Making Gold

Brightxdawn · June 2015

I am at level 27 and so far have saved 15k. It seems so long to make that kind of gold. Is there way faster ways of making gold? How do you make yours?

BlueViolet · June 2015

I find stealing to be very lucrative. I only bother with items that are green and above. A run around town for an hour emptying containers and such, then selling, rinse and repeat, can yield thousands of gold.
There may be quicker ways, but that's what works for me.

Nice. I will try that.

Burglary is rather lucrative, and as long as one is careful not to get caught, steady income. Thousands of gold is an accurate assessment, depending on luck...

Since the game doesn't have much in the way of endgame gold sinks but the bids for the guild kiosk... normal players tend to run out of things to spend gold on quickly enough by the time they hit the double veteran level digits... once backpack, horse and bank are maxed... there's just the occasional guild vendor shopping, but unless you are a tripot addict, that is not a steady drain, so gold will start piling up...

Auction farming... en... yes, it is possible, though a bit of speculation... all depends on the market I guess. Since I personally tend to browse a bit before buying something, I expect high prices usually get undercut... but hey, if it works for you, enjoy.

I make my gold by selling recipes and mats through trading guilds.

Just gather mats and recipes like crazy. Blue and purple recipes sell nicely, but low level greens are selling well again now that everyone is trying to level provisioning on their alts to improve chances of getting fragments through crafting writs.

Food ingredients, runes, flowers used in health pots, and higher level water sells nicely most of the time, as do tannins and resins. I collect everything of quality as I quest and then sell it with trading guilds.

And of course -- fishing for Perfect Roe.

I get a lot of my gold from my guild store. We don't have a merchant this week, but it should pick up nicely next week

I legit thought this was a thread about the medieval practice of Alchemy.

At this lvl all there is to do i fishing, for the new prov - mats and selling them till they are nothing worth anymore. The game dont give you any good way to get money, if you are not maxed and are doing this " funny " dailies with a guild, in the right armor and have the right set up.

No freedom there

Do you sell the items in zone or in guild stores? Because the guild stores have a max of 30 items it isnt effective to make money of many small profit transactions. The guild store cut is also a waste ofc.

If you're on PC Its really useful to install Master Merchant add-on to see how much items are worth.

With added bag space (it hurt$ at first, not gonna lie) you can ultimately collect more in one run than you can now.

If you're not researching it or using it, sell it. You can vendor your items faster than you can usually sell at guild store, and the money will start to come in faster as your level goes up.

(Part of this is because your gear will improve, your skill will improve, and you will spend less $ on repairs as you level)

You can also collect every provisioning ingredient you can find. They stack to 200 and you can make whatever out of the ingredients.

You can then vendor the finished product for free gold. Max the passives for more servings per creation attempt, and your gold goes up more.

After upping riding skills an bankspace there's no other goldsinks, so after playing a while u'll be sitting on piles of gold
Also join trading guilds, and get crafting skillines lvl so u get the hireling mails, those sales stack up

Classic and topical...

Didn't SKYRIM have a transmute spell to turn metals to gold?

Very useful for leveling Alteration. "Borrow" a couple hundred metal ores, equip the spell and spam it while you frolic through the Skyrim countryside in search of adventures

Thats an average of 41k per item you sell, confirming the fact that small profit transactions are not viable to make money through the guild stores.

I do quests and make around 1000 gold a day. If I did this over 7 days I could make as much as 7000 gold a week, which is nothing to sneeze at.

At higher levels an hour of questing will bring in roughly 10K after repair bills. That's about how much I expect to make just playing the game with either of my VR9s. The farther you get in the game the easier it is to make money without even really trying.

Find a spot with a lot of skeevers, and kill them till your hands get tired of killing them. Good mats, plus good loot to sell.
