ESO TRADING TIPS: Understanding TRADING GUILDS In ESO

Buckle up your seat belts gamers, and grab some snacks. This is my longest trading guide yet! In this video, I go over all of the fundamentals of ESO trading guilds and how to find the best one for you! While this is a fairly noob-friendly guide, I also discuss some more endgame trading strats for all you sweaty gold makers out there, so hopefully, you walk away from this video having learned something useful!
If you have any questions about trading guilds or are looking for some advice with sales, feel free to shoot me your question in the comments! :)
I play on PC NA so evidently the data that I am presenting to you is derived from that platform. However, while the actual zones for the "best" trading spots may differ across platforms, the information on trading patterns and whatnot is still relevant. For example, on PC EU, Vivec city is the best place to trade, whereas the best spot is Mournhold on PC NA. The things that I was talking about when referring to Mournhold in this video, would therefore be applicable to Vivec for you PC EU gamers.

How long has the Walmart guild in mournhold been there? It's the same guild on Xbox too and I've never seen him leave

Hmmm for as long as I can remember! I've been playing for 3 years, so at least 3 years haha. I had no idea that Rawl mart has a guild on Xbox as well! You think it's truly the same guild (like the same guildmaster)? Or just another guild that thought of the same name and picked the same spot lol

Great video and so happy that you put this ^^PSA about what platform. I mentioned that a couple months ago that console players feel left out when 90% of any help/tip videos are always PC. Anyways it's crazy you specificlly mention Lilmoth outlaw's den. Doing the main quest in Murkmire on a new toon and went in to launder couple things and I'll always just take a look at the trader. Well there wasn't even one there!! PS4 NA also I wouldn't say actual Lilmoth is too bad, I find that any traders right near wayshrines have the post traffic. Keep up the excellent work and may The Hist guide you traveler.

[@jeremyroos8250]

“Congrats guys, we won a trader in mournhold!” is the message I woke up to from one of my social guilds that I’m in. I was super excited because we were a pretty new guild. We didn’t really have a whole lot of funds to get a trader so it was a bit surprising... I launched the game and traveled to the guild trader, and I found our trader deep within the mournhold OUTLAW REFUGE. Nonetheless, still a nice guild so I didn’t mind the little “jebait” lol

[@Arttea]

Lmaooooo omg something similar happened to a friend of mine! He saw a guild advert for a guild that said that their trader was in Mournhold and that they have super cheap dues and he was like "hecc yeah!", but when he joined it he saw that they were actually in the mournhold refuge :^) So close, and yet so far

[@rollercoaster478]

A couple of points from my experience and thats just my experience, I am no expert: 1) Get a good mix/balance of trading guilds, especially if you sell many different items. For example, if I play for a couple of hours, I get 90 items, for example, I need at least 3 guilds then to sell those items, 30 items per guild. If I have guilds in bad spots, I wont be able to offload them for a good price. Another aspect - how often do you play. if you play every day, you 99% probably will have items to sell every day. So you need guilds in good spots and you need to price your items appropriately so that they sell quick enough but also so that you dont lose revenue because you are undercutting some trader who is seriously dumping item you are trying to sell. Dont go for all 5 guilds with 200k contribution per week. Also dont go for 5 guilds in Outlaws refuge just because you cant get enough sales to get in those top guilds, use your head and sell or resell so that you can get into at least 1 good guild. Add more guilds, if you need it. 2) Sometimes, just ignore those dumpers and undercutters and concentrate on TTC + Arkadius + MM analysis to determine the best price. For example if you want to offload a lot of items quickly, I suggest you use the TTC minimum RECOMMENDED price (not the same as minimum price ever sold!!!!!), round it up, but dont do precise numbers. So for example, you try to sell something, TTC recommends minimum unit price 265. Round it up to 300. But sell for 299 price. That way you will avoid a lot of competition who will sell for 300 precisely. If you want to get a good profit and dont mind waiting, then use MM suggested price, but always CHECK THE GRAPH for outliers that might be pushing the price way up or way down. You can then decrease the MM suggested price by 1 gold which can help massively, especially with mats. 3) You can also check for pricing trends in the MM graph. If most of the dots are going upwards lately, the VALUE is going up, but the MM price is lagging behind. The same with downward trends. Dont buy motifs for 100k just because the MM price says so, if the VALUE is going down (and it usually does), plus you can always check guild traders for discounts. If you are selling specific items like Mothers Sorrow, use TTC to determine where you want to stand price wise and how long are you willing to hold that item (max 30 days remember ;) 4) As Arttea said be careful with guild choice, location, longevity, if its a DLC zone/ Chapter zone / Base game zone / all of it matters. And just because a guild says they have the best spot and you should contribute 200k per month to that guild and pay 20k fee for not hitting the target doesnt mean thats a good guild or a good spot for trading. Two types of guilds fall into this category - social guilds who sometimes get together enough money to usurp a good spot, but will most likely lose it the next week. Second type is just weird people being weird or overestimating their guild and/or the spot. For example Rimmen. It was a good spot when Elsweyr was out, not anymore, imo, most people have moved on, not so much traffic anymore so yeah 150 or 200k contribution in Rimmen? No thank you. Remember that the guild only gets 3,5% of your guild sales, not the 7% that tooltip says in guild store, so it takes a lot of members and a lot of sales to get good spots AND keep them. 5) Finally, if you want to undercut your own guild mates, then dont do it by absolutely dumping the item and decreasing the value, because people from other guild traders will follow you and dump their items as well. A good example is people farming for motifs and then dumping them for half the market price just to get a quick sell, which makes no sense. If you want to undercut someone - 1 gold difference is enough. Literally 1 gold is enough, because in TTC.com you can filter by price, and it doesnt matter if its 1 gold or 10k gold difference. Doesnt matter if the item is worth 1 million or 1k.

[@Grimfaxe]

If I wasn't already subscribed I'd sub for that intro alone 😂

[@sl6706]

For how small the player population is in this game it still shocks me that guild traders are still a thing. You would think that centralizing the traders market into something similar to what WOW or Runescape has would be a better and more efficient way of trading. Since switching to consoles this and the lack of add-ons has been my biggest issues with the game so far. Most traders hardly if ever get visited in my experience outside of the major trading towns which is a shame because it allows the more popular markets to raise their prices since people normally don't want to waste their time traveling to out of the way traders.

[@SdisticDrummer]

That intro was perfect. Some of the best motif flipping that I've done was stuff I've gotten from Murkmire lol Always a gem or 2 in the less popular areas if you're patient enough

[@Arttea]

Absolutely, you can find the best deals in those locations that no one visits. Even more so if you go shopping in an unpopular area right as the traders flip on Tuesday! You will have guilds that previously did not have an actual guild trader suddenly finding themselves with one, so you can bet that there are so solid deals in traders like those!

Haha honestly, I do that a lot! If I see any furnishing plans in those kinds of traders I buy them up and toss them in my social guild's guild bank so that the new players can eat them up :) You can oftentimes find really good deals in those kinds of locations, so I make the time to check them out from time to time :D

Excellent tips! For the most part I just chill with FGM1 and FGM2 for my trading needs, the Grey Manes for questing, dungeons and trials (because it is filled with older folks, like me!) , the Cutthroat Mutineers for dungeon delving, and now your very own TTS guild. All of them offer me something different, and it is important to learn to understand what the specific guild is about. You’ve put together an excellent video. I’ll be sure to save this one to my library for future reference!

Rawlakha is worse than Craglorn and Vivec on PS4 EU, so I never got why it's considered good on other platforms. Here it's capital traders: Mournhold > Elden > Wayrest

Thanks for letting me know! I'm sure other PS4 EU viewers that are new to trading will appreciate it :) The trading practices mentioned in the video will of course apply to any platform, but the locations for the best zones differ. Kind of funny how that is eh? On PC NA, Rawl Kha is a very social zone, lots of people go there to duel, afk and trade seeing as the bank is RIGHT next to the wayshrine, so it is a popular zone!

[@zigrakudo4092]

English is one of the worst languages out there. They have a bunch of rules for pronunciation, but more words exempted from the rules than the number of rules. Let's not forget how some words are spelled the same, read the same, but have different meanings, and then people who are not satisfied with that and make more meanings for their own use and popularize it, so we don't only need an official dictionary, but also an urban dictionary.

@@Arttea yup yup I’m in 5 trading guilds lol.

[@simpl51]

@@Arttea This is the start of a deeper discussion that I was hoping for, what causes different pricing, what are successful pricing strategies, which are highly variable items that are worth following for flipping,.... I don't have the same strategies on my guilds, and my different product ranges are a key part of that. Are the traders cooperating, or competing, or aiming for a killing? Sales in the DLC areas. What is the role of guild leaders,... and so on. I think some student could make an interesting masters project out of the ESO economy, as it is a sinulation that can be studied, but is not artificially driven by defined or fixed rules, as many simulations are. Given how scientific the build analysis is, I find it surprising that more analysis isn't revealed

[@Arttea]

I agree, I find all of this stuff fascinating! My website contains articles that go into much greater detail about pricing strategies and what items are good for flipping at any given time (as well as definitions as to why that is) and a couple of the other points that you brought up. Ultimately, however; the contents of my channel and website are meant to serve as comprehensible guides that teach players how to make gold, and are not so much intended to be a formal, scientific analysis of a video game economy.

[@Taikomo]

As an avid MMO player, ESO is the only game where I don't sell my stuff to other players. I've probably missed out on millions of gold because of it, but I find it preferable than have to deal with all of... this. I honestly don't see the benefits of a system like this, only negatives.

[@Arttea]

Fair enough - to each their own! I had a good friend who used to play eso and never dabbled in trading and he managed just fine! I’d have to buy him pvp gear from time to time but for the most part he was good. Definitely isn’t for everyone :) There are some benefits to having a lot of gold, like buying expensive gear and materials to upgrade it to gold, or buying nice motifs or buying crown items for gold with other players, but it definitely isn’t necessary.

[@Taikomo]

@@Arttea I don't doubt there's benefits for having gold, I was just thinking that I couldn't think of a benefit for a system like guild traders when compared to the free-for-all markets of other MMOs. Seems like a bit of a hassle to do something that is very simple to do elsewhere. I guess it's a bit more immersive to have to go to different vendors to see what they're selling and at what price.

[@Arttea]

@@Taikomo Ah I gotcha - this is the first MMO that I've ever played so I have 0 experience with any other trading systems, but yeah, I have had quite a few viewers comment on how they wish ESO had a different trading system - particularly a global auction house, or something similar. The trading guild system is quite flawed, but unfortunately, it's the only thing we've got when it comes to making quite a lot of gold in this game.

Guild traders economic pvp

[@revolt81]

Might seem crazy, but almost all the gear I sell, is at 5k. It works I get lots of sales. It's mostly PvP gear and I could probably get more for it, but I like the idea of just having everything at one price. Keep in mind I do up the price for certain high demand items. Also, if I sell in bulk, the per unit price is less. That is how it works in the real world when conducting business. Buy one, pay more, buy ten pay less per item. I used to sell glass smoking utensils, when I bought them, I would buy at a certain price and then retail it at a higher price, but if the bulk price wasn't low enough I wouldn't buy.

[@revolt81]

I just think that people shouldn't be penalized for buying more of something. If anything, they should be rewarded.

[@ryanketchum7146]

Trading guilds on PC are trash they never accept the application and idk why.. I make millions every couple weeks sometimes every week if I have time from the zone chat, their loss I guess.. on console I get accepted easy

[@Arttea]

Sometimes applications require a reading check - like they’ll include something like “write x to prove that you’ve read our note!” To ensure that applicants took the time to read their rules. I can’t think of any other reason why applications would be denied, especially if you make plenty of gold!

Hmm...as someone that got here via a YT Rec, I got very different things from this video than others. As someone(a 50 y.o. grandma🤗) that didn't read the comments before playing, I didn't get the point of the opening segment at all, and in fact almost stopped the vid right there(which would have been tragic!). It was only after reading comments that I learned it was part of your unique opening 'shtick', which made me appreciate it more. 😺 And... I found the information you laid out in the vid to be very helpful! It explained more clearly what had been confusing me with some of my trading guilds. See, I wanted to do trading but I don't want the majority of my time playing the game to be just farming gear to sell. That makes your 'game' just another job that you pay for the privilege of doing! So I thought I would just get one guild in a major hub and I would be set. Yeah... that doesn't work very well. Even though I was letting MM tell me what price to use, my stuff wasn't selling and I wasn't meeting their minimum quotas. This vid really helped me figure out what I was doing wrong. Thank you so much for that. Thanks muchly, and I hope you (and everyone else here🤗) has a safe, healthy and wondrous day/month/year. Love to all.❤🤍❤🤍❤=🇨🇦

@@xX.D3DP00L_Xx Ayy sister guild! And tell me about it, it’s so weird. Like the name “Lucian” shouldn’t be copyrighted, it’s a normal name! One of my guildies has a pet named Lucian! And “alliance”? Come on, that seems like a pretty standard naming convention for a guild. But I guess those two words together is copyrighted by stargate or something lmao 🙄

[@And3TheMint]

Awesome!! You have an extremely informative video... Which has led me to the conclusion I shouldn't join a guild lol Maybe if I can commit to this game for more than a month I'll consider these tips and actually join one.

[@mleet3125]

I've watch a couple of these videos of yours, great quality and I like the frank-ness of them. I wanted to learn how to make gold and to look for a trader guild. But it occurred to me that my working hours wouldn't allow me to be sucessful. I work 3-5 days a week, 12 hour shifts. So IF my days off included 4+ hours a day dedicated to just maintaining my sales it might be possible, but I use my days off for errands, sometimes get called for more overtime, spend time with the family etc. Life things. So I may have to just stick with casual guilds and find ways to make gold with them. Thank you, and God bless you as well. Subbed :-)

Intro was funny AF!!!!

[@thegankmanifesto2040]

I know this is a fairly old video for some and I just started playing This video is super helpful even tho I am still confused on the whole guild think for this game but I was wondering what costume is that your wearing at 12:50

[@t2de4thpwrW]

Once again, great video. Would love to know if you could make one for easy ways to farm/make money off of Ancestral Reach motif. Do you know an easier way to do it besides thieves troves and chest luck farming for maps? If so what's the best routes. Anywhom, just a suggestion :)

[@fedver4224]

How are you selling Key fragments for 600 each? Aren't they worth like 150g each?

[@Arttea]

On PC NA I have seen listings from 200-800g per unit. I reliably sell mine for 600-650g per unit in my trading guilds :)

[@ohmoxide]

I'm moving over from wow, and I'm completely confused about guild traders, is there a more basic beginners version of how the whole thing works. I don't understand what you mean by your guild has a guild trader or the guild trader moves from place to place. I don't understand why the different guild traders aren't showing all of the same auctions.

[@Arttea]

I believe I have a written description somewhere on my website, but I can clarify it here: A guild unlocks a GUILD STORE once they have 50 members in it. Members of that guild (and that guild only) can list items on it, and those items can be purchased from other guild members only. You can access this guild store from any bank. The guildmaster of any guild that has a GUILD STORE can try to purchase a GUILD TRADER by placing bids on the many traders located throughout all of Tamriel. If your guild places the highest bid for that particular trader, then they will have that trader for the week, and their GUILD STORE will be public, meaning, everyone can shop at your guild store (as opposed to just guild-members only). A guild's TRADER may move around from week to week if they are placing multiple bids on multiple traders in multiple locations and losing or winning them! A guild may not have ANY TRADER for their guild store if they end up losing all of their bids! Hope that makes sense!

[@ohmoxide]

@@Arttea that was fantastic. Thank you for your time. I will rewatch this video and follow your advice. Not really looking to make any money I'm really just looking for items that might be on the guilt store thanks to upgrade equipment and bind on equipment. Again thank you for your time.

ive went back & forth w zone on this topic & they keep telling me it doesnt matter where the trader is cos "everyone knows how to use ttc" lol >:o

[@Arttea]

Haha don't listen to zone chat they're goofy ;p TTC does help you locate deals, but ultimately, location is still key. Not everyone will use TTC (or even know to!) and most people will often shop out of convenience. I've seen this notion both as a buyer and a seller haha

[@kiwipalace]

@@Arttea tru. id rather make the trader round in mournhold than rezoning for the best deals. more often than not, the cheapest ones get swiped up before i get there

[@Anastasia-ii2yy]

Hmmm, Rawl'kha is better spot than Vivec? Was thinking about where to trade but never really find any information about prestige of different places.... :( Thank you for the video, like your channel!

[@Arttea]

Really depends on what you are selling. If you are looking to sell items that are "popular" (for example, motifs or mats), you may find that you will have an easier time selling them for high prices in Vivec because you don't have as much competition from within your guild. In Rawl'kha, you will have to price those things for lower, but you will get a much faster sale, so ultimately it depends on which scenario you'd prefer: 1) Wait a little longer but get more bang for your buck 2) Get an instant sale but at a lower price For me, how I decide on which scenario I'd prefer for any given item is I look at how much of that item I have. If I have a LOT of that item (like in the video: keyfrags), then I settle for scenario 2) because I need to get rid of them. If I don't have a lot of that item (like say, if it is an expensive motif), then I settle for scenario 1). It helps to be in both kinds of guilds so that I can partition my wares accordingly and get a good mix of both scenarios. I hope that helps :)

[@Anastasia-ii2yy]

@@Arttea well, I mostly looking for another side of the problem: where to move the guild next if we wish to grow:) so trying to create something like a "grade" of different cities to find which are more or less equeal and which are next step. In order not to change one trading spot for the simmilar one...

[@Arttea]

Ah, I see what you mean now, you are approaching this from a guild leader's perspective, and not just as a trader. I actually do have a tier list for all of the zones in ESO, I made a post about it on my website, I will link it below, hopefully it can be resourceful: tamrieltradesecrets.com/2020/12/26/the-best-trading-guild-locations-in-eso/

Idk about you but personally I just travel to several zones to find the cheapest price on something. Are people really too lazy or something to shop around?

[@traybake1]

what's that? almost 15 minutes of ESO stonks and comedy? Hell yea! I was part of a Rawl'kha trading guild for a few years and kind of burnt out, then i moved to a guild with a trader in the Greenshare outlaw refuge....and yea i started to go broke real quick from selling just nothing at all. Then i found a nice happy medium, current trading guild moves around a bit between Rimmen, Vivec and sometimes Elden Root. I call this method of finding a trading guild the Goldilocks method :)

Nice one! Those are all stellar places to trade (the last places, not so much the outlaw refuge lol)! Also bless, I'm glad that the longer video format was appreciated :D

[@whatwhowhen]

So I subscribed a little under a month ago and your videos have changed the game for me. I started at about 80k but now I have 528k in the bank and thats after spending 200k-220k on various motifs over the past week.

[@Arttea]

That's so awesome! I'm really happy to hear it! You will find that the more gold that you have, the easier it will become to earn gold, since more "investment" opportunities will be available to you (for example, you could stock up on expensive items like aetherial dust, or monster mask style pages and then sell them when their prices explode). I remember when I got my first million. The second million after that came way quicker, and even moreso for the third, fourth, etc. Soon enough you will have millions to spend on all of the motifs you could ever want ;)

You must be on NA 😜. PC EU, Vivec is top.

I am! And yes, while the order of these zones may not line up with other platforms, the same trading practices still apply (consider Vivec a "hub city" on EU, and expect the same kind of trading practices that are seen in Mournhold PC NA to be seen in Vivec PC EU) :)

[@shinada2]

@@Arttea Yeah I had written the comment before watching the whole video, and I heard later on you're on NA. And then I saw the prices on your key fragments... Definitely NA! Last set of key fragments I sold in Vivec went for about half the price as in your video, and I'm in one of the top trading guilds, semi regularly hitting a billion in sales each week.
