CRafting Woodworking guidePlease see the following: Elder Scrolls OnlineDetails on crafting and levelling fast Shields Bows Staves WoodworkingIt is very similar to the profession of Blacksmithing ClothingThe rules are generally the same. The Woodworker vocation is very useful for end game players, because there are some fantastic Sets that have always remained strong (namely Hunding’s Rage and Law of Julianos). Max level in Woodworker also lets you improve any acquired Purple Gear to Legendary Gear, which is extremely valuable to complete end game sets. This vocation can still be used as long as you are leveling up. The material cost of lower-level Crafted Sets will not increase. Just keep in mind that until you reach the Champion Ranks, it may be more trouble than it’s worth, as you will quickly “out level” it.

ESO Woodworking: The Basics

Woodworking Crafting ESOStart by engaging with others Woodworking StationAll over the globe. Register to be certified. WritsVisit MillenithNear any area of starting Fighter’s Guild, Vivec (MorrowindAlinor (Summerset

WritingAfter completing her quest, you will unlock them. Six options are available when you interact with Woodworking Station:

Refine

The refining of converts Raw Woodworking MaterialsTo Woodworking Processed MaterialsThis can be used for crafting GearYou can find it here. You can find raw Woodworking materials in the form harvestable Branches. These Branches are often found close to Trees. Also, refining raw materials can yield valuable products. Resins used to improve gear. You have a greater chance to acquire Resin. Wood Extraction passive.

Creation

Creation Tab is used to craft gear. Crafting gear is done in Creation Tab. ShieldsClick on the Helmet Icon at the top-right corner. You will need the following information to make an item:

  1. Pick which product you would like to create
  2. Select the WoodType and amount (amount affects level), press + icons to change amount)
  3. Choose Style which determines how gear looks. Unlocking new Styles is done by acquiring Motifs which usually drop anywhere randomly, but can also be obtained in other manners. Style materials are acquired through deconstructing, refining and via vendor that usually stands near the Woodworking Station.
  4. The final optional step is to choose a Trait. Trait materials are obtained by deconstructing gear and refining Rough Wood)

Deconstruct

Deconstruction means destroying an item in order to get materials from it and Inspiration (Crafting XP). It is primary way of leveling Woodworking since it gives more Inspiration than Creation. Keep in mind that you do not get much Inspiration from deconstructing items that you craft yourself, but you do from items others have crafted.

Improvement

Improvement means upgrading item quality. More materials used equals a higher chance of success. Items are destroyed upon failure, so ideally you would want to use enough materials to reach 100%. Improvement materials can be found by deconstructing items and refining Wood.

Research

Traits are researched through this option. Items can be researched only if they have magnifying glass icon next to it. Upon successful Trait Research, you are given an option to use that Trait in Creation but only for that same piece of equipment you acquired trait from. For example, if Powered trait has been researched from Restoration Staff, you can use Powered trait on any future Restoration Staff created.

Blueprints

The Blueprints option is used to create Furnishings. Recipes for more Furnishings drop randomly and can be also bought from Guild Traders and Guild Stores. These usually require a special material called Heartwood in order to create. Heartwood is acquired randomly from looting Wood nodes.

ESO Woodworking: Traits, Crafted Sets & Transmutation

Researching Traits on every piece of equipment is very important for multiple reasons. Firstly, when out in the world you will stumble upon Special Crafting Stations where you can craft Sets that give specific Set Bonuses. These bonuses depend on the Crafting Station, and every Set has Trait Requirements, meaning if you did not research enough Traits for that piece of equipment you wont be able to craft it.

Example:

At this crafting station 3 Traits researched for any piece of equipment are needed.

Crafting Torug’s Pact Bow

So if I want to craft a Bow of Torug’s Pact I need to have any 3 Traits researched for Bows. If I want to craft a Shield of Torug’s Pact 3 Traits must also be researched, but for Shields. Do not forget that at Special Crafting Stations every vocation’s Station will produce the same Set Bonuses. For example if you use the Jewelry Station at this same location, Torug’s Pact Rings and Necklaces can be crafted as well.

Another important aspect of having all Traits researched is that you can utilize Transmutation. Transmutation offers an option to change Traits on equipment, however, it does bind that item in the process to you. Bound items are non-tradeable but can still be deconstructed or used on alternate characters via your BankThis is a list of. Transmutation can only be done in the Clockwork City DLC area or at any player housing that possesses a Transmutation Station. Visit the Hall of Refined Techniques in Brass Fortress to start Transmuting.

Transmutation Process

In order to Transmute an item you’ll need:

Transmute Crystals are obtained via Daily Random DungeonsVeteran DungeonsTrialsUndaunted PledgesPvP and Holiday Events. They usually come in the form of Transmutation Geodes that need to be opened via your inventory. The amount each Geode possess is somewhat randomized, with higher quality ones possessing more. Keep in mind that you cannot store more than the cap (200) in your inventory, so don’t open your Geodes if you are already there, as anything higher will be forfeit.

ESO Woodworking Skills

Upgrading Woodworking Skills is crucial to creating powerful equipment while also being efficient to reduce the leveling grind. Upgrading these passives is done by investing Skill Points into them. Skill Points are earned through various means such as leveling up, doing quest chains with skill points as a reward, non repeatable dungeon quests, Skyshards and ranking up in PvP.

Keen Eye: Wood

Rough Wood is relatively easy to spot, making this passive optional, but it doesn’t hurt to place one point here if you can spare it.The Hireling passive enables a Hireling to collect Woodworking Materials while a player is offline.
