How do YOU make gold?

Title.

I see all of these awesome houses and then the price tag that comes with it. Then seeing the youtube videos of people fully furnishing these things and it's amazing really.

Since returning to eso and seeing my terrible gold count, I've been making sure to do daily writs on a couple toons. It seems to add up slowly but surely.

How do YOU make gold?

Stealing and farming public dungeons with lots of humanoid targets. Also seeking out rare style pages and putting them up for sale at market value.

(Edit)
Oh and I forgot about daily writs. Do those on a bunch of characters and you'll be swimming in gold.

Selling mats is my main source of income. Either by farming or buying at a great rate and making medium-margin on resale...I'm in one of the biggest trader guilds in PS4 NA but I actually make a bit more sales selling in zone.

I can't stress the importance of paying for and being a part of a high end trading guild in this game. It has net me more gold than I know what to do with....and sell crowns. Selling crowns is by far the quickest way to mil.

trading guild

I need to figure out how trading guilds work. I've only ever been exposed to an auction house in wow. Are there any resources you could point me to explaining trader guilds from beginner to advanced?

I used to pan for it, hence my toons name is Panner.

Farming mats is a good way to make money. But very boring. I sold crowns for gold, and only this transaction gave me opportunity to furnish my Moon Sugar Meadow without constantly running out of mats and gold.

I PvP mostly. So I just save AP until a desirable, trade able jewelry set comes on the golden vendor. I buy a bunch of those and horse them for 3 to 6 months. Then I sell them for 150k+.

writs. writs and more writs. Then sell off everything valuable from them at guild traders. Each character i do them on takes about 2 minutes and nets me on average around 12k in gold from the quest reward and the stuff i later sell on my guild traders. Im hovering just over 200 million gold with close to another 100 million in back stock gold mats that im hording for myself.

I do writs, I flip a few items on traders if I spot a crazy low deal somewhere, I sell motifs I don’t need...i just make money from playing, really. Sometimes I might farm imperial city for hakeijo to sell, but that’s dropped a lot in value cos of the pvp event recently

StormeReigns

Steal evrrything that isnt nailed down. And the occasional writs.

caperb

Farm abah's watch motifs. Nets you at least 100k gold an hour, maybe more, but is really *** boring.

Carries.

I am not a collectionist so I just keep stuff I like and sell the rest.

But people especially during events go crazy, try to get everything so very easy sells can be made. There are events every 2 weeks.

I also sell items from Golden and PvP merchs. Like I buy 10 boxes from Deshaan boxes, and if I get Mothers Sorrow sell, or Rivenspire or any famous set.

You need a good trading guild for that of course.

whitecrow

Sell every item I don't need for mats to merchants.

Sell motifs, designs and recipes I already know in guild store. Get in a guild that buys a trader, it doesn't have to be "high end"; as long as it's in a city centre you should be okay.

I used to do writs everyday, I'm sure that helped.

Cirantille

Also I don't gold out every set I have. Jewellery is already pointless.
I am from purple team
Purple: 124 recovery
Gold: 129
Baah. That 5 mag though!!...

1mirg

I sell every weapon that isn't purple along with everything else that i don't need while questing, stealing, and pick-pocketing.

I average around 10k - 20k after a good day and 5k - 10k on a bad one and 1k - 4k on a terrible one.

PopotoSalad

Mostly mat, motif, and pattern selling. I make over 100k on an average day.

I'm in a social guild that does not collect dues so a trader is hit or miss for me each week. When we have a trader I sell any excess blue or higher recipes/plans, motifs/style pages, extra raw materials and intricate gear. When I price the stuff I don't worry about getting top gold for the item and try to price it at the low end or just below it. I work more from the perspective of making up the difference in quantity of sales.

I do my daily writs and any master writs I receive. If the master writ for some reason is one I can't or don't see completing I will sell it in the Guild Store.

Depending upon how much gold I want to make I will steal pretty much any chance I get. If I am out to maximize the day's take I will only keep green or above. I will also pick up the Thieves Guild daily from the Tip Board. Stealing is also a good way to pick up recipes/plans to sell in the guild Trader. One other thing max out your Haggling passive to get the highest sales prices from the Fence.

Lastly I vendor anything I don't need even dungeon and container trash. The stuff might not have much value individually but sell enough over time and it adds up.

By doing the above I can easily bring in 200K/wk while playing all of the other things to do in the game. I know that is not as much gold as many other players make but it will give you enough over a few weeks to buy a decent mid-size house with some gold to spare.

anniversary event is great for stocking up. I have made between 2-5 million each anniversary event selling motifs.

essi2

Selling random stuff, alot of it gear and motifs.

Writs and Questing is also a nice gold source.

Selling skins and dungeon achievements, and selling jewelry from the PvP Golden vendor. It's a living ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I primarily make my gold by flipping items, and selling things from PvP. During the summer I typically make the most gold by selling furnishing plans. Those tend to do really, really well after the expansion and then kind of slow after the first couple months.

If I told you, it wouldn't make gold any more

Initially trawled traders and bought low sold high. Hence I will always HATE the idea of an auction house as I took my 10k Gold to my first million pretty much by doing that.

Then it's finding stuff you can get for free to sell for lots. I did daily writs, and sold alot of Kutas from farming runs

Then the biggest thing is .. SPEND LESS. Craft gear, etc and only use traders for rare stuff etc.

Managed a win on a guild raffle and I farm new stuff to flog like the imperial city siege costume day it launched etc.

Trading is a mega mini game in this game and filled voids for me.

Now I sit on a few mill and don't get the time I log in and PvP. And use the file to buy the BIS stuff as no game time.

The truth is I really don't care much right now, as I have >25 million gold and well-filled craft bags. As for my past and current techniques -- I've used a lot of the ones commonly discussed.

Two that I have not seen discussed all that often, however, are:

• Hireling emails.
• Crafting & selling items on guild stores to be used in crafting research.

Doing carries is a really good way to make gold
