Gold farming

[SABREWULF]

I've played ESO since nearly it's initial release but never got into making immense amounts of gold like I hear commonly from other players having 10+ mil averagely. I've never had more than 200,000 gold at once, whats an efficient and/or simple way to earn a lot of gold in-game? Any advice would help as I'm usually either doing dungeons and just selling all the loot or thieving in Hew's Bane but neither has made me a lot of gold on consistent bases.

None of what you mentioned.

If it's about farming, this stuff will give you good gold:

Everything about jewelry is valuable, especially chromium grains and plating. Even one single chromium plating is more worth than the gold you ever had and they usually sell quickly because of high demand. If you max your CP and crafting, you need about 200 jewelry nodes to get 1 chromium grain and you need 10 of them to get one plating.

PVP related stuff is valuable, especially because only few people play pvp regularly but you can get stuff from there which is valuable in PVE. Especially stuff like the powerful assault set (it is a good tanking set and the frost stuff sells really high!) Alliance Magicka potions (really high demand in the raiding community). Hakeijo Glyphs (best glyphs for tanks and in PVP, high cost, high demand).

A few alchemic ingredients like corn flowers (spell power potions, same effect als alliance potions, similar price) and dragon blood (heroism potions).

Then there are style pages which sell for high, too. The most efficient way to farm them is to do hard modes in dungeons with a good group. Especially of difficulty and new DLC dungeons, because only few people do / have done them but any style collector wants to complete them.

Farming jewelry (dolmen) and sometimes weapons (chests, bosses) of high demand overland sets, like mother sorrow. Which set is on high demand changes, when no proc was introduced the spinners garments weapon became really expensive, not sure if it is still.

I think this are the best farming options, now let's introduce some other options.

Selling achievement runs (no death, hard mode, speedruns or even trifecta), especially on difficult trials. We are speaking about millions for a single successful run.

Selling crowns, if you have ESO+, you already have some which you could sell. Also I think there are some people who just buy them with real money to be able to sell them for gold.

Selling fragments / rune chests of items which aren't obtainable in a easy way or at all. For example those from events if they don't reoccur.

Selling non obtainable stuff. Did you know that one of the highest priced items a glyph is that were once in the game but was removed later? Also there are special soul gems (small, lesser, greater, common ...), which got removed, too.

Observing the market is also a way to make gold, buy cheap, sell expensive, it's simple as that. Especially if you have a good trader (for example in vivic) you can buy cheap stuff at traders which are visited rarely and sell with a high price at a good trader.

A similar way is market manipulation, just buy everything of one item (you will need plenty of gold and it is somehow risky) and be the only one who sells those stuff for several times higher price.

Another easy way to get a decent gold supply are dailies, especially crafting dailies. They need almost no time (with the right addons) but will net you some gold each day on every crafting you did on every character you did. If you have 18 characters and would do them on everyone of them I guess you could earn about 100k gold each day, just by doing crafting dailies, which will provide you with a big amount of master writs and survey maps.

The survey maps will lead you to places where you can get a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of materials and each of them will usually give you at least one golden upgrade item like chromium grains.

And the master writs could be sold for additional gold or used to do them yourself to earn writ vouchers which would allow you to obtain items that sell really high.

But you should enter one or several trading guilds if you really want to make gold, because plenty of the mentioned stuff includes selling stuff. Also always fill your slots, even if you don't have enough valuable stuff, just fill the rest with trash like set items or White intrikat juwelry you get from crafting dailies, you wont make big gold with them but they still sell from time to time for more than on npcs and will supply additional gold.

Also collect anything and sell everything you have on mass or what isn't worth anything to others like soul gems and white gear to npcs (there are add-ons that can automate this to a degree). You won't get rich with that but it will add some income.

P.s. almost forgot about housing and furnishing. Everything here can sell for high too, just check prices for example here: https://www.tamrieltradecentre.com/

For me, learning how to sell thru a guild trader IS still the best/fastest way to earn gold.
Ive been in pcna for not even 2 years i've accumulated a sh!t ton lot of gold just by Consistently Listing And Selling stuff in my trader.
And my guild trader even an E tier trader out in the boondocks. Not from the popular Alliance capital traders (no, not even rawlka nor belkarth)

0. Always turn raw Ore, Wood, Cloth, Leather into main mats to get improvement mats.

1. Join a Trading Guiild. Sell mats and set gear(CP160) in Trading Guild.

2. Have as many alts as you can stand. Do a full set of crafting writs (7) on every charcter, every day. Get Surveys and give to your highest level gatherer. Get Mats. Sell improvement mats in Guild Trader.

3. Gather EVERYTHING out in the landscape while playing. Sell mats in Guild Trader.

4. Join Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood (to get Blade of Woe). Go to Palace locations (Orsinium is really good). Steal from every box, cupboard, chest in the place (if you get caught, wayshrine directly back to Gold Coast; clear path to Thieves Den to clear and sell). Sell everything in the Thieves Den EXCEPT for the scrolls that clear Heat.

5. Don't buy stuff from Guild Traders.

Good Luck!

Yeah it's crazy. Been playing since 2015 and never had 1 million at a given time. People in my main guild that started "recently" are always buying crowns with millions of gold and to me it's just crazy. Raids give me a lot of money through undaunted plunders but not nearly enough. Doesn't help that I'm not in a trading guild.
