What is IMO the quickest way to make gold?

As the title says, what is in your opinion, the quickest way to make gold?
Edit: I am not new, I am CP 500 but I never farmed gold before, that's why I'm asking

geonsocal · September 2018

two things...first - OP is not a noob, been posting for a year, probably played longer...

second - holy *** do you all make earning coin in eso sound incredibly *** tedious...

early on I stole like crazy...

I've done the cyro thing for years...hard to get rich that way...

writs and motifs are the answer...

oh yeah - having a guild trader location in one of the main cities helps a whole lot...

geonsocal · September 2018

earn more than you spend...

really though, it depends on where you are in the game...just started some new characters on the EU server...

I have one of them parked at the thieves guild spot in hew's bane...there's a nice killing/thieving run you can do around the crafting area...

There is no answer to your question. I assume you’re new, so the best answer would be to collect mats and jewlery drops from dolmens and sell them. But above all else, you need to be in a guild with a trader kiosk in highly trafficked areas that are not DLC zones.

Beyond that, get the TTC addon. So you know listing prices and basic sales data. Then the mater merchant addon so you can aggregate actual sales data from your guild private sales data. Please don’t share master merchant data. It is not crowd sourced and the data that feeds it is actually supppsed to stay private. But no one realizes or cares about that. So whatever. Just start by understanding that TTC and MM collect and provide VERY different data.

So sell them things at prices that make sense. Use master merchant and TTC together to determine items that sell at high volume and then know what price to sell them at.

Master merchant addon simply will not work right unless you are member of real trading guilds. And the five to ten thousand gold in weekly dues they require is chump change.

So first advice is to join a proper trade guild.

The fastest way? Selling crown gifts can make you a millionaire instantly.

If you're looking for an ingame method, daily writs are great. More toons = more gold. It does take prep work though.

You can farm for hot items if you know what sells well. You can make 100k+ off of single items if you get lucky.

Steady gold for low level or brand new players could be fishing and selling the unfilleted fish. Maybe 100 gold each depending on your platform. You won't get rich, but you can do it day one right off the wayshrine if you go get some bait.

Agree, really depends on how many chars you have, content you like to play, how much time and patience you have for mindless grinds, etc.

There are several making gold guides outside (including mine in the Player's Guide Section). Personally, I think the best way is to mix, but this is also due to my limited patience in doing the same over and over...

I dont have much luck on the guild traders, but doing all seven daily crafting writs on a level 50 character nets 4.6k daily, regardless of crafting skill. Do all of those on 6 characters and that's a daily 28k, plus goodies like mats, ornate & intricate gear, surveys and master writs

Yep. I've got 9 girls so far, different levels, no 50s yet. I still net about 20k gold a day. With the 100k reward today, I have a bit over a million in the bank. I only started playing about the end of June.

I like to farm mats. I find it relaxing. It takes having some time and knowing your farming routes, but I can make around 50-100k a day, depending on how much time I put into farming. I sell mostly raw mats and reagents, which makes consistent gold.

The best way to farm gold is the method you enjoy and can do consistently.

Crafting Writs on 8 toons nets just over 1 million a month in gold alone (600 gold reward x 7 writs x 8 toons x 30 days) in addition to which you get the extra mat rewards, intricate jewellery (sell for 1200 each) and gold master writs to sell. With the craft surveys you receive sell all the raw mats

Hireling deliveries on 8 toons twice a day sell the mats and tempers averages almost 100k a month

Being on the winning side of the cyro campaign (almost always AD on EU PC) getting 100k ap each on 8 toons nets 160k gold per month in end of campaign rewards plus all the purple jewellery you receive that sells well (vicious death rings go for 10k)

Selling in demand overland drops like mother's sorrow, necropotence, spriggans, briarheart etc

Flipping items on trade posts buy low sell high - Craglorn traders are best

It's very easy to make gold in this game without much effort

starkerealm · September 2018

Yeah, writs are probably the fastest, if not the most entertaining.

PlagueSD · September 2018

fastest way to make gold? Steal everything that's green and above and fence to your daily limit. The more characters you can do this on, the more gold you can make.

Fencing items will skill up legerdemain, which will allow you to fence more items per day.

If you have considerable pve knowledge you can farm motifs in DLC dungeons. Soonish the Wolfhunter motifs will come and you can expect 20k per dungeon run at least if not more if the motifs are actually desired. (Fang Lair Chest motif is still in the 100ks because it's a bikini top.)

You also have to consider that writs don't take nearly as long as the other methods so if you put your mind to it and maybe use addons to make your life easier, then you can do other things in addition to the writs. Keep in mind that learning all crafts and investing to the highest tier writs will cause a massive skill point shortage that you just might not be able to handle right now.

Get a treasure chest route in Mournhold (mothers sorrow and plague doctor) around the cemetery in Bankorai (spriggans seventh legion) and a few others. Get a couple trading guilds in decent areas and sell everything. You can find maps of chest locations online and even some videos. You can also farm mats as you run around. Way more fun than farming mats alone or stealing (imo). Nothing like pulling a nice spriggans axe or dagger or mothers sorrow inferno. Money in the bank.

PvP and use the AP to buy motif pages to sell. Always check all containers and backpacks. Many blueprints and patterns I've found at random this way. Usually they are junk, but I've found quite a few worth 30-100k.

OFFL1MIT · September 2018

Go to riften, run around in circles killing lions, it's near the city of riften, kill the lions get the scraps , refine them get the vax out of it sell it on guild traders, at the same time sell other mats too. But dont forget to pick other loot and sell it to merchants. Or just any other grinding spot will do aswell, just collecting loot will do too.(other grinding spot I think is in reapers march killing zombies) But if u're good with collecting alchemy herbs, thats also profitable, but you need to be good at it. the downside u dont get any xp while doing it. Doing daily quest also good, u get drop good gear that you can sell at guild stores. But if u good at pvp and u get ap fast, u can buy at cyro transmute stations and motifs that u can sell for good price.

firedrgn · September 2018

Personally .....crafting writs on as many toons as u can.
