How do I make gold

Destyran · January 2020

I play eso about 9 hours a week and I pvp mostly I’m trying to make gold I do writs everyday have 250 tickets and I have been selling the gold motif pages from event for 50k I bought all VD jewels in gold and sold for 400 k but I have ran out of resources I use a lot of tripots and have just gold my build fined tuned ready to gold out. What’s some good way to make gold that’s not too excessive like the gold motif pages any tips or hints?

writs on as many toons as you can stand doing them on.

there are of course other ways of making gold such as the ones that have been mentioned, but i find writs the most reliable and steady way, requiring low effort.

the important part that many neglect though, is getting them all to max level in the crafts so you get gold mats as rewards and learning the basic motifs/alch traits/rune translations for higher master writ drop chances.
especially alchemy and enchanting can be leveled in a few minutes and give you master writs that can be used to powerlevel new toons.

telvar farming for hakeijo is a good source of gold

Do you have crafting hirelings?

Do you have alt characters who also do writs (and have hirelings)?

If you pvp you can save your AP and buy motif pages. I'd also suggest farming the Arena Gladiator quests as well if you PVP in Cyrodiil especially since the new Knights of the Circle style will be highly sought after and sell for a pretty high price. If you have Imperial City and cleared the main quest line I'd also suggest running the daily quest for the siegemaster merit. At 20 or 50 you can trade them in for a helm or a costume and those sell for big bucks too.

I'd also suggest making some alts and using them along with your main as crafters. You can make between 2.2-4.6k per day from each toon depending on their level (4.6k from lvl 50 toons). You can use the weapons/armors you get from RoTW as research material and decon materials for them and once they hit lvl 50 in a profession (and you put skill points in, 10/10 smithing for example) you will have a chance of getting writs that increases with more research. You can sell those for decent gold depending on the writ but you will also get mats from the crafting turn ins. This will help you stock pile mats you may need so you don't have to spend as much and you can focus on saving. My other suggestion is farming IC for tel'var. Now is a good time to do it as lots of people are using bosses to farm the Legion Zero pages, but you can get apothecary satchels for 500 TV each and they have alchemy mats. If you're making your own potions they are very useful.

I just do writs on my characters everyday. I got 10 toons now, not all of them are at level 50 yet but I get 38k a day. On 8 characters I made around 30k. Slow but sure and still quicker than farming. I just listen to my favourite podcast, do some chores during load screens and click away.

Using Alliance points to buy the two motifs that you can only get with sed points and selling them for gold. Some of the 500,000 ap ones can fetch for 64-70K each.

Easy dollar....

telvar -> alchemy satchels -> sell those reagents

Either take platinum and add one proton to the nucleus without disrupting the electroweak force, or take mercury and remove one proton.

Zer0_CooL · January 2020

Since you like to pvp, i'd sugest to go to Imperial city. Killing the destrict bosses gives you good stones. You can buy flowers with those to craft your own pots and sell the ones you dont need. Maybe wait until the event is over since atm is crowded af.

Ok this seems to be the way a large investment for a bigger investment one question can I use rejera somehow for leveling enchanting instead of itade as I have 6009+ rejera

If you wish to make gold from scratch, you must first create the universe

well you can, but it will take way longer bc rejera is cp150 and won't give as much inspiration. so it's basically gonna be a waste of rekuta.
you'll want to use repora or itade. the latter are usually cheaper on guild stores.

it seems like a big investment but it's really insignificant, it'll return the money in 1-2weeks depending on your rng.
also you get some of the runes back from deconstruction

How to make gold.

2. Feed it lots of iron.
3. Star goes *BOOM* and there is gold in the nebular remnants.
4. PROFIT

Sell yourself on the docks of Hew's Bane

Shantu · January 2020

1. Kill, loot, sell.
2. Farm mats, sell.
3. Craft, sell.
4. Crown trading.

It's not really that hard. If you're not selling looted items to a merchant or trading crowns, you simply figure out what people are willing to pay for, find a way to get/make it, and sell it in a guild trader.

And don't overlook selling cheap stuff. You may not get rich quick, but over time it adds up.

Huh?

First, leveling a craft by making things rather than breaking them down is slow and tedious. You're not getting a lot of IP that way no matter what you do. (HOWEVER, if you level two characters at once by having one make things for the other one to break down, it goes a lot faster.)
Second, there isn't all THAT much difference in the IP between adjacent tiers of a craft.

Wrong. The rod-shaped bacterium C. metallidurans primarily lives in soils that are enriched with heavy metals. Over time some, minerals break down in the soil and release toxic heavy metals and hydrogen into the environment.
Gold enters the bacteria the same way as copper. Copper is a vital trace element for C. metallidurans however it is toxic in large quantities. When the copper and gold particles come into contact with the bacteria, a range of chemical processes occur: Copper, which usually occurs in a form that is difficult to take up, is converted to a form that is considerably easier for the bacterium to import and thus is able to reach the interior of the cell. The same also happens to the gold compounds.
This is how gold is made on earth the rest is theory and cannot be proven.

Wow this is a delightful thread. I just browsed along hitting "agree" and "insightful" and "awesome".

I will throw in you can find a place to farm critters, get whatever kind of leather, refine it and sell the gold mats.

Or find out what types of ingredients sell; i.e. beetle scuttle usually goes well - find some beetles and farm them; on occasion fleshfly larvae does (that one's a bit iffy) but often farming in undead rich areas will get a bunch.
