How to Get a Max Level Crafter in 14 Minutes

In this guide, we’ll show you how to quickly level all of your crafting skill lines to 50 in The Elder Scrolls Online. Whether you're a new player or already have a max-level crafter, this method will be the most efficent.

Preparation and Setup

Before you begin there is a small amount of set up that will help us gain a 150% insperation boost. Ensure you have the following:

- In the green CP tree apply 45 Champion Points into the Inspiration Boost passive for 30% increased boost to crafting insperation.

- Subscribe to ESO Plus for an additional 10% boost to crafting insperation.

- If possible, create an Orc character for an extra 10% insperation boost.

- I would strongly recomend waiting for crafting bonus events like the Crafter Celebration or Seal of Zenthar to gain 100% additional crafting inspiration.

- Note that XP potions and scrolls will not impact how fast your skillines leveled since it is based on inspiration not crafting XP.

- You’ll also need some starting gold to purchase materials. If you’re low on gold, check out our gold-making videos.

Leveling The Skillines

- Provisioning is the fastest and cheapest to max. Purchase a level 1 recipe, such as Baked Potato, from any chef. Buy 1,000 potatoes, which should cost around 10,000 gold. Craft all at a provisioning table, and you’ll reach level 50 instantly.

- Alchemy, acquire 1,000 grease and two other cheap ingredients, such as nirnroot or blue entoloma. This should cost approximately 93,000 gold. Craft the potions, and you'll max Alchemy in seconds.

- Enchanting requires 72 purple Truly Superb Glyphs. Purchase them for around 2,000 gold or less each or craft them yourself on another character / have a friend craft them using raw materials, reducing the cost to approximately 30,000 gold. Deconstruct the glyphs at an enchanting table to reach level 50.

- Blacksmithing, Clothing, Woodworking, and Jewelry Crafting, focus on deconstructing CP 150 or CP 160 intricate gear. For Blacksmithing, Clothing & Woodworking, Purchase 144 intricate items per skill line, which may cost up to 400 gold each, totaling 172,000 gold for all three skil lines. Jewelry crafting items may cost more, 800 gold per intricate item and up to 115,000 gold in total. Deconstruct these items to quickly max each crafting line.

Leveling Additional Characters

Once your first character is maxed, you can efficiently level additional characters at a lower cost.

- Use your max-level crafter to create the Truly Superb Glyphs glyphs and CP 150/160 base gear for Blacksmithing, Clothing & Woodworking. Transfer these via the bank to your other characters for deconstruction. This method significantly reduces the gold required while maintaining speed.

- Use the same methods as above for the other skillines as they are already the most cost effective.

Final Thoughts

By following this guide, you can level a crafting character from 1 to 50 in every skill line in as little as 14 minutes, spending a worst-case total of around 500,000 gold. Subsequent characters can be leveled for a fraction of this cost. Once your characters are ready, explore our guide on daily crafting writs to generate millions of gold weekly.
