ESO Hub Trading Addon Tutorial How To

Get started with the ESO-Hub Trading Addon and Client. Always have the latest price data in your Elder Scrolls Online sessions. Always know in which guild stores items can be found.

This page will go over the steps needed to get up and running with the ESO-Trading addon and client. The addons will make sure you always have the latest price information in-game, as well as sync guild stores and listings with our system. So let's get started.

Trading Page: View our ESO Trading Page to get updates on new entries instantly! This is our external price checker tool that you can use alongside the ingame addon.

Please note that having your addons synced to programs like GoogleDrive, Dropbox or OneDrive can cause problems with our client program. We cannot guarantee it to work in combinations with those programs.

Step 1: Create and ESO-Hub Account (optional)

NOTE: You do NOT need an account to use our trading systems. You can skip this step entirely!

Having an ESO-Hub account will give you access to extra features on our trading pages, like saved searches and item favourites. You can create an account by going to the login page. You may create an account with your Email address, or use Discord to log in.

Step 2: Download and install the ESO-Hub client

In order to sync data with our servers, you will need to install the ESO-Hub client. You can download the client here:

Once downloaded, run the installer and open the program (Windows and Mac), or run the .jar file (Linux). It is recommended to let it start with Windows, as the program is light-weight, and this makes sure you always have the latest trading data on your computer.

Click the settings tab and make sure the ESO directory is set correctly. It is normally a folder named "Elder Scrolls Online/live" in your Documents folder.

If you do not wish to use an ESO-Hub account, you are now done. Happy trading.

Step 4: Log into the Client with your ESO-Hub Account (optional)

You can log into the client program with your ESO-Hub Account if you wish. You can use either your email address and password, or login via a browser link (especially handy for people that log in using Discord)

If you run into any trouble, you can join our Discord server to ask for help.

ESOHubScanner

ESOHubScanner will also be installed alongside the other addons. This helps us to keep data up to date. You don't have to do anything else with this. It is a lightweight addon. Please keep this activated.

ESO-Hub Trading on SteamDeck

We do not have a client program for SteamDeck. However, a community member has made an alternative script that you can use to get ESO-Hub Trading running on SteamDeck.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from other players
Do you combat bad actors and outlier prices?
Yes, we have systems in place the eliminate bad actors and outlier prices from the price table generation. We also reserve the right to block and/or ban anyone from the system who is deliberately trying to influence prices with fake or staged listings and/or sales.
How often are the ingame price tables updated?
The ingame price tables are updated twice a day. Except on trader-swap days. There we update them right before the trader swap, so we have accurate data before the market reacts to the trader-swap.
I found a bug or encountered a problem, where do I go?
Please come to our discord at https://discord.gg/alcasthq and inform us of your troubles in the #trading-hub channel.
Can I run ESO-Hub Trading addons alongside other trading addons?
Yes, you can use any other trading addons of your choice. They should not interfere with one another.
Is ESO-Hub involved with any major trade guilds?
No, we are not. We operate entirely on our own and have no affiliation with any guilds. Everyone is treated equally on the ESO-Hub Trading platform.
How are the suggested prices calculated?
First, all listings of an item on a server (EU or NA) are grouped together. Then, a formula for outlier elimination is used to eliminate ridiculous prices (low and high) from the dataset. Once that is done, we take the median 10% of listings and use those as the suggested price.
Some items don't have a suggested price, why is that?
A suggested price is only added if we have a certain amount of listings available. For some items, we may not have enough confidence to give suggested prices, and therefore, they will not have price suggestions.
