    The best way to make gold is to learn market prices, buy cheap and up sell.

    There are people that raid the online communities (on PS4). They buy things like dreugh wax and rosin for 6k and tempering alloys for 11k. It's just under the market value of 8k for wax and rosin and 15k for the tempers. When you factor in the listing fee, guild tax, and guild membership, the profit margin is tiny. Multiply that by 100s and 100s and you've got yourself a business. One that takes money to make money.

    I, on the other hand, try to find a way to use crafting to make money. I sell blue food for profit. It takes 1 hour to max out crafting to 50. It costs, at most, 500 gold for each of the level 160 blue max health/max magicka recipes. The raw ingredients cost at most 10 gold each (or 2000 for a stack of 200).

    Other options include: selling enchantments, nirnhoned armor, set armor, commonly used potions.

    Basic Ways

    Stealing items is a guaranteed 25K Daily if you do it right.

    Provisioning, turn ingredients to food and sell them to NPC can be pretty solid if not dull.

    Harvesting Raw Materials such as Columbine, CP 160 Mats, etc. This is a sure sale in any trader.

    Advanced Ways

    Browsing all guild traders making sure you have Master Merchant, Awesome Guild Store and a large trading guild to draw prices from. On the buy interface of the guild trader, click Deal Selector (The very bottom slider) and put from Blue to Yellow. Buy all thing that are cheap and you can easily resell, it is a gamble and time consuming.

    Do content such as Trials, Dungeons, Dolmens, and everything that can yield a purple set item / jewellry CP 160. Sell those. It is time consuming and RNG but you might end up with a Warlock Ring worth 260,000 Gold.

    Open PVP boxes from desired sets (Morag Tong, etc) and sell the contents. You can buy those boxes in the PVP towns in Cyrodiil. It is also a gamble and needs AP (Alliance Points, pvp currency).

    Do Thieves Guild quests, you can do them on all of your characters. Pickpocket, murder, loot, rinse and repeat. If you use the Blade of Woe with its passives you can pretty much get away with murder.

    I use to buy nirnhoned items, research them and sell them at 10-13K a piece. Made about 200K a week doing that. I also farm mats and sell the improvements for a pretty penny. But if you need gold now then go pick safe boxes and take the 100g items and fence it, a buddy of my does that as his primary way of making money and gets 20K a day doing it. Perfect roe and ambrosia is also a great way.

    Level up your Trafficker traits and Light Fingers. And the Haggle from Thieves guild. If not enough, make another toon and use it for stealing and fill the Fence quota. This should build up fast money.

    If you're on console then do whatever it takes to get into the at least one top trade guild (140+ players online during prime time and always in wayrest, elden root, or mournhold), then flip items from small guild traders. It's well worth paying 5,000 to even 20,000 a week in fees for the gold return.

    Yep. Columbine sells for 1k each on traders. Other flowers can sell for about 200-300 gold each (about 20-30k a stack).

    Similarly, monster teeth sell for about 1k each. You can farm them in the temple district in IC. If you want to try your luck, they open a chest that can give Agility Robust rings that sell for upwards to 200k.

    I prefer the steady income.

    offer to scale dungeons for people outside the undaunted camp on a lower level toon you keep at a low level specifically for that :)

    ppl will pay 10k at 2am when the new daily drops just to scale it and then three man it without you for the key.

    buy hakkeijo with tel var and sell in traders

    if, like me, you have 105849135810 ginko and millet, press x for three hours and sell to trash vendor.

    farm tigers and refine for dreugh wax

    offer to craft armor for ppl and kindly request a tip.

    when the new dlc drops, if you're a dungeon master, help run newbies through hard dungeons for a sum per run (split evenly from the other three) and farm until each of them get the helmet they are looking for.

    i have success selling stuff i think is pointless....for instance I sold all my rekuta (like 80) to some dude for like 60k. doesnt matter to me lol.

    sell kutas, temps, dw's, rosins, and other rare things 10% under market price and just flip em like crazy.

    let your surveys stack up (from doing writs) and do them all at once. refine 7000 ancestor silk. profit.

    Let's hear some more ideas, I like this thread!
    Message me if you want to do trials/dungeons, or need a trading guild! Flawless conqueror magsorc with a bad sense of armor fashion.
