Buy Motifs, and Housing that will set you back millions

Quoted for truth. When I originally got into crafting, and especially housing — I did not expect to spend as much gold as I have spent. This is because I thought everything can be farmed, and in the end everything would find their way to my ownership through farming. Days and weeks went by, until I decided to just go on ahead and spend a bit here and there. Thousands turned to tens of thousands. Tens of thousands turned to hundreds of thousands. And so on. And thus I came to the realization of how powerful being a crafter was.

Try theorycrafting, dude. You will end up with no money in no time.

Yeah I recently purchased the Daggerfall manor with gold, also have every single in game motif done, and about 800 furniture recipes

Sitting on millions doing nothing. Boy. Must be nice to be able to say that while I've been struggling to maintain 100k.

Publius_Scipio · June 2017

You should look into investing some gold into real estate. Invest and grow your wealth.

MLGProPlayer · June 2017

I've spent millions on housing and overland gear.

What have you been doing that you can't get over 100k? Have you tried not spending more than your gross income?

I laughed at this I login and make 100k from writs I'm not sure how anyone does not have large amounts of gold

CaptainBeerDude · June 2017

Back in the day, I did writs religiously. Wasn't even close to making back what I spent doing them. I've just started getting into provisioning writs (for recipes) and they seem more friendly to my small stockpile of stuffs so far.

100K from writs every day, week, year? If I do those, I get 3.6k + 300 from trash shipment mats + max 700 from gear = 4.6k daily from it. The gold per minute is still greater than stealing, though.

From gold mats, exp pages, master writ plus doing them on 10 characters nets me just about 40k from that all my mats are farmed so it's pure profit for me.

It get way more then 100k but some days RNG is not nice some days I can make 500k if all the good stuff drops

zaria · June 2017

I earned most of my money during the anniversary event. It was not an xp event it was an motif rain.
Did crafting dailies on 8 char and lots of dailes probably made far over 3 millions hard to say as it took a long time to clear out the motifs and I also bought plenty
More money with Morrowind launch, not used much money.

Well done Vestige! That is Awesome! The Profit would be proud of you.

There is no point in hoarding it. Life is too short; enjoy it while you can.

You cannot take it with you when you depart this Nirn. In fact, the muggers and looters in IC will empty your coffers in a flash -
even when you are just pretending to be dead.

I am sure the Robe will look very becoming and the robust little Pet will make a faithful companion.

A bit of what we fancy never goes amiss. You might even develop a penchant for spending. Go on, be daring! Live a little!! Enjoy!!!

Logging in and out of 10 characters can be a chore.

Having said that, you can easily make just as much gold from farming, and you only need one character.

First question, do you really enjoy spending all of your playtime to log in and out again and again to do writs? Like, are you interested in that kind of gameplay content and you find the joy in it so you can spend all of your playtime doing it?

Second question, have you ever tried theorycrafting? Especially theorycrafting for PvP?

@Radinyn PC EU

Hi am a welfy prince from Shivering Isles it has come to my attention that your long lost relative haz left you millions of gold, I just need a deposit of 500k before I can send it to you.

Also it seems real estate is the way to go but am I aloud to buy a home and then rent it out for X gold a week/month ? or is this TOTALLY against TOS

I struggle to keep my balance above 20k lol. It's a game life choice I made though. I don't buy or sell anything. Just spent two days farming enough ores to craft couple sets of heavies.

Thank-you for that. The pun was intended.
I wondered if anyone would latch on to it. I can tell your keen eyes are on the wicket. That deserves an Ore-Sum, if ever.
