Gold is the most common currency in Elder Scrolls series. When you start the game when the game come out, you’ll be a level one character, with less than one gold coin in your inventory. Although ElderScrolls online is designed to provide intelligent players with enough gold naturally as they defeat monsters, complete quests and sell items, some users may find their spending habits getting out of hand as they reach higher levels.
Deciding When To Buy Gold
Historically in most Elder Scrolls games, gold was obtained from selling extra goods and looting the bodies of dead opponents. The same will be true in ESO. Players will be able to sell “grey” trash items for gold as well as loot coin off dead monsters. They will also be able to trade goods they do not want to other players for profit. This is one reason why crafting will be so important in the game.
However, some players may still find it necessary to purchase gold. If you fall into this category, it is important to know when such a purchase is required. The most common reason for a user to feel compelled to purchase gold is the release of new content. A new content patch typically brings expensive features with it. For example, the latest patch features a new raid instance, with increasingly challenging boss monsters. Learning these boss encounters will cause you to die a lot, necessitating gear repairs. In combination with using expensive flasks, elixirs and potions, your bills will climb.
Players choosing to buy gold may find themselves with a temporary account suspension, and will be unable to log in for up to a week. Users deciding to purchase gold multiple times, and who are caught repeatedly, are subject to a permanent ban, and won’t be able to participate in The Elder Scrolls Online.

The Safest Method Of Buying Gold
The safest way of receiving purchased gold is to create a second account. This will require you to buy a second copy of ElderScrolls Online, and create an additional character. Take this new character to an auction house and mailbox. Create an auction for a basic item. Set the buyout price on the auction to the amount of gold you purchased from a gold seller, and have the seller buy the auction item. The gold will take about 1 hour to arrive in your alternate character’s mailbox. Send this gold to your main character, and delete the alternate character on your second account.In general, we should expect high-end crafters and rare collectors to be among the first players to amass a large collection of ESO gold.
