Common ESO Trading MISTAKES - That Beginners Make!

[@velkanzi]

Hello Arttea. I really like your style of delivery, theatrics included. Hearing you pronounce Bugloss four different ways in about a minute was great. The way you swear, even, is natural and well placed for emphasis. I also note that you poke fun at yourself sometimes which I am guessing takes a lot of confidence to do.

[@Arttea]

Hey! Thank you! I’m happy to hear that you appreciate it haha 😄

[@Scrubmydinner]

Despite being relatively uninterested in the trade side of the game, you are quickly becoming one of my favorite ESO content creators. You have a splendid assortment of delivery mechanisms that tickle my interests in numerous ways. High level education to help a fellow soul, witty banter and saucy shit post memes, quick and qwippy edits that don't detract from your content, intellectual discourse and verbose articulation. You have a stacked deck of the good stuff. Keep up the great work and thanks for the enlightening information and enjoyable ride.

[@Arttea]

Thank you Gilliam!! 🤩

[@whiteh2okayaker748]

Mystikraven say hello Gil 🤣

[@esohelldir3912]

I'm sure we are more people that miss you Gilliam. I hope you're doing well :) And I totally agree. I really like your content too, Arttea.

[@No_Face1313]

I don't get the people complaining about your "theatrics" when every other eso content creator feels like some boring old crusty professor lecturing you to death for an hour. At least there's some personality in your vids and you don't ham it up so I don't see the problem.

[@Arttea]

I totally get how I may not be someone's "cup of tea" you know? That's completely fair. The same way those professor lectures may not be someone else's cup of tea - but for the same person to constantly trash me for how I decide to create my content? That's kinda silly, and I had to goof on it ;p

[@No_Face1313]

@@Arttea yeah I noticed that it was the same person, kinda sus in a creepy snob way.

[@ХристоМартунковграфЛозенски]

Not even a "boring old crusty professor"; at least Arttea talks in an understandable, clear, distinct manner, without munching her words as if it were a "how many words can you utter per second" competition. With some awful electro music in the background.

[@No_Face1313]

@@ХристоМартунковграфЛозенски hahaha you described it perfectly

[@Arttea]

Hey gamers - sorry for the audio quality; this video was actually recorded quite a while ago, so I've gotten a better hang of things as far as recording my own voice goes since then. This video primarily points out the kinds of mistakes that I've seen more novice traders make. I'd love to eventually make a follow-up to this video that details the mistakes that trading *veterans* make, myself included! /facepalm Hope you guys enjoy this one! ❤️ EDIT: oh, yeah, and join our discord server! discord.gg/tamrieltradesecrets

[@1Mushu1]

I was wondering why you said blackwood maps are worth 60k after that event LOL

[@Arttea]

@@1Mushu1 Yes haha I even added in text that they have since lowered in price - point being, they're worth sooo much more than your average 500g Greenshade map ;p

[@velkanzi]

Hi Arttea. Would love for you to make a video on how you went about improving the sound quality. Btw, I had no problem at all with the sound quality of this one. So obviously I do not have much expertise in this field and desperately need guidance.

[@Arttea]

@@velkanzi That sounds like a neat idea! I do plan on launching a Patreon soon where I think I will post more personal content, especially content that discusses my video creating process, for those interested - so I can definitely talk in more detail about that there! But just as a quick rundown, the mic that I use is very sensitive - it is ideal for ASMR (which has actually been very annoying since it will pick up every little thing, making it so that I have to do a lot of editing to cut out random background noises, or breaths and mouth noises -ew, I know haha- that I make). Because my mic is so sensitive, I really have to nail my positioning of it. I take several practice-takes before I go ahead and record an entire video and play them over to check the sound quality until I find that sweetspot. Then I record. The issue with this video is that I was recording in a room that has more echo than my usual recording room (since I was away from my apartment at the time) and I was inconsistent with the placement of my microphone.

[@cherry-almond-cake]

@@Arttea I love your videos! And I don't really comment on videos but I really love your character's outfit, could I please ask what it's called 😅♥️

[@noblereign492]

Your style and voice are perfect! Grabs my attention and explains very thoroughly. If you have haters they must have something wrong with them.

[@BBRocker75]

Girl. You are AWESOME. Many youtubers "touch" these topics but they are always men, but overall they are always a bunch of incels geek freaks maybe living in their parents basements talking about DPS to infinite. You are the only one talking about these topics from a business angle, a real life angle. I studied business and to me your videos are just like a master class on TESO economy: effectiveness, efficiency and effectiveness. Some of your videos make bite the dust, cry, scream, shout out and said: "Give me a fuc$#@+ break, you are doing bad this". Thanx Arttea, i'm still a noob trader-farmimg-crafter, but now i can check your advises to be better. 🤟😍

[@AllThingsFascinate]

You probably have the best production quality of all ESO content. High quality audio with brilliant scripting and smart humor.

[@carolepivarnik9316]

I started playing late last year, now just starting to get trading-curious. Your videos are hilarious and informative…thanks!

[@hslee90]

Pointless theatrics is one of the main reasons I watch you! I even chose to forgo my 2 event tickets yesterday because I was too tired and cbf but am willing to sit through your theatrics 😆

I appreciate your effort and this sort of video for ESO! I started ESO back in March 2020 and have been looking for more helpful content creators like this.

[@RageofaNation]

Honestly, me and the GF just started playing eso like a week ago and we are thinking about getting into crafting and Trading and these videos have been a god send. Love the content and the editing. Sub and like. Thanks.

Welcome to ESO!! Hope you guys stay a while :) I'm happy to hear that these videos can be useful for you guys!

[@matthewjones2271]

Your videos are super helpful. I still feel very naive when it comes to trading on ESO but I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you.

[@coreyrooney5377]

Don't sweat the people that can't take a joke. Great videos. Be yourself.

[@FullOfLethons]

Informative and fun as always! Never change. I had flashbacks to complaining to a friend about how hard it was to find some square rune or other on a guild trader for a decent price and them saying, "You know you can buy it from the vendor, right? Right?" Yeah, that was me, and I remembered that lesson very firmly. Now if I have a stack of vendor something to get rid of I make a point of listing it for _under_ vendor cost so someone has a decent reason to trot to my trader rather than a vendor. You make a good point about upgrading good items to purples -- I tend to be lazy about doing it because I don't mind if a flipper buys it and improves it and makes some more margin off it, I just want it out of my bags, but that extra step would be a good habit to get into.

[@michaelcoffey1991]

[@drowsydrow]

I only found your channel yesterday and I really love the theatrical/fun themes to all your videos. It keeps me much more engaged than I usually am during videos like these that just like...show a blank screen with some text or random footage of item tooltips for 20+ minutes. The little skits are so enjoyable! I'm excited to see more of your vids in the future.

[@Arttea]

Haha thank you! I know what you mean - when I first started playing ESO and had to consult guides myself, I was very easily bored with how the information was presented to me. So now that it's my turn on the hot seat, and I'M the one creating the content, I aim to create videos that someone like me would have wanted to watch way back when. :) Happy to hear that you enjoy them! ^_^

[@drowsydrow]

@@Arttea Yeah, I started playing in 2014 and the guides I kept finding were so bland and boring that they never kept my attention for long. Because of that it took me forever to actually start trading. Even as a returning player (who admittedly has kinda forgotten a lot of the things they learned) I'm so glad to have found your guides! They're awesome ^u^

[@diva.t.williams]

One mistake I see pretty often is underpricing luxury furnishings. Waiting a few months and flipping a luxury furnisher item for 2 or 3 times the original price is common, but every time I go through my pile of flips, I find at least one or two items that are priced only slightly more than the original price. Sometimes they're listed for less than the original price. It's wild because that price tag is only a google search away. There are several websites that list all the furniture in the game, where to find it, and how much it costs if it can be bought for gold.

[@MasterJediHamilton1]

LMAO, great job. The funniest thing is, no matter how much I listen to your advice, or how much I pay attention in your guild channels on Discord, I still make the same stupid f@*king mistakes over and over again. Maybe it's me....lol. Well on your way to 10k subs. Nice job 👏

[@Arttea]

Haha don't worry, shit happens! I made a mistake the other day where I forgot to add a "0" when I was listing an item on the traders and sure enough, it sold instantly ;p Happens to the best of us! And yes, we are almost there!!

[@markstinson4434]

Thanks for getting this out there. I'm just now getting to the point where I have most gear traits researched (let's not talk about Nirnhoned, m'kay?), so trading rather than deconning and researching is becoming a more viable strategy and I really appreciate the insights.

If you are using TTC and master merchant an thingk you see a deal, make sure to check the ratio of listings to sales. If there 1000 listed over a 30 day period and 20 sold, there is a good chance that is not gonna sell for you.

[@Arttea]

Of course. I greatly value being transparent with my followers and this has been a good opportunity to make it clear that I am not ever interested in offending people. I have received quite a lot of comments that were similar to your own in a short span of time - was my video by any chance shared on a discord server or some other private community that you are aware of? I am trying to figure out why I have been bombarded with a lot of messages that are insinuating that I am all of these horrible alt-right things after I made one self-deprecating joke that happened to reference a politician tripping :/

[@praetorian3733]

Cabaret, comedy or theatre nothing is off limits. The only thing that matters when making a harmless joke is getting a laugh out of it and it was funny. If people attach political meaning some harmless fun, well that's on them. Your content is fantastic I'm not a huge trader in ESO.. I'm one of those end gamers that trades a ton when I'm low on funds then don't trade for weeks but if there's a new Arttea video I get myself a coffe and its time for a break from work : p

[@erincrow7084]

I am super late to this comment section but I have to warn about 2 selling mistakes because I have lost 1,000,000 s doing it 😂😂 not paying attention. You have a pandonean axe style page and are going to sell it for 290,000 gold only, whoops. You were in a rush and somehow didnt hit the 0 button hard enough and posted it for 2900. Or, you have sold something hella cheap or sold something during one of your not hitting 0 hard enough times and the price automatically fills in from your last sale at super cheap. Annnnd now you have listed a valuable item at gold tier pricing 😅 moral of the story: ALWAYS go back and double check your listing prices when you are done putting your shit up for sale. ❤

[@krzysztofkopciewicz6606]

Nice easter egg reference with BUGULUS.

[@zippyyenavigator707]

First and for most love your content! I couldn’t be happier that I randomly stumbled across your channel, your videos are the perfect blend of funny and informative. Second what is the name of the outfit / motif style you’re wearing in the beginning of the video (white/gold one)? I’m obsessed with it and haven’t had any luck tracking it down.

[@Arttea]

Thank you! And my character is wearing the "Thrafey Debutant Gown" - if you collect 50 fragments from the SIlent Halls public dungeon in Blackwood you can create it! (Or, you can purchase the fragments, like I did ) For more info: eso.mmo-fashion.com/thrafey-debutant-gown/

[@zippyyenavigator707]

50?! Yeah I’ll definitely just buy most of those lol. Thank you so much 💖

[@DDIII3]

One thing I would add, is listing jewelry for sale. With few exceptions, you're better off to decon them for mats. Just as you mentioned to check items for their style before vendoring them because deconing the item might yield an expensive style token, the same holds true with jewelry. The mats are worth more gold than the sales price you'll get from selling rings and necklaces. Again, Mother's Sorrow and a few other sets are the exception. But, those exceptions are very few. On PC/NA (currently) Purple grains sell for about 7k. You'll usually get a grain when you decon a piece of jewelry - not always, but enough. Buying purple rings selling for 5k or less and melting them for mats makes coin. The same holds true for blue and green jewelry.

[@tracylamb2971]

Thank you very informative video!! 🤣 I do one thing you said not to and that's flip plants and as it happens pieces from Clockwork. I started by selling off my extras from builds so I wouldn't have to store them I now buy for 2 players on request and sell slightly higher.. what am I buying? DLC zone plants, because neither player has those zones or DLC's.. 🤣🤣 at the beginning of the free Plus week, I emailed both and told them to go stock up! But that I'd also be happy to buy what they want later.

Helpful tip for xbox players, items are generally about 1/3 the PC price at guild traders. There are exceptions, but I'd bet most items are about that. This is going off in game prices, and the tamriel trade center bot on discord, comparing the prices.

[@DutchSkeptic]

I deconstructed every item I had no use of (except ornate ones) until I reached crafting lv 50. Since then, I'm using 'Mark as Junk' a lot, unless it has a researchable trait or I think it has a chance of selling well at the guild trader (purple or gold, always checking TTC). 'Selling all junk' sometimes gets thousands of gold at a time in a quick and easy way. Deconstructing junk for materials seems to be highly inefficient, I'd rather rely only on surveys for bulk harvesting and crafting.

[@Arttea]

Ah, I suggest that you watch my video on deconstructing items for gold - it is an incredibly simple and highly rewarding endeavor on this game that will earn you so much more gold than merely selling things to the merchant will. But to each their own!

My deliberate mistake is always selling everything too cheap so that it sells quickly. I check the prices which takes a while on console but then I always go at the bottom of the range or lower. Also I have just become lazy and decon most armor or weapons I find. And my stalls are never full. It just takes so much time up. Oooh so many mistakes 😬
