Sell Items You Make

The best way to make gold is to sell items your subjects make in the different crafting stations. The table shows the four best items you should focus on making, the material cost of each item, and the gold you’ll earn for selling the item. Ensure you equip your workers with the appropriate items to make your production more efficient.

However, upgrading the tools and clothing for your workers at the beginning is costly because they will be quickly obsolete as you progress in the game, making it a waste of gold. You don’t want to focus on items made with iron and burlap; instead, save your gold until you reach items made with steel and wool.

Fulfill Orders

Another quick and easy way to make gold is to complete orders using the crafting materials and items that you make with those materials. As you start breeding your subjects, you’ll get enough workers to help constantly produce items to use for fulfilling orders. In addition, you’ll be able to fulfill seven orders every 24 hours. However, you can watch a video to refresh all seven orders once a day, increasing the amount you can fulfill.

Now that you know how to farm gold in Elder Scrolls Castles, you’ll have enough gold as you progress into the middle and end stages of the game to build and upgrade as much as you want.
