Broke in Tamriel? A Hilarious Guide to Amassing ESO Gold (Without Pawn Shops)
Ah, Elder Scrolls Online. A land of adventure, epic quests, and... crippling in-game poverty. Let's face it, even the most valiant heroes need a hefty coin purse to afford those fancy new daggers or a truly terrifying mount (seriously, some of those things look like they escaped a Tim Burton fever dream).
Fear not, fellow adventurers! This guide will be your key to unlocking the secrets of Tamriel's gold market, all without resorting to dubious back-alley fence deals (though, let's be honest, those Khajiit merchants have seen some things...).

Be a Dungeon Delving Dynamo
QuickTip: Skim the first line of each paragraph.![]()
Dungeons are a goldmine (pun intended!) They offer a decent chunk of change upon completion, not to mention the chance to loot some seriously valuable gear. Just remember, these aren't theme parks. Bring your A-game, because wiping to a group of overly enthusiastic goblins is a surefire way to ensure your pockets stay lighter than a spriggan.
Master the Art of the Flip
Tip: Reading in chunks improves focus.![]()
Think you've found a rusty old spoon in a delve? Think again! ESO thrives on a player-driven economy. That seemingly useless item could be a goldmine for a niche crafting enthusiast. Scour the merchants, guild traders, and auction houses, you might just stumble upon a hidden treasure (or at least enough to buy some new shoes for your mount).
Become a Crafting Colossus
QuickTip: Focus on one line if it feels important.![]()
Crafting professions can be a gold-generating machine, but only if you're willing to invest some time and effort. Research traits, gather materials, and hone your skills. Before you know it, you'll be churning out top-tier armor sets that adventurers will fight tooth and nail for (or at least pay a hefty sum). Just be warned, there's a fine line between crafting master and hoarder with a basement full of dubious tapestries.
Embrace Your Inner Gambler (with Caution!)
ESO has a robust system of crafting writs and treasure chests. While not guaranteed riches, they offer a chance to score big. Think of it like a lottery ticket for adventurers – a small investment for the potential of a life-changing windfall (or enough to buy a particularly fetching new hat). Just remember, gambling responsibly is always the key!

Pro Tip: Don't Buy Gold (Unless You Want a Virtual Black Eye)
There are places offering to sell you ESO gold, but let me tell you, it's a recipe for disaster. Not only is it against the game's terms of service (and could get you banned!), but it's also financially risky. Stick to the honest grind, and you'll not only earn your gold, but also gain bragging rights (and maybe a cool nickname like "Goldfinger McStabbyface").
Remember, Adventurer: Gold Isn't Everything
Sure, a bulging coin purse is nice, but ESO is about the journey, the camaraderie, and the thrill of vanquishing foes both fearsome and... well, let's be honest, some of those mudcrab attacks can be pretty hairy. So, earn your gold with a smile, enjoy the adventure, and maybe buy yourself a celebratory lute solo after a particularly lucrative dungeon run.
