How are you making gold?

✭Other (please explain).I don't make any gold... haven't for years. I just spend gold & have enough that it will never run out for the lifetime of this game. I hit a certain point & it just seemed like a waste of time to continue to sell gear & mats to make a superfluous amount of gold.NA Server [PC] -- Mostly Ebonheart Pact, Mostly.0 -
mayasunrising✭✭✭✭✭Other (please explain).Pretty much all of these!

caperb✭✭✭✭✭
✭I do not sell found/farmed materials and use everything I farm/loot myself.I don't like farming, I rather spend money to buy mats, so my gold has to come from normal gameplay. Of course when I get drops which I already own I sell it.0 -

Zulera301✭✭✭✭✭Motif Farming.Motif farming, coupled with crafting writs. Easiest gold in the game right there, to the point where I can make over 100,000 a day if I do it on all my alts.
the motifs are a nice bonus too though. Some of the ones I regularly farm bring in 10-50k each depending on the page, so suffice to say, I'm sitting on over 40 million gold right now.Shortly after the formation of the Ebonheart Pact, a Nord woman was given a tour of the Tribunal Temple. When later asked about the experience, she seemed upset. Suffice to say, the Dunmer were not pleased to hear this, and thus they inquired further.
"Well," the Nord frowned, "the priests were very angry and unwelcoming. They kept shouting things at me like "you can't drink that mead in here!" and "somebody stop her, she's running naked!" and "we can't catch her; she's covered in grease!""0 -
prof-dracko✭✭✭✭✭Go to Cyro, enter a delve, do a panicked check for other players, farm the three bosses + loads of chests on repeat, sell for profit.
Bonus chances of faction motifs which always sell decently. Not the best way to do it, but I was farming the motifs myself and it was nice getting all the extra gold from the ornate drops.0 -

You really do need a hoard for it to be meaningful though. I barely had the time to have a second character max out their crafting, so all I could earn is about 9k gold a day from writs. I could make more from doing a couple pickpocket runs through Anvil Castle.
It's actually super easy to power level the crafting on alts by just tossing them all the random junk you pick up ordinarily, rather than selling it to a merchant for 56 gold.
You don't have to powerlevel the crafting - the gold you get from the writs is based on character level. My lv50/160 alts doing writs with rank 1 materials still get the same 4.2k gold each. Of course, half the items rewarded are rank 1, so that's a bit lower.
Indeed you are correct, I did mention that in my bit about Jewelry a couple more sentences in.
The gold values are consistent - you def. want, if possible, to get those top tier rewards though because yellow mats are instant sales for my profits."You must defeat me every time. I need defeat you only once"0 -

Having goals doesn't mean you aren't having fun. It only turns into a job if you aren't having fun, and are still doing it.
Playing the game's economy, for me, is one of the most fun aspects.

Rasande_Robin✭✭✭✭I think about everything in the game in terms of "time/gold".
I will give you my top three of what I can give in this term.
1. IRL job sell crowns nothing in the game beats that in terms of time/gold except number two on the list if skilled.
2. G-store Item flipping.
3. Daily Crafting.PC/EU: Orcana "something"-stone0 -
Araviel2✭✭✭Other (please explain).Pvp and imperial city.
Not that PvP is a very effective way of making gold, but im a little of a roleplayer.

Easily_Lost✭✭✭✭✭Farming / selling raw materials.Mainly sell raw materials, but I also scout out other guilds traders looking for the items that I sell and buy them for less then resell them for a profit. I guess you call that flipping.

kitsune_beth✭✭✭Selling looted items found in the world, chests and dungeons.I mostly do writs and sell stuff I find, plus questing. I don't bother selling to other players, I've been ripped off enough times to know there's a lot of selfish azzhats out there. Don't bother with guild traders either, serious rip off prices to buy anything. It might take longer to make gold, but I'm ok with that... 2 million + now and slowly increasing.0

markulrich1966✭✭✭✭✭
✭Other (please explain).by hard work.
using 10 toons, dailies (delves/Worldbosses) to get rare materials as reward. Shimmering Sand, Culanda Laquor. Several hours every day. Investing money in expensive blueprints (some cost more than 200k). Then craft furniture from those expensive prints with the rare mats.
Same with drinks/food, but for those I do not farm the mats (except those I get from daily writs like bervez juice).
And selling motifs that drop from the dailies. Like this I sell for approx. 100k each day, but this is not full gain, as you have to substract the investment costs.
In any case, farming alone is not enough, you also need to buy additional mats to fill up your stock when the prices are low.
I have bought 1700 mundane rune yesterday for almost half a million (280 gold each), as the usual price is up to 400-500 gold for 1 currently on xbox EU (was 180-200 two months ago). Was quite happy to find this rare deal. I already had stopped selling floors and stairways as I ran out of runes, and people don't buy if you increase the prices so that they match the increased cost for materials.Edited by markulrich1966 on November 13, 2019 1:35PM0 -
Ilision✭✭✭Exploration.This POLL was created for ME to gather some of the information I needed. I do not understand why people keep saying that I did not create it correctly. To those negative folks, what is wrong with you? Stop spreading your misery unto others. Goodness Gracias.0 -
BNOC✭✭✭✭✭Farming / selling raw materials.I don't need the gold anymore but I still occasionally farm it when I'm doing nothing else.
I farm Telvar and sell plants, make potions/poisons - Can be up to 250k stones an hour for me on a PVP build, ~170k p/h in no-CP IC so it's 400k an hour gold at it's lowest.
I also find other farmers and buy their plants in bulk for very cheap and re-sell: I have ~ 20k of each plant left but I went ahead and bought 100 stacks of Columbine last night, 8k a stack from another farmer who was just trying to make fast gold. I re sell them at 19k a stack in traders (rough price mine usually go for) - They'll all sell over the week and I'll make a calm 1.1M just from listing 100 items.
I also used to offer in chat to craft sets for 10k (their mats) and if you're in a few big guilds you can have ~10 people at a time wanting sets - Go to a Guild House and craft them all, cash in - This money maker is equally good and bad as people tend to remember who crafted for them. The others are better, that's just an easy lazy one that requires little effort.
