Enjoying ESO the Right Way

As an avid ESO player and content creator, I‘m often asked if buying gold from unauthorized sellers can get you banned. While it may be tempting to take shortcuts, I always encourage staying on the righteous path laid out in the Terms of Service. Those rules exist to protect the game economy and ensure everyone has fun.

Could Buying Gold Get You Banned?

In short, yes. The Terms of Service clearly prohibit buying gold for real money outside of the game. Engaging third party sellers puts your account at risk of termination. However, you‘d likely first receive a suspension and warning before a permanent ban.

While bans seem rare currently, that could change in the future. It‘s best not to risk your account and hard work for an edge. After all, the journey of earning your way in ESO is part of what makes it so rewarding!

Legitimate Ways to Obtain Gold

Luckily, there are plenty of legitimate ways to build your fortune with some dedication:

  • Farming Overland Sets – Farming overland zone sets like Mother‘s Sorrow or Spriggan‘s Thorns can net 100k+ gold per hour from selling desirable pieces.
  • Crafting & Selling Goods – High level crafters can earn good gold selling furnishings, glyphs, food/drink etc on guild traders.
  • Trading Crowns – You can legally trade purchased crowns for gold with other players. The exchange rate varies based on supply.
  • Group PvE Content – Dungeons, trials and arenas can drop valuable set pieces, motifs, crafting materials etc. The harder the content, the better the rewards!

With some patience and wisdom, you‘ll master the ESO economy in no time.

Focus on the Journey

At the end of the day, obsessing over gold distracts from enjoying the incredible journeys ESO has to offer with friends. From questing across Tamriel to tackling epic trials, it‘s about the experience – not just destination.

There‘s so much to explore and conquer the righteous way. Not to mention all the stories to unfold. Why cheat yourself of that grand adventure? I hope these tips help you make responsible choices so you can enjoy ESO to the fullest! Let me know if you have any other questions.
