I'd stop deconstructing stuff. It's the biggest cash-sink you never notice. During those 6 quests you probably picked up armor and weapons worth more than twice as much.

I know that on my alt where I decided to just vendor 95% of the gear I found I was suddenly finding myself feeling very wealthy indeed

Crafting blocks a lot of income if you deconstruct quest rewards and trash drops.

I tend to harvest every node I see and refine it for the improvement mats and crystals and then sell the refined ore/cloth/leather/wood on if I don't need it.

I don't bother with the guild stores though. Granted it's only 400 gold a pop for a stack of 100 ore at a vendor but I pick up enough of it to get a decent income.

I hear you, I struggle as well. One thing I would say, I would recommend you don't spend money on repairs unless it's a really special item. Typically you get stuff you can use to replace your gear really often. Repair costs are huge and generally unnecessary at the lower levels.

Wait for the time after you done questing.. I made my v10 only by questing , no farming, no grinding and nothing... since i`m exceptionally unlucky I didnt really get any motifs, and all I have I bought..

Now darkshade has been nerfed to oblivion , and solo farming is so contraproductive that you spend more on repairs than you actually get by farming solo dungeons or any zones you are in ...

I've tried material hunting for hours and it pays very little...

This is the very first MMO i've played in decade that has literly NO WAY to ear money after reaching end game... every single mmo i've played before has at least some sort of daily quests so that if you are not lucky *** (like friend of mine who sold several daedric motifs ...) you actually HAVE A WAY to make money ... here ?.. forget it.. make a new char and get money by questing ( which is not an option for me - I don't wanna have alts, I want to have 1 character and make it perfect in every way) or you can move on to another game..

I have noticed that repairs have suddenly become way to expensive and the lack of money to be gotten in game. The economy is a joke compared to ANY other MMO out there. I find this ticks me off that they are punishing their players with this type of economy.

I have until fall/winter of this year then I can play a real MMO and not this single player game with MMO DLC (as if MMO was the after thought) joke. I am staying because I love my fiance and he wants to play this. He is paying both subs, so I will endure this. I believe once he hits Veterans, I will be happily playing that other game sooner than fall/winter.

I really tried to love this game since launch. Just so much is broken and it seems the game punishes paying customers. I see why they have a gold spammer and bot issue. As I told my fiance if this doesn't get better by fall/winter I'm out. I'm not paying 15 bucks a month to be slapped aside the head by any company.

They need to lower prices or up loot drops. I mean seriously no loot drops from mobs six levels under you, even the bosses? Shesh every MMO I've played had loot drops from low levels (even levels 1), it might be just trash but it was enough to get a few coins from. And they charge you 15 gold for race stones, but the resell factor is 0. They pay you 20-40 gold for armor, but repairs are astounding on same armor. Cooking was at least paying a good profit, but they decided OMG some player MIGHT ACTUALLY make some gold..NERF time! The Guild store is a big fat joke. Nothing like killing a public dungeon boss and recieving 2 gold..>.> Now I got to deal with the stupid rapid armor decay.

Sorry I am ticked off about this single player wannabe MMO game. So, I will stop here until I can again post in a calmer manner.
