    • daily crafting writs.
    5k gold per 50 level character and if you have the maximum 20 characters that is 100k per day, which can take less than an hour if you have the Writcrafter addon.

    • killing monsters in public dungeons and selling ornate gear, Crimson Cove has a lot of enemies close together.

    • pickpocketing and selling Treasures at Fences and selling furniture via guild traders, rarer so probably easy to sell.

    • Daily quests in most dlc zones give structural furniture plans, West Weald and Solstice are newest and the plans still get sold at high prices.
    - Other zones that drop structural plans from daily quests are Necrom, Galen, High isle, Fargrave, Blackwood, The Reach, and Western Skyrim.

    • Ayleid plans can drop as bonus loot from antiquities in Gold Coast, Blackwood, and West Weald.
    - The Green treasures are free to scry and you get the Blue treasure lead from the Greens, easiest way to get those furniture plans.

    • Attunable crafting staions get sold for 100 or 200k i think, don't remember the exact prices.
    - you can buy them with Writ Vouchers from the Master Writ merchants Rolis Hlaalu and Fautina Curio in Elden Root, Mournhold, and Wayrest. And you get writ vouchers from completing Master Writs.

    there are probably more methods i cannot recall

    There are two basic principles.
    1) Farm for gold and trash items to sell to in game merchants. This is guaranteed, but low yield income.
    2) Research high value items at Tamriel Trade Centre and how to farm them. Then offer them through trade guilds. The guilds with active discords can give good hints on what is valuable and what is a waste of time.

    Add chance for surveys who give materials or can be sold.
    Crafting writs on characters with 50 in the crafting skill also give an chance for gold tempers and master writs who can be sold or used to get writs vouchers.
    So I say real income is more than 5k more like 10k.
    Chance for master writs drop increase then researched all traits and knowing lots of motifs.
    Not notice any difference here myself.

    Else farming locations who can drop expensive furniture mats.
    After server maintenance reset go to Cyrodil and look for Lost Imperial Notes who is used for Recipe: Colovian War Torte who sells for over an million. After reset help as nodes is also reset. Easier to see at night.

    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    I used to have 10 charterers at max craft level and level, All doing daily crafts, took 15-30min a day. The mats and surveys usually got me 1-2million a week.

    Now, i guess this no longer works the same, as mat prices have dropped significantly. Also, whilst getting a character at max craft level and level is real easy if you have some money. When you don't, it's a bit more of a grind.

    Now i have 20 characters but don't need to trade no more ^-^ well.... until i start working on my houses again ._.

    Daily Crafting Writs as mentioned above.

    If you are going to farm mats then make yourself a route in Craglorn because of the chance for Potent Nirn and Fortified Nirn which only drop there.

    If you are bored and wish just to relax work on your fishing achievements, filleting white fish can drop Perfect Roe which always sells well! Summerset fishing can drop Pyandonean Bottles, Apocrypha fishing can drop Abyss Drenched Folios and Solstice fishing can drop Algae-Laden Sunport Packs..... all of these can have nice sellable goodies in them! :)

    If you want the easiest option that would be gifting crowns for gold if you have gifting enabled. otherwise try fishing in Solstice and Apocrypha for the packs that drop crafting plans. Sell them DO NOT OPEN lol the chances of getting a plan especially the Solstice ones is super rare but people will still buy. Also the extra perfect roe is a bonus.

    It took me ages to work out how to get gold, now I'm mainly ok I think. Looting dwemer ruins is one of my fave things (in ESO and Skyrim) so I go into them almost daily at the moment for furniture stuff and also get motifs. Mainly though for regular gold I'm refining materials I've farmed every so often to make tempering alloy, dreugh wax and chromium plating. At the same time farming for essence of health materials then making those with alchemy gets gold easily too. You need the essence of health that restores each stat though and then gives 30% recovery. https://benevolentbowd.ca/games/esotu/eso-alchemy-essentials-essence-of-health-potion/

    You have to level up several crafting skills to be able to do this but if you do you can mostly relax farming every so often then get a decent amount of gold when needed by refining a bit + making some potions.

    The final thing that helps me but not as regularly is saving up pvp rewards from daily challenges then selling runeboxes, this can take weeks to get enough together though as the proofs you need are limited to one a day. I'm not going to recommend this as pvp isn't for everyone (and sometimes i leave it for a while too) but it's these in case you're wondering : https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Arena_Gladiator's_Proof

    The main thing I've seen suggested over the years when looking at this I think has been doing writs but I've never been interested, recently I started doing alchemy ones at times though so I might eventually do them more too.

    Sorry I was tired and that was a bit rambly back there. To give a quick example for dreugh wax though if you don't know (or to help anyone else) :

    In the clothing skills get tailoring to 10/10 so you can regularly farm ancestor silk. Also get keen eye: cloth levelled so you can see it easily and get unraveling to 3/3 so you can extract better mats. Then in the green champion points you want to go for meticulous disassembly to increase chances of better items + plentiful harvest so you get more mats from nodes.

    If you do similar for jewelry crafting if you have it + blacksmithing you can get several of a combination of dreugh wax/chromium plating/tempering alloy once you're refining around 150+ of a bunch of materials. Sometimes you get lucky too obviously and get more. I leave rosin mostly from wood because it doesn't sell for as much.

    A final thing, if you or anyone else likes looting urns/other related containers in dwemer ruins you should try this place if you haven't already, there's loads of them in here : https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Nchuthnkarst

    Find an activity that you enjoy doing and also has a side hustle. Enjoy killing mudcrabs or seeking the chitin for writs? Well guess what, it also drops leather. Both can net okay income though the xp is lower. Some style mats have high demand from the housing community, find an area you like to farm them. Enjoy picking locks/hunting treasure, more of the same. There are plenty of good xp spots that have side hustles to get some gold too beyond the mob gold/trash.

    If you've done the DLC dungeon hardmodes of the newer dungeons, those are good income. Many are 50-100k+, the new trial will start dropping motifs on the 13th I think.

    If you play regularly PVP, you get Rewards for the Worty every 15k AP or so. Once per day you get 25 transmutes guaranteed. Often more, depends on the count of reward boxes. I think, most Pvp-er are drowning in unopened Transmute stone geodes :)

    On the Transmute station you can transmute white crafted weapons (level 1, no special set needed) to nirnhoened trait (cost 50 TM each) and deconstruct then after. As higher you crafting skill is, the more Nirn krux you will get, which you can sell at guild vendor.

    I've been stealing. Pickpocketing, lockboxes, looting stolen items. There is a passive that allows to sell I believe 120 items a day per toon to a fence. Then passives that get you better quality stuff from pickpocketing. This leads into a bigger bit more frustrating business. Rare furnishings that come from pickpocketing and stealing. Alinor table runners or velothi triptychs immediately come to mind. While rare, they're there for the taking. Plus more.

    In the same vein, farming different areas for furnishing plans is a good way to make a buck. I just found the other day the redguard hanging sensor, bell. A rare plan with between half a million to a million gold. You just need to put in the time. It's frustrating but addictive. There's tons of videos on places and things to farm. Always remember to have good farming etiquette though. I've noticed a lot of rudeness lately doing materials farming runs and lockbox runs. Good luck.

    In the current economy, crafting dailies are doing well. But that’s a method for PC — everything else performs much worse.

    I edited my posts back there to change deconstructing to refining where I'd wrote it, got them mixed up sorry.

    I realised that most of what I was saying was probably already known anyway with dreugh wax, etc, as most will see those anyway once skills are levelled enough. The only reason i focus on them instead of the other mats is because I don't usually sell ancestor silk, rubedite ingot, etc, and just leave them building up in my craft bag unless I'm in real need of gold as it seems too much of a mess around for the gold it gets. Platinum ingots are at least worth more though so I'm selling those when I have some.
