I’m starting to realize that me and my friend, back when we played ESO, may have been super casuals. Our biggest priorities where dyeing our armor black, becoming werewolves and vampires (respectively), and runefarming. Gold was never a problem for us.
So my sister informed me of a big-brain move regarding re-setting survey locations. Preview a house you don't own. You "fast travel" away, and then exit and are put back where you were, re-setting the map, with less running around. Great for re-setting when you've got a stack of the same type of survey for a specific spot, or you want to re-fresh Alchemy nodes to trade cheep nodes into higher value items like buggloss and columbine.

I think RPing as a beggar might yield good GPS (gold per second) values. - Surveys: you can also preview an unowned house and then leave to reset the nodes. - Crafting: people often sell crafted stuff at a loss compared to raw material prices, so it's sometimes better to sell materials (for instance wood furnishings on EU)
Very true, you definitely have to be mindful of whether or not the crafted item that you are selling has a market value that is lower than the crafting cost. It's too bad that that's the case; I think that crafters should be compensated for their expertise, instead of losing money when selling crafted wares I didn't get around to mentioning that in some cases, stacks of materials can also sell much quicker than some of the items that you could craft with them - like you mentioned, heartwood would sell faster than wood-themed furnishings. Thanks for bringing it up
You can definitely roleplay as a beggar, as a new player I regularly got sent 100k and more (up to 500k) by random players when asking noob questions in zone chat xD
You are my favorite ESO content creator! Not only are you great at explaining concepts but you have an awesome sense of humor. You should do voice work!
Late but I made my first million gold years ago watching your videos as a guide! I started grinding out materials, making valuable potions and finding valuable gear
As a returning player (who played only a few months in 2017), thank you for this video. I have been doing writs daily for the last month but did not realize that there was a jewelry certification.
Arttea, you’re amazing. Your presentation and knowledge is second to none. Great content. Love watching all your videos. I always come away with something helpful. Thank you for that. 🙏
My first big money items were perfect roe and it was only worth like 20-25k back then. I would usually hit up fishing nodes I passed while questing, so perfect roe funded the purchase of my first house :3
Sign up for all the guilds you can as soon as you start playing. It might take a day or 2 to get in one but you will get in one. Anyway, just do it. People say fashion or housing is the real end game but for me it's trading. It's a never ending garage sale
Awesome new video! The gameplay and visuals were some of the best I've ever seen from ESO creators. I can definitely tell you put a lot of work into it. Keep up the great work!
Arttea, I absolutely love your videos. I've been learning so much about the economics and even game mechanics from you! Also have to mention the videos editing and your sense of humor are the best. Thank you!!
If you rank your crafting skills up to 10 before taking the quests from the daily writ trainers you can skip the annoying quests and they will certify you right away.
I just started selling stuff through a guild trader and I never know how much to sell stuff for...usually based on what other people sell it for LOL. You produce really great videos and content - three reasons 1) they are informative, 2) you add a bit of comedy, and 3) to be honest, I like the sound of your voice!
Making gold in this game is honestly one of the reasons I still play. Simply put, it's a lot of fun! As well, when you make that first couple million it shifts your perspective in many ways. Thanks Arttea for inspiring me to invest in the things I love.
I switched to Guild Wars 2 a while back but I still like watching these videos. I still have hope that Zenimax decides to respect players a bit more one day.
This is an excellent video for new players, I wish it was out when I started playing last July. The biggest mistakes I made as a new player was throwing away Mundane Runes and Decorative Wax to make space in my backpack (Don't do that, you can sell them for a decent price in Trading Guilds) and spending lots of gold to complete armor sets I found like Warrior Poet and War Maiden.
Another gold making method that I have used (Xbox NA) is chest farming in areas that don't have dolmens. The reason would obviously be for the jewelry. For example, I farm chests (which include mat rotations as well) in blackwood and can sell even green or blue jewelry for a good price. Both frostbite and DLA sell pretty good, and if you are lucky to get a purple drop, you're in great shape. I know blackwood is DLC and maybe not as helpful to new players but coldharbour is another one. Stygians is a well like nightblade set that you can sell both the jewelry and the armor pieces/weapons for a nice price. Note: I specified the jewelry, but armor pieces for well liked sets like DLA and frostbite still sell well if you need some filler for your sell slots. You may just have to be picky about the traits. I find chest farming more fun than just mat farming because I find chests because RNG is both frustrating and addictive, but I will admit that you probably want to up your legerdemain before doing chest runs and definitely have treasure hunter passive in green tree active.
As a new player I found it ironic.... I sucked with chests. So I discovered that skill and started working on it. I noticed chest were a decent way to level as u can only traffic a small amount. I'm like 140 a day now I think. So I started to open the chests I hated to level faster to get force lock... about 20 tries later on a master chest, I finally understood. Now I can pop masters on first try usually almost flawlessly. Abita annoyed my hatred for chests made me become a master. But I guess now I can quickly pop a chest without forcing
This is really good content. Practical and helpful. I have been playing ESO off and on for years and have been part of countless guilds and learned some new tips. Thank you.
Finally, a coherent ESO content creator. Thank you. Wow, UA-cam is really pushing the "bro" personality of other content creators for ESO for some reason.
This is the second time that I’ve come back to ESO after a long break and Arttea releases a great guide to remind me how to make gold on the same day. I’ll take this as a sign from the divines that my calling in this game is to get $, or to eRP, one of those, maybe both 🤔
I always find myself watching your videos even though i hate and don't even play ESO, I think that gives credit to how informative yet enjoyable your videos are. Keep up the great work.
Great tips. I started by selling anything I couldn’t use (to vendors)😢 I just recently watched this video and followed your advice to join a trading guild. I haven’t sold anything yet but has come in handy when it comes to things I need for my writs. Thanks for the informative video.
Solid vid! I think I started with both harvesting matts and farming gear...*memories of when footmans sold for stonks and stacks of alchemy matts were pittance* Fun seeing some of your alts fashion here too!😊
The best way I found making gold while leveling with a starter character, is to ask someone to take you to all three anchors in Alik’r desert. And just keep rotating anchors until your inventory is full. And either summon your assistant or go to a merchant and sell everything. Then do it all over again! It’s a great wait to level while farming at the same time. It’s not the best money maker, but it’s not bad either.
I just started and I’m blown away by the amount of content there is for some reason I thought the game was just Skyrim again but you see other online players but it’s like 3times new Skyrim with all new stuff I’m definitely overwhelmed and trying to just level naturally and selling armor I don’t use I definitely suck at crafting and want to get better for sure
Im earning gold while doing pvp but it toook me sooo loooong to actually find a way to make some gold in a way that i find fun, i really hope vids like this help people :) what really helped to get some gold in was finding a guild that's got their trader in one of the better trading places, such as mournhold, grahtwood, stormhaven, rawlkha, vvardenfel or even craglorn
Another good way to passively earn good stuff to sell when you mainly like to "kill things in eso" is to get your alchemy up at least enough so you can get higher level solvents. At least for xbox NA, you can make much more profit selling even just slime or gall over grease, ichor, or allkests. I personally keep my solvent proficiency at 5 and I'm literally like the only one or one of like 2 or 3 people selling purified water and pitch bile in my 4 traders guilds. Of course the crafting build can have max alchemy proficiency, but just save like 2 or 3 skill points to allocate to your fighting build (via armory for new players who don't know) on your main toons.
love the videos even as an experienced player its nice to get some more tips on making gold (builds cost a fortune these days)... i started with dolmens, then pvp (easy way to make gold through pvp only items or GV)...then i found out about public dungeon farming (especially blackreach that helped loads)....also "they maybe old, and the quality shite" im still laughing now🤣🤣
Fishing & selling raw fish for 600-700g (PC NA) via guild trader was my first jackpot realization. Once you have financial stability you can then afford to risk filletting the fish for a shot at a Perfect Roe, then either selling it as a mat or crafting it into something specific which is more valuable. Flipping items is also key, MM helps with that immensely. When in doubt, remember - people always need crafting materials, especially in crafting / daily writ hubs such as Vivec City.
Have made one and only one money making video (just on what i do, not really a guide lol) and it was on my favorite money making daily quests because writs can go die in a hole. Great video as usual! I just checked your channel yesterday to see where the economy queen is and here you are lol.
A cheeky comment to support the video. Haven't watched it yet but will check bit later, just for the memes and chill, well-made ESO content. Keep it up 🙏
Unrelated to the topic but the editing in this video had me giggling so much. Great upload, and thanks for teaching my ignorant ass how to make money after playing this game for almost a decade.😅
I never cared about Trading bacause trading is more complicated then it needs to be and you have to travel from town to town, just to find someone that sells the items you need... it sucks. Trading Guilds suck to. I play casualy, and it's not rare, that i leave the game for 2 weeks up to 2 month, so i have to find a new guild, every time i decide to come back. My main Guild doesn't care, but all the Trading-Guilds do. So i stopped looking for one. Why can't there be just an Auctionhouse on every map? I just started to provide myself with the items i need and craft everything by myself. :D
Very nice video again! A pity, that I had to figure out almost everything by myself the time I began playing way back in 2014. The new players now are lucky to have your videos as guidance. I still remember trying to explain a friend how to research traits, and why she can't craft sets because she hasn't researched enough of them. There were so many misconceptions back then... Not a very well explained system by ZOS, really. I tried to make myself less dependent from gold, by farming transmutes. The most money I spent in those early years were mainly buying gear and repairing them. Constant struggle... Not having to buy sets now, because of the sticker book system, is a game changer. Now I can spend all my gold on houses, furnishings and recipies. So sad, that I am on PC EU, so I can't join your guild. It would be so awesome to learn those flipping items tricks from you. 😄 I will never have enough gold to buy crown crates so. (I have only ca. 56 millions now, and the crown/gold exchange rate is abysmal.)
A few thoughts to make it easier for all players of every level to use the trade system to make gold Centralized the trade system in an auction house. Continue to require membership to trade guilds to list. Trade guilds still have to bid for spots on the exchange to prevent a free-for-all. Just ditch the traveling requirement. It's exhausting to run around to multiple traders only to find they've all sold out of the item your looking for. Or require travel to only to faction capitals to do business on the central exchange. Give tools in the exchange ui to exclude extremely high and low prices. To get a better idea of a real average value. TTC is a decent tool but it can use some of refinement. Create a job board where people can post specific items they want like furniture or materials to create a crafter specific trade system.
I left and came back, been playing for two months now and I’m finally biting the bullet and decided to watch a guide so I can get back into my old flow, and boom you post a video. Thank you for acting as a vessel for the spirits of elder scrolls, I wonder what you are on the other side?
Just found ur channel, super helpful thank youuuuuu 😊Now one of 2 ESO creators that I can enjoy learning from, gonna check out more of ur stufff… I just wanna deep dive into the game
so when i first started eso i desperately wanted the imperial motif because i thought that it was the best looking armor. not really sure how it happened but i ended up joining a pyramid scheme where i would run around the bal foyen resource loop and then instead of listing it on the auction house i would send them to some player and he would pay me a certain amount of gold for the amount of wood or metal i harvested. good memories
I just started playing, I'm still level 25, and joining a trade guild was the best advice I've gotten from this channel. As a free player who's properly limited with inventory space. First thing is to get your bank and bag upgrades. Since I still don't have access to motifs and don't know what they are, best bet is to sell crafting items. But item flipping is the way to go. I had 5k gold, and my bank upgrade was 20k. In one night, I flipped some items and made a 100k. Only limitation to the free player again when flipping is that you might see your life's biggest flip opportunity from TTC but you'll not be able to visit that guild trader because you don't have the expansion. Happy trading.
Oh wow, nice job on the flip! Usually beginner players aren't comfortable enough with the notion of flipping, so that's really impressive, especially given your profit margin! Keep it up and happy trading! :)
@@Arttea Yea, it is definitely scary. It was either make enough gold to buy off Zenimax itself, or end up role playing a hobo in some town asking peeps to spare some coin. But when a very generous soul decides to sell a stack of 30 Heartwood for 500 Gold, there's little risk involved. xD Thanks to you, I have my eyes on heartwood, mundane rune, decorative wax and deadlands scrolls all the time. haha cheers
5:48 so should I keep my skill line not upgraded or does it upgrade the materials I need automatically as my skill level goes higher and now based on point put in
Love your videos. I am always excited to watch em and sometimes I just let em play in the background while playing. I have a question completly unrelated to the content of the video tho. What is that bow motif at 1:52 ? I have been searching for it ever since I started to watch your videos. Thank you for making great content.
I really appreciate the support!! Ah that is my favourite bow style (if you couldn't tell by now lol) That is the Domihaus bow style from the Domihaus arms pack. It's not in the crown store at the moment, unfortunately, as those monster arms packs are added on rotation.
When I’ve farmed surveys, I have noticed if you transport to a house that you DO NOT OWN and then leave right away it resets the survey. I’ve knocked out 10+ of the same survey in an like 20min.
Yeah it's a nice amount of gold to receive, plus the crafting materials that you get are My brain starts to get a little friend after the 8th character though Although, I've been doing writs lately while listening to an audiobook, and that has been nice
Thank you soo much for this video and I'll get started on your other videos i just started playing three days ago and watched some Adam video, but I was even more confused than ever, so when I happened on your video WHOA! What a difference. Thank you for your time in creating these videos and I will be looking forward to more assistance in playing more efficiently. You're my New explainer of all things of how and what to craft from now on! hehe just kidding but would like to know more. ty Subbed!!!
When I first started playing I actually didn’t really focus on making gold. I would just save up/wait for those rare 100k daily login rewards… It wasn’t until I started getting into the fashion side of things that I realized I needed to start making gold asap! So I ended up joining a guild with a trader and I would farm daily world boss motifs, specifically annihilarch. Eventually I evolved into a mat/pvp gear set farmer/peddler xD. I really wish I had started taking screenshots earlier cause my fashion was very questionable, but I look back on it fondly still. The outfit that I put together with my first rounds of ‘major’ stonks included daggerfall covenant heavy helmet and the welkynar cuirass dyed in one color either nirnroot gray or coldharbour ash black.
Another awesome and informative video Arttea! Sadly I do not play ESO anymore (due to the direction I feel the games taking) but I will always be popping by for your new content to show support. Im currently really enjoying Guild Wars 2, the world of Tyria has really enveloped me.
Outside of gold mats from writs, I used to do the elsweyr quests to sell kitty litter aka shimmering sand. Also because most of the overland drops there kinda suck people would sell the pieces on the trader for dirt cheap and you could decon them to profit on the sand lol.
my first foray into making gold was actually selling intricates. It was but a pittance, they sold quick and we're a great filler for my trader spots when I was lower level!
I gotta answer that question at the end. So i play ESO on xbox (not really a pc gamer). i have several characters, none at champion rank cuz im casual af. But i just transfered money and worthwhile items i could to my bank which transfers over to each character i made and i just kinda sold stuff that way on my main character
I started some months ago, still haven't join a guild. I was in lotro a long time ago and it seems it is easier to make money but i don't know what to do with them as i mostly solo around. I still remember the first days trying to figure out where the auction house is.
Such a good and informative video, unfortunately it made it real clear i need to use brain cells if I want gold for inventory space. I thought the game would be similar to other bethesda games where you loot stuff and grind mobs, do quests and get money by basically being a raider and get stronger by taking the drops of enemies that scale. Then eventually get to the mmo aspect where lootable gear reaches its soft cap and isnt enough for difficult events or bosses, then finally we need to craft our own gear and all that, but by then we realize that we only have enough resources to craft a few pieces and we need to grind even more for a full set. Dreams shattered.
Random question, how are you able to use the old PC UI instead of the updated one? I started playing again recently and it looks like they changed everything and made the console port the default UI setting.
I'm just coming back to ESO and UA-cam popped this video up in my feed. Excellent watch - makes me kind of sad I actually collected everything that I could before leaving the game... I don't suppose there is a way to un-collect an item huh 🙃
I found you through these other content "creators". Those dinks getting away with thievery and no acknowledgements. If you show me the videos I'll make a fuss in their comment section(s). PS. appreciate the effort you put into these vids
Oooo I remmeber milking that Deshan inferno staff so much last year. It was a good year, lol. When I started playing ESO I was leveling up my crafting super quickly and then selling all the gold mats without thinking that I will need them for my gear Was not fun times buying all back for increased prixe XD
Easy way to make money in ESO, buy the diagram daedric fence section in a trader for 120gp, sell it for millions :) Which would bring me to the the most valuable point I can make, know the value of the shit you pick up playing the game and sell it... I havent actually decided yet if I want to sell or eat that plan.
I definitely second that - players should definitely make an effort to know the value of the items that they pick up, lest they end up learning some diagram worth millions or deconstructing a piece of gear that could have sold for a fortune It does take a bit of effort, but it's so worth it
@@Arttea On PC with add ons should be easy peasy. Us console players have to put in a lot more effort. My advice for console players is to go to mournhold and search the traders there to price check your goodies.
Oh my dear, Role Playing 'can' get you off to a good start to be honest. I remember all those many moons ago in WoW in the starter zone of my Dwarf Hunter shooing off a human Paladin with tell 'Ye longer-legger are on me land... Get ya smelly boots out ae here back tae Stormwind, hé' And he started laughing and gave me 5 gold, which was back then a small fortune when people were still farming to unlock flying for a huge fortune of 5k. Ever since in every MMo, I try it when I start out and I usually get results to start me off in a comfy fashion. :)
The only probl3m is that for a new player it's still daunting because all the trade guilds require you to pay dues and those dues start right after joining even before you earn any gold
That is not true - not *all* trading guilds require dues. The one that I manage doesn't! My understanding is that if you join a guild that has dues, you are expected to pay those dues weekly. So a brand new guildie is not expected to pay gold the SECOND they join a guild, but rather by the end of the week. Some guilds that require dues even give brand new guildies a one or two-week grace period to give them some time to settle in and earn gold before they are expected to pay any dues. I recommend brand new players/traders join a more casual trading guild first that does not have any dues at all. Much like how brand new players would have a hard time joining a vet trial HM prog group, it's fair that new traders may struggle to meet the requirements for some of the elite trading guilds that are out there, and thus, they should start small and work their way up. The reality is that, for a LOT of guilds, dues are absolutely necessary to afford their traders, but there are many alternatives out there for players who are not yet able to help out their guild (like joining more casual guilds that do not require dues).
I’m a vet player.. I’ve got loads of gold and enjoy watching your guides as there is always something that reminds me of something I forgot.. but my question to you is what do you do with your gold at end game other than buying mats to gold your gear out
Pvp is a fairly costly endeavour; so purchasing sets for the shifting metas is another gold sink. A lot of veteran traders also use their hefty sums of gold to purchase motifs and housing items (which is partially why the “fashion/housing is endgame” phrase exists haha). Many also purchase crown items for gold via a crown exchange service. I use my extra gold to fund my guild’s trader and fund guild initiatives, like contests and giveaways!
Perhaps someone can help: My guild problem is buying. I press R to see the stock, then do a search and nothing ever shows up from a search. Ever. From any guild trader anywhere. I can see an entire list of items on the right but am not able to use the functions below the search to narrow the area of search. Does anyone have any idea why I can not use the search function at guild traders? Thanks in advance
Hello! I know this is 9 months old but I really liked the video and was wondering what your guild is for trading? I just realized im incredibly broke in game living off of 10k and I would like to start making money. I started around like 3 weeks ago got to level 50, but would love to learn more! if your guild is still accepting people
I earned gold by flipping when I first started truly focusing on making gold. But now, as a returning player i cant for the life if me do it like I used to. What happened 💔
I need more gold but just for armor glyphs and foods lol. Have my sets done other than upgrading them to gold. My daggers are gold already. Both precise :)
You can, but not until you bind all of the other gear from Deshaan. Upon doing this, your RNG will return to “normal”, and will no longer be curated to give you gear that you do not yet have (since you have everything from that zone). Hope that makes sense!
I’m starting to realize that me and my friend, back when we played ESO, may have been super casuals. Our biggest priorities where dyeing our armor black, becoming werewolves and vampires (respectively), and runefarming. Gold was never a problem for us.

This is an excellent video for new players, I wish it was out when I started playing last July. The biggest mistakes I made as a new player was throwing away Mundane Runes and Decorative Wax to make space in my backpack (Don't do that, you can sell them for a decent price in Trading Guilds) and spending lots of gold to complete armor sets I found like Warrior Poet and War Maiden.
Noooooo I remember you mentioning this in the server hahah
I’ve been doing that. 😢
Another gold making method that I have used (Xbox NA) is chest farming in areas that don't have dolmens. The reason would obviously be for the jewelry. For example, I farm chests (which include mat rotations as well) in blackwood and can sell even green or blue jewelry for a good price. Both frostbite and DLA sell pretty good, and if you are lucky to get a purple drop, you're in great shape. I know blackwood is DLC and maybe not as helpful to new players but coldharbour is another one. Stygians is a well like nightblade set that you can sell both the jewelry and the armor pieces/weapons for a nice price.
Note: I specified the jewelry, but armor pieces for well liked sets like DLA and frostbite still sell well if you need some filler for your sell slots. You may just have to be picky about the traits.
I find chest farming more fun than just mat farming because I find chests because RNG is both frustrating and addictive, but I will admit that you probably want to up your legerdemain before doing chest runs and definitely have treasure hunter passive in green tree active.
As a new player I found it ironic.... I sucked with chests. So I discovered that skill and started working on it. I noticed chest were a decent way to level as u can only traffic a small amount. I'm like 140 a day now I think. So I started to open the chests I hated to level faster to get force lock... about 20 tries later on a master chest, I finally understood. Now I can pop masters on first try usually almost flawlessly. Abita annoyed my hatred for chests made me become a master. But I guess now I can quickly pop a chest without forcing
For a game people keep telling me is dead you have great views, good for you girly. We luv you
Thank you so much my friend tried explaining some of this stuff to me before but I feel like I just now understood what I actually need to do
ty for this upload! i took a long break from eso & i’m finally gonna get back into it so it’s good to have videos like these as a refresher 🖤
This is really good content. Practical and helpful. I have been playing ESO off and on for years and have been part of countless guilds and learned some new tips. Thank you.
Finally, a coherent ESO content creator. Thank you. Wow, UA-cam is really pushing the "bro" personality of other content creators for ESO for some reason.
This is the second time that I’ve come back to ESO after a long break and Arttea releases a great guide to remind me how to make gold on the same day.
I’ll take this as a sign from the divines that my calling in this game is to get $, or to eRP, one of those, maybe both 🤔
I always find myself watching your videos even though i hate and don't even play ESO, I think that gives credit to how informative yet enjoyable your videos are. Keep up the great work.
I did not know about that Daily Writ cool down on motifs! Thanks, Artea! 💯
Yea np! Knowing that comes in real handy when you're looking to farm overland motifs for the zones that are affected by those cooldowns!
Your voice sounds so different now! I just started playing this again after some years off. I used to watch your videos all the time before. ❤
I have a much better mic now haha
Great tips. I started by selling anything I couldn’t use (to vendors)😢 I just recently watched this video and followed your advice to join a trading guild. I haven’t sold anything yet but has come in handy when it comes to things I need for my writs. Thanks for the informative video.
Solid vid! I think I started with both harvesting matts and farming gear...*memories of when footmans sold for stonks and stacks of alchemy matts were pittance* Fun seeing some of your alts fashion here too!😊
The best way I found making gold while leveling with a starter character, is to ask someone to take you to all three anchors in Alik’r desert. And just keep rotating anchors until your inventory is full. And either summon your assistant or go to a merchant and sell everything. Then do it all over again! It’s a great wait to level while farming at the same time. It’s not the best money maker, but it’s not bad either.
Subbed for the clam simplicity and humility, which seems to be in short supply in the ESO community.
I just started and I’m blown away by the amount of content there is for some reason I thought the game was just Skyrim again but you see other online players but it’s like 3times new Skyrim with all new stuff I’m definitely overwhelmed and trying to just level naturally and selling armor I don’t use I definitely suck at crafting and want to get better for sure
Im earning gold while doing pvp but it toook me sooo loooong to actually find a way to make some gold in a way that i find fun, i really hope vids like this help people :) what really helped to get some gold in was finding a guild that's got their trader in one of the better trading places, such as mournhold, grahtwood, stormhaven, rawlkha, vvardenfel or even craglorn
A new Arttea video!? Hell yeah
Another good way to passively earn good stuff to sell when you mainly like to "kill things in eso" is to get your alchemy up at least enough so you can get higher level solvents. At least for xbox NA, you can make much more profit selling even just slime or gall over grease, ichor, or allkests. I personally keep my solvent proficiency at 5 and I'm literally like the only one or one of like 2 or 3 people selling purified water and pitch bile in my 4 traders guilds. Of course the crafting build can have max alchemy proficiency, but just save like 2 or 3 skill points to allocate to your fighting build (via armory for new players who don't know) on your main toons.
love the videos even as an experienced player its nice to get some more tips on making gold (builds cost a fortune these days)... i started with dolmens, then pvp (easy way to make gold through pvp only items or GV)...then i found out about public dungeon farming (especially blackreach that helped loads)....also "they maybe old, and the quality shite" im still laughing now🤣🤣
Fishing & selling raw fish for 600-700g (PC NA) via guild trader was my first jackpot realization. Once you have financial stability you can then afford to risk filletting the fish for a shot at a Perfect Roe, then either selling it as a mat or crafting it into something specific which is more valuable.
Flipping items is also key, MM helps with that immensely.
When in doubt, remember - people always need crafting materials, especially in crafting / daily writ hubs such as Vivec City.
Been a while since I’ve seen one of your videos glad to see you still working hard making great content 👍
Heyy! Been a while since I've heard from ya! Thanks for the support and I hope you're doing well
The coffer motif was crazy I got two style pages in dealands back to back from two separate daily the same day lol
Have made one and only one money making video (just on what i do, not really a guide lol) and it was on my favorite money making daily quests because writs can go die in a hole.
Great video as usual! I just checked your channel yesterday to see where the economy queen is and here you are lol.
A cheeky comment to support the video.
Haven't watched it yet but will check bit later, just for the memes and chill, well-made ESO content. Keep it up 🙏
Started playing this week. I’ll be using your advice, directly from YOUR vids. 👍 no more plagiarizers getting my screen time.
I’ve really played the game in awhile so this video helped me a lot. Also I’m enjoying your content so far😊.
Unrelated to the topic but the editing in this video had me giggling so much. Great upload, and thanks for teaching my ignorant ass how to make money after playing this game for almost a decade.😅
Love your eso stonks videos
Thanks gamer
I never cared about Trading bacause trading is more complicated then it needs to be and you have to travel from town to town, just to find someone that sells the items you need... it sucks. Trading Guilds suck to. I play casualy, and it's not rare, that i leave the game for 2 weeks up to 2 month, so i have to find a new guild, every time i decide to come back. My main Guild doesn't care, but all the Trading-Guilds do. So i stopped looking for one.
Why can't there be just an Auctionhouse on every map?
I just started to provide myself with the items i need and craft everything by myself. :D
Agreed on auction house. Console ESO sucks, imo.
Very nice video again! A pity, that I had to figure out almost everything by myself the time I began playing way back in 2014. The new players now are lucky to have your videos as guidance. I still remember trying to explain a friend how to research traits, and why she can't craft sets because she hasn't researched enough of them. There were so many misconceptions back then... Not a very well explained system by ZOS, really.
I tried to make myself less dependent from gold, by farming transmutes. The most money I spent in those early years were mainly buying gear and repairing them. Constant struggle... Not having to buy sets now, because of the sticker book system, is a game changer. Now I can spend all my gold on houses, furnishings and recipies.
So sad, that I am on PC EU, so I can't join your guild. It would be so awesome to learn those flipping items tricks from you. 😄 I will never have enough gold to buy crown crates so. (I have only ca. 56 millions now, and the crown/gold exchange rate is abysmal.)
There is another method, RMT, you can buy 20 Million Gold for very cheap and be set for life just saying, that market is not talked about at all
Love your videos, voice, mannerisms, humor, wit. Pretty sure you could make a video on the chemistry and physics of paint drying and I would love it.
A few thoughts to make it easier for all players of every level to use the trade system to make gold
Centralized the trade system in an auction house. Continue to require membership to trade guilds to list. Trade guilds still have to bid for spots on the exchange to prevent a free-for-all. Just ditch the traveling requirement. It's exhausting to run around to multiple traders only to find they've all sold out of the item your looking for. Or require travel to only to faction capitals to do business on the central exchange.
Give tools in the exchange ui to exclude extremely high and low prices. To get a better idea of a real average value.
TTC is a decent tool but it can use some of refinement.
Create a job board where people can post specific items they want like furniture or materials to create a crafter specific trade system.
I left and came back, been playing for two months now and I’m finally biting the bullet and decided to watch a guide so I can get back into my old flow, and boom you post a video. Thank you for acting as a vessel for the spirits of elder scrolls, I wonder what you are on the other side?
Love how you are looking out for the new player's!
Just found ur channel, super helpful thank youuuuuu 😊Now one of 2 ESO creators that I can enjoy learning from, gonna check out more of ur stufff… I just wanna deep dive into the game
so when i first started eso i desperately wanted the imperial motif because i thought that it was the best looking armor. not really sure how it happened but i ended up joining a pyramid scheme where i would run around the bal foyen resource loop and then instead of listing it on the auction house i would send them to some player and he would pay me a certain amount of gold for the amount of wood or metal i harvested. good memories
Thank you for this! I've been struggling to figure out how to make more gold
I just started playing, I'm still level 25, and joining a trade guild was the best advice I've gotten from this channel. As a free player who's properly limited with inventory space. First thing is to get your bank and bag upgrades. Since I still don't have access to motifs and don't know what they are, best bet is to sell crafting items. But item flipping is the way to go. I had 5k gold, and my bank upgrade was 20k. In one night, I flipped some items and made a 100k. Only limitation to the free player again when flipping is that you might see your life's biggest flip opportunity from TTC but you'll not be able to visit that guild trader because you don't have the expansion. Happy trading.
Oh wow, nice job on the flip! Usually beginner players aren't comfortable enough with the notion of flipping, so that's really impressive, especially given your profit margin! Keep it up and happy trading! :)
@@Arttea Yea, it is definitely scary. It was either make enough gold to buy off Zenimax itself, or end up role playing a hobo in some town asking peeps to spare some coin. But when a very generous soul decides to sell a stack of 30 Heartwood for 500 Gold, there's little risk involved. xD
Thanks to you, I have my eyes on heartwood, mundane rune, decorative wax and deadlands scrolls all the time. haha
cheers
5:48 so should I keep my skill line not upgraded or does it upgrade the materials I need automatically as my skill level goes higher and now based on point put in
Love your videos. I am always excited to watch em and sometimes I just let em play in the background while playing. I have a question completly unrelated to the content of the video tho. What is that bow motif at 1:52 ? I have been searching for it ever since I started to watch your videos. Thank you for making great content.
I really appreciate the support!!
Ah that is my favourite bow style (if you couldn't tell by now lol) That is the Domihaus bow style from the Domihaus arms pack. It's not in the crown store at the moment, unfortunately, as those monster arms packs are added on rotation.
@@Arttea Thank you so much, then I will be on the lookout for when it comes out again. ♥
When I’ve farmed surveys, I have noticed if you transport to a house that you DO NOT OWN and then
leave right away it resets the survey. I’ve knocked out 10+ of the same survey in an like 20min.
8 characters x 5000ish gold each= 40,000 a day... it's worth it (daily writs)
Yeah it's a nice amount of gold to receive, plus the crafting materials that you get are My brain starts to get a little friend after the 8th character though Although, I've been doing writs lately while listening to an audiobook, and that has been nice
thank you for your great vids. clear and helpful for a new player
Hey guys! Kinda wondering, I joined a Trading Guild but I was wondering does the Trader location affect a lot my sales? Thanks to anyone who answers
Thank you soo much for this video and I'll get started on your other videos i just started playing three days ago and watched some Adam video, but I was even more confused than ever, so when I happened on your video WHOA! What a difference. Thank you for your time in creating these videos and I will be looking forward to more assistance in playing more efficiently.
You're my New explainer of all things of how and what to craft from now on! hehe just kidding but would like to know more. ty
Subbed!!!
When I first started playing I actually didn’t really focus on making gold. I would just save up/wait for those rare 100k daily login rewards…
It wasn’t until I started getting into the fashion side of things that I realized I needed to start making gold asap! So I ended up joining a guild with a trader and I would farm daily world boss motifs, specifically annihilarch. Eventually I evolved into a mat/pvp gear set farmer/peddler xD.
I really wish I had started taking screenshots earlier cause my fashion was very questionable, but I look back on it fondly still.
The outfit that I put together with my first rounds of ‘major’ stonks included daggerfall covenant heavy helmet and the welkynar cuirass dyed in one color either nirnroot gray or coldharbour ash black.
Another awesome and informative video Arttea!
Sadly I do not play ESO anymore (due to the direction I feel the games taking) but I will always be popping by for your new content to show support.
Im currently really enjoying Guild Wars 2, the world of Tyria has really enveloped me.
And what direction would that be?
I wish Guild Wars was on console but I do play it occasionally on my PC. A much better way for me as a PvE soloer to be prosperous.
Outside of gold mats from writs, I used to do the elsweyr quests to sell kitty litter aka shimmering sand. Also because most of the overland drops there kinda suck people would sell the pieces on the trader for dirt cheap and you could decon them to profit on the sand lol.
my first foray into making gold was actually selling intricates. It was but a pittance, they sold quick and we're a great filler for my trader spots when I was lower level!
Normal questing is also a decent way to get some gold as long as you kill most enemies you see. It also lets you complete zones.
Hey Arttea, I keep checking the guilder finder on pcna and never see TTS guild. How may I get an invite?
Absolutely, start researching asap immediately lvl 1 lol,
I gotta answer that question at the end.
So i play ESO on xbox (not really a pc gamer). i have several characters, none at champion rank cuz im casual af. But i just transfered money and worthwhile items i could to my bank which transfers over to each character i made and i just kinda sold stuff that way on my main character
I started some months ago, still haven't join a guild. I was in lotro a long time ago and it seems it is easier to make money but i don't know what to do with them as i mostly solo around. I still remember the first days trying to figure out where the auction house is.
Oooh I tried out LOTRO a while back and really enjoyed my time there! If only there were more hours in the day - I would definitely play it more often
Such a good and informative video, unfortunately it made it real clear i need to use brain cells if I want gold for inventory space. I thought the game would be similar to other bethesda games where you loot stuff and grind mobs, do quests and get money by basically being a raider and get stronger by taking the drops of enemies that scale. Then eventually get to the mmo aspect where lootable gear reaches its soft cap and isnt enough for difficult events or bosses, then finally we need to craft our own gear and all that, but by then we realize that we only have enough resources to craft a few pieces and we need to grind even more for a full set. Dreams shattered.
But how do i know what items i should craft? There are many styles. And how should i know what price i should charge?
super Thanx for the video, it's fun and full of info... cheers
Random question, how are you able to use the old PC UI instead of the updated one? I started playing again recently and it looks like they changed everything and made the console port the default UI setting.
Very well done. Informative and entertaining.
I liked your style at 17:14 What is that set
I'm just coming back to ESO and UA-cam popped this video up in my feed. Excellent watch - makes me kind of sad I actually collected everything that I could before leaving the game... I don't suppose there is a way to un-collect an item huh 🙃
wanna know the nice thing about an auction house? its not locked behind guilds
I found you through these other content "creators". Those dinks getting away with thievery and no acknowledgements.
If you show me the videos I'll make a fuss in their comment section(s).
PS. appreciate the effort you put into these vids
Oooo I remmeber milking that Deshan inferno staff so much last year. It was a good year, lol.
When I started playing ESO I was leveling up my crafting super quickly and then selling all the gold mats without thinking that I will need them for my gear
Was not fun times buying all back for increased prixe XD
Crafting is my favorite part of this game 9:00
The animal crossing talking sound effects was fucking hilarious
Easy way to make money in ESO, buy the diagram daedric fence section in a trader for 120gp, sell it for millions :) Which would bring me to the the most valuable point I can make, know the value of the shit you pick up playing the game and sell it... I havent actually decided yet if I want to sell or eat that plan.
I definitely second that - players should definitely make an effort to know the value of the items that they pick up, lest they end up learning some diagram worth millions or deconstructing a piece of gear that could have sold for a fortune It does take a bit of effort, but it's so worth it
@@Arttea On PC with add ons should be easy peasy. Us console players have to put in a lot more effort. My advice for console players is to go to mournhold and search the traders there to price check your goodies.
I have a crafter with every trait. Researching those last traits was painful. 29days wow!
29 days for each piece and you can only load 3 pieces at a time - owwwwch!
Oh my dear, Role Playing 'can' get you off to a good start to be honest. I remember all those many moons ago in WoW in the starter zone of my Dwarf Hunter shooing off a human Paladin with tell 'Ye longer-legger are on me land... Get ya smelly boots out ae here back tae Stormwind, hé' And he started laughing and gave me 5 gold, which was back then a small fortune when people were still farming to unlock flying for a huge fortune of 5k. Ever since in every MMo, I try it when I start out and I usually get results to start me off in a comfy fashion. :)
fishing remains my go to method for gold.
The only probl3m is that for a new player it's still daunting because all the trade guilds require you to pay dues and those dues start right after joining even before you earn any gold
That is not true - not *all* trading guilds require dues. The one that I manage doesn't!
My understanding is that if you join a guild that has dues, you are expected to pay those dues weekly. So a brand new guildie is not expected to pay gold the SECOND they join a guild, but rather by the end of the week. Some guilds that require dues even give brand new guildies a one or two-week grace period to give them some time to settle in and earn gold before they are expected to pay any dues.
I recommend brand new players/traders join a more casual trading guild first that does not have any dues at all. Much like how brand new players would have a hard time joining a vet trial HM prog group, it's fair that new traders may struggle to meet the requirements for some of the elite trading guilds that are out there, and thus, they should start small and work their way up.
The reality is that, for a LOT of guilds, dues are absolutely necessary to afford their traders, but there are many alternatives out there for players who are not yet able to help out their guild (like joining more casual guilds that do not require dues).
I have a crazy amount of mats. Should probably sell them as I don't do crafting exceept for upgrading gear tiers.
I’m a vet player.. I’ve got loads of gold and enjoy watching your guides as there is always something that reminds me of something I forgot.. but my question to you is what do you do with your gold at end game other than buying mats to gold your gear out
Pvp is a fairly costly endeavour; so purchasing sets for the shifting metas is another gold sink. A lot of veteran traders also use their hefty sums of gold to purchase motifs and housing items (which is partially why the “fashion/housing is endgame” phrase exists haha). Many also purchase crown items for gold via a crown exchange service. I use my extra gold to fund my guild’s trader and fund guild initiatives, like contests and giveaways!
Perhaps someone can help: My guild problem is buying. I press R to see the stock, then do a search and nothing ever shows up from a search. Ever. From any guild trader anywhere. I can see an entire list of items on the right but am not able to use the functions below the search to narrow the area of search. Does anyone have any idea why I can not use the search function at guild traders? Thanks in advance
Is the addon Lost Treasure controller friendly? I know a lot of addons are not.
Hello! I know this is 9 months old but I really liked the video and was wondering what your guild is for trading? I just realized im incredibly broke in game living off of 10k and I would like to start making money. I started around like 3 weeks ago got to level 50, but would love to learn more! if your guild is still accepting people
I earned gold by flipping when I first started truly focusing on making gold. But now, as a returning player i cant for the life if me do it like I used to. What happened 💔
GREAT info, quality tips. ty
I need more gold but just for armor glyphs and foods lol. Have my sets done other than upgrading them to gold. My daggers are gold already. Both precise :)
if you have binded a mother's sorrow staff, can you still get it from drops? 15:28
You can, but not until you bind all of the other gear from Deshaan. Upon doing this, your RNG will return to “normal”, and will no longer be curated to give you gear that you do not yet have (since you have everything from that zone). Hope that makes sense!
