Breaking poverty?

altemriel

farm public dungeons, all the gear that drops there is bound on equip - so tradable. sell the gear.

if you are on pc, get master merchant addon and awesome guild store addon, that will help you to know what is the reasonable price for to sell stuff.

In no specific order of importance:

# 1: Dont buy stuff. If u want an item, check its price, check where to get it from, go there, farm for it until u either have the item or the gold needed.

It's almost always more efficient to buy gear from other players than to farm it.

For example, let's say you need an infused Necropotence lightning staff.

Let's assume that people are selling it for 200k.

You can farm up 200k in about 2-3 hours.

On the other hand, farming the staff yourself would take 10-20 hours. You could easily make 1 million+ gold in that amount of time if you farmed raw mats instead.

I started Morrowind with all previous motifs, 100 patterns, 0 houses and about 800k.

As of now I have 17m in bank, all motifs up to date, 1209 patterns,
3 manors, 2 large houses (all 5 bought with pure gold, and decorated from scratch)

As other have mentioned here, farming a popular set can be rewarding.
I earned a couple of my first 6-figure sales from Elegance set when Overload was the 'it' burst skill for Sorcs at the time. It was in such a demand that even an Elegance dagger in Infused was sold at around 100k gold. Total sales from Elegance at the time was around 700k and it was glorious.

The_Protagonist

Awesome ideas from the community! Bookmarked.

The most gold I ever had was 2 million, that I threw away at motifs, I was in good trading guilds at that time, however due to postings on my job I was away for a while and lost those guilds.

Still I was able to get 0.5 million selling in a regular guild and doing dailies. If you are not in a guild, doing dailies on alts is a sure way (not the fastest) of getting gold, having DLCs is a plus, as almost every DLC has dailies.

I would like to thank the community for being friendly enough to share their way of making gold.

When you hit end game you don't even need to farm. You pick up high price items on the way and get unduanted plunder which ads up fast. I hover around 1.5 to 2 million without farming anything. Sometimes I might sell some gold mats from writs but that's about it.

DPShiro

Seriously though, getting gold in this game is really easy.
Farm mats, do writs, farm gear etc gets you enough gold to do anything

Tel Var farming can net you 100K to 200K gold per hour, at PC EU prices, but I'd only recommend it if you like IC anyway. You need to turn all the districts, then solo the bosses while carrying 10K Tel Var seed money. This yields about 13.7K Tel Var, per boss. I do them in about 5 minutes each, with my PvP build, but saw a guy with a full PvE DPS rotation do one in 1 1/2 minutes. At that rate he would probably be faster than the respawns.

There are a lot of ifs and buts about this. There is competition. If a player of your own faction turns up, you share the stones, although you do the bosses faster. With more than two players, the rewards decline rapidly. Then there's PvP. You have to be fairly good at it, so you can defend yourself from at least individual gankers. The whole thing is very temperamental, but if you play in IC a lot, you make hay when the sun shines, e.g. when there's a lull in PvP. It helps, if you play in the small hours and/or pick one of the empty campaigns.

You buy whatever you can sell at a decent price in a guild store with your Tel Var. Currently, on PC EU, that's Hakeijo and Apothecary Parcels. To sell quickly, having a guild trader in a prominent location helps tremendously. On PC EU that's Craglorn. Materials sell well everywhere, to be honest, but Craglorn helps turn around everything else much faster. The big towns, Mournhold, Elden Root, and Wayrest, are also good, as well as, possibly Rawl Ka. Every other location sucks, by comparison.

This method is not for new players. PvP is not easy, IC bosses are best farmed with full CP, and the guilds in Craglorn have minimum weekly sales requirements of 50K to 100K. If you don't have high-value stuff to sell, week in, week out, you tend to lose membership.

I only sell in stacks of 20 or so; many folks just need "a few more" or something to finish their armor/whatever.

I keep rotating what I sell, one week Spider Eggs are popular, the next everyone's buying my megalthin (however ya spell that).

I sell refined only - partly 'cause I like to get the tempers and such refining it myself, partly because I decon everything to work up all my characters craftings, so I end up with quite a bit of refined stuff.

Keep all your "selling" slots full - in my case I go browsing through my crafting bags and sell a couple hundred of whatever I have the most of. So most days I add a few things to my various guilds (even if that guild doesn't have a trader that week, usually a few things have sold to fellow guildies).

This has moved me from usually only having 3-10k on hand to usually having in the 30's-40's - and I'm really not in the greatest trade guilds, and I am NOT careful about tracking what sells best.

The more organized you are about it, likely the better you will do. but have fun with it.

On PC it seems easy to earn with all the add ons available, when compared to console.

Does not mean to say you can't do it on the console, it can take a little more work to get reasonable prices. I find it a pain having to search at least all the guild traders where I currently am, to find something I have to sell.

I set prices that seem logical to me and cheap enough to buy but not cheap to make me feel ripped off. Recipes I sell provision recipes starting at 29g that is 20 more than at merchant, not a huge amount but lots of them sell quickly. Had a few blues and priced them differently. Recipes for furniture start about 109, 100 more than merchant but then I found you can charge more for rugs and anything lighting or fire based.

Sold a few at 14k plus of purple furniture stuff.

Whilst a guild is not essential as you can shout out a trade, I found a guild is best to make sure you are not listing things at too low a rate.

Best advice, price higher than what you think. If it sells, then great, if not list again slightly lower. Easier to lower prices than put them up. I put stuff up for what I'm happy to get, yes one of the 14k items apparently sells well at much higher prices. It is all part of learning the market. On pc that part is made easier via add ons.

Just don't buy stuff, certainly through the main storyline as you pick up more than you will need and to be fair, you could go around naked and still get through content. I found that I had level 3 stuff on when I was level 30 so the items were providing no real benefit. This game is pretty forgiving as you level up. Changing gear when you find it, helps boost your levelling speed. I'm not interested in speeding through, I often do a few quests then spend some time just randomly running round finding wayshrines and prospecting.

Just running round doing random stuff with the odd bit of theft can bring in 5k at least in less than an hour. That is before selling the recipes you get from theft.

Dolmens when you hear them kick off near you can net you something to sell as well.

There are so many ways to get gold in this game it should be easy. There are also so many ways you can spend gold as well, so what you need to do is stop spending on yourself. Well at least until you have enough gold to buy the stuff you want that you have been unable to gain via other methods. Buy low sell high is good in theory, as long as you really know the market and what people are wanting.

200 ancestor silk = 15,000 gold. You should focus leveling your crafting professions.

100mil in motifs? You must farm 18 hours a day.

Not that long about 10 hours tops a day, but recently have stopped farming as much prob around 2-4 hours a day now.

@Cpt_Teemo How do you get the BA motifs? Are they a drop from pickpocketing and assassinating ppl in Vvardenfell?

Only comes from opening chests in vvarden

RABIDxWOLVERINE

@Cpt_Teemo Thanks! Ive been wondering how to get these. Do you know if chests are located in the same places on xbox as PC? I just found a pc map with locations but am not sure if it will be accurate for the consoles.

How in the gods of tamerial do you make gold in this game.

- Increase inventory size
- buy traveling merchant
- download and use tamriel trade center
- pick up any resource you find
- destroy mobs upon mobs of enemies
- fill up inventory
- launch traveling merchant
- sell it all except stuff to decon or sell
- repeat

You'll make a lot of gold that way.

I_killed_Vivec

I noticed a couple of days ago that I have over 20K alkahest. Even selling at a vendor for 3g each that's over 60K gold.

Just from killing stuff. No farming, just killing

Yup that's how it happens sometimes - I also make lower lvl food and sell to the NPC's - sure its 1 or 2 gold a piece but when you selling like 500 of them (cause you have the passive that makes 4 serving of each food) it s a bit of change in your pocket. Like you know fish that i have tons of from looking for perfect roe. It sits in the craft bag and the npc's won't give me anything for it - lol

How in the gods of tamerial do you make gold in this game. Ive been sitting at about 10k for as long as I can remember. I first tried selling things I thought were "cheap" on the guild traders. That didn't really work out because I didn't actually know what was a reasonable price and everything was super expensive. I then tried selling mats and that was a huge waste of time. Took forever to actually get stacks of the mats and then I would only get like 3k for each stack, which btw took forever to actually find buyers. I've tried doing telvar stone grinding but it seemed eh. So I don't know what to do. It would really be nice to be able to buy things.

You should be able to make well over 10k just by selling the items you get from questing and running dungeons to a vendor. So I would stop deconstructing everything (unless you need the materials for something) and just sell it all to a NPC.

A couple thousand here, couple thousand there... it really adds up after awhile.

Now when it comes to making the big money (millions) you'll probably have to get into a good trading guild that has prime real estate (so I hope you're not a casual player or object to paying dues) Otherwise it'll probably take you awhile amass that kind of wealth. But even then it's not impossible. Just takes time.

It is actually easier to do this without an auction house. Lots of people just put their items for sale without even knowing their prices because of it.

Runefang

Yesterday I bought a ring of Necropotence for 143 gold. Sold for 25k.

So yeah, pretty easy to make gold.

Aurielle

Farm all three Rivenspire dolmens in a loop for purple Necropotence jewelry, sell for 30-40k a piece in guild stores. If you pop an XP pot, you can farm CP at the same time and kill two birds with one stone. You can also do the Kvatch Arena daily for Order of the Hour motif drops. They're rare, but they still net a fair bit of gold. I once got 50k for the chest piece.

RABIDxWOLVERINE

What sets are the most valuable at this time?

Hallothiel

How I wish there was an add-on for console as I find it hard to work out what actually sells / what price - due to having limited play time I am loathe to waste it going through the laborious task of checking prices at guild stores. I don't know about pcs but looking for items in guild stores on ps4 is tedious in the extreme & very user unfriendly.

Buy Kuta for 6 gold, sell for 3k. Made profit on the Elegant lining too.

You can check it by first installing Master Merchant and then you go to either Craglorn guild traders area or any of the main trading hubs and you check prices of items there. These stores sell the best variety of items in best prices and you can quickly find out what sets are the most valuable at this time by simply checking the addon statistics.
