ESO Crafting Guide

Crafting in The Elder Scrolls Online should not be taken lightly. Not only do you use valuable skill points to level up the crafting classes, but crafting in general is a lengthy process. You can shorten the crafting process by leveling up your skills, but that takes away skill points you could use for other classes. If you decide to take a crafting class seriously, prepare to invest some time and remember that it will take focus away from other classes. Crafting is a core part of The Elder Scrolls Online. You can certainly choose to avoid it — but you’ll be missing out on a lot of ESO Gold and tons of great gear. It’s also a great way to keep your equipment up to date and recycle unwanted loot.

There are six crafting professions available in ESO: Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Clothing, Enchanting, Provisioning and Woodworking. Alchemists craft potions, Blacksmiths make heavy armor sets and metal-based weaponry, Clothiers create light and medium armor sets, Enchanters add stats to existing gear, Provisioners cook food items and Woodworkers craft wood-based weapons. Determine which profession you’d like to focus on and spend most of your time crafting in that profession. You can select more than one, and in some cases it’s beneficial, since certain aspects of crafting take a considerable amount of time. However, be mindful that you only have so many skill points to use.
