ESO Update 45: Quick Gold Method & Event Guide
Hey, fellow ESO adventurers! Update 45 just landed, and it's like Tamriel's own gold rush kicked off overnight. New furnishing plans, rare items, and a mini-event that's about to fatten your coin purse faster than you can say "Dragon hoard." Whether you're a gold-farming veteran or just looking to cash in quick, this guide's got the goods. Let's jump into the madness and figure out how to turn these shiny new toys into serious gold!
What's New in Update 45: Loot Worth Chasing
Update 45 drops a pile of fresh goodies that players are already losing their minds over. Here's the rundown on what's hot and why it's worth your time:
Nine New Furnishing Plans: These beauties come from Skingrad Rewards Coffers, earned by taking down world bosses, incursions, or delves in West Weald. Start your hunt near the Great Chapel of Julianos in Skingrad. The rarest plans? We're talking millions of gold—players go nuts for anything that makes their homes look like Skingrad's fancy streets.
Mirkmire Mosaics: Hit up Mirkmire world boss incursions (check your map for sword icons) to score six exclusive furnishing recipes. Not as pricey as Skingrad's haul, but still a solid payday.
Alien-Themed Recipes: Fourteen rare recipes tied to antiquities in West Weald, Gold Coast, and Blackwood. You'll need intermediate or higher leads, and even then, it's a roll of the dice. I've sunk hours into this grind myself—trust me, it's a slog, but landing one feels like striking gold.
Coveted Bed and Canopy: Scattered in containers across West Weald, especially around the Outcast Inn. Not the biggest earners, but a nice bonus while you're farming.
Why It Matters: New stuff means big demand. Rich players will shell out crazy gold for rare decor, especially early on. Jump in now before prices tank!
Mini-Event Madness: Steal Your Way to Riches
A mini-event's coming (probably late March), and it's a thief's paradise. Here's what's cooking:
Double Fencing Slots: Twice as many daily fence interactions—sell more loot, no waiting.
25% Gold Boost: Everything you fence nets an extra 25%. A 100-gold item? Now it's 125. Cha-ching!
Pouches of Ill-Gotten Goods: Pickpocketing, safeboxes, and Thieves Guild troves can drop these. Inside: sellable junk, furnishings, and a Legerdemain-boosting consumable. The higher your bounty, the better your odds—go wild!
Guild Dailies Bonus: Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild dailies toss in extra reward boxes stuffed with loot.
Hate guild traders? This event's for you. Steal, fence, profit—simple as that. The bounty twist makes it even spicier; more risk, more reward.
Where to Farm and How to Cash In
Ready to roll up your sleeves? Here's where to go and what to do:
Skingrad Coffers: Camp West Weald—world bosses, incursions, delves. Console players, try pre-completing quests on alts and turning them in day one for a coffer flood. Don't open early, though—loot updates with the patch.
Mirkmire Incursions: Sword icons on your map are your cue. Quick farms, decent rewards.
Antiquities Hustle: Grind leads in West Weald, Gold Coast, and Blackwood. Pro move: fail excavations unless you see bonus loot, then dig. It's a gamble, but it ups your chances.
Outcast Inn Loot: West Weald's hidden gem. Open dressers, zone out, zone back—repeat. PC folks, grab an addon to speed it up.
Thieving Spots: For the mini-event, try Evermore (Bangkorai) or Ebonheart (Stonefalls). Evermore's unmarked castle has nobles ripe for pickpocketing—hit twice, Blade of Woe, loot. Ebonheart's docks? NPCs face the wrong way. Easy pickings.
Sneaky Tip: During the event, go full outlaw. Rack up a bounty, farm guard-free zones, and watch those pouches pile up. Risky? Sure. Worth it? You bet.
Player Buzz: Hype, Salt, and a Memory
The community's all over this. On X, someone posted, “My thief's about to buy a mansion with these plans!” Another groaned, “Grinded antiquities for hours—got squat.” Fair mix of excitement and pain.
Me? I've been here before. Back in High Isle, I farmed plans 'til my eyes bled, then snagged a rare drop right before logging off. That thrill? It's why we grind. Update 45's got that same vibe—housing nerds and thieves are eating good, but if you're not into either, it might feel like you're missing the party.
Extra Ways to Stack Gold
Update 45 won't last forever, so here's some evergreen tricks to keep the gold flowing:
Daily Writs: Fast, simple, and multi-character friendly.
Raw Mats: Craglorn's a goldmine for materials—farm and sell.
Trader Flipping: Buy cheap, sell high. Events like this are prime flipping time.
These pair nicely with the update's chaos for a steady income, no matter the patch.
Thanks for Reading
Update 45 and this mini-event are your shot at big gold—if you play it smart. From rare plans to thieving sprees, there's something for everyone. Keep an eye on MMOJUGG for more ESO gold-making goodness. Happy hunting!
