Which craftable sets sell well?

January1171

I want to use my attunable stations I got from the dragon rise event in my home, but don't need any specific sets. What gear sells well/what set should I attune them to?
Thanks!

Not many to be truthful. The best I ever did with selling craftable gear was creating white jewelry others could buy to learn traits. By far my most popular one was when I was selling Triune jewelry for 25K gold a piece (XBox price 6 months ago). There is a natural gate for it because you need to get alliance points to buy the trait gems.

Maybe give that a try but aside from that don’t waste hundreds of mats making CP160 things because they’ll likely go unsold like my 5 piece Sloads set that I created during the Summerset patch.

People who actually sell crafted gear are not likely to create more competition by telling you. A good way to approach it is to ask yourself what gear would YOU buy.

None of them.

Consider just attuning them to some of the more annoyingly placed crafting stations. Like the ones in Imperial City, for example.

Check around at guild traders, or better yet, search TTC and see what's been put up for sale.

Sharing is caring, okay? Especially when there's no big secret.

People sell most popular sets which can be used in various builds and are simple to use: Hunding, Julianos, Shacklebreaker, maybe smth else. Most used traits are sharpened and nirnhoned for weapons & divines and impenetrable for armor. You can search TTC site for specific set pieces before crafting and get some info about it.

The guild trader system is awful for selling sets because you can't list whole sets or search by set. Put a set up and someone buys 3 pieces of it and the rest sits there. Would attune stations based on -your- characters' and friends' prospective needs, not for attempting profit. Very sad that selling raw mats is worlds more profitable than selling crafted goods in this game. Broken.

I used mine for Pelinal Aptitude's just because I love that set and re-placed my simple crafting stations with bound ones. I plan to sell ordinary stations after that or maybe I will place them in second home if I'll decide to build one more.
Really not much point to expect profit of crafted sets, because almost every big guild have guild hall will ALL sets and I hardly see anybody rising money selling crafted sets... when somebody needs to craft something he couldn't, he just asks in chat and somebody from guild crafts it for the cost of mats.

Rules of selling gear ...

1 - Would you buy it?
2 - Is it hard to obtain?

Those are the two biggest questions. The only non-crafted gear I sell is gear with Impen because the PVP meta is Impen heavy. I keep all my sharpened, divines (small) and infused (big) pieces but aside from a very rare set I have that I made into nirnhoned everything else to me is trash that I won’t buy so I don’t sell it.

The hard to obtain part is the biggest key. I completed Dragon Guard yesterday on my console and got a 0.03% achievement for it but what’s the upside in spending hundreds of mats to make white gear that someone could easily get a week from now when a greater percentage of the players have access to it? Best case you can make a few sales the next week or two but there isn’t any long term need.

Hence ... triune jewelry. As long as ESO is in existence there will be PVE heavy completionists who dread the thought of stepping into Cyrodiil. The 20K AP for a trait gem can be made by me ten times over in one night if I feel so inclined. So it’s a product that is in demand for completionists, and has an infinitely lower volume of people who can both make it and are willing to play PVP.

When ever I need some gold I just play PVP for a few days, and pump out these rings and necklaces. I’ve made a half million in a week before just on those with minimal effort.

Those three mentioned above seem to be the ones that people usually ask me to craft for them. Also Night Mother's Whatsit. (Gaze? I always have to look up the name of the one that's craftable.)

Another idea, besides attuning to set stations which are hard to get to, or which sell well, might be the ones that seem to show up most often in the master crafting writs. That way you can do those master writs at home instead of having to go travel to the stations. This might be especially nice for set stations which are fairly easy to reach but are surrounded by a lot of annoying enemies that you're forced to clear away before you can do the crafting.
