So, ways to make money without a guild store?

I've been playing the game for awhile, and I've never been rich in the game. The guild I'm part of has had a seller every now and then, but mostly we just don't retain the ability to keep one.

Which brings me to the question of what other ways are there to make decent money in the game? If a seller is the only way, I wonder if I'm just wasting my time trying to put together a few coins.
Clueless, but willing to learn.

    Sell valuables in zone chat where the big traders are and vendor all your trash loot.

    Or join a trading guild, there are plenty that don't have crazy requirements and always have a trader.

    Sell bulk mats. Sold 200 cornflower for 40k just yesterday(in zone chat)

    Also a stack of filled soul gems is 6k if vendored. I seem to be swimming in soulgems so that's always an easy get.

    But mostly bulk mats.

    When I run pledges and public dungeons I always seem to have 5k worth of trash minimum. Also doing crafting writs not only gives you money but helps with materials collecting.

    I tried not joining a trader guild, and it worked until I started farming stuff. I had a bunch of stuff that aren't BiS so they wouldn't really sell in zone chat, so I was forced to join one. Find ones without fee or have low requirement (i.e. 1000g per week or low weekly sale requirement) with decent exposure in one of 5 guild traders areas.

    before I bit the bullet and joined a trading guild, I primarily made gold through stealing, undaunted delve dailies and crafting writs. although.. because I'm an obsessive looter (and huge part of why I will likely stay ESO plus member for as long as I play ESO), i ended up with a LOT of cooking mats. and I just happened to be maxed in cooking by that point, so this video ended up being extremely useful for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIb0neexyQY never been able to find specific cooking mats at prices that would make this profitable and worth the time investment so I only do it when I'm not sure I can sell something fast, but I need the gold fast and stealing will take longer/will result in less gold. but... it was a very nice occasional emergency source of gold for me back in a day.

    You (and most of you) won't like this.

    Stop racing down the roads/paths and get off your mount.

    Then, exit the town you're in, put your marker on the point you're trying to go to, and run in that direction through the wilderness.

    Stop along the way to pick up runes, iron, jute, open chests you don't see from your mount, and wood.

    Sell everything. Try chat for some stuff, but don't linger there. If it doesn't sell, it goes to the merchant.

    I can easily make 4k - 6k in a days worth of playing (6-7 hours).

    Of course, I'm not going to get to level 50 in a week, but what's the rush.

    Good luck.

    They really should have a new player guild with trader and an anti-social soloist guild with trader. Cost you one guild spot but if you're antisocial, no loss.

    6 daily crafting writs gives you 3.6k per character, sell the gold tempers/alloys in zone chat, sell any weapons you get to NPC traders, go get the stuff from the survey maps you might get, refine raw mats and sell the tempers/alloys and mats you get out of them.

    Do this on several characters and you'll be rolling in it. At one stage I was doing writs on 8 characters, making 30k+ a day just in writ rewards.

    It is still better and more time efficient to join a guild with a decent trader and use the time you save to go out and make the extra to cover trading fees and then some. I spend 10 minutes or so a couple of times a week to stock up my trader and get about 500k a week - they get a nice donation every week and whatever commissions from my sales.

    ...not to be rude here but 4k a day is just doing the writs on one character and logging off=x

    The definition of "a lot of gold" varies drastically for different players. If you still feel 10k is a lot of gold - you can actually get fairly nice gold questing and vendoring trash loot you get. Also writs. Could easily do, Idk, 10k a day? At max level big quest rewards are 600+ gold.

    Stealing can yield some gold as well if you're good at it(I'm awful so usually end up losing gold for bounty instead lol).

    But the most profitable is selling stuff to other players. Some stuff such as Armiger motifs, sharp Necro staves, some of the rare furnishing blueprint can easily go 200-300k+. Some of the new furnishing blueprints are actually worth over half a million, but they're also a pain to find.

    You can sell stuff in zonechat without needing a guildtrader, it's just more time consuming. Easier if you're selling new hot stuff like new furniture blueprints, motifs, armor sets etc. Tbh I'd advise trying to find a relaxed guild with an out of the way trader, makes it so much easier. If you're pc and sell just under TTC suggestion you'll most likely get customers anywhere - people will come for the lower prices.

    No offense intended at all... but I easily make twice that amount of gold in half the time, and I don't belong to a trading guild, nor do I sell anything in zone chat.

    Which is dumb, because a nerf to the sharp trait doesn't even remotely mean that you need less penetration to do decent damage. Just goes to show how many people know nothing about how their build actually works x)

    Gold farming? Farm public dungeon trash mobs and bosses. Vendor crap, sell desirable items in zone chat. Stuff like plague doctor, mother's sorrow, green pact and the likes are all easily farmed in public dungeons.

    Your trade guild doesn't need a seller to make money, that just helps.

    You can sell in house as well (how did bitter vets did it back in our day), the main thing to make sales is to have good prices and sell items people want.

    Otherwise as people said it's via zone chat.

    ^ this. A 500 strong guild does most of its selling internally anyway. I'd rather shop at the bank than run zone to zone. If my 2 trading guilds don't have what I want than chances are no one else does.

    Yeah, I used this back before the craft bag, when building up too many mats was actually a bad thing. It's very time intensive. You can make some nice pocket change doing it, but it really isn't worth it.

    With the addon and crafting bag+autolloot it can be an nice way to make some money then you start getting many hundreds of most food ingredients. two stacks of 100 vendor for 10K, so I could probably make 300K if I wanted.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
