Finally joined a trading guild recently and started to make some gold so sitting at 134,000

Still learning what sells and for what price, hopefully get that dialed in and make a lot more in the future...

I once spared 3 milion so I could buy the aetherial cypher, and finally know all the provisioning recipes. I am now sparing again.

14mil ATM, not a big fan in housing, didn’t really spent much gold.

It's not about how much money you hoard. It's about your turnover. I usually have low amount of money, but I purchase things for myself constantly. Things like completing house collection, buying equips, runeboxes, motifs. Hoarding money is not good for economy, money must flow

That's me, paying for 6k a week; is very hard to come by.




Now what if and just imagine. If I do this for say, at least 6 months; of me going fishing. Getting myself a stack of 200 perfect Roe. How much gold would I make, if I sold All 200 Stack of Perfect Roe?

Every valuable rare thing I get, I can't bring myself to sell it.

Had at least 12 million more before I decided to buy all the manors for the title. Seems like every time I get gold I’m spending it on housing now, so it seems to be working as intended.

By the way -- it's really, really easy to make a few hundred gold at a time from each slot you have in a trading guild. Most people who are thinking carefully about trading sell more expensive items, so there's not a lot of competition if you identify a low-priced profitable opportunity.

Did you change your account name? Because CWC was only being hinted at for the last 6 or 9 months, the DLC dropped about 3 months ago. So, using the earliest feasible date for account creation that would be more than 3 million a day in profits. Considering average sale is like 2K, that is 1500 sales a day, or being in 5 guild kiosks you have 300 sales a day. Using up 30 slots, your turning over your inventory 10 times a day, times 5 guilds....

Something does not sound right.

I started in October 2015

In October 2016 (One Tamriel) I had 5M in cash, bank fully upgraded to 240, bag fully upgraded and riding trained 60/60/60 on 8 characters.

In October 2017 (before CWC) I had 28.7M and 14 characters with maxed bag and riding.I bought all missing motifs over a few hours in a day for 3.7M gold and 2.3M AP. I also made a few forays into the guild stores for furniture blueprints, cheap ones but a lot of them for about 3M after that.

Right now I have 30.6M, and I only buy refined materials in bulk from time to time to keep my 10 crafters going. 5/10 leveled characters are dedicated crafters for the time being since I didn't have time to get enough skill points on them for anything else - the ones you get by leveling suffice for the main passives needed to do top tier writs.

And all that was mostly done without farming stuff obsessively, just for myself, then selling surplus motifs, recipes and BoE gear on guild stores, questing, PvP-ing, doing trials etc. I never sell very expensive items, but rather multiple cheap ones. I replenish the guild stores frequently and sell everything that has a MM average of several hundred gold or more. Every item I get is either sold to NPC, deconstructed or sold on guild stores.

The only time I did farm dungeons extensively was when they put motifs in SotH ones and I mostly stopped when I had completed them from own drops; that was one of the periods I've made the most money, selling the duplicates. That's how I generally do things: farm for myself, sell the surplus and buy the last few pages when I get bored. The only exception was Buoyant Armiger, of which I found only 3 pages and bought the rest in the big sweep in October. I didn't have time to farm the new HotR dungeons though, since I've been busy with developing my Stamina Warden. One of the leanest periods was when I farmed vMA - due to the lack of transferable loot intake I had to sell potions and glyphs to meet guild quotas.

Overall I consider making gold in this game quite straight forward. Even selling the trash you get from mobs will net you 10K+ per day.

@Asardes I am shamed to say I only have one crafter leveled, doesn't know all the motifs. After the first 6 months I have almost exclusive played PvP (spend untold AP on monster sets)

So now I'm getting another crafter to lvl 50 in those areas...

Essentially I'm starting PvE (non set farming)...for the first time...

For those that have 2 million or more, as someone who is always broke, what's some secrets your willing to share?

for me, it's a matter of doing daily crafting writs as faithfully as possible and on as many alts as possible - at character level 50 for 14 alts, that adds up to over 40k daily, even if they're the lowest level writs. Not spending money on housing is another thing. I'll eventually get around to it, but i'm still too busy doing cadwell's silver, which BTW is another way to get gold, because being able to zip thru quests that i've done multiple times before is also rather lucrative. First, I can click thru the dialog quickly, and also, being a stronger character than I was 1st time thru the zones, battles go much more quickly even on the delve & quest bosses. WB's are another story...i don't bother with them until I can hook up on a group that's running them in a zone...

there may be other things as well, but that's what comes to mind ATM...

I don't know how you make money doing cadwells. Some of my quest rewards are 82g. Pretty awful. I don't belong to trade guilds so I sell everything that is white that has a value. Zero value items and green through purple are broken down for mats.

Some of them are, that's true...but those are generally likely to be non-essential-to-cadwell side quests. The quests that are required for cadwell are often going to be the more alliance story-related quests, and therefore usually give hundreds, sometimes between 300-400 gold each. That, along with the aspect of being able to speed through these quests due to familiarity, causes the gold to add up, for me at least.

Another thing is that you don't need to belong to a trade guild, to be able to utilize guild vending. There are plenty of non-trade guilds, that do participate in guild vendors, it's just not the main focus of the guild. For instance, I'm in UESP, a guild that is associated with the www.uesp.net website that contains voluminous info about all things ES, from Arena all the way through ESO. if you're interested, look us up in-game. My game handle is the same as my handle here, I'd be glad to invite you.

People really need to discover crafting writs. I basically have 3 levels of wealth. When I am north of 15million, I get pretty lazy and tend to stop doing writs and am lazy with my trader. When I am below 10 million, I ramp up my number of toons doing crafting writs, and start listing all the BOE crap I have accumulated . Normally I sit around 12.5 million and do writs on 5-6 toons. I am not frugal. I spend craploads of gold (see my house). I keep 13 characters geared in gold armor (most have multiple sets) and have stacks of all the gold crafting mats. I do not farm raw mats and have never purchased a gold mat since launch (sold and gave away thousands).

All of my characters (even my level 4 DC toon I havent touched in years) have max bags horses and crafting lines. It really isnt that hard. Decon everything you find on your main, then start passing all the gear you find through your bank and have your alts decon them. Also, you can create an alt, spend your first 3 skill points in the hirelings for Cloth, woodwork, and blacksmith, and mats will start piling up. I have like 10,000 purple mats.

Writs give you everything you need to play this game: Gold, Gold Mats, Flowers, Soul Gems, Repair Kits. You also get master writs that can be very valuable, and a lot of intricate items to level your next crafter. It tends to snowball pretty fast once you got a few leveled. Skill points are the real issue, but any level 50 character can be "parked" to just do writs, and will have enough points. Now that we dont need to do them in craglorn, I can get through writs on 6 toons in about the time it takes to watch a 20 minute sitcom. In other words, with a little work at the beginning, 20 minutes a day is all you need to not be broke.

@Hurtfan

Look at the sales history for the guild to get a good idea of what is selling.

Although you will find that Crafting Mats are your sure fire source of sales, followed by preferred set items, recipes and motifs. But I have listed odd things just for giggles and they move, so there is that.

5 millions in gold and my crafting bag is full of goodies around 6 millions worth of mats.

Started last April, not interested in housing yet, maybe will be more interesting after the storage chests. Not interested in motifs yet but almost have a crafter with all traits. Still need to research like 10 more Nirn parts. All my DDs got golden weapons but only some pieces of armors are golden, purple do just fine. I lack of time now so no time to farm golden or even purple trial jewellery.

I barely farmed anything hardcore apart from normal dungeons. Picked up nodes along the way of questing, went around sometimes in Craglorn while I was waiting for a PUG trial group to be full. Also did some fishing time to time but not very long as fishing is too boring. Had some lucky drops in Delves, Dolmens etc. Actually it is so easy to make money in this game I'm really surprised.

AP can be converted to gold quite easily if you buy gold jewels from BoE sets from the khajiit week-end vendor if the set is good, buy Akaviri and Militant Ordinator motifs (and maybe other stuff that I don't remember) then sell those for gold on guild stores. Also you can buy sets from IC and alchemy satchels for Tel Var and sell those for gold as well. If you PvP you must get RotW mails constantly: some of the set pieces you can sell as well, and most sets come in alliance motifs, and you can simply decon the useless one and recover the style item and sell that instead: they go fo 500-800 gold a piece on guild stores. You probably make 2-3M AP per week if you do little else but PvP and considering a 10:1 AP to gold conversion ratio from those items you will still get 2-300K per week. So being a PvP player doesn't mean you should be lacking gold

if the clue is that his name includes "ClockworkCity" from just some months ago, that's not exactly damning. we visited Clockwork City when the DLC dropped over 15 years ago.

I feel poor as ***, I've played since beta and have NEVER had more than 150k ever. Then again I sell everything to vendors since I have never been in a guild so have lot hundreds of thousands there.

That's the problem. These people with millions have their hands dipped in some really good Traders, so it's incredibly easy for them to sell anything they put up what with the amount of traffic the Traders see. I know some people in the Guilds hiring the Rawl'kha Traders have been making quite a pretty penny off me over the last year with all the Glyphs, Mats etc I've been buying from them.

Oh. I just realized I chose the wrong poll option..

Thanks for the info. I didn't realize there are sales histories for guilds, that would make it easier. Someone mentioned to me yesterday to check Mournhold traders too? Which I have and they do seem very similar in how they price things but a little more tedious since I couldn't find a lot of the items I have for sale.

Asardes

Some of the things I do also save me gold: I'm self sufficient when it comes to tempers since I get lots of them from writs and refining survey dropped materials and I never fully upgrade a set until I have sufficient proof it's really good. For example Hunding, IA, VO, Bone Pirate, Amberplasm are sets that I've thoroughly tested before I upgraded them to gold. I don't think I've broken down more than 5 gear pieces I had upgraded since I've started playing.

@Waffennacht

Incorrect.

I bet I have at least 100-150 gold pvp items. Full gold impen sets and LOTS of weapons of lich, BSW, 7th legion, black rose, desert rose, marksmen, shacklebreaker, SPC, Kags, eternal hunt, spinners, amber plasm, rattlecage, ravager, Wizard's Riposte, werewolf hide, every possible pvp monster set, etc., and I am sure I am missing some in there. You name it, and I have tried it. I level my alliance rank to get caltrops, prox det, warhorn, vigor, etc on every toon I create, and I do not step into cyro without full gold gear. I play my mSorc and mDK fairly regularly, at least one night of PVP a week.

Edit: I once spent 1.2 million on Desert Rose for my mDK, and the PTS notes nerfed the set out of existence a week later. Happy, I was not.

I used to be always broke, played with some one else most of the time farming nodes. In the end I was always watching how he nacked everything away from me in plain sights ( And he always said lets make some money and farm nodes together... guess again)... But since I don't play with him any more and got into a few guild money is coming slowly in, not at high rates but acceptable for me. I see people sometimes making money like 600k+ a day while my top day ever was just 130k.

Moral of the story, It CAN be difficult to make money, you just need to just know the way how to do it (No da wae) <-- Cause it can :P

I used jut to be horrible at making gold but became slightly better in it, and now I am now around 1.4 mill saving up for the Serenity Falls Estate, and for my feelings it will be a long way but worth every coin make.

Still lot to learn about making money but it's going the right way I think
