If I google "should I vendor or decon my loot in ESO?" this video should be at the very top of the list. You're the only person who has given a clear answer to this question. Thank you. I wish the search engine gods would make this easier to find.
As well as the information being very handy and valuable, I also watch your vids because the visuals are stunning. So glad I came across your channel! Thank you!
Thank YOU for the support! :D I really enjoy putting together little visual stories to add to the background of these videos. The reshade that I am using also takes my footage to the next level, so shout out to the dev of Royale Reshade! :)
Girl, you keep at it and I promise, you’re on track to be one of the top ESO UA-camrs in the near future Always stoked to see such quality information amongst a sea of bs
Binge watching all your videos this is quality content + easy to understand especially for newer players like myself! and on top of that your voice is pure asmr i love it keep it coming.
Great video! Also, that intro was great. Around 2 days ago I was on the pts talking to a friend about people accidentally upgrading their crafted gear to gold and not realizing that they forgot the trait. While I was doing this, I preceded to deconstruct some gear that I crafted instead of improving it. At least it was on the pts.
Oh my god that's hilarious! Good thing it was on the PTS, I would have cried if something like that happened to me on the live server. Laughed and then cried. Especially after talking about people making upgrading mistakes!
The intro is just *chefs kiss! With every video your editing style keeps improving drastically! Like god dammmmmmmm 😍 I am just disappointed that there was no mention of binglebloos 😭 The tips were great too, OBVIOUSLY! Can’t wait for more videos!
Thanks girl!! :D Haha there actually WERE some cheeky bingleboo references, you just had to reaaally be on the lookout for them!! I had one at 8:35 aaaand one at 9:16 when I expose my search history heh
Awesome channel and very accurate! I agree with the 1/3 chance of getting valuable style mats. I broke down 100s of undertaker gear for shimmering sands and that was about my rate (on PS NA)
That’s what I’m really starting to hear from others as well, like us, they’ve experienced a style mat drop rate of about 1/3. Ah! I should have known better than to trust what I read on the forums ;p But jokes aside, thank you! ☺️
Yep, I no longer will ne holding on to my frostbite gear! Another great bit of info you never fail to deliver value! 😁 I might have to try and join your discord to keep on top of trading trend and have a bit of fun 😄
Your "excessive theatrics" have me giggling! I've recommended your videos to some people in my guild and a couple of us have had deep conversations about how to pronounce bugloss. LOL
@@Arttea Also, as of today, I've deconed 867 frostbite pieces and it returned 36.33%. is there a forum post with recent data? I wonder what I might be missing
@@ascenshin9360 The forum post that I referenced was from 2019, I haven't been able to find anything more recent. As I mentioned, the drop rate for me has been more like 1/3 in all of my time playing ESO, which is pretty darn close to what it looks like you've been getting as well. I think it's safe to say that as long as we continue to buy frostbite for much less than 1/3 of the price of the clasps, then we can really make a profit.
I've tried so many times to get this through ppls head, they usually freak out in excitement, upgrade immediately just for me to tell them "dude it has training on it" for them to tell me why does that matter. I'm going to send this vid to next person who thinks they know shit. Love your vids. Keep it up girl 👧 👏 💪
I see it happen a lot in my trading guilds as well! Someone will find a Briarheart Resto Staff and get excited and gold it out because they've heard good things about the Briarheart set but they fail to realize that it is a stamina DPS set, and that a resto is not going to have any value at all, besides maybe being used to fill out a "stickerbook". But even then, someone isn't going to buy a gold resto staff to do that haha So hopefully this video can help deter people from doing that! And thanks for the kind words :D
OMG when yous said "Alexa play Despa" my echo dot started rambling like crazy lmao i had to turn down your video and Alexa was saying Do you want to enable amazon music to play Despacito? I said no and than few seconds later it started jamming some random spanish song XDDDDD
Thanks!! :D I am using two bow motifs in this video: the engine guardian bow (from the arms pack) and the greymoor lycanthrope bow (a style that was exclusive to the nighthollow crown crates)
Awesome video as usual, I definitely subscribed and have been saving your videos! What's the chest piece you are wearing, I main templar and I think it would fit nicely. Also the hat at the end too please :)
Thank you! The chest piece that I am wearing is the moongrave fane cuirass. And that hat is the “tsaesci hat”. Funny you mention that you main templar! A lot of Templars, funnily enough, tend to wear that hat (kind of like how sorcs love wearing that engine guardian helm style) to the point where many call it the “templar hat” 😁
With Pan-elsweyr event coming up, decon the sets unless it's crafty alfiq(set to be used in upcoming no cp/no proc campaign). Shimmering sand might drop a bit during the event, just hold those until after the event. FARM the hell out of it though.
Hi, I know I'm late to the party but I noticed in the video that your character is painting or appears to, is that an emote or you can actually paint in the game?
Even some sets from zones without public dungeons or places players like to go can be sold for at least 1k-2k by people that want to fill their sticker book, ut it might sit a while, so only if you have lots of empty guild trader slots
A lot of people do not have an easy means to change traits because they do not have a lot of transmutes! For those people, it’s easier to collect gold than it is transmutes, so they don’t mind paying significantly more to purchase an item in the ideal trait
@@Arttea Oh i see, thanks for the clarification. Did they change about something about transmutes though? I remember in the past i was destroying them cuz i had too many of it, it was so easy to farm.
Just a quick question, but I’m still relatively new to the game and I’ve been leveling up my crafting abilities. Should I sell old materials (Currently don’t have the craft bag and using bank space) such as cotton or sanded maple? Since I’m no longer using them in crafting writs, are they worth it to keep them, or are they going to be useful later?
That's a good question! Currently, those lower-level materials do not sell for too much gold. If you decide to create other characters some time down the road (which isn't a bad idea - many people play multiple characters AND they're nice to have for spamming daily crafting writs for gold and more materials) you may want to level up their crafting as well. So, having those lower-level mats will really be able to help you in that regard, as you will need them to complete writs. I myself do writs on a plethora of toons and not all of them are at lvl 50 in their crafting skill lines, so the old materials that I held onto really came in handy!
To my knowledge, no such addon exists, although that sounds like it would be really handy! I do have a segment on my website that briefly discusses a few of the popular sets for each patch. I will link it below :) tamrieltradesecrets.com/whats-hot/
S’all good! I used to be the other way - I’d vendor all of my greens and blues without paying attention to their style, when I really should have been deconning some of them for those valuable style mats! 😅
If you are a total noobie to the game, go ahead and decon gear that is not valuable so that you may advance your skill lines. But once they are maxed out, you can get to applying the strategies discussed in this video :)
My advice for new players is to deconstruct everything and only sell ornate items until they reach lvl 50 in crafting, then they can sell toa merchant, correct me if I m wrong
Sounds about right to me! Especially since you will want to lvl up your crafting early on to be able to craft yourself gear and benefit from deconstructing and refining passives!
Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Or keep the fish and feed yourself. Fishing isn't that difficult, let him figure it out on his own, he's a grown @ss man.
Don't worry fellas it's just banter. FartmanUK is a homie :) Chris, you got the ol' ban for posting anti-women boomer memes and minion memes, I'd say that's pretty reasonable
If you’re on PC NA you’re welcome to join our guild! It’s a social one that has a trader - and no dues! You could try selling stacks of upgrade and style materials in zone chat perhaps if trading guilds are not your cup of tea!
Ha, I should probably do this, I just sell all the items I can’t research. I can never find a guild that gives me permission to sell. There’s always a long criteria to get permission. Lol
Have you considered joining a trading guild? A lot of social guilds tend to not get into the trading scene, so their guild store may not even be unlocked, or yeah, like you said, you may not have access to it. But if you join a trading guild you should be able to get to trading right away without any hassle at all! They *want* you to sell things so that they can collect taxes to pay for their trader haha
@@Arttea currently looking for them, I browse though the guilds that advertise haven’t found one yet. I’m more of a casual player but I’ve seen some require you to actively be trading a certain amount. That’s no fun to me lol. Wish there was just an auction house like Guild Wars 2 or the other games,
Recently bought a golded out cp150 (yes, 150) Hist Whisperer chest for 7k. Lol. Rip that guy. I just had a crafter make me a cp150 enchant for it and called it a day 😂😂
Oooof! Poor guy! He may have been better off risking it for the biscuit and deconning his chest piece for a chance at getting the tempering alloy back haha
12:24 ok says the bedroom UA-camr LOLZ! I run eso now my username is Jeffrey Epstein but the kids call me uncle Epper. If you want gold in eso you’ve gotta go through me first. Check in before questing!
It was in that moment of silence in the intro when I finally stopped feeling alone in the ESO-verse.
the intro was pretty accurate lol
I did literally this a week ago
My life in a nutshell. I now compulsively lock everything with good traits

Why don’t you have 1M subs already?? Good quality video
Haha thanks! ESO isn't *that* popular, unfortunately ;p But hey, maybe one day!
I didnt think about the style mats from dungeons...time to go check the craft bag...
Yeah some of those syle mats are required for furnishings (or in the case of dragon bones - recipes!) so they do have some value!
as always a fantastic video, thanks for your valuable information.
Love her voice so much sometimes i forgot listening to the content😂

That deconstruction of the staff made my heart drop
Very useful information indeed! And you are certainly NOT a basement UA-camr. Thank you and keep up the great work!
Haha thanks! Some goon called me that a while back so I decided to roll with it 😁
Love the videos your humor is amazing! Btw what motif are you using on your bow ?
Thanks!! :D
I am using two bow motifs in this video: the engine guardian bow (from the arms pack) and the greymoor lycanthrope bow (a style that was exclusive to the nighthollow crown crates)
11:00 I've seen speculation that batch decon/refining is less efficient due to fractional rounding errors. Might be something to test.
I've heard plenty of speculation about this myself... would be interesting to test it out for sure!
I for one love your theathrics girl keep it up!

Thank you for the quick reply.
Look forward to the next video
At 00:22 I felt that. I still feel the heartache from my massive mistake.
Great info in this video. Nicely done once again. My my how your channel and community is 🌳 Nice to see. Have a nice day.
Can you please update your “what’s hot?” section in your page ??
I usually funnel the non-ornate junk gear to my other toons to deconstruct for experience, gotta keep the daily writ engine going.
Good content as always .. but still hoping to get some hints concerning the Bow/Bow builds ... :-)
The Alexa bit activated mine 😂
With Pan-elsweyr event coming up, decon the sets unless it's crafty alfiq(set to be used in upcoming no cp/no proc campaign). Shimmering sand might drop a bit during the event, just hold those until after the event. FARM the hell out of it though.

As a PvP enjoyer, her deconstructing that purple willpower inferno staff hurt my soul.
oof, on my platform (PC NA) they go for 2k tops ;p
Do we have to verify our number for disord?😢
😱😱i am in the video(we made it boys😎) ... even though i made a mistake 😂😂
Even some sets from zones without public dungeons or places players like to go can be sold for at least 1k-2k by people that want to fill their sticker book, ut it might sit a while, so only if you have lots of empty guild trader slots
Oh yeah for sure, that sticker book totally added value to a lot of items that came from bad sets (and items from good sets that are not ideal)!
13:10 we ps4/5 gamers have discord bots as well. not excactly a microsoft only feature
Oh that's good to hear! :)
How do you walk with a torch?
Love the look of enhanced edition; might get but I don't know is the X worth it though for one game
hey do u use reshade or enb
love urs
can i know the name
Yeah I lock everything when I get it... so many sets that I don't use but are taking up my bank and alt storage slots.
You set my Alexa off playing despacito.. 😂😂
But traits can be easily changed so how does that lower the item's value? It can be done litereally by anyone even if you don't own clockwork city.
A lot of people do not have an easy means to change traits because they do not have a lot of transmutes! For those people, it’s easier to collect gold than it is transmutes, so they don’t mind paying significantly more to purchase an item in the ideal trait

I guess you should decon all the trash ones if you're still leveling up your professions? Then vendor when you're max?
That sounds like the way to go for newer players for sure!
@@Arttea totally 😁 thanks for the great content
are there any addons that help idiots determine whether they should sell, decon, or possibly upgrade ... or just alert me to popular sets?

HAHHA omg!! That's amazing! ;p
General question, how many more years do you guys and gals think ESO has ? Many memories.
Doh, I've been deconning all of my greens/blues regardless of style. Whereas you make it obvious why I should vendor most of them!
S’all good! I used to be the other way - I’d vendor all of my greens and blues without paying attention to their style, when I really should have been deconning some of them for those valuable style mats! 😅
Ahaha you got me snickering to myself at the start there
how do you get that chest piece you wearing?
The chest piece is the moongrave fane cuirass, but that dark purple/blue tabard with the golden sun on it is actually my guild's tabard!
I'm a newb...is it wrong to decon all my unwanted gear for advancement in that crafting line?
If you are a total noobie to the game, go ahead and decon gear that is not valuable so that you may advance your skill lines. But once they are maxed out, you can get to applying the strategies discussed in this video :)
Where do you even sell stuff in this game
You can sell items via guild stores! You’ll have to be in a guild with a guild store in order to do so
My pocket book hurts 😨
