Bet on Lizards: A Semi-AFK Gold and XP Farming Method in ESO
Tired of grinding mobs or flipping items on guild traders for gold? Welcome to Hadran’s Caravan, where you can earn gold and XP by betting on lizards in a semi-AFK manner. This daily repeatable quest is perfect for beginners or anyone looking for a low-effort way to make some extra gold in Elder Scrolls Online (ESO). Just press one button, pick your lizard, and watch the profits roll in!
Finding the Lizard Betting Quest
To get started, head to Hadran’s Caravan in Reaper’s March, near the Rawl’kha wayshrine. Find Sind and complete the initial quests "Into the Vice Den" and "Hadran’s Fall" (about 10 minutes total). Once done, you’ll unlock a daily repeatable quest from Duan, letting you bet on lizard races as often as you like.
How to Bet on Lizards (and Win!)
After picking up the quest from Dulan, choose your champion: the left, center, or right lizard. It’s a simple one-button process—pick your lizard, wait for the race, and collect your rewards if it wins. The odds should be equal, but some swear by the left lizard. In a 10-minute test, the left lizard won 22 out of 42 races, while the center and right each won 10. Results may vary, so experiment to find your lucky lizard!
Pro Tip: Channel your inner wrestling promo: “You look at me and you look at right lizard, and you can see that statement is not true. I’m a genetic freak, and I’m not normal!” Always bet on the left lizard—or at least, that’s what the stats suggest.
The Loot: Gold, XP, and More
Each win nets you 362 gold and 14,363 XP (base rate). With 14 to 22 wins in 10 minutes, that’s roughly 30,000 to 47,000 gold per hour. During double reward events, you could hit 60,000 to 95,000 gold per hour. XP can skyrocket too—up to 4.3 million XP per hour with buffs like ESO Plus, a 150% XP scroll, and a double XP event.
Potential Earnings (Base Odds, 14 Wins per 10 Minutes):
- Gold per hour: ~30,408 gold
- XP per hour (with buffs): ~4.3 million XP
Note: Outcomes are random, and win rates vary. These stats are from a limited sample—your results might differ!
Why Lizard Betting is a Great Gold Farming Method
Lizard betting shines for its simplicity. No guild traders, no market savvy—just pick a lizard and press a button every few seconds. It’s semi-AFK, delivers guaranteed gold per win, and doubles as an XP farm. Compared to mob grinding or trading, it’s a low-effort winner, especially for beginners or solo players.
Conclusion: Join the Lizard Betting Frenzy
Next time you’re near Rawl’kha, swing by Hadran’s Caravan and try lizard betting. It won’t make you a Tamriel tycoon overnight, but it’s a fun, easy way to stack gold and XP. Bet on the left lizard (because who doesn’t love a genetic freak?), and let us know your win streak in the comments!
