Artaeum Broth Shortage!

I take everything I said back.... Just realized they changed it to a food rofl


Idk whether it is a real shortage and there are not enough materials in the game, or if all of the guild traders are fully lazy rees that have no concept of Supply and Demand.
At this point I am leaning towards the latter, seeing how they still price it at about 5-6k.
Whichever it is it needs to be addressed by zeni. I shouldn't have to travel around checking guild traders for an hour to get 1 Artaeum Broth.
Guild traders you could make a fortune if you steady supply them I don't get it. Put the damn price up to 10k or whatever the hell you have to do to balance the supply. This ain't rocket science folks.

    Why are you unable to make your own? Buy/farm the mats and make your own. Problem solved or am I missing something glaringly obvious here? Or are you too lazy to farm or buy your own ingredients thus every bit as lazy as those you're currently pissing on?

    This too ain't rocket science. After all, no one playing the game is here to meet your needs.

    You won't really make that much money since Mother of Pearl itself is quite expensive and you need 5 of them to make 4 servings, provided you have the right passives. The recipe itself is quite easy to get, and it usually takes less than an hour of fishing in Arheaum until you get a pack containing it. Generally the margin on crafted consumables is ~10% or less so I don't bother stocking them in my guilds. I can sell the ingredients much faster.

    I wish it just required perfect roe too. Artaeum is very expensive and that should be the only drawback, but no it's also stupidly hard to get.

    I'd guess that there aren't that many people willing to pay much higher prices for it either. Dubious Camoran Throne shares most of the same effects (slightly smaller magnitude), minus the health recovery, and the materials for DCT are much easier to get.

    This. I sold the broth for a while and didn't find there to be enough demand to warrant the trader slots. Selling the raw PMoP was much easier.

    It's kind of like gold jewelry; ridiculously overpriced for the real value it returns and takes an absurd amount of grinding/gold to get the mats. I'll use the purple stuff and get on with things that are actually fun.

    If you are on NA PC, send me a message. I will be happy to sell them to you for 10k a pop.

F2P, B2P, etc. are valid, proven business models - but subscription is the one that fits ESO the best, given our commitment to freedom of gameplay, quality and long-term content delivery. Plus, players will appreciate not having to worry about being "monetized" in the middle of playing the game, which is definitely a problem that is cropping up more and more in online gaming these days. The fact that the word "monetized" exists points to the heart of the issue for us: We don't want the player to worry about which parts of the game to pay for - with our system, they get it all."

    The problem with Artaeum broth is the materials needed. Five Powdered Mother of Pearl, and I am unable to buy those in large quantities, as there are not enough on the guild traders. The few that are there often are very expensive and would force me to put up the food for horrendous prices and I doubt I'd sell them. The demand simply isn't there. Last time I put up the broth for over 5k each (that was the price needed to actually make a small profit), they simply didn't sell, I even got a hate whisper from someone who saw them on our guild store, calling me a greedy *** and wanted them for 2.6k, "as that is what the magicka food goes for". [snip] :D

    When I bulk craft Clockwork Citrus Fillet, I do a quick trader tour and buy reasonable priced perfect roe; usually enough to cook 300-400 Clockwork Fillets. Those go for ~2800 gold at the moment and I sell the whole amount in one week usually.

    Farm the Powdered Mother of Pearl and make it yourself. It's more profitable to sell the PMoP than to make and try to sell the broth since the PMoP can be used for Alchemy potions also. I see a lot of the broth on traders, it doesn't always sell. But the PMoP does and usually pretty fast.

    I learned the recipe for the broth but it's impractical to try to make for regular consumption or sale as farming it is a pain in the ass. Clams seem to not exist on console and the geysers don't drop them consistently enough. Plus they're not exactly close to wayshrines for easy travel. I have to be in the right frame of mind to get those mats to make the broth. Oh and melons can be underratedly hard to get.

    This.

    Materials supply makes the recipe essentially useless. I could make a couple dozen Broths, but there are better things to do with the materials.

    The mats sell a lot quicker than the end product and usually with a higher profit margin.
