    To be honest, I’m not saving it for anything in particular. I just like to see it accumulate.

    Amass wealth to 2 billion, buy everything I want in game for gold (all homes etc) and in the crown store via trading gold for crowns and never have to use real money for ESO again except for my ESO+ subscription.

    You got most of the stuff I spend my gold on there, but they were multiple different categories. Housing, furnishings and furnishing plans, crafting mats, upgrade mats, potions when I'm out of the alchemy mats I need.

    Shifts in meta that require build alternations so I can always have enough to gold out weapon and armor, make pots which get pretty expensive. I hate farming so Ive gotta buy stuff.

    I will probably buy another house, sooner or later.

    Takes me so long to gather furnishing mats (and they're so overpriced, lately) that I'm in absolutely no hurry to buy a house to not furnish.

    Also, I'm running out of houses I like enough to want to buy.

    My gold usually goes toward stuff like buying gear pieces to experiment with builds or cheap motifs that I like aesthetically. Anything left becomes my "rainy day" funds.

    I don't even know what exactly I'm saving for. I used to save it for a house that I then decided against getting, and now I start to panic if it gets below 1mio, so I save it :sweat_smile: and then once in a while I throw it away for rare motifs and furniture plans, or go on a shopping spree at the luxury vendor.

    Before I saved up for Coldharbour Surreal Estate and Ald Velothi house, now that I have those my housing needs are satisfied for now. I'm thinking anout buying soul-shriven skin if I don't get the drop myself during this event, their price in guild stores should drop during the event.

    To be accurate, not "a much larger house", but "some more houses". I own several houses, and there is none larger than my main residence, the Colossal Aldmeri Grotto. But I also recently aquired Cyrodiilic Jungle House and Kragenhome, which I'm currently in the process of decorating.

    What can I say ? Housing is my endgame.

    The Impressario sells the "Soul Shriven" skin for 10 tix too. Just thought you might want to know in case it doesn't drop for you.

    Most goes to the luxury vendor, furniture in guild stores and crafting mats, in this order.

    The house that ZO$ will never make. The one with a 24 player capacity and 700 item slots (you'll note I've COMPLETELY given up on getting them to raise both those caps as they should) that isn't so stupidly huge that it would actually need at least twice that to not look empty. The house that has intelligent living spaces...kitchen, bedrooms, living area, dining area... you know, an actual house. Yeah I'm waiting for that house.

    Initially I was saving up my gold for the Alinor Crest Townhouse. This house fit just perfectly with the story of my Bosmer from the first moment I saw it, but.... with only 300/600 housing slots there's absolutely no possibility for me to furnish it the way I would like and imagine. The 300/600 would be swallowed up by one room only, and I don't want to have a house with just one furnished room and the rest empty, hollow rooms and hallways.

    So I'm still saving and I don't really know what for. I just can't get myself to buy a house for a million gold that I cannot use as I like. :/

    So - Keep Wall Repair Kits always come in handy, there are still some (hmm.... more than 900 :D) furnishing plans my Bosmer has not yet learned, so I sometimes buy a plan or two, when the price is not too high. Fishing bait is also useful, sometimes a jewelry trait for a master writ and style motifs.

    Apart from that - nothing for now. But perhaps there will come a time where I find something worthy to spend a big amount of gold on.
