I'm dirt poor rn ,but hey I'm only missing a couple motif pages to have all the styles!

Before housing started: about 3 millions.
After housing started: constantly broke

Currently only have a mil so I'm kinda broke but just decorated a large house

So I'm not the only one :P I do the same but keeping 1k on each alt. When it goes to total gold... Well I decorated my house once, years ago when prices were much lower and I'm happy with it till this day, so without the need of buying furnishings I'm sitting above 100 mil, if I would count my mats, let's just say I'm not worried about being broke in the game.

More than I need. Always seems that way.

I used to think it was quite difficult to make gold. Now I have pretty much got the hang of it. There are a lot of viable methods, just got to find one that suits you.

I like to sit on a lot of gold, I have no real plans to spend a lot of gold. But it's good to have, in case something interesting shows up in a store one day.

Does lemon count? This one has 3756 of them.

Only 45 million. I'm basically poor.

An impertinent question but as long as you don't tell anyone...I have about 2.5 million. I don't spend much and I don't sell much.

< 1m


Most I've ever had is 1.4m, and that was when I was saving up for a house.

But I don't trade, so... /shrug

I will likely never be hurting for gold again.

At the end of each character's "shift" I habitually bank it in increments of 5,000g.
That way no one character has more than 5,000 on them (I do occasionally stealth thru Cyrodiil )
And it's nice to watch the pool grow, now if we could only earn interest on banked gold

To any newer player reading this who's also frustrated about feeling broke:
I was where you are when I started ESO a little over 2 years ago.
I came in blind (to ESO), just had my knowledge from previous ES titles.
As I do with most open-world games I wanted to just pick a direction and explore, kick-over rocks and main quests and Stuga be damned. Mostly bcuz I hate being told what to do, I make my own way tyvm lol

Very soon I realized I needed gold (duh), more frustrating was that all the junk I was picking up was worth exactly 0 gold.
I need better gear, the stuff I had needed repair, the most basic sword costs HUNDREDS of gold omg!? (and where do I buy arrows for my bow haha)
I went on like this for a couple days until I actually learned daily quests give gold (duh again) and as I made levels I started finding loot that actually HAD value, it grew from there.

2 years later I have over 23mil banked and I've certainly also bought quite a bit, so it's not all 2 years of pure savings. No one handed me anything, all self-made.

My point is, it WILL come to you. Just PLAY the game, have fun, explore (Loot EVERYTHING).
There are no shortcuts or easy-mode in this game, it is a time-investment by design.
But the gold and all the shiny things will come in time, you just have to go earn them for yourself.

More than enough

I mean, I am in a trading guild. I don't care that much about it and use it mostly to get rid of stuff cluttering my bank (furniture plans, motifs, set items...), but I meet the 250.000 sales minimum each week; sometimes 500.000 or up to a million, depending on how well things sell that week.

But as soon as I have it, all is spent for housing It's so costly, especially if you construct your own buildings. I think my Markarth Dwemer style Deadlands fortress was 4,5 million gold so far - only the structure (walls, roof, stairs, doors, windows) - furniture not included.

For this one, that limit is 500 K
