty on your head doing it tho lol

    Farm upper craglorn for mats and nirncrux. Doing this for an hour a day gets me a full stack of raw ore and void bloom plus anywhere from 1 to 4 of both nirncrux, depending on the rng.

    Also if your crafting passives are 10/10 and 3/3 for extracting, go farm in Wrothgar. I spend one hour running around Wrothgar and leave with full stack if Ancestor Silk and Ruby Ash wood or whatever it's called and vr15 ore(whatever its called). Then I spend hour in Coldperch Cavern which has Harpys which are super easy to kill, respawn fairly quickly and dropped vr15 leather. One hour in the gets me another full stack.

    3 hours of farming = 6 full stacks, so 1200 raw mats and 1 to 4 potent and fortified nirncrux. 3 of those mats stacks are in high demand and refined sell for a good chunk of gold (the vr15 metal and cloth)

    I play on Xbox but these 3 hours of farming a day net me about 50k.

    It's just a combo of getting drops from killing, finding loots in treasure chests, thieves troves and looting stolen goods, then selling the stolen loots to fences and normal drops to merchants. I'm not aware of a specific "gold zone", but usually Wrothgar and Hew's Bane offers the higher gold and loot drops, especially those that sells 280% more to merchants. The highest single item I found was valued at 1500 gold and found those numerous times. I don't know.. maybe others have found items or treasure worth more.

    1. Grind mobs, sell EVERYTHING!!! If you grind tigers in Riften with a 200 space bag, when it fills you can sell around 10k worth of stuff, while refining scraps.
    2. Farm Maelstrom, and decon the purple items. Doing this I'm sitting on 600 Elegant Lining.
