Ready for the best gold farming guide for The Elder Scrolls Online? That’s right, in this article we’re going to go over some of the best ways to acquire gold quickly.

Farm Mobs in Public Dungeons

Public dungeons in ESO are brimming with encounters that spawn five or more mobs in clusters. Encounters in public dungeons also appear to have much shorter respawn timers than anywhere else. Thus, as you circle through a public dungeon and take out each cluster of enemies, you’re likely to glean gold and loot at a higher rate per minute than you would in other hunting grounds. More specifically, you’ll find the best results in public dungeons where Imperials are present. This is because Imperial mobs tend to drop more gold, more frequently.

Based on the above criteria, here are a few of the most popular public dungeons where Imperial mobs will show up:

The Vile Manse (Reaper’s March)

Razak’s Wheel (Bang’korai)

Crimson Cove (Malabal Tor)

Note that public dungeon farming is only manageable if you’ve equipped your character to dish out AOE (area-of-effect) damage. The Destruction Staff and Bow are great weapon types for dealing damage, as both offer at least one worthy AOE skill:

Volley (Bow): Launches a volley of arrows at a target location (with a radius of 5m) for 8 seconds.

Elemental Storm (Destruction Staff): Builds a storm at a target location (with a radius of 8m) for 2 seconds, then unleashes a damage-over-time effect on all nearby enemies for 7 seconds.

Wall of Elements (Destruction Staff): Based on staff element, creates an 18 x 8m zone in front of the caster for 6 seconds that deals damage-over-time and causes elemental status ailments.

Impulse (Destruction Staff): Instantly deals damage in a 6m radius around the caster.

Templars, Wardens, Sorcerers, and Dragonknights come with at least one skill that’s excellent for AOE. Here are some class skills to look out for:

Blazing Spear (Templar): Sends down a shower of divine damage in an 8m radius for 8 seconds.

Impaling Shards (Warden): Summons shards of ice in a 6m radius for 12 seconds.

Lightning Splash (Sorcerer): Creates a storm in a 4m radius for 6 seconds.

Fiery Breath (Dragonknight): Breathes fire in a cone of up to 10m in front of the caster, dealing instant damage and applying damage-over-time for 8 seconds.

Nightblades are excellent for direct damage abilities, but don’t really have much AOE going for them besides the Soul Shred ultimate. As mentioned in the disclaimer at the beginning of the guide, we’re not taking Elsweyr additions into account. That said, there are some great PVE Necromancer builds available on AlcastHQ.

Moreover, there are a few important Champion Point allotments that can make mob farming even easier in ESO. Spell Erosion will make each of your AOE spells ignore opponents’ armor (based on your spell penetration value vs. their armor value), causing them to take more damage and die faster. Likewise, Piercing creates an equivalent effect for abilities that cause physical weapon penetration. You should also put CPs into Precise Strikes, which ups physical critical rating, and Elfborn, which does the same for spell crits.

Hunt Down Recipes, Runeboxes, and Motifs

As it stands; recipes, runeboxes, and motifs are the most valuable item classes in ESO. Some will sell for as low as 1k gold, and others as high as 1 million or more. Tools like Tamriel Trade Center and Master Merchant can help you evaluate an item’s market price. You can find runeboxes in rare drops during special server events and during Veteran Trials. Meanwhile, recipes and motifs are infrequently hidden inside of inconspicuous containers (such as backpacks, desks, barrels, crates, and urns), treasure chests, and unlooted NPC corpses.

Take heed on selling every recipe you come across if you’re a crafter. You can theoretically craft an infinite number of items from a single recipe, barred only by the quantity of materials in your Craft Bag. Thus, you might find excellent value in consuming an expensive recipe and profiting from the goods that it produces. Pay attention to the TTC value of a recipe’s product before redeeming or selling the recipe. If the product value is lower than the value of its requisite crafting materials, sell the recipe. If it’s higher, redeem the recipe and sell its products.
