Making Money in World of Warcraft
ESO offers multiple ways for players to earn money, including farming, trading and crafting. Each method may prove profitable depending on your level in the game and personal taste.
Though gear often offers relatively slim profit margins, certain crafting recipes do provide enough gold to be worth its while – furniture being one such source.
Crafting Recipes
There are plenty of crafting recipes available in the game, which can be discovered either through reading your recipe book or completing a writ. Once all ingredients for a particular recipe have been collected, it will appear on their inventory crafting grid; there is no restriction to its number of slots but instead your inventory must be full in order to craft it successfully.
Crafted items don’t always yield profits, but some can fetch a decent return in gold. Examples include new motif styles and furnishings designed to improve the home and intricate crafting materials like inlays.
Players can earn money through running dungeons and questing. However, this may not be the most efficient means of making it in ESO; an efficient farming build with writs farming capabilities and joining a trading guild would allow players to quickly sell their wares off quickly to other players more quickly and effectively.
Food and Drink Recipes
Food and drink recipes are level-dependent, meaning each time you craft one they increase in rank (green: basic, blue: gourmet and purple: epic). Each rank extends the duration of whatever buff the meal or drink provides: green for basic, blue for gourmet and purple for epic. While green foods and drinks provide an increase to Magicka and Stamina; blue ones increase only one primary stat while purple ones boost all four at once.
Crafted foods and drinks offer lucrative profit margins, particularly those which increase Stamina recovery. Dubious Camoran Throne, Artaeum Takeaway Broth and Perfect Roe are excellent examples for Stamina-focused builds; special boxes may drop during New Life Festival as well as guild store traders offering them.
Flipping refers to purchasing discounted items and then selling them at higher prices later, most commonly for style motifs, furnishing recipes, materials and armor. Flipping is sometimes also employed within other crafting professions like Alchemy; however it has less profitability compared to Food & Drink or Provisioning.
Nirnhoned Trait Recipes
ESO hosts seasonal events that grant players with new motifs and style pages, gear that aids them in combat, furnishings that increase your ability to damage enemies in pvp or pve, furnishings – and furniture! Selling these items at their peak price could yield you significant riches!
ESO Gold can also be earned by researching weapon traits, specifically Nirnhoned Traits which enhance weapons by increasing damage, critical hits and item durability as well as increasing status effect chances and decreasing sprint and roll-dodging costs.
Researching the Nirnhoned trait can be an expensive and time-consuming endeavor, but you can speed up this process by purchasing a Research Scroll from either Rolis Hlaalu vendor or the Crown Store.
Finally, an ESO Plus subscription grants you an extra 10% bonus to all research timers to help complete research more quickly and maximize profits; this applies to crafting equipment as well as researching nirnhoned weapon trait recipes.
Master Writ Recipes
Master Writs offer not only furnishing items and research scrolls, but they can also award Writ Vouchers which can be exchanged for extra crafting materials, attunable crafting stations, recipes or blueprints unavailable anywhere else in the game. You can only obtain these special items from Rolis Hlaalu and Faustina Curio who appear together in each faction’s capital city (Grahtwood, Wayrest or Mournhold).
Crafting in ESO doesn’t require being an expert craftsperson to make money. Anyone can do it, as long as they run daily writs and turn in sealed ones for experience points; refine raw materials at guild traders to gain elder scrolls online gold and improvement items; use those to craft equipment sets which they later sell later for more gold – this method requires much dedication to your account, but can provide an extra source of income without spending money or time trading directly with traders directly.
