On average how much gold do you earn weekly?

qsnoopyjr · July 2017

I own 4 guilds in Rawl'kha

Those people pay me, so if I want to save up gold, all I do is take a break and come back to 8 to 9 figure amount of gold.

Your elf obviously have not met Dun-and-Dunmer yet.

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!

3 hours a day is the most I can play on weekdays, unless I decide not to sleep and play until late at night, which I sometimes do at the cost of atrocious 8 hours of work later in the day. On weekends it's a hit or miss, sometimes I get to play all day, sometimes I even get less hours of game time than weekdays.

Not sure. I make sure I post enough to get 1000 in guild listing fees to the trade guild I use. I usually end up at around 2k in cut to guild. Sometimes I do a lot of writs. I sell a lot of junk gear to merchants. Some weeks though, all I really do is horseriding training on 2 wardens and list more items in guild store. I'm still selling down motifs from the anniversary event as I waited for a rebound in price. I am running low on blue housing recipes.

I could run out of stuff to sell soon, which could mean taking a break from my trading guild.

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.

A few hundred gold per week!? That's like a quests worth without picking up drops. I make over 50k a week without the use of a trader.

Depends on what you do, what characters you have, their level and how you play them. Not to mention how many hours you play.

Darzuk82 · July 2017

400-800k on avg. sometimes more. Never less than 400k.

qsnoopyjr · July 2017

You know what the top 1% says.

Dont rely on one source of income, have multiple sources of income.

Start a trade guild, charge people, make money just because you own the trade guilds.
Thats how people make good money.

Those people working HARD... HARD. Be making scraps compared to those working EASY.
They take a break from game and come back 8 figures of gold worth in mailbox.

Difference between rich and BROKE
BROKE people do as much work possible, they work VERY HARD
rich people do minimal work possible but maximizes profit

BROKE people work HARD but are LAZY

AKA minimum wage
or job that pays BANK

ALL due to you not being lazy and being the one making the trade guild.

It doesn't depend on anything. I make 50k easily without the use of a trader, usually over 100k.

40-60k doing nothing but pvp. No trading, no selling.

Is that after deducting what you spend for potions or flowers etc?

Oreyn_Bearclaw · July 2017

For those talking about time in game, well I am a practicing attorney that works 50-60 hours a week. I raid for 2.5 hours 3 nights a week. On those nights I do writs and raid; that's it. On others, I do writs and typically play for 1-2 hours before the wife aggro gets too severe. Other than Saturdays, it is rare that I am in game more than 3 hours in a day. You dont need to play 8 hours a day to be wealthy in ESO, you just need to be efficient with your time. Writs are as efficient as it gets.

The main barrier to entry for doing a lot of writs is leveling skills on other toons. It takes patience, but if you are careful to decon all your gear (funneled through your bank) on whatever toon you need leveling, you will be surprised how fast you can get craft lines to 50. Doing Writs also drop a lot of intricate items, so it tends to snowball. I rolled my Stam Warden like 2 weeks ago, and he is already at 50 crafting across the board because I have so many intricate items to decon.

The other thing is skill points. It takes around 60 skill points if memory serves to get everything you need to do writs. Basically any level 50 toon will have that. You can get to level 50 in a day if you put your mind to it. I have 13 toons, 11 of which are max level. Even my low levels are max crafters. I typically only play 3-4 toons at any given time, so i simply spec the remaining 6-7 to do writs. Some of my older characters have enough skill points so they can play and do writs.

starkerealm · July 2017

50k-100k when I'm slacking off, like now. When I'm actually in the game and active it skyrockets. I usually sit around 300k a week, without much effort, but I've pushed past 1.5m a couple times, when I had my eye on something. Right now I'm just sitting around poaching furniture recipes and furnishing Daggerfall Overlook, though.

This might be the dumbest thing I have read all day. You cant work hard and be lazy. You can work hard and be inefficient, or you can work hard and be under paid, but those are not the same things.

Also, if you think people running trade guilds dont have to work at it, or that they just get to use all their guild funds for personal use, you are beyond clueless. Keeping a good active trader in a prime spot takes a ridiculous amount of gold and a lot of time on the part of the guild leader.

I'm not saying you don't. I'm saying the difference between making a few hundred a week and making 50K a week is the things I listed.

I've figured a very successful way of making gold but it is very mind numbing and tedious..

Tai-Chi · July 2017

This is a difficult question to answer but a rough estimate is between 400K g and 800K g per week.

My Household (of 8) is pretty much self-sufficient.
I have no need to deconstruct armour and weapons because I have more than enough of whatever I might need. What is unlikely to sell with Guild Traders, is sold to NPCs.
My Crafting bag is healthy and increasing in size steadily. That is even despite selling 400 (green level) foods/drinks per day to NPC vendors - bringing in 14K g per week.
The basic Daily Writs alone bring in c 150K p/w. To economise (and to save time) my Maxed out Crafter makes batches of foods, drinks and potions for the other Chars to turn in.
All my Chars know good, short harvesting runs, that take in many Treasure Chests.
A max Legerdemain-skill Imperial (or my Main Crafter) has the task of collecting on any Treasure Chest maps found - for the best results and rewards.
My sales from Guild stores are not particulary good but occasionally there are items that bring in good bucks. Most of the stuff I sell is between 500g and 5,000g and I get several sales every day.
I get a steady flow of daily income from FG Dolmen Quests and Undaunted Pledges but I do not do Dolmen runs; it could take several days before the 3 required Dolmens are completed and turned in on each char. I turn in about 2 or 3 per day accross the board.
I have no idea how much profit my Chars make from Questing and from the sale of trash gear to NCP vendors. What I do know is that after each run and armour repairs, they have several more thousand gold in their pockets, than before they set out.

Most importantly, my Chars have managed to save c 1.5m gold in the last 6 to 8 weeks.

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

Prices definitely higher than that on PS4 NA - Rosin lists for 5-6k, Dreugh Wax 6-7k, Tempering Alloy 8-9k, Kuta 5-6k, Ancestor Silk (refined) 12K plus a stack (60g each)....

These aren't the exceptions - stuff actually sells at these prices.
