Should you sell ESO materials, or craft something with them? Elder Scrolls Online Gold Guide

😊

Hi Artea, I must say that due to your sound PROFESSIONAL trading advice I now had to install an addon to collect my sales in mail as i nolonger have time pressing all those buttons to collect and delete so I can be more efficient spending more time LOOKING for deal lol. It is amazing the things I see I never would have realized can make megs $ and the thing people do to make $ including clicking on buying for example tomatoes from a npc 200 times to sell at inflated price, lol i fell for that once, so thank you. I regard your work as a masterpiece and is greatly appreciated

what addon are you using to select your guild store?

Im hell bent on learning all research. Its rare i find any nirnhoned items though. Any suggestions on a good guild who sells a lot of nirnhoned stuff?

As a trader of goods in real life I can honestly say that everything in this video is very well said and thought out. As a supplier, you need to meet demands at the time and what brings the most profit in the long run. If you need to make quick money that's no problem, but knowing your goods and where and when to sell them is of most importance. And I think this video did a very good job at explaining in a quick way, just how useful knowing your product can really be. Amazing video.

I know this is a trading video, but I have a question. To give context, I used to play Eso before and stopped halfway to lvl 50 on my first character because I was clueless on the game. I'm now back and made a warden and I'm in the champion ranks and done main storyline. I'm wondering where I can find a guide or build for my warden to lvl from Cp 1 to 160. My current setup isn't the greatest, and every video I see, they all have gold gear and Cp 160 gear. I'm currently struggling in some content to get my cp ranks up. I know I'm bad at the game, but I'm asking for a point in the right direction.

Sounds like a pc/na inflation problem 🫠

can you give me gold?

Another thing to consider when selling crafted items. Is if they are not being sold could be cuze no one is buying

I hoard crafting materials cuz like a crafter, i know is really ez make dissapear 1000 heartwoods or mundane runes in a crafting session for a new house project.

Too bad ZOS doesn't really care about their players. I might still be playing if so.

I just piled up resources when playing, for the most part. I used a bunch in crafting dailies, but not much else.

😁

lovely 🥰 guide again @arttea
Your calm voice is so relaxing.
Thanks a lot

Don't EVER gold out a piece of jewelry for resale, at least on console. I've seen people do it with VD, MS, war maidens, etc. Our cost in justgold plates is about 80-90k each, so 320-360k total to just move from purple to gold. U can buy the same gold jewels for 70-100k in traders. Your upgraded piece will either never sell, or lose you money.

Are Aetherial Dusts still selling well anywhere on PS4? I''m not into PVP at all and managed to find two in all my wanderings, but any time I've tried to sell them (going by the TTC averages) I've had no luck, and as a perpetually thrifty player who's saving all her gold to buy a nice house, it's so frustrating having a potential gold mine just sitting in my inventory T.T

I started selling nirn and other mats. Then I started buying chest motifs for cheap and reselling them. Eventually I moved onto seasonal motifs (like sovngarde, legion zero, and monster helm-shoulder motifs). Seasonal stuff just goes up in price over time, sometimes x10.

Nice.

Great and informative video as always, Arttea!!!

I'm still using mats I bought before inflation on pcna........every time I use a potent for a build , I smile knowing I paid 5k gold for it.

Great advice as always. I need to get better tapped in to what equip/ sets are trending at any given time.

Nice.

If it comes to Buff-Food, don't craft it to sell, it's always cheaper than the ingridients... The only thing, that makes it profitable to sell, is, if you gathered the ingridients yourself and you want to sell quick, because Buff-Food sells quicker than the ingridients like perfect roe.

When i was new, i really thought, i would make the most money with Cooking and Alchemy, because everyone needs Food and Drinks :D but mostly, if i would buy the materials, i would lose money.

Me who keeps hoarding and have 216 chromium platings, 201 zircon platings, 1633 kuta runes, 1819 dreugh wax, 1682 tempering alloy, 2123 rosin, 1.2k+ of each dragon alchemy material:
"but what if I need them later?"

This is why I'm almost more often than not "poor" by most standards but idc cuz I'm still having fun with the game being self-sufficient.

Also guildmates are always surprised when I craft them wahtever crafted sets they request in purple "my brother in christ I will never run out of these mats".

Me watching trading videos while not having sold a single item in months being like "yes, this will definitely take my gold making to the next level"

I will sell mats due to the quick turn around. Since I can’t run by a node and just ignore it, I have more mats of every type than I can ever use. I sell excess mats when the mood strikes me and in lots I believe won’t price too many people out of the market. Generally, gold mats I tend to sell in lots of 10, Purple in lots of 50, others in lots of 200. Those 30 guild store slots can be extremely productive when what you list is moving in 24 hours or less.

I have to be in the mood to be bothered though since I also hoard gold and don’t really need more except to show off how much gold I have in a screenshot from time to time.

Don't care too much about trading, etc as I'm too new to care - I just love to listen to you and your sense of humour and editing. ^^ One of the few ESO content creators I enjoy!

when in doubt, sell dreugh wax. as a filthy roleplayer, i don't need golded armour anyways 😊

true true, i agree with your statement

As a player with not a lot of time but a LOT of gold, I’m 100% a buyer only. This video totally makes sense from my perspective as I have NEVER bought a crafted item but have purchased an embarrassing amount of mats (to make/upgrade all manner of sets I might not even like lol).

I had always considered this question, that's definitely a lot to think about 🤔

Definitely, will be passing this video to some friends, they tend to sell their mats to those zone merchants promising quick money but it is always at a loss to the seller

Your videos are amazing thatnks for your great advice

Solid advice. It's funny how some items sell. I was selling Shadowfen overland sets as fast as I could list them a month ago, now they do not sell. Same thing with some Motif chapters. But mats always sell fast, especially Nirncrux.

New Arttea video poggies 🥳
