just made 1.1 mil off all my luminous ink just from the main quest and can say dope method will probably go farming for more when I get home from work tonight.
Oh, thanks for that update. That is great, actually, so we don't have to necessarily spend all our time farming just to use the new Scribing. Will be interesting to see how this new mat prices out. Especially in the beginning. Guessing the farming mob spots are going to be crowded for the next few months after release. Always good content and insights Arttea.
Thank you very much for the video! I was just about to start collecting resources, and I bought a chapter, not even thinking that now it would be even more profitable!
just a funny thing abou what is happening right now basically every single npc in west weald is butchered due to the fact that the new stealabe furnishings cames from ANY npc regardless of the class. and resulted in everyone in skingrad now walking with empty trousers and corpses everywhere, literaly a horror movie become real
I was afraid about that thing and now it is whole true. My gosh poor NPCs. The good thing is NPCs in Vvarndenfell, Necrom, Summerset, Blackwood and N n S Elsweyr will get long holidays after years.
I've only had one ink drop outside of the quests so far - still trying to get a gauge on how actually rare they are. This definitely will be a solid gold source for awhile either way. (btw: Always love your videos - super useful information and always very direct and to the point.)
Yeah they seem to be a fairly rare drop tbh, more rare than I thought they would be! Some gamers have shared that they've farmed materials or mobs for an hour or two and only received one ink! I have seen some folks ask the devs to increase the drop rates for luminous ink *because* of how rare they are to get, so we'll have to see if anything is done about that. If not, I think you're totally right, and that these will be a great source of gold for a while! And thanks - I'm glad you enjoy the vids :D
A point to ponder … very often the drop rate for new shinies in the game is relatively generous , and gets adjusted a bit later , which may keep the value somewhat.
Thank you! And I don't believe I've seen any official material that suggests that luminous ink can or can not drop from surveys, but if I had to guess, I would say it is unlikely that they would drop from harvesting survey nodes, as those seem to be exempt from a lot of other kinds of "rules" that apply to regular nodes.
@@Arttea ok yeah makes sense as on double nodes during events they’re exempt so would expect it would be the same for inks but would be a great way to farm if not.. and would be additional incentive to get my surveys done lol
I have no intrest in scribing. So i sold all of my inks from the quest at once for over 2.5 million on day one xbox release. Since then ive logged about 32 hours and ive found 2 inks
That's right - you will need to own the Gold Road chapter to access the Scribing questline and the luminary guardian quests that provide account-wide upgrades (like the one that lets inks drop).
Completely off topic: how on earth do you do that much damage @ 4:42? I thought all the combat stuff scaled? Never have I been able to one-shot anything in this game... even mudcrabs.
Ah in that farming clip I was running an old trial setup that I had from back when I used to run trials more regularly, so it's a setup with a lot of single-target damage that also provides me with a lot of crit, which compliments my nightblade class. If you're interested, I was running Relequen (trial set) & Kinras (dungeon set) with the vBRP bow and the vDSA bow (arena bows); it's not meta or anything nowadays, but it used to pack a punch. Sets that drop from trials in ESO typically allow you to do more damage than dungeon, overland, or crafted sets.
Yes, as soon as you receive the account-wide upgrades from completing the mentioned quests, you’ll be able to obtain ink from the corresponding sources on any character that you play so long as it’s on the same account (and server- like PC NA)
Yes, luminous ink will not be able to drop from either source (mobs or material nodes) unless you complete the respective scribing quests (the indrik quest unlocks the ability to get ink from mobs, and the netch quest unlocks the ability for ink to drop from resource nodes).
ngl yesterday i was farming nodes and mobs, about an hour each, not a single drop. this shit gonna be expensive to buy from guild traders if the drop rate is gonna be like Potent Nirn. so try to figure out how much you think you'll need and try to do the quests for it since each alt gives an additional 3 ink per wing questline. may the RNG Gods favor you, cause they hate me lmao
The writer in me wants to hoard them for magic reasons but the game in me realises I could sell 1 ink for a shit ton and get more money for grimoires themselves and if I’m farming ink and scripts then it should t be an issue
Yeah I imagine it'll take a few days for TTC to have info on all of the new goodies that dropped with gold road. I'm really curious to see how much inks will end up selling for
Dang it. As if Spellscar wasn't already plagued with noobs making it difficult to farm exp. Now it'll actually be impossible if it becomes a resource farming location. RIP my favorite exp grinding spot.
Arttea, since I know you the queen of ESO gold making, thought I would pass this idea to you. Since they changed the amount of time on the auction/mailbox, I was thinking about how to make the auction house better. If ZoS could give the option of two way an item could sell, it would breathe new life into the system. If they made it so you could have a bid price and a buyout price, then I think it would make sales fun again. Just a thought, maybe someone like you that has the ear of ZoS can pass it along?
My favorite farming route is in The Alikr Desert just outside of that town at the bottom-middle of the map with 2 warring families (forgot the name, but I think Berghama ?). There are a ton of resource nodes out there in the open.
The ink farming methods themselves (mobs and material nodes after completing the mentioned scribing quests) are actually still valid; they still work, but the value of a majority of items in the game has decreased, which is what you’re referring to, I think.
great so.... idiots will take the ink and leave the resrt so that for regular players playing fair is no ink in the ressources.. wow.... and some are even proud of it lol..... sad sad world.... but it explains, why NO ink to find after harvested a million of ressources ;)
Arttea you are the best! 'Cause we are living in a material TESO world And I am a material girl You know that we are living in a material TESO world And I am a material girl My love and respect! 🤑

You play TESO and you don't farm? HOW DARE YOU?
-Waves as one of the Rpers in that scene-
omg were you the one with fingers in their bag?? 👀
Yes I am. Context: Sala eats the fingers of her foes. Cuz. Bosmer. ;) Hysterical that her habit is now internet famous.
I both love and hate that I'm also one of the rpers in that bit.

@@jimmythecrow anyway you told me good news, cause I'll be farming mats anyway
While exploring/upgrading your recommendation of the Betnikh farming route, I received a luminous ink from a Wasp. LI does indeed drop from mobs!
The new Ayleid furnishings are awesome!

Which plans are they?
@ascenshin9360 they are furnishings. Stuff like a shovel, rake or wheel of cheese (a new one, not the shining one)
the real dark brotherhood

As always great vid and well explained! Just out of curiosity for resource nodes will the inks drop when collecting nodes from surveys?
Thank you! And I don't believe I've seen any official material that suggests that luminous ink can or can not drop from surveys, but if I had to guess, I would say it is unlikely that they would drop from harvesting survey nodes, as those seem to be exempt from a lot of other kinds of "rules" that apply to regular nodes.

Not the Evermore tavern cameo LOL
I'm curious with the new thief mythic will there be a new unique spot to steal like vvardenfell or will that still be the only place for unique items.
How is the demand for Luminous Ink post patch release?
don't want inks to be too hard to obtain...haven't found a single one in the world since launch (have done the full questline for scribing)
Looks like fun shame I won't be using any of this when I get it on the 18th
I have no intrest in scribing. So i sold all of my inks from the quest at once for over 2.5 million on day one xbox release. Since then ive logged about 32 hours and ive found 2 inks
Ty 👍🏾
Eres la mejor 🎉
Nice.
I'm assuming I have to have the gold road dlc to do the quest to start getting the ink to drop?
That's right - you will need to own the Gold Road chapter to access the Scribing questline and the luminary guardian quests that provide account-wide upgrades (like the one that lets inks drop).

@@Arttea Thanks! Not sure what most of that stuff means but I guess that's endgame gear that I probably won't be touching for a while. Good to know!
@@FrostbreakYT Yea it's endgame gear that you'll get the chance to collect after completing 12-player or 4-player content
Does luminous ink drop for all characters as soon as you open them up with one toon.
Yes, as soon as you receive the account-wide upgrades from completing the mentioned quests, you’ll be able to obtain ink from the corresponding sources on any character that you play so long as it’s on the same account (and server- like PC NA)
@@Arttea Very nice. Thanks for responding. There's been so much speculation on Xbox the last 2 days my head's spinning.
Wait isn't the new scribing system very broken
Do you use a shader? If so what is it please?
I do! I use the royale reshade preset: www.nexusmods.com/elderscrollsonline/mods/144
Frist time viwer really enjoyed That poison fart joke not gonna Lie
Drop chance is so low, I literally found non since the update launched. And I took two weeks off....
Thank you for including my walkthrough in your description 🫡 :D
Thank you for putting together such a useful resource! I really appreciate it and it has been super helpful 🙏
Does each need to complete these quests in order to farm Ink?
Yes, luminous ink will not be able to drop from either source (mobs or material nodes) unless you complete the respective scribing quests (the indrik quest unlocks the ability to get ink from mobs, and the netch quest unlocks the ability for ink to drop from resource nodes).
@@Arttea Sweet. Thank you!
new mcguffin dropped that i cant farm until after the price goes way down
ngl yesterday i was farming nodes and mobs, about an hour each, not a single drop. this shit gonna be expensive to buy from guild traders if the drop rate is gonna be like Potent Nirn. so try to figure out how much you think you'll need and try to do the quests for it since each alt gives an additional 3 ink per wing questline. may the RNG Gods favor you, cause they hate me lmao
1:15 what is this armor set called? it looks so good
Looks like new motif, Sharborn from skingrad dailied
The writer in me wants to hoard them for magic reasons but the game in me realises I could sell 1 ink for a shit ton and get more money for grimoires themselves and if I’m farming ink and scripts then it should t be an issue
I’m Argonian 😎
Hahaha I swung over to TTC to see prices and it’s still to new at this point in time
Yeah I imagine it'll take a few days for TTC to have info on all of the new goodies that dropped with gold road. I'm really curious to see how much inks will end up selling for
The ink could not be useful in the end unless they add more skills in scribbing
haha baked potatoes i used to be in that guild
Dang it. As if Spellscar wasn't already plagued with noobs making it difficult to farm exp. Now it'll actually be impossible if it becomes a resource farming location.
RIP my favorite exp grinding spot.
....and inks are worth millions. That didn't take long. On average you'll get one ink drop every 3 to 5 days of farming

That's an interesting idea! If I ever get the chance I'll pass it on to the developers as a community suggestion.
I mistakenly read "Luminous Indrik" and I was so confused lol.
I'm ngl I had to be super careful to use the right wording in my script Luminous INK....Luminary INDRIK....
inb4 people start making alts, do quests to get 12 then delete them
What in the world do I do with the ink to be able to get a lot of gold if I stink in math ? 😳
My favorite farming route is in The Alikr Desert just outside of that town at the bottom-middle of the map with 2 warring families (forgot the name, but I think Berghama ?). There are a ton of resource nodes out there in the open.
Bro literally sold a fish for 69,420 gold for stonks fr 5:24
Meanwhile Playstation players waiting..and waiting...annnnd waiting >sigh
can i just buy the ink lol?
yep!
@@Arttea prices now are way to high. Will wait
farmed starter zone nodes for 14 hrs with zero ink drops. This is going to be some bullshit if the ink is so rare the new dlc become worthless.
After doing the required quests for them to drop ??
lol do the quests first mine dropped in 10 min
Missed the hype train? Goldenroad dropped yesterday, literally, lol.
Someone may watch the video in a few months, so I was addressing those peeps in the future :)
@@Arttea I figured it was future proofing. It's just funny when it just dropped
@@KNIGHTJUMPSdunno if you know but eso ain’t just on pc…lol
@@harveygardner6916 No I am completely ignorant there is is only PC. Mac and all other apparatus are an illusion projected into feeble minds.
Droppedish
The ESO economy is worth something? Thing more inflated than Brazil's economy bro 1m ain worth nothing 🤷🏻♀️
More importantly:
Monk class when
First
Another material botfarmers can sell. Yeeeuh
The bot farmers would have to complete a lot of quests in order to unlock the ability for this material to drop on every account 😅
@@Arttea You are right, my bad. Would be nice if was the same for picking up nodes :) Ty you for your content!
Hahahahahah
this farm method is not valid anymore, about 30 days and POOF...
The ink farming methods themselves (mobs and material nodes after completing the mentioned scribing quests) are actually still valid; they still work, but the value of a majority of items in the game has decreased, which is what you’re referring to, I think.
