just made 1.1 mil off all my luminous ink just from the main quest and can say dope method will probably go farming for more when I get home from work tonight.
Oh, thanks for that update. That is great, actually, so we don't have to necessarily spend all our time farming just to use the new Scribing. Will be interesting to see how this new mat prices out. Especially in the beginning. Guessing the farming mob spots are going to be crowded for the next few months after release. Always good content and insights Arttea.
just a funny thing abou what is happening right now basically every single npc in west weald is butchered due to the fact that the new stealabe furnishings cames from ANY npc regardless of the class. and resulted in everyone in skingrad now walking with empty trousers and corpses everywhere, literaly a horror movie become real
I was afraid about that thing and now it is whole true. My gosh poor NPCs. The good thing is NPCs in Vvarndenfell, Necrom, Summerset, Blackwood and N n S Elsweyr will get long holidays after years.
A point to ponder … very often the drop rate for new shinies in the game is relatively generous , and gets adjusted a bit later , which may keep the value somewhat.
Thank you very much for the video! I was just about to start collecting resources, and I bought a chapter, not even thinking that now it would be even more profitable!
I've only had one ink drop outside of the quests so far - still trying to get a gauge on how actually rare they are. This definitely will be a solid gold source for awhile either way. (btw: Always love your videos - super useful information and always very direct and to the point.)
Yeah they seem to be a fairly rare drop tbh, more rare than I thought they would be! Some gamers have shared that they've farmed materials or mobs for an hour or two and only received one ink! I have seen some folks ask the devs to increase the drop rates for luminous ink *because* of how rare they are to get, so we'll have to see if anything is done about that. If not, I think you're totally right, and that these will be a great source of gold for a while! And thanks - I'm glad you enjoy the vids :D
Thank you! And I don't believe I've seen any official material that suggests that luminous ink can or can not drop from surveys, but if I had to guess, I would say it is unlikely that they would drop from harvesting survey nodes, as those seem to be exempt from a lot of other kinds of "rules" that apply to regular nodes.
@@Arttea ok yeah makes sense as on double nodes during events they’re exempt so would expect it would be the same for inks but would be a great way to farm if not.. and would be additional incentive to get my surveys done lol
I have no intrest in scribing. So i sold all of my inks from the quest at once for over 2.5 million on day one xbox release. Since then ive logged about 32 hours and ive found 2 inks
The writer in me wants to hoard them for magic reasons but the game in me realises I could sell 1 ink for a shit ton and get more money for grimoires themselves and if I’m farming ink and scripts then it should t be an issue
Yeah I imagine it'll take a few days for TTC to have info on all of the new goodies that dropped with gold road. I'm really curious to see how much inks will end up selling for
Arttea, since I know you the queen of ESO gold making, thought I would pass this idea to you. Since they changed the amount of time on the auction/mailbox, I was thinking about how to make the auction house better. If ZoS could give the option of two way an item could sell, it would breathe new life into the system. If they made it so you could have a bid price and a buyout price, then I think it would make sales fun again. Just a thought, maybe someone like you that has the ear of ZoS can pass it along?
Completely off topic: how on earth do you do that much damage @ 4:42? I thought all the combat stuff scaled? Never have I been able to one-shot anything in this game... even mudcrabs.
Ah in that farming clip I was running an old trial setup that I had from back when I used to run trials more regularly, so it's a setup with a lot of single-target damage that also provides me with a lot of crit, which compliments my nightblade class. If you're interested, I was running Relequen (trial set) & Kinras (dungeon set) with the vBRP bow and the vDSA bow (arena bows); it's not meta or anything nowadays, but it used to pack a punch. Sets that drop from trials in ESO typically allow you to do more damage than dungeon, overland, or crafted sets.
Yes, as soon as you receive the account-wide upgrades from completing the mentioned quests, you’ll be able to obtain ink from the corresponding sources on any character that you play so long as it’s on the same account (and server- like PC NA)
ngl yesterday i was farming nodes and mobs, about an hour each, not a single drop. this shit gonna be expensive to buy from guild traders if the drop rate is gonna be like Potent Nirn. so try to figure out how much you think you'll need and try to do the quests for it since each alt gives an additional 3 ink per wing questline. may the RNG Gods favor you, cause they hate me lmao
Dang it. As if Spellscar wasn't already plagued with noobs making it difficult to farm exp. Now it'll actually be impossible if it becomes a resource farming location. RIP my favorite exp grinding spot.
That's right - you will need to own the Gold Road chapter to access the Scribing questline and the luminary guardian quests that provide account-wide upgrades (like the one that lets inks drop).
Yes, luminous ink will not be able to drop from either source (mobs or material nodes) unless you complete the respective scribing quests (the indrik quest unlocks the ability to get ink from mobs, and the netch quest unlocks the ability for ink to drop from resource nodes).
Great video and explanation. I just wish ZoS didn't decide to pay wall skills that were supposed to round out each class for what they lacked in class skills... The monetization in this game is getting so out of hand these days
great so.... idiots will take the ink and leave the resrt so that for regular players playing fair is no ink in the ressources.. wow.... and some are even proud of it lol..... sad sad world.... but it explains, why NO ink to find after harvested a million of ressources ;)
Arttea you are the best! 'Cause we are living in a material TESO world And I am a material girl You know that we are living in a material TESO world And I am a material girl My love and respect! 🤑
The ink farming methods themselves (mobs and material nodes after completing the mentioned scribing quests) are actually still valid; they still work, but the value of a majority of items in the game has decreased, which is what you’re referring to, I think.
