    The only time I ever get gold on my characters is when a campaign ends in Cyrodiil. So as you can guess the largest sum of gold I have ever got is 60k. I spend it very quickly on gear and upgrades. haha

    I dont buy much, only some alchemy indredients for poisons and a piece of gear from time to time, waiting for the gold vendor until there is something i really need. I dont trade much, got alot of income from daily crafts, over 100 gold tempers and kuta's in stock if i get the gear i really want to gold out. Same for ap, i have enough to buy a gold jewelry set if i will be ever on the gold vendor, think iam a bit of a hoarder to :)

    I spend it all on Corn Flower and Blessed Thistle. Don't have money for anything else; been broke since Trials gear all went BoE.

    Doesn't each vet trial get you about 12K in plunder, with another special 10K item for doing the HM? Those plants are about 250 and 150 gold per unit from what I can remember, with 100 for Water Hyacinth (the one that gives crit). So it's about 500 gold give or take to make 4 potions. In the end it comes to about 120-130 gold per spell power potion - guild sell prices are about 150-160 gold. So only the plunder will net you enough gold to buy enough flowers to make about 100 potions without HM, which amounts to about 80 minutes of potion up time. That's about 2 hours or more of actual play since you will not be drinking potions in between trash pulls in trials. If you were doing trials when stuff was BoE I assume you are a seasoned player by now, that can do most trials in half an hour, give or take. So each trial will give you enough gold to buy mats to make potions for 3-4 more.

    I keep about 5m gold in my bank and spend what I make from trading on motifs etc. Only have one house which is pretty much unfurnished apart from the boat I was able to buy after getting Master Angler but still collect housing plans (I'm really quite disappointed with housing in ESO). I also occasionally give gold to new players, contribute to guild raffles etc.

    All my gold since the housing update has gone to it. Best update ever! Most fun I ever had and gives a reason to use gold. Before housing people had way to much gold it was a much needed sink. Now there is a reason to have gold and use it before it was just look at this huge pile of useless gold I can’t use.

  • silvermistktralasub17_ESO
    I voted other, because I split my gold up. I buy myself at least one housing recipe a day on my main crafter, and 1 motif chapter a week in addition to the ones I need for writs (I do writs on a lot of characters, 9 of which can do master level in all 6 crafts). I buy houses, and housing materials. I've currently managed to get myself up to about 1.1 mil in the bank, not counting that I have at least 100k on each of my 14 characters, for spending purposes. I tend to grab luxury vendor items quite often too. Maybe this time I'll save up enough to grab the Daggerfall Overlook before spending it again.

    Well, one of the reasons I still have plenty of gold is I'm very conservative about spending it. Besides the things I mentioned, motifs and furnishing schematics, I hardly buy or give away anything. I do make much more than the minimum sales on my trade guilds and only donated a small amount along with a few Dwarven Construct Repair Parts to my PvE guild to build dummies. I am entirely self sufficient when it comes to tempers, plants and enchanting runes, and the basic materials I do buy from guild stores for crafting writs are actually an investment that turns into profit once I turn those in, either directly, or indirectly as tempers, master writs and raw materials from surveys. I've yet to buy a house, and when I do so it will probably be from subscription allowance crowns, not in game gold. Every day I tend to optimize my game play every way, including resource/gold management so the profit margin will only increase in the future. For example I will add 5 more crafters to the 5 I have ATM within the next 4 months.
