Have you been making investments? If so did it pay off?

Not long ago I had meager 20k or so that I had saved up from selling vendor loots to NPC's. Then one day I read patch notes regarding changes to traits/mundus stone. Since then I began making investments and farmed both, reluctantly but out of necessity, and have made about couple millions of gold in about 1 month time. I hate playing the market because I find it incredibly boring, but I needed the gold to buy certain crafting mats for all of my alts and more importantly bag spaces so that I won't need a crafting bag as badly. I'm sure many here are opportunists looking to make money so I gotta ask. How did you do the past 1 month?

Then the anniversary event happened, farmed motifs as mad, ended with 2M, continued to sell of some until Morrowind, another 600K

Yup.. but it's really risky and stressful sometimes with so many changes. Real roller coaster. I still made good money but that's after many mini heart attacks because I went all in, meaning I could have lost most of my money instead of making money.
In the future I won't expose myself to so much risk and just stick to good old farming instead.Guide to making $$$ in Tamriel: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/370618/guide-to-making-gold-in-eso/p1?new=1

erliesc✭✭✭Like many players I started with next to nothing and got into farming and eventually guild selling and developed that habit till I got up over 1.5 mil... making all my own armor/weapons. Now out of habit I still farm and make stuff to sell.
Have 1 medium size house...but rarely go there. So have no need for a big house. Just use the various rooms to travel about.
Wanted to get into selling furniture...but that market sort of sucks...people want mats more than finished stuff.
Now putting some gold into top line armor/weapons...bag/bank space....but still no meaningful way to spend my ill-gotten gains.
The life of a rich player is not all it's banged up to be. Would be really interesting if they would come up with something meaningful to spend gold on.....I mean game gold.I know nutting....0 -
Swifigames✭✭✭Barely profitable at under 100kI've been mostly casual in my play style so I'm not super heavy with gold but I do try and set a profitable amount aside so that my bottom line get's higher over time.
I spend what I need, limit my wants and slowly I watch my gold roll increase.Enemy-of-Coldharbour wrote: »Buy low, sell high!
You know it. I've been thinking of taking some of what I have saved up so far and grabbing those good deals that I can afford that I know will potentially sell for more to the right buyer. I'm thinking this is a good, solid way of gaining increased profits."We don't want other worlds, we want mirrors." - Gibarian

Kessra✭✭✭OtherNot participating in any trade-guild. Do buy from guild-stores rarely as I don't enjoy this trading-madness (people who already have hundreds of millions of gold are still trying to get more *headshaking*). Have plenty of sets banked on alts (hence they are full) and if I need something I go there and start farming for the item till it dropps and then stop the farm again. Items I already have are vendored as I don't care for gold that much (still some millions in my bank).0

Denyiir✭✭✭✭OtherJust PvP, selling AP gives me 1-2 millions a month which is more than enough since my only expense is basically alchemy reagents for potions (tons of them).0

That's actually very lucrative for not doing anything but PvPing. I should think about doing that.Edited by Megabear on August 16, 2017 5:30PMGuide to making $$$ in Tamriel: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/370618/guide-to-making-gold-in-eso/p1?new=1

WaltherCarraway✭✭✭✭✭Profitable at above 1 million but below 2 millionmaster crafter status has returned well over a million. Took me few months and much small money (motifs, recipe, material, misc) to be honest. So I'd say I invested almost the same amount of gold before it repays.Edited by WaltherCarraway on August 16, 2017 5:38PMBack from my last hiatus. 2021 a new start.0

I would say this is the safest way to make money if you only stick to alchemy high demand mats.THE CAVELRY HAS ARRIVED! Cav is a professional magblade, (in his not so professional opinion).

✭✭Profitable at above 100k but below 500kYou mean after the update went live right?
Its not really a gamble if you know what sets/materials are going to be popular, most important thing is to sell quickly.
Many people overprice their items and they end up not selling them at all, number 1 trading mistake.
Just take a look at some of those 80k Mothers Sorrow rings in the guild stores for example.PC - EU (AD)Septimus Mezar - Altmer Sorcerer
