On average how much gold do you earn weekly?

The poll is anonymous.

Clarity on where your number begins and ends:

- Use 2017 average weekly earnings.
- Include all legally obtained ingame gold (i.e. exclude gold from botting, gold purchased from gold farmers, scams, etc), including but not limited to gold drops, quest rewards, sale of goods and guild contributions that you keep for yourself (not all guild leaders are selfless)
- Items not yet converted to gold through sale do not count (i.e. items for sale on guild traders but not yet sold)
- Amount you spend does not factor in either (that's for another poll).

    I selected between 200-400k, but it's really hard for me to accurately guess because I'm the laziest trader of all-time. I basically will only post items for sale when it's clogging up my inventory.

    50-100k, but that's based on relatively casual gameplay and selling only to NPCs. I'm sure I could make well over 100k a week if I was dedicated, or if I sold stuff to other players.

    50-100k Doing regular stuff, levelling up characters, doing dungeons, pvp etc. etc.

    If I start farming I can probably double or triple that number.

    I think about 50k but I've constantly got none because I keep respecing my skills which funnily enough was costing me less than 100 for a few weeks there and since last weeks patch it's been 7k a time, done it 4 times in last 2 days at that price.

    When my trade guilds have a good kiosk in a good location, it can be 100K-200K, but for the last few weeks, a couple of my guilds have not had a kiosk, or had one in a bad location. It's very frustrating that bot guilds can target your long time kiosk position and take it away from your guild no matter how much you bid.

    I'm a bit hit and miss with my gold earnings but when I am earning it all comes from farming weapons and gear, I tend to do cycles of days farming 7-10 days with a couple of weeks where i do nothing inbetween. When I am farming though its not unknown to be making way over 500k a day with around 300k being the average, its knowing whats hot and whats not and having a bit of luck granted by rng as to trait drops. Infact other than the first four or five days of Morrowind (still thriving on the profits from that one) the last real push i did was Plague Doctor farming, i could not get the stuff in fast enough and it was just a constant cycle of listing and farming as things were generally selling within an hour or two of me listing them.

    My numbers are low because; after the Morrowind release and the accompanying Update and all of its atrocities it inflicted upon this game, I haven't logged in more than twice in two weeks. There's simply no reason to log in when the very Devs are committed to a path of removing anything "fun" from the game, and think "balancing" means nerfing player power into the ground.

    So, my Gold generation has suffered, but I haven't really missed it either.

    Normally i earn 20-40k a day, if i bother to update the trade listing. As i'm not max level, that is only from mats/resale since i don't farm gears/dungeons. Usually spend around 1-2 hrs/a day farming/trading with 4 trading guilds and 1 social.

    It's a shame when the purpose of polls is contradictory, although it's no more surprising than when any form of bias is apparent in a poll. You start out by explaining that all legitimate means of earning gold are covered, including drops and quest rewards, then you give the lowest option which is capped at 50K and this makes it clear you're really only concerned with traders. You should make that clear in the title, and then exclude other activities than trading - if that's really the basis on which you intend the options to be set.

    Otherwise, where is the "less than 1K" option?

    My answer to the poll on both my accounts would be a few hundred. That's what's left from drops and quest rewards after deconstructing anything I don't need. The only time I exceed that is if I have the odd session concentrating on stealing and selling/laundering the proceeds in which case it will be more like 2K. I have no interest in the trading system, whether selling or buying.

    As a guild leader you want me to include the gold that gets deposited into the guild bank? That's not my gold, nor do I spend it on anything for me. Goes to items such as the guilder trader and occasionally prizes for events etc.

    I'm perfectly calm thanks. How about addressing the point I made? Are you only concerned with trading, in which case why include other revenues? If not, why not have a lower starting range?

    Thats because when skills are reset due to an update (Morrowind) ZoS lets you respec for much cheaper so you dont spend a fortune trying out the changes. Once the first major update after that reset occurs the costs go back to normal.

    I'd avoid giving information publicly about how much gold is deposited in a guild bank - that could be useful information for those who only join guilds in order to rob them :wink: !

    I would assume that is to do writs? Not sure what else you can realistically do in 3 minutes. 20 toons doing 6 master writs doesnt get you anywhere close to 2.5 million (it certainly would have the 2-3 weeks after master writs were released). Also, unless all you do in your spare time is farm mats, no way that is sustainable without a lot of costs associated with buying raw mats.

    I do master writs on anywhere from 6-10 toons a day. Since Master writs fell through the floor, its typically just 6 these days. That puts me at about 170k in gold a week, and probably that again or more in gold mats and master writs, but I usually hoard the gold mats. I also prob spend 30-40k a week on mats needed to do said writs.
