A Dunmer using the Enchanting table
Crafting is one of many different skills that exist in The Elder Scrolls Online. There are several different crafting professions to choose from with crafting, including:
- Alchemy - Crafting potions
- Blacksmithing - Crafting weapons and armors from metals
- Clothing - Crafting armors from leather and cloth
- Enchanting - Crafting jewelry and glyphs
- Provisioning - Creating food and drink
- Woodworking - Crafting bows, staves and shields
Crafting Stations
All characters will be able to take part in all professions immediately without any training. Necessary tools such as pickaxes and fishing rods are built in to the character.
Extraction
Some raw materials need to be converted into craftable ingredients. To do this, they need to be extracted. Materials can only be extracted in stacks of ten, e.g. ten iron ore.
Style Materials
Style Materials are stones that can be purchased from any crafting vendor which determine the style of a crafted armor or weapon. In the beging the Soulless One can craft items only using their own race style. Other styles however can be unlocked using recipies found through out the game.
Crafted Item Sets
Crafted Item Sets can be made by blacksmithing, clothing and woodworking and gives special bonuses to the weapon or armor crafted. Crafting these requires that the player has researched a few different traits already but does not affect which bonuses are given to the set. To gain the bonuses, the Soulless One must wear a given number of set pieces (often three pieces). These sets can only be crafted in certain locations scattered around the world, and different bonuses are found at different crafting stations.
