STEAL ALL THE THINGS

phaneub17_ESO · March 2016

The more alts you have stealing, the more gold you get. If you don't want to go too crazy with it, just find spots with a lot of open weapon racks as they are easy pickings and respawn very quickly. When you hit max sell limit, you can decon the rest for skill ups and extra crafting mats.

I used to do crafting material farming in craglorn, then they nerfed nirncrux stuff so I stopped, and didn't make money for ages, then I started farming materials again, then I got bored and decided I wanted to keep the materials instead of sell them.

Now I steal junk all the time, and sell item sets I get from PVP and as rewards for PVE content that I don't want/won't use.

Why steal in Orsinium? And where in Orsinium?

ListerJMC · March 2016

Loot everything, sell everything I don't need, go fishing for perfect roe, do all the quests.

Farm sewers, sell trophies !

Buying out the market, and then jacking up the prices and selling it all.

Sunburnt_Penguin · March 2016

Find a spot that has lots of drawers, nightstands, desks, wardrobes, trunks and chests in a close vicinity: take everything greater than 30g and log back in to reset them. I don't really steal anymore but I used to take the white treasures because they stack and I can still continue to sell them on days where I'm not stealing.

In EP: in Windhelm, the first house on the left just north east of the inner city refuge is the best. In DC & AD: the starting cities' banks are the best.

Volkodav · March 2016

Steal everything in Orsinium you can find.
(that's not my little secret)

Yep. This is how people do it. Add some cross-guild price collusion though networks of affiliated guilds and you have the ESO economy in a nutshell. I wish people that only play this game for the economy would go back to EVE.

Keep_Door · March 2016

Aucti...... Uhm idk

L2Pissue · March 2016

farming IC sewers.
i have also heared that farming Cyrodiil dolmens might be worth it. (lich set)

TheShadowScout · March 2016

Take what you can.
Give nothing back.

On a more serious note, ceah, stealing is a very good way to get rich, if you do it smart and don't get caught. Some farming mobs in dangerous places and selling in guild stores can also get a good profit. Even some rare crafting stuff and treasure chest drops can net you a tidy profit if you prefer to do it without combat...
But since the game has very few endgame gold sinks, a lot of people have a few hundred thousand lying around after a while playing without even trying hard... so its far less of an issue.

I've busted some of these price-fixing games. When nightwood was overpriced, but people were buying it anyway to get writs done, I got the price down by harvesting/sanding/guild-store-selling nightwood non-stop. My price was always 85% of the robber baron's price. At first they tried to buy me out and resell at their jacked-up price, but I always had more. I could meet the demand, and I did. The price-fixers were holding a ton of wood that they could not sell. So their prices came down to meet mine. And then my price dropped another 15%. This kept repeating until a fair price was reached.

goatlyonesub17_ESO · March 2016

My best money-making method is COOKING.

Buy cheap mats (under 5 gold per mat), have the "three extra servings" passive, and make VR10 and VR15 green recipes, and sell the foods to the vendor, who has infinite gold to buy them with. No waiting for real players to come by the guild store, stop dithering, and spend their money.

I've made over 10 million that way. I spent most of it, but I think I still have over 2 million in the bank.

Sunburnt_Penguin · March 2016

@goatlyonesub17_ESO just out of curiosity as I can't get on right now: how much do they go for at a vendor?

I have more ingredients than I know what to do with.

whiteshadow711jppreub18_ESO · March 2016

STEAL...........

starkerealm · March 2016

Selling through the guild kiosks.

LegacyDM · March 2016

Killing players in IC sewers who have lots of stones. Then converting to mats and selling on ah. Or farm trove scamps and molag bal for hakejo and repora.

Thevampirenight · March 2016

Thing of it is, there is many ways of making gold now, one way is to steal and some people murder npcs to farm them for items, that they can sell for lots of gold, another big way is questing quests give random amounts of gold but questing in cyrodill can give up to like 200 to 300 gold per quest, if your not thinking about gold and just quest you can get gold easy, in cyrodill, as well as pve area stealing and murdering is the best way I think. Also selling to other players is another good way of making gold. Provided you get items that people want to buy and you link items in zone chat and putting wts. It would be harder for console players unless you sell in voice chat which I think would be harder because most would keep voice chat off. I don't really sell items because I am not that caring about the gold its easy to get. If you know how to get it.

I can't get on right now either. I'm downloading ESO to my new computer now.

Stacks (100) of green VR10 and VR15 foods or drinks sell for 500 gold each.

Let's say you pick up 100 fish for 200 gold and 100 millet for 500 gold. You paid 700 gold for your mats. You have maxed out chef and brewer perks so you make 4 servings (instead of 1 serving) of Crawdad Quiche per swat at the oven. When you have used up your fish and your millet, you'll have 400 servings of Crawdad Quiche, which you sell to the nearby chef NPC for a total of 2000 gold. Since you spent 700 gold on mats, your profit is 1300 gold. The cooking took you about 6 minutes, if you are, um, really attentive in the use of your R key. Counting the time it took you to run around, buy the mats, and sell to the chef, say 4 minutes (we all buzz out a little while shopping), you've earned 130 gold per minute. You'll earn 100k gold in about 13 hours.

Of course, you can improve on that gain rate if you broaden your shopping to include other pairs of mats that you have a green VR10/VR15 food or drink recipe for, and if you look for especially sweet deals pricewise. I've made 200k gold in a day's playing, but that's maybe 15 hours of doing nothing but cook.

The biggest frustration is how many useful mats are being offered for sale in guild stores "behind the price wall": i.e., for such a high price that you can't make any profit from your work, not even with maxed out provisioning passives. Never buy anything for which the ratio of price to quantity is more than 7.0, and question whether you should buy if that ratio is above 5.0.

Justice system and selling all white/green and most blues to merchants.
