How do you make gold?

I see people always saying it's so easy to make gold in this game. I've always struggled with it. Been playing since first beta, have several capped characters. One with all crafting maxed, but still broke all the time.

✭✭Sell a large variety of things. Glyphs, materials, food, potions, recipes and diagrams. Fish as much as possible, sell intricate gear and any dropped set that someone may want. Keep your guild traders fully stocked, dont buy stuff you dont need, and run public dungeons to kill stuff with quick respawns. Steal stuff as often as you can.Edited by D0PAMINE on October 21, 2017 11:21PM0 -

✭Join a trade guild if you play regularly enough, and use addons if on pc to help price the items.
You can also try to hock your wares in populated chat if that's your thing.
You can farm and sell mats. Gold tempers, Kuta, Extra Purple Motifs, and Perfect Roe are easy to sell after you find some.0 -

✭✭Play content that gives BOE equipment and then sell it to players.
Undaunted, Fighters Guild and Mages guild dailies can all drop draugr motifs which sell for a bit, so do them while levelling a character. A small amount of pvp rewards sell decently too, and if you play enough you can basically convert ap into gold.
Pick up all loot and sell it. 30 gold a pop adds up over time. And on that note, inventory management is key.
Look at the recent listings in guild traders and pick up stuff that you can resell for a profit.
If kutas sell for 2.5k and you see some for 2k each, that's a potential 500 gold profit per kuta.
Or just pull a good old fashioned grind. Farm a public dungeon for gold, or harvest resources and sell them. Pickpocketing and thieves guild stuff can net decent profits too.
Or if you are feeling lucky buy morrowind treasure maps and try for Buoyant Armiger motifs.Lord and Savior of the Association of Serious S***posters.
I play a character called "Gives Me Wood Elf" because I am a mature and sensible person.

✭✭✭✭✭Just play the game. My guess is those that spend it freely are mostly the ones without gold. I could be wrong, cause I do not know.0 -

✭✭✭It's not that you need to be rich in this game for any reason other than personal satisfaction.
Nothing in this game can be bought that can't be farmed on your own. Much of the best gear is BoP and can't be bought anyway.
Motifs can be farmed and duplicates sold to buy any missing ones. Kind of a money wash here
Once you upgrade your bank and bags (the MOST expensive upgrade IMO), You don't need to ever do it again.
The money kinda collects itself after a while. If you become self sufficient with mats and craftable items like pots and consumables, the cash just kinda happens.

ereboz✭✭✭✭✭I think my problem is hopping between lots of different characters, re gearing, spend too much. I need to settle on a main character1

✭✭✭✭✭I don't make any gold, but then I don't have any reason to spend it either. I've been playing since PC launch and have probably had on average between 50K and 100K at most spread between my characters who are mostly self-sufficient.0 -

✭✭You can make 50-100k a day running writs on one account depending on what you get from the turn ins. I've made upwards of 300k on multiple accounts in a day. Over 500k if you include running the resulting master writs, buying things from the merchant, and selling them on the guild trader.
The militant and armiger motifs prices are currently outrageous, can farm those.
Certain open world sets always sell well. Sharpened necropotence staves are still over 100k and the jewelry around 20-30k.
Farming tel car stones in IC can be lucrative. Buy hakeijos or flower bags.
Hire someone from China to make 10 bot accounts and farmbot. On console it doesn't seem they are banned. (i'm joking you humor impaired).Edited by Wreuntzylla on October 22, 2017 12:33AM0 -

✭✭✭I farm telvar and sell hakeijos and herbs. You can easily make several 100k telvar a night if you can solo bosses.
Zos might be closing some of the dead campaigns so there may be more competition soon. Not that i mind Ic pvp can be a lot of fun at times.
Theres lot of ways to make gold, take whatever activity you like and make it profitable. The latest dlc dungeons are getting motifs this patch, ill be sure to get my farming face on for those, i still remember selling mazzatun/silken ring pieces for stupid amounts of gold.
Another tip since you(op) said you have been playing since beta. Go look in your craft bag, find all the useless alchemy mats that you wouldnt use for pots, think blue entoloma and the like, and craft poison. They sell for good prices, even if you cant sell them at a guild trader, a stack of 160cp poison seals for i think 10k gold at vendors. Only if youre desperate though. And soul gems, if you do dungeons chances are you have more than youll ever use.0 -

✭The secrete to making lots of gold is to find a King who will lock you in a room full of straw with a spinning wheel off to one side ....
Or, you could also pan for gold, except I don't have a suitable emote that would allow my character to do this.
I guess I'll just continue being broke (sigh).Edited by Maryal on October 22, 2017 2:45AM0 -
erliesc✭✭✭I got into crafting and farming for stuff and have probably 2 mil in bank/bag/horse upgrades in game gold. Since I like hunting easter eggs I always seem to have more to sell than 5 guilds will handle. I make most of my stuff for 4 characters..and .craft glyphs and furniture.
Since joining the thieves guild I'd rather ride around chasing chests and so forth than questing. Don't want more houses.
Main thing with this game for me is to do what I enjoy...not what it seems that the game wants...though it is best to try and stay up with the main and guild quests.I know nutting....0 -

... and then trade. How may join a trade guild, but don't trade?
That trade guild? Make it a trade guild with a guild trader. It's not really a trade guild without one. Be prepared to pony up to keep that guild trader. Pay the dues. Pay the req. Buy the lottery tickets (20% of your profits, as a guide). Doesn't matter if you win or not. It's not about you. It's about the trader and the guild. So do participate in the guild events as well.
You'll need stuff to sell of course.
Farm mats. Farm gear in a zones where desirable gear drops. Bosses, delves, chests. You can farm all of those. Become a thief and go to Vvardenfell to pickpocket. Farm motifs in Wrothgar. Get hardcore and farm the master chests in Vvardenfell for the Buoyant Armiger pages. Upgrade select gear you get to sell at a much higher price point. Become a real trader by buying and flipping. Don't just be a seller.
You wanted to make gold yes?0 -

✭✭✭✭✭what a few others already said.
2 very important components.
1. you need to join a GOOD trading guild. a guild with at a minimum steady vendor in a major city, even if its one of the non capitols. personal experience at least - things move fastest in undaunted/capitol cities, belkarth and rawkla, followed by starter cities (like Daggerfall, Ebonheart, Skywatch), followed by just large cities in general. everything else is basically a hit or miss even with TTC. mostly, people who shop at far off locations fall into one of two categories - they are either buy low/sell high resellers, or they were questers who just happened to be in the area.
2. you need to figure out what you can farm consistently, and then farm it and sell it at your guild trader. if you are on pc, addons are absolutely essential if you want to make consistent income. I have no idea how people make do on consoles, as I don't play on a console.
this is pretty much the ONLY way to make large amounts of gold relatively quickly and easily.
now.. if trading seems daunting- you can have a very reasonable income from stealing. there are several places that have no NPC, so stealing there is very quick. there is however a fairly low cap on fencing stolen goods per character per day and it can be time consuming, so its good as a way to get your starter capitol, but unless you really really REALLY enjoy stealing and/or farming for specific drops to either use or sell (I made a very nice profit off great house motifs for instance), its not the more efficient way to make gold.
one thing I will say about this game vs my experience with other games is that people tend to buy more and varied things here than in some of the other MMO's. you can literally sell just about anything if you price it reasonably enough. so finding your niche is very doable.dirty worthless casual.
