What do you do with your gold?

Vanthras79 · November 2017

Furnishings and motifs mostly. My fungal tower will have a multicultural feel to it to explain my various travels in Tamriel as a Master Telvanni Wizard.

I try to throw it all into the Bank, but then I come across a Motif Style I really like, and then there goes another 40,000 down the drain...

It'd be nice if the Console Market deflated to PC prices.

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

Very nice.

@RPGplayer13579

Close to 4 million, but I‘m not really trying, just lazily selling stuff. I’d settle for a Junior Smaug or Glaurung though seeing people have more than 100 million.

Any amount of gold can be kindly donated to @red_emu ... then I can decide what I actually spend it on

Schemering · November 2017

Beastnas · November 2017

Keep in it my inventory and look at the big number to feel good about myself.

RaddlemanNumber7 · November 2017

Houses, conservatory furnishings, achievement furnishings, luxury furnishings.

The Golden.

Motif pages I can't earn myself.

Repairs.

Stables.

pdebie64b16_ESO · November 2017

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

Alchemical · November 2017

I sit upon my hoard like a mighty dragon.

Cloudless · November 2017

Master_Fluff · November 2017

I hoard it until the Shiny Kitty has a helm or two for sale that matches the lonely shoulders sitting in the three banks used by my monster helm desiring characters.

MLGProPlayer · November 2017

I spend it on skooma and strippers.

AbysmalGhul · November 2017

I have enough gold to put in a coin purse and yet, it still rattles.

Naturally, I would hoard my riches, but Mrs. Ghul is my co-op partner.

Mrs. Ghul has many nice things,.
Mr. Ghul has a wife with many nice things

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.

Latonia · November 2017

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.

FloppyTouch · November 2017

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.

NatalyaPeterovna · November 2017

everything goes to blueprints which i usually learn make sell and any gold i get thn gets sunk into housing XD

VelimOrthic · November 2017

There's gambling? Not going to read through the thread to see whether it's a joke or a misunderstanding. But if there is in any way, that would be stupid.

Lots of siege and gear for me. Anything to increase my pathetic k/d ratio.

silvermistktralasub17_ESO · November 2017

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.

teiselaise · November 2017

I just bought a house and now I just spend my time desperately trying to get a little coin, wondering how anyone can have a 100 mil

WillhelmBlack · November 2017

Make potions. Just short of 1 evenings worth.

Yeah some people just toss gold around and make personal bets between friends... like who is going die first.

Asardes · November 2017

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.
