Crafting in ESO is a deep and rewarding system that allows you to create powerful gear, consumables, and furnishings. There are seven primary crafting professions: Blacksmithing, Clothing, Woodworking, Jewelry Crafting, Enchanting, Alchemy, and Provisioning. Each profession utilizes specific raw materials found throughout Tamriel or acquired through deconstruction. To get started, find a crafting station in any major city. You can learn all professions on a single character, but specializing in a few is often more efficient due to skill point limitations. Researching traits on items is crucial for crafting powerful gear with specific bonuses. Daily crafting writs, available from notice boards in cities, are an excellent way to gain experience, gold, and valuable crafting materials. Investing skill points into crafting passives will improve your efficiency, allow you to craft higher-tier items, and unlock master writs for even greater rewards.
