    You just answered your own question, mate.

    In all honesty 2-3 hours is not a lot of time spent in this game.

    I strive for 6 hours per day and that still isn't enough time to do everything I want/need to do.

    Everything takes so long to do in this game.... Anyone who plays more than 6 a day is at a big advantage for making gold.

    Roughly 1000-5000 gold.

    I don't understand how to play the markets and I'm not in a trading guild.

    Doing your writs on one character nets you 4k per day.

    Assuming that you are at cp160 yes and do all 6 will get you 604 gold for each more if you sub so make 3624 gold per day

    Can not believe others can earn more than 50k.

    5 mins a day thieving will get you 15k a week. Writs every day on one character will get you 35k.

    There you go :smiley:

    2.5 million a week. Just by logging in all my 20 characters for 3 minutes a day.

    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.

    I have more mats then ill ever use. I bought up all the cheep mats weeks before housing. Im still sitting at 25,000 nirnroot in my bag and over 40k of each equipment writ mat. I have the master writ system figured out and pull in 2-3 master writs per character each day as well. I'm sitting on almost 2k wax and 1.5k of all other legendary mats. I stream writ and eso gold making tutorials and shown the profits i pull in daily.

    Love to know how you manage to get two to three master writs a day on each character with Zos rng system. Master writ drops are at an all time low right now. Somehow I think this is a little exaggerated. Not saying you are, just doesn't seem plauseable.

    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'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'd have to hope if the money you place in a guild bank attracts robbers,the said guild bank isn't the tamriel version of a public walkway

    If I'm up for farming gold, I roughly gain 10-15K per hour.
    I can play 4 hours (+1 in the morning if I wake up early enough): 40-75K
    The above calculation is for every weekday (MON-FRI): 200-375K
    On weekends (SAT-SUN), I can play for 10 hours if nothing comes in between. At least 5 hours: 100-300K

    So if I really want to, I can earn 300-675K in one week.
    Though I usually don't farm this much, because I don't really need that much gold, unless I plan to buy or furnish a house.

    Minimal effort with writs/mat farming nets 100k+ a week. If I'm trying I can push to 500k fairly easily.

    I really need to try set farming, but whenever I try, the pieces I loot never sell. I must be doing something wrong so I stick with the upgrade mats lol.

    Around 5-10k. I don't know much about the economy in this game. I've never farmed anything (I haven't even taken part in a Trial before). I'm hoping to learn all that eventually.

    I also only manage to play about 3 hours per day, I don't know how people with jobs are able to play as many hours a day as they do!

    35-40k a day on average, I am not in any guilds, trading or otherwise. I am however an altaholic with most of my gold coming from doing 3 Crafting Daily Writs and the Undaunted Delve Daily on 10 characters. Each character gets around 3-4k gold each from the quest rewards, vendoring all the Ornate items, and any junk items; I keep all the other gear to decon on lower alts and any recipes or maps I receive. Each character only takes 15 minutes to complete their rounds, that's at least 3 or 4 characters each hour.

    Depends. Some weeks it's 200k and then there's weeks where it's over a million.
    There have been weeks where I didnt care and it was less than 20k but average is 200k when I maintain it.

    Yup. Figured as much. :D
    Its more that you do, you need to be cp160 to farm gear, if not focus on other stuff like style pages who is not leveled.
    Grinding in Morrowind public dungeons is nice as much is in demand, first week was wild sold green blueprints for 9K but here the quest dungeons and delves was just as good.

    Done mostly group dungeons lately, and that don't give much income as all is bound. So I have made less than 20K and had to donate to trade guild.
    Also started selling cheaper stuff as in 3-500 gold, earlier I did not have room to sell it.

    What you should be asking is how many of the high gold earners are on pc

    Console community seems to have a much more frugal player base

    I've looked at prices of items selling on pc and put them on ps4 for same price and slowly learned that PC prices are like 4000% higher than console

    Seriously it's nuts

    We don't have the kids and add one pc have so it's a much more cut throat market and the gold looted in game is *** poor

    Console defo needs a gold boost from adds compared to pc to counteract the *** commerce

    I thought prices was higher on console, at least for raw materials.
    Rosin is 2.8-2.9K, Dreugh Wax 4.3K Tempering Alloy 5.3K,Ancestor Silk 40-43

    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.

    How long does it take for you to do the writs across your toons each day? I thought these dailies were more lucrative than these numbers. I'm not gonna do them because I don't like crafting.. I just craft so I can be self reliant with gear crafting.

    Honestly, the most time consuming thing is the loading screen. I can do 6 writs on a toon in about 2.5-3 minutes (little faster on stam toons). As long as you keep stacks of the appropriate food and alchemy potions pre-made in your bank, you basically just need to hit 2 writ boards and 4 crafting stations. There are addons that autocraft, rapidly grab quests, and auto retrieve needed items from your banker.

    Crafting writs are not a get rich quick scheme, but IMO, they are the simplest way to amass wealth in this game if you plan to be in it for the long haul. Basically, you get about 4k gold on each character from turning in the quests. You then have a shot at getting each of the 4 gold mats. You also have a shot at Master writ vouchers. They arent worth what they used to be, but they still sell. Finally, you get Alchemy Mats, Repair Kits, and Soul Gems. In other words, just about everything you need to play the game.

    I am in a high end trading guild, but I dont actively flip items unless I stumble upon something very obviously underpriced. I have tried making gold by farming (mindnumbing), flipping (risky), Crafting (everyone and their mom is a 9 trait crafter), and I have found this to be the most efficient use of my time on a daily basis. I have 8 figures of gold, multiple stacks of every gold mat, and thousands of gems and repair kits. More than I will likely ever need.

I stream writ and eso gold making tutorials and shown the profits i pull in daily.

    I am not questioning what's in your inventory, just your math. I have a few characters that are maxed as possible in crafting, and 2-3 master writs per character is pretty optimistic. Lets assume you get 4k gold from the quests, 1 5-Writ voucher (about 4k), and 2 gold Mats per character (call it 3.5k per, depends on which one) per toon. You would then be at about 4K+4K+7k=15k gold per toon. 15000*20*7 = 2.1 million.

    I would call those optimistic projections. Sure you get the big voucher once in a while, but you can also go days at a time without getting one. Same is true for Mats. I have seen characters get 4 gold mats in a day, and not get any for 3 in a row. Lastly, that assumes you are selling all this stuff, which doesnt seem realistic in a 3 minute login or considering you you have thousands of mats (seems you hoard them like me).

    Not saying its not highly profitable to do what you do, but I think you are over stating it a bit. Maybe I am wrong. Also, whether you have the mats or not is actually irrelevant in terms of what you make. You still need to consume them and they have value. In other words, every mat you use is a mat you didnt sell for gold.
