My mornings consist of making gold and managing my sales before I go to work. When I get home I make more gold and do dailies that are needed for achievement and/or profit. Since I'm done questing until new content comes out I spend the rest of my game time working on my vMA runs. Toss in a few random acts of kindness and that sums up my average ESO day.

What are your goals in ESO? How can someone help if we do not know what you are wanting to accomplish.

Sorry, I’ll try to explain a little better. I don’t have a ton of time to play each day, so I’m trying to figure out how to be efficient in the little time that I have. (2-3 hours at most) A few of my goals are, progress my CP to max, gain character strength in general, run difficult dungeons and trials, gear my character better, get a decent amount of gold, and mostly just have fun!

Currently it goes like this...

-Spend 1hr to do crafting writs on 14 characters, and feed the horses on a few.
-Then I head to Vvardenfell on two of my stamina characters who have leveled up legerdemain, pick some pockets until I get a motif or run out of Fence sales/launders.
-Queue up for a random normal daily dungeon on my new stam sorc who still needs skill points from most dungeons.
-Then I head to PVP if I feel like it.
-Or shop around for some motifs and recipes.
-Or decorate one of my 5 houses.

But, if a friend is online and they want to play I do whatever they want to do.


What you should do depends on what you want to get out of the game. I do writs to fuel my furnishing/motif gold sink. I do random dailies to get skill points. I pickpocket to get the motifs/recipes I need. I pvp and decorate my houses for fun.

-If you want to min/max you should do the Undaunted dailies to level up Undaunted skill line.
-If you want to get into a life a crime you should spend some time laundering/fencing stolen goods and then work on the Theives guild and Dark brotherhood quests/dailies until they are maxed and motifs are gotten.
-If you want to level up, then do daily dungeons and either do runs in skyreach or run dolmens. or quest if you can bare it.
-If you want motifs, find out where they drop and do those dailies, or pick those pockets.

Usually do a little rp in Craglorn while I wait to join a random dungeon, do a few of those, then it's to Imperial City to farm tel var stones, then back to Craglorn for a bit more rp.

I don't have a schedule, I just do what I fancy at the time. It's a game, not a job.

1. Log in.
2. Kill stuff.
3. Log out.

I returned as well after 2 years break. I still have only Orsinium and IC, didnt buy anything else yet. I log in, I do some stealing, because Im working towards justice top achievments, then I finish 3 guild dailies, then I go PvP. If I have more time, I'll do 1 or 2 pledges as well. On the weekend I play more at IC and do more dailies. In the meantime, I'm still learning what is new since I left and think what new DLC I will buy next.

@Tandor Although I admire your laid back comment, sometimes managing what you do does not require a job but simply maximizing your time by organizing. This can be added to anything in life and some people need a routine which can be applied to a game as well to a job. Not for everyone, but managing time isn't strictly for a job.

I wanted to make 3M gold to save up for an ESO house instead of paying real life money and thus, I made it a part of my gaming routine to spend an hour near the end farming for materials to sell and to stock up my guild traders 30/30 on all 3 traders. Now I have 3.3 mill gold in less than a month simply by managing my time and sticking to it to met a goal. But like I said, this is different for everyone because you may not care about the same things in the game as I do.

1. Log in and admire my characters beauty. RP walk through town

2. Check crown store (cause I’m rarely on so it’s for some limited deal)
3. Decide not to buy.....
4. Maybe queue for a dungeon, complete it
5. Log off

At present, most of my many characters (on two accounts) are max level. So it’s crafting writs, crafting writs, more crafting writs, a little pocket-picking and stealing, crafting writs...this is boring...I’ll come back later. I should note, though, that I am doing all those writs to save up money for the new housing and the outfit system coming next month.

My ESO routine makes most people say 'what the heck you are mad! Why??' every time.

Log in
Check my guild store listings
Read guild's MOTD
Check dalies
See if any guildies want in or if I gotta pug
Run dalies
Random wandering throughout Tamriel/fishing/farming/stuff
???
Profit
Log out

Depends on where you are at but for me, with 4-5 hours a session, 13 toons on my main account and 5 on my secondary:

Log into secondary account, do horse training on all toons, check for guild sales and restock trader (selling excess stock sent over from my main account).

Log into main account, do horse training on latest toon/s, check mail, pick up daily writs (see later paragraph), do undaunted dailies on any not yet at level 9 in undaunted, then do whatever I feel like on whatever account and toon I am in the mood for playing on. Maybe a lower level toon in Cyrodiil, or a mid level toon out skyshard/boss/delve/dolmen farming for missing skill points or achievements, or a high level toon having a go at trials or vet DLC dungeons.

I am doing crafting writs on 8 characters but while I pick them up every day, I do them every second day - so 2 days worth of writs in one go. This is usually done after undaunted dailies.

Whatever I do I always try and finish each session on a toon by taking care of inventory and bank space so that I am not forced to do it at the start of my next session.

It should be noted that I am well over CP cap on my main account, have completed all of the research I am going plan to do (have a 9 trait and many 8 trait crafters), have leveled all of my main characters crafting levels to 50 and have already made more gold than I expect I will ever need.
