![]() ![]() Most people who do this run a farming pattern in a particular area over and over. Mat farming is about character speed/skills and node density – your goal is to harvest as much as you can as fast as you can. I don’t sell a lot of mats mostly because I’m a crafter and a hoarder (I might need that!), but I sometimes fill up empty guild store slots with mats after the “real” sales are listed. I’m starting with this because it’s a very common method lots of people find effective, and it’s reliable – mats always sell. Make sure before you join that you know where the trader is, and if there’s a selling minimum.Īdd-ons: Consider DL’ing Master Merchant (MM) or another auction add-on, or get comfortable asking for price checks you don’t want to undervalue your listings. ![]() Some have per-week selling requirements to stay in the guild, but some don’t. Walk around and look at the guild names on each trader, and get a spot on the roster of one of those guilds. The three big hubs are Rawl’kha, Mournhold, and Wayrest. So if your guild can’t maintain the cost of bidding – every single week – then their trader will come and go, and you will lose a week of sales every time. There’s no “second choice” if a guild gets out-bid for a spot if they lose a bid they don’t have a trader that week. Guilds have to bid for their trader location each week in an auction, and high-traffic spots auction for huge amounts of gold. Not all guild traders are equal – if you’re serious about selling you need to join a dedicated trade guild that maintains a trader in one of the major hubs. Usually I store my for-sale items on a banking alt over the week and set up a new round of auctions on the weekend, so I’m not constantly messing with it. You can do that in zone chat, but for efficiency you don’t want to be personally making deals for every single item. Join a Trade GuildĪlmost all gold-farming techniques require selling items to other players. None of you will do all of this my goal is to give you information and options. ![]() I would encourage you to pick the techniques you like, adapt them to suit you, and fold them into what you’re doing already. I’ll describe the “serious” approach to these techniques if you’d rather spend a few hours a week hard-core gold farming and then not think about it again, and also “my” versions, which are more “farm as you go.” I’m a little ADD, and I prefer to sort of flit around in the game and let myself get distracted my gold-farming techniques are integrated into that playstyle. First and foremost, my suggestion is that you find a method of generating gold that still feels like “playing” to you, and not like a part-time job. People sometimes assume playing an MMO means spending hours grinding stuff you hate doing – I don’t play like that. Let’s start with a foundation assumption: ESO is a game, and while you’re playing it, you want to enjoy yourself. ![]() So here’s “The Zells Guide to Gold Farming for Beginners & People Who Hate Gold Farming.” Like my post on running Dark Brotherhood Sacraments & Thieves Guild heists, it will be long-but-thorough, and I’ll update it if I think of something new or if a patch requires it. And some rely upon exploits that have been patched, or describe a random lucky break that’s impossible to replicate. They’re mostly fine, but each focuses on one very specific method, and most don’t work for me because I don’t like to do the things they describe. Search “eso gold” on YouTube and you’ll get dozens and dozens of vids. I rarely focus solely on gold farming mostly I’ve just figured out ways to make gold while I’m doing the stuff I like to do. They wanted to know my “trick.” Honestly, that amount of gold is not extraordinary – the highest seller in my trading guild made 2 million gold in the first 3 days of this week, and she made 9 million last week. I’ve gone through a couple million gold since Homestead dropped someone asked me if I had a huge bankroll to start with and was surprised I’ve been making 100 – 200K a week to fund my furnishings addiction. Taking a break from the house tour (will finish, tho!) thought I’d talk about gold farming a bit. ![]()
