There are several ways to make lots of gold while playing ESO. Hirelings and crafting writs (daily crafting quests) are a great way to start making money. To make the most gold possible, you’ll want to have multiple characters, some people use all eight to maximize gold rewards.

Hirelings & Crafting Writs
With ESO’s update 6 came changes to the profitability of hirelings but they are still worth it, especially provisioning, enchanting and alchemy. Even though hirelings aren’t quite as profitable as they used to be, it’s still long tern, passive income. At this point in time, the daily crafting writs are a good way to go. Enchanting and Alchemy are probably the best writs as well.

Trait items and learning them:
The rare trait items you will need aren’t readily available to you if you are at lower levels. The first thing you can do is to go the guild stores and buy inexpensive trait items. Lots of players either don’t know that they will sell at a high price or don’t want to use them so they sell them cheaper. Get yourself the ones you can get as inexpensive as you can.

Learn only one trait for each item at a time. The research time will go up for every trait that you learn so it is suggested that you only learn one trait per item at a time! Try to have one trait being learned in every item simultaneously since each time a trait is learned on any specific type of item, the research time will double.

You can lower your research times and begin to research 3 items at a time by getting all the research passives in your clothing skill line. You should also be deconstructing any items that you wont be researching. Increase your inspiration by banking items with a higher level alt and deconstruct them with your crafting character.

Racial Style Material
You will gain racial style materials from deconstructing items and believe it or not, if you check out the guild traders you’ll be happy to learn that there are plenty of racial materials being offered for a cheap price. Get them!

Crafting Material
Don’t spend your money on any raw materials since the cost is way too high! Buy only REFINED materials at the guild store. Use just the base materials such as Iron Ingots, Rawhide, Jute, etc. – they are less expensive to purchase and they take less per crafted item.
