Building a New Crafting Character
Spending skill points to crafting skills can significantly decrease your potential as a Dragonknight. It’s better to create a completely new character purely focusing on crafting.

Important Crafting Skills
In your crafting character, you should have different skills for all crafting jobs including, woodworking, alchemy, clothing, enchanting, and more. Then, you can maximize based on what you need for the dragonknight.
At the very least, you should maximize all crafting skills related to material extraction such as Metal Extraction, Unraveling, and wood extraction. They will give you a LOT more gold from better-extracted items.
Writs, Your Best Source of Income
The best way to make money in the Elder Scrolls Online with a small amount of time is Writs, a special assignment for crafting professions. Completing a few writs give you a lot of gold as well as other crafting materials that can be crafted or sold later for gold.

It’s currently the best way to make money. There’s no other way that can give you hundred thousands of gold within an hour.
Breaking Down Materials
Breaking down materials to sell for gold is a big deal. There are so many ways to earn materials in the Elder Scrolls Online, mostly from killing monsters. You should switch out to a combat character, go to a grind spot, and farm everything there while playing solo. In case you are playing with your friend, go to a group dungeon can even give you more materials.
After having enough materials, switch out to a crafting character again and extract all materials. Improvement items are better with extraction skills resulted in more gold.
Buying Materials
Also, another way of earning materials to sell is simply from buying. Some people will sell items at a ridiculously cheap price. Buy them all and sell them at a later time for profit. There are two things you should always keep in mind. First, you should know the market price really well. Sometimes the material price can go down quickly without realizing it. Selling fee is the second. It will be loss instead of making a profit if you do not calculate it well enough.
Guild Trader
Guild trader is a key to making profit in selling items to a player. Being in a guild is the only way to access it. Thus, you should join any guild as fast and as much as possible. There are many trading guilds allowing you to join them easily without having to PvP. When setting a price, make sure they are around the cheapest possible price without undercutting other players.
Remember that the main item you are going to sell here is a high-quality improvement item from materials extraction. It’s a common product having many sellers. If the price is too high, nobody will buy it. If it’s too cheap, you might be breaking the market and get kicked out by a guild leader.
If the price is right, you should be able to sell them all within a single day.
