How to Make Over 100,000 Gold in 1 Minute Using Crown Mimic Stones
I'm going to show you how I made over 100,000 gold in just one minute by converting my Crown Mimic Stones into valuable style materials. If you’re unsure what a Crown Mimic Stone is, it’s an item you can acquire from the Crown Store or as rewards from daily login bonuses. These stones allow you to mimic any style material in the game.
Many players undervalue Crown Mimic Stones, assuming style materials aren’t worth much. However, this isn’t true—some style materials are incredibly valuable, and this is where we’ll make our profit. For instance, this month’s login reward includes five Crown Mimic Stones, which can easily be converted into 100,000 gold on Xbox—and potentially more on PC due to inflated prices.
Finding the Most Valuable Style Material
The key to this method is identifying the most expensive style material on your server. For example, on my server, the most valuable style material is the Pristine Daedric Heart. These are typically obtained through Antiquities excavations in the Deadlands, making them rare and expensive. However, with this method, you can produce them in large quantities using Crown Mimic Stones.
- On my server, Pristine Daedric Hearts sell for 25,000 gold each.
- To find the most valuable style material on your server, use a price-checking tool like Tamriel Trade Center (available as a website or bot in some Discord servers).
- Regularly check new style materials, especially after updates, to ensure they haven’t surpassed the Pristine Daedric Heart in value.
Setup Requirements
Before starting this method, ensure you meet the following requirements:
- Champion Point 260: This ensures you have enough CP to slot into relevant crafting passives. If you’re new, check my leveling guide linked in the description to quickly reach CP 260.
- Crafting Skill Line Level 50: Level up Blacksmithing, Clothing, or Woodworking. You can follow my crafting leveling guide to achieve this in under five minutes.
- CP Passive: Meticulous Disassembly: Slot this in your Green CP tree to increase the chance of getting style materials when deconstructing items.
- Deconstruction Passive: Fully max out the deconstruction passive in your chosen crafting skill line for better material returns.
Crafting and Deconstructing
Follow these steps to convert Crown Mimic Stones into valuable style materials:
- Purchase an Ancient Daedric Style Motif (e.g., daggers). Choose the cheapest motif available on your server.
- Go to a crafting station (e.g., blacksmithing table if you bought a blacksmithing motif).
- Select the style item to craft (e.g., daggers) and choose Ancient Daedric as the style. When prompted, use Crown Mimic Stones instead of Pristine Daedric Hearts.
- Craft the items, then immediately deconstruct them. You’ll receive Pristine Daedric Hearts as materials. For example, using five Crown Mimic Stones to craft five daggers returned four Pristine Daedric Hearts in my test.
Maximizing Profits
- Join a high-end trading guild located in cities like Mournhold, Eldenroot, or Wayrest. This ensures your listings reach more buyers.
- Price check regularly to confirm that Pristine Daedric Hearts are still the most valuable style material. If a new style material becomes more valuable, switch to crafting that item.
- List your items at the highest competitive price. On my server, I sell Pristine Daedric Hearts for 25,000 gold each.
This method is beginner-friendly and scalable. If you have a stockpile of Crown Mimic Stones, you can easily generate millions of gold. However, I personally save some Crown Mimic Stones for crafting furnishings or other items when new DLCs are released.
Converting Crown Mimic Stones into high-value style materials is one of the easiest and fastest ways to make gold in ESO. Whether you’re a new or experienced player, this method is worth trying. Just ensure you follow the steps and regularly check for the most profitable style materials.
