Farming Style Materials

One lucrative way to make gold in The Elder Scrolls Online is by deconstructing unique set pieces on a maxed-level crafter to obtain style materials that can be sold for profit. Style materials are used to craft weapons, armor, and housing furniture in the game. This method can be especially profitable when a new chapter or DLC is released, as players rush to buy the latest style materials for crafting and decorating their houses with new furnishings.

Getting Started

To get started with this method, you’ll need a maxed-level crafter with high levels in Clothing, Blacksmithing, and Woodworking skills. Unique set pieces can be obtained by completing dungeons, farming overland bosses, or purchasing them from guild traders. Be mindful of the item’s price and the style material’s value to ensure you’re making a good return on your investment.



Once you’ve obtained the unique set pieces, deconstruct them on your maxed-level crafter to obtain the style materials. The amount of material you receive will vary based on the item’s quality and your crafting skill level.

How to Profit

After obtaining the style materials, you can sell them on guild traders in the most popular trading cities in ESO, such as Rawl'kha, Mournhold, and Wayrest. Monitor material prices to ensure you’re selling them at a fair value and making a profit.

Some style materials are more popular than others, especially those used for housing furniture. For example, Dragon Bone is a sought-after style material. Focus on obtaining these high-demand materials and price them accordingly.



In conclusion, deconstructing unique set pieces for style materials is a profitable gold-making method, especially around the release of new chapters or DLCs. Keep track of material prices and focus on obtaining the most popular ones. Good luck!

Final Advice

- Check guild traders daily for new set items listed at a fair price that you can deconstruct. While you can check more often, once a day is usually sufficient.

- If you’re farming dungeons for rarer style materials, bring a good group of players to make the process more efficient.

- Always check the price of style materials and set a limit on how much you’re willing to pay for set items to deconstruct. This ensures you’re making an overall profit.
