Is there any way grind things that costs a lot of gold?
If yes how?Where?

Asardes · September 2021

The best stuff to farm:
- Raw materials, if you have all refining passives and the Meticulous Dissasembly CP refine yourself; also alchemy reagents
- Crafting writs, at max tier drop rate for gold upgrade materials is ~30-35% so RNG is quite predictable
- Zone sets that are sought after: Spriggan, Spinner, Mother's Sorrow etc. especially the weapons (that make sense)
- Certain Cyrodiil PVP sets, by spending AP on random coffers from town vendors (your alliance has to control that town)
- Certain IC PVP sets, by spending Tel Var on random coffers from vendors in your alliance base
- DLC dungeon motifs, first couple of weeks after they start dropping, if you have a strong group that can clear the HM for a guaranteed drop; prices drop sharply so you have to hurry for those.

They rarely drop on normal, sometimes on vet and guaranteed on hardmode from the last boss.

The most pricier are the most recent ones that started dropping like Waking Flame from the Cauldron, or the one from Rockgrove trial right now.

Even the weird weapons like Staffs for Stamina Sets and Blades for Magic sets have value as people can use them to fill out their Sticker Books.

Yep, that's why I mentioned the HM for DLC dungeons. Activating the hard mode on Veteran is a guaranteed motif page for every player in group, veteran without that is more like 30-40%, and normal, which obviously doesn't have a hard mode only gives a very small chance, I guess 5% or so. And the hard modes on DLC dungeons are really hard, especially the newest ones, for which motifs haven't been yet completely debased to the point where you wonder if it's even worth listing them on guild stores.

If you're looking for information on pricing, your choices are:

Actually looking in guild stores.
Using Tamriel Trade Center to summarize what's in guild stores.
Using Master Merchant (PC only).

The first two only tell you what prices things are offered and not yet sold at, but that's still useful.

But really, if you're short on gold and don't have any practiced techniques for getting it, the single best and most reliable way to get it is by doing crafting writs. Hirelings provide free stuff too, if you can afford the skill points (and also have invested in leveling up the skill lines).

Also even if you only play one character, making gold isn't hard. For example on NA where I generally play less than 1h/day I've been making about 2.5m/month since I started.

Some purple companion items can still bring a few hundred k, depending on what it is and the trait.

This particular video is about new ways of making gold this patch. Maybe check out some of her older ones too. Personally I stick to daily crafting writs on 7 fully-leveled characters when I need gold, as that keeps me occupied long enough before, for god's sake, I want to actually play the game. As I see no point in upgrading body pieces to gold and usually not jewelry either, I sell Dreugh Wax and Chromium, which has gotten so expensive really (PC EU). I had a weekly obligation of selling 350K not too long ago. It was easy enough to achieve with this method.

It depends on your character progress. Daily writs are nice but you need at least few characters with maxed crafts to see noticeable cash income. If you have no crafters but pretty strong character you can try to farm newest motifs (the ones with highest number usually). If you have nothing but your will, go to Coldharbour and run around Hollow City and farm alchemy plants - in one hour you are able to make more than 100k gold this way.
