    I like Rawl'kha, Mournhold and Riften and float between all three. I am annoyed that the DC major cities all have such crappy layouts. I guess Shornhelm is ok, but not nearly as well laid out as some of the AD or EP cities.

    I love the efficiency of rawlkha, but as an AD player it's super packed which means longer load times and crashes. So I use shadowfen as my main base. All the crafting stations are in a nice little loop so it's super efficient for doing writs

    Enjoy it while it lasts. Once One Tamriel hits, and all players are in the same instance, so to speak, I think it won't be as quiet or as lag-free.

    Mistral.

    I've fully upgraded my horse, so I don't need to visit stables.

    At Mistral, you can hit the enchanting table, woodworking table, smithery and clothier table, then hit the bank, and go back to the wayshrine in a circle.

    It all depends on where u are in the game.

    Where u are as in what you're logging in to do.
    Faction plays a role too until a few months....


    One of my char kinda stays in the wild
    My crafter stays close to writ towns (when not stuck)
    Other alts get dropped off wherever because there's not point of going to town IMO to log out.

    If I want to go to one, I'll travel to player using Guild roster or a wayshrine and or mail between fitness to resolve inventory issues which don't really exist if someone is using ESO plus and has the merchant assistant or bank assistants.

    I don't really have one. Whatever's closest, usually. If I'm already porting out, I'm most likely to hit Sentinel or Belkarth out of habit, though.

    AD: Rawl'Kha, although I'm usually in Elden Root due to pledge pickup area.
    DC: Shornhelm, but my DC character is in Worthgar for writs.
    EP: Dhalmora in Bal Foyen. There is a building with bank, crafting locations, merchants all together. Bleakrock Isle is good, unless you do the quests

    Velyn Harbor, AD, in Malabal Tor zone is pretty good once you finish the quests in the area to retake the town and get the shops opened back up. Early on in my experience with ESO, I was looking at the maps and trying to find a decent spot for this. I noticed the layout of Velyn Harbor and immediately went there at low level via a port to a guildmate I think. I was pretty aggravated when I arrived and immediately died due to the town being taken over by bandits or whatever. :(

    EDIT: Also, the town isn't crowded with players like Rawl'kha, especially on the AD side. Here's a map so you don't have to go look to satisfy any curiosity. Enchanting and alchemy are inside the mages' guildhall I think.
