Dropping gold prices for respec

juhasman✭✭✭✭Nice gold sink would be buyable cosmetics like furnitures to our houses in update 13. Amount of things that can be added is limitless and costs for the nicest ones could be very high to drain gold from peoples.0 -

White weapons from containers/environment have no value, but weapons looted from dead bodies always have value and can be deconstructed for materials. I suspect you pick up all worthless white items you see, which quickly fills up your bag and forces you to go back to town with very little profit. You should ignore these items in the future (turn off autolooting if it helps) and focus on looting enemies.Morgha_Kul wrote: »Morgha_Kul wrote: »s7732425ub17_ESO wrote: »10k gold to respec your entire character is like no money at all.

Cheap depends on who you are, and where you are in your progression.
My character has about 4k gold, TOTAL. I've been adventuring in Wrothgar for the last 3 months, my gold total has gone DOWN, because nothing is ever worth any gold, it's all 0 value.
SO, with no income, there is not and never will be (at this rate) any way for me to respec.
Some people seem to think gold is easy to come by. My experience of the game says otherwise, and emphatically.
You need to join a trade guild. Break down the armor that's worth 0 gold. Sell the materials to other players not the npcs. Sell the tempers you get from breaking stuff down as well. Hell I sell small stacks of apples for a few hundred gold too.
0 value gear doesn't produce any materials. That's part of the problem. 90% of everything I loot is 0 value, so it produces no gold, no materials and no xp. That means I can't craft anything to sell for gold, because I can't get xp or materials to do so, which means I have to BUY gear to deconstruct, which means again, NO GOLD.
It's very frustrating.
Flowers and raw materials can be sold to other players for a good price.
Stealing is very profitable once you get in the rhythm and learn to avoid getting caught.
Farming public dungeons is a good way to gather raw leather + weapons/armor for sale.
Consumable writs always ask for the same types of items that can be stacked, so prepare them beforehand and just turn them in every day for a nice profit.0 -

I think the problem is WHAT you are looting - stop picking up all the trash from weapon stands and such. That is almost always 0 value junk. If 90 % of what you are looting is 0 value, you are simply looting the wrong stuff.
Loot drops from mob kills, crates, barrels, chests, and harvest nodes will get you the items that are worth money on a guild trader. HARVEST every node you come across and loot every chest, barrel, and crate you see. The money will start flowing.Edited by Bouldercleave on September 13, 2016 3:57PM0 -

Kylric✭✭I'm still newer to the game. After a couple of weeks I learned you could go to the two big ships in Daggerfall and loot (steal). Sometimes you find some nice item's that sell for 40 gold each, and finding some that sell for 100 is not uncommon either. You then take them to the outlaw refuge to fence them off. When I first started, I would sell all the fruit or cooking ingredients, this was before I joined a guild. Once I noticed that I could sell apples and melons for 4+ gold each I started selling on the trader.
Since there is a cap to how much you can sell each day, I made a couple of other alts to get those 5 finger discounts as well. Since you start off with a couple of skill points I put those into trafficker. This gives the ability to launder more items each day.
I'm not saying it's exciting, but you can fill your cap in 20 minutes and I would guess making 3K per run on average. With three alts running it....around 10K.
I've been playing for around 4 months and I don't do this much anymore, unless I am watching a football game on one screen and just goofing off on eso. Now it helps me with adding to my bags for my level 50 cook.
On a side note, if you go this route, leave the weapons and armor on the boat. Those are junk.
There are several ways to make coins, such as what I listed or the ideas of others.
good luck and enjoy1 -

✭I understand the need for gold sinks in game, and I have no issue with the cost of a skill/attribute respec, but 3k gold to respec your champion points is something I could do without. My cp arangement is quite different for pve than it is for pvp. I'm a pvper mainly but right now I'm trying to farm some stuff in pve (vma, amberplasm, etc). Ideally I would like to get the pve farming done for a day and then go pvp, but to do this everyday would cost me 6k gold in respec costs. So to avoid ruining my savings I've had to give up pvp until I get what I need from pve. I don't believe zos had this kind of penalty in mind when they set the respec costs. It wouldn't be so bad if being in a trading guild wasn't such a competetive process; the whole guild trader system really penalises casual sellers. I have a bank full of stuff I could sell but can't commit to regular selling so get kicked from trading guilds. Woe is me

Just sell all white an green junk that drops, I really don't understand how you can go down in gold like that. I got over 2 mil on my chars combined, mostly by just selling junk that drops.

If you go to IC a lot of the junk loot has the trait on it that they sell for more, so about 200g/e. If you got about 100 inventory slots free you'll be rich in no-time!0 -

I wish I had an explanation myself. Almost ALL the white gear I find, whether in chests or looted from defeated foes, is 0 value. It's at the point that I began wondering if there was a bug.
I asked in chat in Mournhold, how do people make money, but no one ever actually answers. All I get is "get a job," "sell your body on the street," and so on.
I'll keep plugging away, but it's really hard to stay motivated when you can't make any real progress (considering the game is so heavily gear driven).Exploring Tamriel since 1994.1 -

That's weird, the only 0 gold gear that drops for me is form trunks etc. Try going to a grinding spot, kill a few mobs and see if anything of worth drops. If you aren't shy of enemy players you can do it in IC too, they usually drop junk of better value there.
If they drop 0g stuff everywhere for you I advice making a bug report to zenimax.0 -

If you spend a lot of time in Wrothgar then harvest reagents and raw materials, just keep building them up, put them in your bank and forget about them. If you acquire 100 of most reagents then you can make a few hundred thousand in no time at all in a guild store. I spend around 1 week in every 4 doing this or whenever I've finished the daily pledge and there's no trials going on and I make a lot of money. Ruby Ash doesn't sell for much but there are loads of it to be found.
I suppose you have to enjoy wandering around and doing this in the first place though. Kill everything in your path too. I can easily make 5-10k in an hour or 2 just from killing mobs and selling the loot at a merchant coupled with the gold dropped.0 -

The only 0 value gear you should ever be getting is from items picked up that are just lying around in the world, and in trunks and other containers. Even then, it should only be 0 value if taking it isn't considered stealing. You should never ever have 0 value gear drop from something you kill, or from a chest (again, trunks and other containers are a different story).Morgha_Kul wrote: »MalakithAlamahdi wrote: »Morgha_Kul wrote: »s7732425ub17_ESO wrote: »10k gold to respec your entire character is like no money at all.

✭✭✭✭✭The cost doesnt' need to go down for the big respect but there has to be a new option to select skill lines to reset instead of morphs and all.
Most of the time, we do not want to reset everything and morphs are usually not helpful cause we chose them for a reason.
The skill line like resetting just one weapon, one armor, or perhaps all racial or all one class skill line makes a lot more sense and is a lot more reasonable in cost cause it should be the same or less than the morph cost.-PC (PTS)/Xbox One: NewBlacksmurf
