Leveling tips

 * Investing 30 Champion Points into The Tower constellation will increase the crafting inspiration by 20%. Therefore, leveling crafting skills will require less materials and time.
 * An active ESO Plus membership also grants additional 10% inspiration.
 * Deconstruct jewelry looted from dolmens, chests, or other sources.
 * Keen Eye: Ore, Miner Hireling, Metal Extraction passive skills are useful to obtain crafting materials.


 * Players receive less experience from deconstructing items crafted by themselves. Finding another player who is also leveling up Jewelry Crafting and trading the items crafted in order to deconstruct the other player's items is an efficient way of recovering materials.

 * Note that jewelry acquired before Summerset cannot be deconstructed, but can be used for research.
