What I do is find out what is the hot item at the moment. Like now everyone wants the sun set, sorrow set and plague dr set. I sold a shield yesterday for 150k. Farm the areas where this stuff drops and sell. You can never go wrong with selling temps either.

Great to have you here.
MY advice, invest skill points into Keen Eyes passives and pick anything you see on the ground. Don't refine raw mats, wait untill you have full stacks and sell in guild stores for MM average. If PC - install Master Merchant and Awesome Guild Store addons for convenient trading. Good luck in earning your first milion

Hey! Thanks for your useful tips, sadly i don't have it on PC, currenly using it on the xbox one. Better get myself into a trading guild then?

Ways to make gold:

1. Get in a trading guild, yes. Do some research first, though. There are all types of guilds and some have better traders than others. Some don't have traders at all and are only calling themselves a trade guild to attract members. Find a trader you use all the time, or look for a guild trader in a high population area (Daggerfall, Wayrest, Skywatch, Deshan). Get the guild name and try to find out more about the guild. Ask in zone or research online (many have webpages). Get an invite and start selling.

2. What to sell? Spend some time every day or other day farming nodes (ore and alchemy can be particularly profitable). Once you get the ore, refine if for tempers (particularly gold tempers). If you're on console, I hear they sell for insane amounts (like 18-20k). Other tempers, tanins, etc. sell well too. At your level, I wouldn't save the gold materials. I'd just sell them until I reached level 50.

3. Get your character qualified for crafting writs and run them as much as possible. Crafting writs give "surveys" which are locations with high yield nodes that only you can harvest. You will usually get AT LEAST 100 raw mats from a survey, and that should get you (depending on the RNG gods) at least once gold mat you can sell. You also get money for doing the writs and can earn as much 2k a day just running writs (although at low levels the mats might be hard to come by).

4. Be careful not to oversell but don't undersell too much, either. Scout out prices in your guild. See what people are selling.

5. Set a gold goal. My current gold goal is 10k per character which is actually kind of low. Each character has to bring it 10k gold a day to the bank. Often, they make more than that.

6. Keep your expenses down. Don't respec all the time. Plan out bank space. Don't pay for every cool motif, try to get some yourself.

The truth is the first million is hard to earn. Once you have that, though, it's all smiles.

Nonsense!!! You don't need keen eyes passives if your own eyes are keen enough to spot nodes. Train yourself to identify each node it will be an odd- lonely looking plant, flower or rock. Save those skill points for other truly important skills

Easy start fishing and get as much perfect roe as you can, with the new recipe for xp people will buy roe again. I've already seen it start to go up in anticipation of the new xp potion, hasn't even hit on console but the speculaters are hitting it hard.

This is a big money maker for me. I used to ask the same question as you, OP. But then I started farming for a set I wanted and selling the items I did not want. I made about 400k in about a week, playing only a few hours a night simply farming in Dashaan.

Purple jewelry can EASILY sell for 50K. And thats a low ball offer.

The only problem though is that no one will want the gear if its low level. Its pretty much CP160 or bust. So this is best done when to get to CP160.

Been playing for days and im up to 450k gold and 350ish more in items waiting to be sold in guild stores. Just farm craglorn for a few hours and get atleast 30k then get MM and Awesome guild store addons and buy low sell high.

In case anyone missed it, the OP is not on PC so MM and AGS will not work for him.

nah nah nah m8, OP def should refine those mats - the truth is OP, when you refine you have a chance for Tannin, Tempers and PItches - all of those will sell for far more gold than base materials either refined or not.

What Gargath is saying will net you some money - but at the end of the day you're just scamming yourself out of legendary mats which on console can fetch over 10k a piece versus stacks of 400 mats for a whopping 800 gold....

I def. second the keen eyes though - most people and guides say not to - but I've never suffered from a lack of skill points in this game, I have 3 right now I don't even know what to do with and will continue to get more for some time - keen eyesis helpful enough to offset the SP cost.

He said sell for MM average, not sell to merchant. Raw stacks of mats go for a fortune

They don't sell for than gold mats, unless you're selling huge stacks of them. I get on average on 1 gold mat per 100 ores, sometimes 2. That's at least 10k in any guild store.

Google?

Tbh, making money in this game is laughably easy, even if you are not a hardcore trader.

Making the first million is hard, after that, they mount up fast.

Btw, even doing crafting writs on a number of chars can net up to 100k+ gold per week, plus a healthy amount of gold mats etc.

So many ways to make gold in the game, dont be put off

I guess since im a new player to the game its hard to all take in at once.

Hehe yeah, tbh just farm mats as you are levelling up, dont worry about gold so much at beginning, once you get a decent stockpile going, then you can expand.

Crafting writs is a underrated money maker as mentioned too.

I am a poor peasant atm, only got 5.6 million, but wont take me long to get to where I was hehe.

Look forward to you being in the millionaires club soon
