Deconstructing stolen goods and selling....how????

StueyMac40 · June 2018

This might sound like a stupid question but once you deconstruct stolen weapons and armour into their base materials, how do you sell them to vendors?

Have you got to have a certain amount of goods like 10 maple?

And can you sell runestones and materials from your crafting because that's where all my deconstructed stuff goes and I can't seem to sell it.

I think once you decon them the stolen indication goes away. You can launder stolen goods but only at stolen goods npc. The raw materials should be sellable if they have actual value.

So, you should be able to sell any materials you acquire from deconstructing stuff. Anything you can sell will show up in the "Sell" tab when you access a merchant.

If you can't find your materials, do you have ESO+ ? If so, your mats are stored in your crafting bag, and I can't remember if you can sell straight from the crafting bag for not.

Yeah I got ESO+ yesterday...maybe you have to craft then sell with that because no materials show up under the Sell tab

Just so you know, you will make way more gold selling the mats through a guild store, even one that does not have a kiosk.

Also, and this seems to change every few months, most stolen items give back one mat, where mob loot drops give more. Of course CP160 items only give one mat unless intricate, but i dont think you can steal much in the way of CP160 stuff.

You should be able to sell from the craft bag directly, but you have to do the Retrieve function while in the store interface. On PC this is done with a Right Click. Not sure on console. Me i retreive the stuff manually and then sell it.

You can also set an option to not store mats ever or until you log off to help with decon and selling

Even with ESO+, you can set your crafting bag to not move mats to the bag automatically. Then you can withdraw mats to your inventory and sell from there. I just don't know if there's an easier work around.

Thx Nestor....just found the retrieve button on my ps4....how do I find a trading guild tho? Preferably one with minimal fees?

Nestor · June 2018

Look in the guild recruitment section of the boards here for your platform/server. Or look at the lists for sale and email names you see often in the game. Most trade guilds not in the top 3 or 4 cities charge little to nothing for membership.

Once you deconstruct stolen goods, you can then sell the raw materials to any merchant you want to.

OR you can sell the stolen goods in their original form to a "fence" in a thieve's refuge.

Yeah that I understood, my issue was the materials did not show as items to sell, they went into my craft bag. Sorted now though.
