Haha no problem! I've had quite a few comments from people that have expressed their frustrations with the trading guild system, so this video goes out to you guys! ❤️
There are guilds that do not trade. Social guilds for sure. The one I am thinking of is very low stress, with experienced members who are happy for beginners to tag along in dungeons or Cyrodil. Good for getting advice, or even updates on what is going on in Tamriel.
Gold is my biggest problem as I'm co 750 and don't even have all purple gear yet for any toon. Also need lot of bank space and maxing that out is so expensive as well. So can more easily manage everything. As I'm constantly running out of room in my bag. And now even less with loadouts. I'm currently sitting at around 120-150 in inventory each toon and my bank keeps around 170-200. I might start selling all my blue gear though and after go through and research for each toon I will do so on. That way have lot more inventory space. As have 2 toons maybe 3 that will make a master crafter. But the nirnhoned trait and the jewelery the biggest research problems. Thankfully in an amazing guild that helps with traits for research.
Thanks for the excellent info. Another step in my newbesque journey in trying to understand this epic game of a lifetime. Only wish I had found this game years ago. As soon as I have leveled up all of my crafting skills and have all gear saved up for necessary research traits, you have me convinced to start selling in a traders guild. I would be so lost without wonderful creators like YOU!
Thanks for this video. It took me quite a while to join a trading guild, mainly because I didn't know the mechanics of it. But once I decided to give it a try, I can also say that it was one of the best decisions that I've made since playing ESO. Having enough gold has open up a whole new world for me. Keep up the great work. Love your content!
It took me a while too for the same reason - traders intimidated me at the time lol. But I’m glad I gave it a shot, otherwise I wouldn’t be making these videos I bet 😅
To me the very best way to make money in game without a GT is craft writs. The 7 daily writs give me ~5k a day per toon. I usually make writs with 6 or 7 toons a day, but sometimes I do it with all 18 toons and they gain almost 90k. Not mentioning the ornate itens that you can sell to npcs. Another way to earn money in game, especially for new gamers is questing. And I like the antiquities system too. Purple treasures can be sold to npcs for 5k. But I really think that everybody should join a guild trade as soon as possible. It makes the life easy.
I do writs on all of my 18 characters and from that I earn 5.1k gold per character X 18 characters netting 91.8k gold a day making that 642,800 gold per week just by handing the writs in. That's not including all the tempers , chromium grains and master writs plus surveys I receive from completing my daily writs. Making my weekly gain around 5 to 10 million gold a week. Awesome video!!!
That is amazing! I admire your dedication to writs haha, personally, I only do them once per day, but I will do them on all 8 of my toons during the jubilee event (to get those sweet sweet jubilee boxes!) and it kiiiills me haha. But what you said absolutely checks out - there is no denying that it is an amazing way to earn gold and acquire expensive and valuable items without having to trade at all! :D
@@Arttea @Arttea Thanks! Haha. Takes time and patience to do writs and it can be so off putting at times. During the jubilee event is the best!!!! It is a great way if you're not into trading having a decent weekly wage in ESO but mix that with trading you could make some mint moolah along the way!! Lmaoo
I've found that it's a lot easier mass making writ request so that you just log on, pick up quest and go hand it in straight away. My toons sit with the items on hand majority body the time.
When pickpocketing on your stealing route - pick pocket twice and then kill the NPC. Means that when they respawn they have new items on and are not sitting empty
I kid you not, there are places in the overworld that give you way more experience for leveling than any public dungeon. Been that way for years. Hope they never fix it, because it's so much more efficient. Also you can finish 98% of all content without ever being meta. Not dissing, just good for the majority of players to know. Been playing for 7 years and have yet to use a guild trader. You eventually get to a point you get bank more gold than you spend. Takes longer, but everyone I know gets to that point regardless. Thanks for sharing a few key thieving areas. I'll check them out.
@xeniasvoid skyreach is the fastest xp gains i know if you do do 1 or 2 pulls including the chest. If you cant do that one yet cause of low lvl/cp just go to the zombies outside of the northern city in bangkorai that one is much easier and the xp is still great
The problem I have with traders is that I don't want to be forced to play every week. If I want I should be able to get off and on at my leisure without getting kicked from a guild. I miss the GW2 auction house system...
I would suggest not joining an extremely competitive trading guild then (usually these guilds hold down very expensive traders in top tier locations, so they require active players). Some trading guilds are more relaxed with their activity requirements, so you totally can just list your things on the trader and then not log in for a little while and return without getting kicked.
The best part about doing daily writs is trying to win at "can I turn in a quest before a sorc pet or warden bear decides to take a nap right in front of the quest turn in"
A lot of non-trading guilds have traders. They may not be in the best locations, but you can still sell things since people will search the TTC site for deals. But honestly, DLC quests and the zones in general give a lot of gold. I made like 20k last night just doing the Summerset main story quests (and only like the last half of them at that).
@@Arttea I don't want to give the impression that it's quest rewards only. But between quest rewards and selling trash, yeah. DLC zones have tons of gold available.
I've known traders to peruse the non trading guilds in smaller areas looking for deals. One of them told me that you always sell your slow movers at the non trading guilds at a discount because if it gets bought up then it's someone else's problem to get rid of that stock.
Great video. Im definitely one of the players not super interested in the more hardcore guild trading scene, so this is all great. (For reference, I play runescape as an ironman that is restricted from trading, and runescape is an mmo with an even crazier economy to me than ESO) My thing is im not at all interested in flipping so a trading guild is hard because I’d have to go farm stuff consistently to hit sales numbers or make enough to pay the dues. I appreciate you making this video! Also you are right that using these methods makes those expensive pve pots (spell power and weapon power) pretty out of reach. I havent used a single one because of how expensive they are and how often youre supposed to use them.
I felt that way, too. But being in a couple premium trading guilds was absolutely game changing for me. It’s like wining the lottery every time I log in after a day or so. And (at first at least), I didn’t talk or interact at all.
You're pretty damn awesome, I've watched so many videos of how to make gold but you explain and get to the point right away im only gonna watch your channel for eso now
I use Trading Guilds on NA but made toons on EU for more solo play and am not in any guilds on that server. I still make decent of money doing writs, pick-pocketing and Antiquities but I'm richer than I ever thought was possible on NA. Nice video for Trading Guild alternatives. :)
Another good reason to level up scrying and excavation is passive that makes chests light up, the way crafting passives do with material nodes. It's surprising how many chests you pass within a few yards of and completely miss.
Inside he boats in the Daggerfall docks are the best place to steal items for gold. There are no NPC's inside so you are free to loot everything inside without risk and it's right next to a Outlaw refuge
I much prefer the trader as well! But as many have expressed even in the comments section of this video - the trading scene just isn't everyone's cup of tea. So at the very least, there are some alternatives! ^_^
You can steal up to 3 thing from an npc. I've done that a lot in the harbour of davon's watch. Whether you assassinate them for their next item or not doesn't really matter. Either pickpocket twice and then assassinate or pickpocket 3 times if you feel the need to or have a daily challenge to complete. If you didn't know: looting corpses counts as stealing from the environment, too, in case you've got that daily. EDIT: I'm surprised she didn't mention hadran's caravan. If you've got 1 or more character slots to spare, create a templar, port to rawl'kha in reaper's march to unlock the wayshrine, then go to hadran's carawan and murder everyone. There are many npcs to slaughter and no guards to stop you. Just put all the gold you've made into your bank in the outlaw refuge (regular bankers won't talk to characters with bounty on their heads). It might not level up legerdemain on your main character but it's more time-efficient than stealing and you don't have to pay your bounty if you're never going to use that character for anything else.
I played eso everyday during the quarantine and my goal was to get rich. I eventually made 15 million gold selling ancestral reach motifs when it first came out. I reached my goal and stopped playing the game but I still reminisce being a newbie going on adventures and thinking of ideas to make gold.
One thing I will add with writs. Do NOT do level 1 or 2 alchemy writs. The cost of corn flower will make it a losing proposition. Those are way too expensive and truly not worth it (the value of 3 for a writ is about 1900 on pc NA). So level alchemy to 20 before doing those writs.
An interesting point to consider for sure. Most characters do have their alchemy skill lines fully levelled though, for the alchemy passive that extends the longevity of their potions, but if you are using a toon that is just for crafting only, then that's a tip to consider!
I did the daily writs for about 10 toons, good money especially because I could use the access Rubidite to mass craft on one character and deconstruct on another (same amount of xp gain deconstructing it as if someone else made it). I would go out to gather the survey maps once a week or when I had about 30 maps, and would mass extract on the character with the relevant skills. However selling the gold mats was my biggest source of income, I found someone deep into the trading scene and shipped them with a price tag (based off of the TTC lower price) and he would mail the gold and flip. It may have not been the most efficient way to sell gold wise, but I would get gold in a day or less and he always was willing to buy at those prices no questions asked and it payed for my crown content.
Thank you for another great video Arttea. I've been playing on EU since beta, CP 1750 ish, 18 characters, and all that stuff that goes with playing almost daily, through good times and bad. Not a power seller on EU I do value my only Trading Guild, and do quite well selling materials and stuff. I also prefer to rely on my own supplies/gear etc, and rarely need to buy anything now. Watching one of your earlier videos, I wondered what would it be like to start all over again. I jumped onto the NA server, created a new character, and off I went. I'd forgotten just how difficult it can be with not even basic provisioning materials etc. The game has many features which do help you level up etc. The most important thing for me personally was to join a guild, with a trader. I have to search every type of container now, It makes getting through delves etc, slow and tedious. However, I've had some lucky drops, one most recently a dwarven table furnishing plan, which I was able to sell, below the average admitedly, but still got 1.3 mill gold. Just what a new player (now level 200 ish) needed. Will be watching your videos old and new with renewed interest! Happy adventuring!
Wow, that’s amazing! I’ve only been playing daily for about three years now, and I can’t imagine starting all over! I played about 200 hours of the game: Valheim recently, and once I had basically beat the game I started fresh with a new character and experienced that same kind of renewed interest in the game since things were once again challenging! Starting that gold making journey on eso can be tough. You don’t have the means to craft gear or items to sell, you may not even be able to upgrade or refine things efficiently, and you aren’t capable of completing difficult content that yields valuable rewards (like vDLC motifs from dungeons or AP from pvp in cp environments). I hope that my videos will be able to make your journey on NA more pleasant! You’d know better than I how many more ways there are to make gold on ESO nowadays compared to the old days 😄
I understand the reason, but has always seemed odd to me to got off work and relax with a game where I have to work to be able to enjoy it. Anyway, really great tips. I've been out of eso for over 2yrs now, and just getting back into it. I had a trading guild almost right away, and it was nice, but now that my time is limited not sure I want to be so focused with that. All your stuff still mostly applies to trading guilds anyway with a bigger pay off since if you farm you can get good stuff to sell. Anyway, good job and thanks!
Ideally, playing any aspect of the game - whether it’s running some dungeons for gear, or playing content that can be financially rewarding - *is* relaxing and fun, and not like a job. But I guess that just depends on what everyone’s interests are. I like doing world boss dailies to earn motifs to sell for gold, for example, but I can see how that isn’t for everyone! And thanks!
I know a baby could have been born since this video was posted, but I wanted to add that if you upgrade your scrying to be able to do Master leads, you will hamstring the ability to make 20k gold per hour in Artaeum. This is because it makes even the most basic scrying and digging more time consuming.
That intro had me rolling 🤣 these are nice alternatives to the trading guilds thank you for this one!. Like the brike man I am I have started applying for several trading guilds so hopefully I get in one 😅
Oooh good luck! Getting into the trading scene isn’t as daunting as it seems - if you state in your application that you’ll have no problem meeting dues, most guilds will accept you. I feel like the acceptance process isn’t so bad, but it’s the “staying” in the guild process that could lead to issues. In my trading guilds, it isn’t uncommon for management to kick like 50+ people in a week 😬 just keep meeting those dues! Haha I’m glad you liked the intro 😄
@@Arttea when I read thier requirment it is stated it was a donation based guild so luckily no fees but I see them in prominate trading areas so they must have a good time keeping things rolling, I was unsure what to say in my application note to them so all I put was, "I have a full bank and empty pockets, hopefully I can change that here." Let's hope they found it as funny as I did 😅
Another good thing about doing routes in a public dungeon is that some of them drop pets and stuff, just another good thing to sell off while you're farming anyway
PSA: People who hate guild traders...that is absolutely fine, you do you boo, but then if you're gonna advertise in zone chat you NEED to sell below trader value...why? B/c why tf would I buy from some random stranger who has the potential of ripping me off & scamming me over a true set value buying no chance of scamming from a guild trader...THINK...I always see people advertising in zone chat & charge the same amount or higher than guild traders...why?
I really dislike that the only way to trade is to join a guild. What ever the big reason for it, people still circumvent it by joining one without fees and disable any sign of being in the guild. It is what it is, but it really limits making money for me, and I love farming and selling in a lot of other MMORPGs.
Thank you! And oh wow, is it 1mil?! I know that there is a 100k gold coin that is available once you collect all of the free treasures for each zone, is that the one that you are referring to?
It's not your fault that the Trading Guild system is stupid. That blame belongs to Zenimax/Bethesda. How can WoW and SWTOR handle this so well, and ESO be the game that somehow wrecks it?
I know people hate the trading guilds but I really enjoy it for an rp stand point. Going to different locations to pick through different items for sale is really cool to me. Joining the guilds aren’t hard either so ez pz
In the early days of ESO on PS4 I did some kind of the unthinkable...playing medleys of ESO Soundtrack on my guitar once a day in the zone voice chat and got some gold for doing that. Was quite fun though and not intended to earn anything from it. But thanks for the laught at the beginning of your video. :D
once you got into public dungeons, there's nothing but trading involved to make that sweet, sweet gold. but the rest was nice arttea. see you in game I hope! and maybe we can do trials sometime.
writs op. do them on a few char per day. As long as you don't spend too much money it should cover the costs of making builds and repping gear or whatever.
I am strictly a solo player. I have no guild nor friends. I am beholden to no one and do what I want, when I want. I find the guild trade system to be a huge inconvenience but I'm not going to sacrifice my freedom by joining a guild for that. I have enough money to do what I want by using many of the same methods listed here, but some of the gold and purple items I have vendored could have made me a very wealthy player.
I spent my baby days in ESO pre-trading guild being a crafting writ sneaky thief too, lol. Honestly, just get one good trading guild who don't care if you socialize and it's such a benefit - not just for making bank to sell your goodies, but to use your guildies to wayshrine to without their knowledge :D. Really, you can still play 99.9% solo and be in a guild plus bank 1mil+/wk while still having fun rather than making it a job. Or if you are into being social...there are a ton of those guilds that keep up traders each week without being "trading" guilds and don't require minimums. BTW, I love pickpocketing in Markarth.
there are also social guilds with traders in key locations such as coldharbour, rwalkha etc. And they charge you no weekly fee. definitely worth considering if the weekly fee puts you off. Spamming vet dlc dungeons and farming motifs has been the most reliable way of making gold for me.
"social guilds with traders in key locations such as coldharbour, rwalkha And they charge you no weekly fee. " Casual soloer on PS5--can someone post the name of the no weekly fee guilds? Thanks. The auction house system seems awkward compared to other games I've played.
Great video just found your channel and they are great and entertaining. All your video are from a PC view when playing in console we do not have all the extra add on to make things easier any suggestion or are we shit out of luck.
Yeah don’t worry, I don’t even use trading addons (I just use the TTC website to help me find items from time to time) so you’ll be totally fine on console. While addons can help, you can absolutely make tons of gold without them. You may just have to adjust some advice so that it corresponds with your server.
So long story short: How to make gold in eso if you're a roleplayer - create a merchant alt/toon and join a trading guild!!!~~~ Thanks for the helpful videos!~
So like playing 3 or 4 hrs a day wirh 99% of the quests in the game and all the different story lines is it worth it to do a 100% completionn ? Or would my time be better spent elsewhere? And ao far the game is auper overwhelming..like 10000 dlc areas and missions ...im swamped
The main things that keep me from selling stuff are : 1 - a broken PS4 controller (obviously) and the fact that I’m not great in math and when I try to turn in stuff, it bugs me that some people have their pets out when I try to put stuff up and end up blocking my pathway.
Thanks for this video. It's a great help for new players! I've only joined ESO a couple of days ago, but I like it so far. I noticed I'll quite some money to get my recipes for crafting, at least at the level I'm currently at :D So joining a trading guild might be very interesting indeed! Thanks for the tip!
I’m not sure if you do this already or not, but if you don’t you should definitely play eso on twitch tho ngl. I’d actually watch your shi every now and then 😁
played over 400 hours i got in to a trading guild and learned to 100k a week was a low earner. guild lead was making like 500k a week or some shit. sadly that guild died it had no dues and was super friendly.
Hey, was curious if you do have any resources/reqs for trading guilds to look into? I love Econ and just got back into eso. Would appreciate the advice! Ty again : )
Labyrinthian is really good for this kind of thing there's about 30 chests on the surface about 6 inside they respond pretty fast I can pull about 70k an hour out of there if I'm by myself
for new players antiquities is way better to grind gold then doing thief guild and dark brotherhood repeat quests coz if you guard got you u need to pay fee and lose item that u stole and reaper gear so , digging around map is more profit.
I’m not sure what you mean by “can’t do”, but it is possible to be able to research and be certified in all crafting professions. You would need lots of skill points to be certified, and ample time in order to research everything.
The easiest way to make money for me has been selling crowns for gold!!! 700 to 1 maybe even 800/1 if ur lucky! Usually get $1.4m for 2k crowns! It's is a bit shady if you don't trust the person but most people are cool and some guilds offer safe transfer options if you don't want to risk losing crowns.
Did zaan for the first time a couple weeks ago and the style page dropped. That was the first couple millions of gold ive ever seen. The I started singing Down Below by Roddy Ricch while I’m buying the motifs I wanted. 🤣
Can’t believe you forgot about the easiest way to get free money: Literally just be an imperial. But be careful though, I heard they might need to nerf their 1% gold increase because it’s just too OP :pepehands:
That’s what I’ve always heard! I think with the use of addons and just the general trading culture on PC, it’s much more common for people to be more sweaty when it comes to trading. Shit is more expensive here, but another way to look at it is that shit is worth more here too 😩👌
ah yes its finally time to get rich 😎
Thank you for allowing me to use your songs in my video 💕

Another good reason to level up scrying and excavation is passive that makes chests light up, the way crafting passives do with material nodes.
It's surprising how many chests you pass within a few yards of and completely miss.
I'm cracking up the first 40 secs. I'm just watching because love your vids. Everything excellent advice. Well done..with humor
Inside he boats in the Daggerfall docks are the best place to steal items for gold. There are no NPC's inside so you are free to loot everything inside without risk and it's right next to a Outlaw refuge
I don’t play ESO but the algorithm insists on recommending me these videos. I enjoyed it still lol the erp part!
Love your channel and your witty, meme savvy humor! :D
Subbed and watching for ESO content :3
@@ryanivers8815 Haha thank you for the sub :D
I prefer the trader but I will do your tips in this video! Thank you again for the valuable information 👍🏻
I much prefer the trader as well! But as many have expressed even in the comments section of this video - the trading scene just isn't everyone's cup of tea. So at the very least, there are some alternatives! ^_^
This intro is fire. Keep making content for us! :)
That beginning made me laugh so much with the dancing on the table. xD Totally subbed girl
Hehe thank you 😌
You can steal up to 3 thing from an npc. I've done that a lot in the harbour of davon's watch. Whether you assassinate them for their next item or not doesn't really matter. Either pickpocket twice and then assassinate or pickpocket 3 times if you feel the need to or have a daily challenge to complete. If you didn't know: looting corpses counts as stealing from the environment, too, in case you've got that daily.
EDIT: I'm surprised she didn't mention hadran's caravan. If you've got 1 or more character slots to spare, create a templar, port to rawl'kha in reaper's march to unlock the wayshrine, then go to hadran's carawan and murder everyone. There are many npcs to slaughter and no guards to stop you. Just put all the gold you've made into your bank in the outlaw refuge (regular bankers won't talk to characters with bounty on their heads). It might not level up legerdemain on your main character but it's more time-efficient than stealing and you don't have to pay your bounty if you're never going to use that character for anything else.
A warning for everyone. Please do not drink anything especially beer at the :22 mark of the video. I was laughing and choking at the same time.
I played eso everyday during the quarantine and my goal was to get rich. I eventually made 15 million gold selling ancestral reach motifs when it first came out. I reached my goal and stopped playing the game but I still reminisce being a newbie going on adventures and thinking of ideas to make gold.
Lol.. by the way.. PS NA name is Calrue if you do decide to help this noob out. 🙏
Very useful video! Thank you for sharing the tips
I felt the tone change when u talked about writs and comparing them to chores ...xD ...awesome vid ty for tips for a newby player like me :)
Haha admittedly, I’m not very good at hiding my disdain for them 😅 They are super important tho, I just can’t stand them ;p
Antiquities were what I was using as a gold resource before I found a guild to trade at. Also help owning a feces... I mean fezez
LMFAO poor fezez! You didn't have to do him like that 😩
Khajit has wares if you have coin though
Hahaaaa... great intro!
Love your work Arttea.
even though i'm getting my gold from the trading guilds this was an amazing video! it will probably help allot of new people!
Thank you, I am glad that you liked it! :D
One thing I will add with writs. Do NOT do level 1 or 2 alchemy writs. The cost of corn flower will make it a losing proposition. Those are way too expensive and truly not worth it (the value of 3 for a writ is about 1900 on pc NA). So level alchemy to 20 before doing those writs.
An interesting point to consider for sure. Most characters do have their alchemy skill lines fully levelled though, for the alchemy passive that extends the longevity of their potions, but if you are using a toon that is just for crafting only, then that's a tip to consider!
When dealing with potions just make sure you have your skills so that you make 4 for every potion you make. Same with provisioning.
1_ Do veteran dlc dungeons. Get motif. Sell motif in the zone.
2_ Help people to level up in skyreach/brp for money.
3_ Steal/Dark brotherhood
thanks a lot ma'am! that's an amazing guide! even tho i saw a lot of videos for help but this one had so many different ways.
I did the daily writs for about 10 toons, good money especially because I could use the access Rubidite to mass craft on one character and deconstruct on another (same amount of xp gain deconstructing it as if someone else made it). I would go out to gather the survey maps once a week or when I had about 30 maps, and would mass extract on the character with the relevant skills. However selling the gold mats was my biggest source of income, I found someone deep into the trading scene and shipped them with a price tag (based off of the TTC lower price) and he would mail the gold and flip. It may have not been the most efficient way to sell gold wise, but I would get gold in a day or less and he always was willing to buy at those prices no questions asked and it payed for my crown content.
"do you enjoy doing chores irl?" heckin destroyed me 😂🤣💀 I know not everyone gets your humor but I think you're hilarious
Your videos seriously make me laugh you got it girl keep them coming!!
Thank you for another great video Arttea. I've been playing on EU since beta, CP 1750 ish, 18 characters, and all that stuff that goes with playing almost daily, through good times and bad. Not a power seller on EU I do value my only Trading Guild, and do quite well selling materials and stuff. I also prefer to rely on my own supplies/gear etc, and rarely need to buy anything now. Watching one of your earlier videos, I wondered what would it be like to start all over again. I jumped onto the NA server, created a new character, and off I went. I'd forgotten just how difficult it can be with not even basic provisioning materials etc. The game has many features which do help you level up etc. The most important thing for me personally was to join a guild, with a trader. I have to search every type of container now, It makes getting through delves etc, slow and tedious. However, I've had some lucky drops, one most recently a dwarven table furnishing plan, which I was able to sell, below the average admitedly, but still got 1.3 mill gold. Just what a new player (now level 200 ish) needed. Will be watching your videos old and new with renewed interest! Happy adventuring!
Wow, that’s amazing! I’ve only been playing daily for about three years now, and I can’t imagine starting all over! I played about 200 hours of the game: Valheim recently, and once I had basically beat the game I started fresh with a new character and experienced that same kind of renewed interest in the game since things were once again challenging!
Starting that gold making journey on eso can be tough. You don’t have the means to craft gear or items to sell, you may not even be able to upgrade or refine things efficiently, and you aren’t capable of completing difficult content that yields valuable rewards (like vDLC motifs from dungeons or AP from pvp in cp environments). I hope that my videos will be able to make your journey on NA more pleasant! You’d know better than I how many more ways there are to make gold on ESO nowadays compared to the old days 😄
I understand the reason, but has always seemed odd to me to got off work and relax with a game where I have to work to be able to enjoy it. Anyway, really great tips. I've been out of eso for over 2yrs now, and just getting back into it. I had a trading guild almost right away, and it was nice, but now that my time is limited not sure I want to be so focused with that. All your stuff still mostly applies to trading guilds anyway with a bigger pay off since if you farm you can get good stuff to sell. Anyway, good job and thanks!
Ideally, playing any aspect of the game - whether it’s running some dungeons for gear, or playing content that can be financially rewarding - *is* relaxing and fun, and not like a job. But I guess that just depends on what everyone’s interests are. I like doing world boss dailies to earn motifs to sell for gold, for example, but I can see how that isn’t for everyone! And thanks!
I know a baby could have been born since this video was posted, but I wanted to add that if you upgrade your scrying to be able to do Master leads, you will hamstring the ability to make 20k gold per hour in Artaeum. This is because it makes even the most basic scrying and digging more time consuming.
That intro had me rolling 🤣 these are nice alternatives to the trading guilds thank you for this one!. Like the brike man I am I have started applying for several trading guilds so hopefully I get in one 😅
Oooh good luck! Getting into the trading scene isn’t as daunting as it seems - if you state in your application that you’ll have no problem meeting dues, most guilds will accept you. I feel like the acceptance process isn’t so bad, but it’s the “staying” in the guild process that could lead to issues. In my trading guilds, it isn’t uncommon for management to kick like 50+ people in a week 😬 just keep meeting those dues!
Haha I’m glad you liked the intro 😄
@@Arttea when I read thier requirment it is stated it was a donation based guild so luckily no fees but I see them in prominate trading areas so they must have a good time keeping things rolling, I was unsure what to say in my application note to them so all I put was, "I have a full bank and empty pockets, hopefully I can change that here." Let's hope they found it as funny as I did 😅
@@KaisersGB haha if I was in charge of recruitment I’d accept you right away with that application 😄
Hi, discovered this channel today. Good content, funny, excellent info. Subed.
Hello! Welcome to the channel! :D
Thank you for your subscription :)
Another good thing about doing routes in a public dungeon is that some of them drop pets and stuff, just another good thing to sell off while you're farming anyway
PSA: People who hate guild traders...that is absolutely fine, you do you boo, but then if you're gonna advertise in zone chat you NEED to sell below trader value...why? B/c why tf would I buy from some random stranger who has the potential of ripping me off & scamming me over a true set value buying no chance of scamming from a guild trader...THINK...I always see people advertising in zone chat & charge the same amount or higher than guild traders...why?
I really dislike that the only way to trade is to join a guild. What ever the big reason for it, people still circumvent it by joining one without fees and disable any sign of being in the guild. It is what it is, but it really limits making money for me, and I love farming and selling in a lot of other MMORPGs.
Good guide. Honorable mention to the $1M coin you can collect for doing the green and blue leads in every zone
Thank you! And oh wow, is it 1mil?! I know that there is a 100k gold coin that is available once you collect all of the free treasures for each zone, is that the one that you are referring to?
@@Arttea ah yes, I was remembering it wrong lol
I just made a new character to scale with my friend and this helped a lot
It's not your fault that the Trading Guild system is stupid. That blame belongs to Zenimax/Bethesda. How can WoW and SWTOR handle this so well, and ESO be the game that somehow wrecks it?
Always a fan of the Zoomies. Was that a yuumi reference?
I know people hate the trading guilds but I really enjoy it for an rp stand point. Going to different locations to pick through different items for sale is really cool to me. Joining the guilds aren’t hard either so ez pz
In the early days of ESO on PS4 I did some kind of the unthinkable...playing medleys of ESO Soundtrack on my guitar once a day in the zone voice chat and got some gold for doing that. Was quite fun though and not intended to earn anything from it. But thanks for the laught at the beginning of your video. :D
once you got into public dungeons, there's nothing but trading involved to make that sweet, sweet gold. but the rest was nice arttea. see you in game I hope! and maybe we can do trials sometime.
writs op. do them on a few char per day. As long as you don't spend too much money it should cover the costs of making builds and repping gear or whatever.
Very true!
Can't find these roleplay taverns on PS/NA
Bummer 😩
I am strictly a solo player. I have no guild nor friends. I am beholden to no one and do what I want, when I want. I find the guild trade system to be a huge inconvenience but I'm not going to sacrifice my freedom by joining a guild for that. I have enough money to do what I want by using many of the same methods listed here, but some of the gold and purple items I have vendored could have made me a very wealthy player.
I used to do writs on all 18 toons, but haven't played in 6 months or so. Lookin to get back into the grind.
I spent my baby days in ESO pre-trading guild being a crafting writ sneaky thief too, lol. Honestly, just get one good trading guild who don't care if you socialize and it's such a benefit - not just for making bank to sell your goodies, but to use your guildies to wayshrine to without their knowledge :D. Really, you can still play 99.9% solo and be in a guild plus bank 1mil+/wk while still having fun rather than making it a job. Or if you are into being social...there are a ton of those guilds that keep up traders each week without being "trading" guilds and don't require minimums. BTW, I love pickpocketing in Markarth.
Arttea... your scripts remain undefeated
there are also social guilds with traders in key locations such as coldharbour, rwalkha etc. And they charge you no weekly fee. definitely worth considering if the weekly fee puts you off. Spamming vet dlc dungeons and farming motifs has been the most reliable way of making gold for me.
"social guilds with traders in key locations such as coldharbour, rwalkha And they charge you no weekly fee. " Casual soloer on PS5--can someone post the name of the no weekly fee guilds? Thanks. The auction house system seems awkward compared to other games I've played.
Havent watched yet, but this title was an immediate click.
Great video just found your channel and they are great and entertaining. All your video are from a PC view when playing in console we do not have all the extra add on to make things easier any suggestion or are we shit out of luck.
Yeah don’t worry, I don’t even use trading addons (I just use the TTC website to help me find items from time to time) so you’ll be totally fine on console. While addons can help, you can absolutely make tons of gold without them. You may just have to adjust some advice so that it corresponds with your server.
@Arttea thank you for your response.
So long story short: How to make gold in eso if you're a roleplayer - create a merchant alt/toon and join a trading guild!!!~~~
Thanks for the helpful videos!~
Immersive! 😎👉👉
@@Arttea so wanted to make a joke about being a professional bugloss (b*ttst*ff) seller but didn't want to trigger anyone~
Love your videos!
appreciate this!
So like playing 3 or 4 hrs a day wirh 99% of the quests in the game and all the different story lines is it worth it to do a 100% completionn ? Or would my time be better spent elsewhere? And ao far the game is auper overwhelming..like 10000 dlc areas and missions ...im swamped
The main things that keep me from selling stuff are : 1 - a broken PS4 controller (obviously) and the fact that I’m not great in math and when I try to turn in stuff, it bugs me that some people have their pets out when I try to put stuff up and end up blocking my pathway.
Nice video, thanks :)
Lets get to farming that inferno staff of mothers sorrow that doesnt even get used in trials but still sells for 100k, ah yeah boii
Thanks for this video. It's a great help for new players! I've only joined ESO a couple of days ago, but I like it so far. I noticed I'll quite some money to get my recipes for crafting, at least at the level I'm currently at :D So joining a trading guild might be very interesting indeed!
Thanks for the tip!
I’m not sure if you do this already or not, but if you don’t you should definitely play eso on twitch tho ngl. I’d actually watch your shi every now and then 😁
played over 400 hours i got in to a trading guild and learned to 100k a week was a low earner. guild lead was making like 500k a week or some shit. sadly that guild died it had no dues and was super friendly.
Hey, was curious if you do have any resources/reqs for trading guilds to look into? I love Econ and just got back into eso. Would appreciate the advice! Ty again : )
Labyrinthian is really good for this kind of thing there's about 30 chests on the surface about 6 inside they respond pretty fast I can pull about 70k an hour out of there if I'm by myself
Miss Riften being the go to ha g out area
What outfit do you have on your toon?
Do you think you could tell me what pieces your outfit consists of?
for new players antiquities is way better to grind gold then doing thief guild and dark brotherhood repeat quests coz if you guard got you u need to pay fee and lose item that u stole and reaper gear so , digging around map is more profit.
RUclips decided I needed to watch a video about a game I don't play today.. nice.
The algorithm be wack somedays
I thought you could only be certified in one crafting thingy? Like i can't do blacksmithing and woodworking
I’m not sure what you mean by “can’t do”, but it is possible to be able to research and be certified in all crafting professions. You would need lots of skill points to be certified, and ample time in order to research everything.
I've used Excavating to pick up Equipment Sets
The easiest way to make money for me has been selling crowns for gold!!! 700 to 1 maybe even 800/1 if ur lucky! Usually get $1.4m for 2k crowns! It's is a bit shady if you don't trust the person but most people are cool and some guilds offer safe transfer options if you don't want to risk losing crowns.
Great video, i like farme a lot, my problem is my space bank XD
You can pickpocket 3 times. But the npc must respawn to reset the loot table.
great guide and all, dont get me wrong.....but.... ERP is still a viable option, right? er, asking for a friend
Did zaan for the first time a couple weeks ago and the style page dropped. That was the first couple millions of gold ive ever seen. The I started singing Down Below by Roddy Ricch while I’m buying the motifs I wanted. 🤣
how do you find trading guilds
Can’t believe you forgot about the easiest way to get free money: Literally just be an imperial. But be careful though, I heard they might need to nerf their 1% gold increase because it’s just too OP :pepehands:
True! Omg imagine if they did?!? :'(
do u use reshade?
The unthinkable lmfao 🤣 I’m dying right now
Love your videos thank you
Your voice sounds so familiar did you ever play Star Wars Knights of the old republic
I’m afraid not, sorry!
Deadass shit is so much cheaper on console and I’m not sure why but I’m not complaining 😅
That’s what I’ve always heard! I think with the use of addons and just the general trading culture on PC, it’s much more common for people to be more sweaty when it comes to trading. Shit is more expensive here, but another way to look at it is that shit is worth more here too 😩👌
My problem with the Imperial City is that there are always pvp veterans griefing new players. I wonder if it is profitable to make a lot of potions.
damn there are so MANY of THAT GUY, pretty much every run I do I get sniped on at least one chest, kinda makes me wondered why Devs made this possible
Just picked some lush bugloss and thought of you LOL ;P
