Is there a set that can boots the chance for better loot from chests?

    No.
    However there is a Champion Point you can take that upgrades chests you find one Quality Level.
    It's a "Star", needing socketing, as I recall, in the Green line.

    There are also two passive CP traits that increase gold found in chests (one increases gold wherever you found it, including chests, and one is specifically for chests)

    No. If you want to have better chances of getting better gear drops from treasure chests, you need to slot "Treasure Hunter" on your CP bar.

    PS - You need at least 95CP on the green tree (Craft) to unlock that slottable star.

    It would be nice to have a 'farming set' of gear. But that is not possible at this time.

    A Treasure Hunter Potion would be a great idea. Combined with a Training set as you grind XP or CP.

    We used to have a trait that gave more gold but it is now invigorating I wish they would change it back.

    A set for farming mats would be really nice, but I doubt we'll ever get something like that because of bots, unfortunately. Then again who knows, maybe if they make it a crafted set that requires 8 or even 9 Traits it could work. I can't see any botters being invested enough in the game to spend that much time researching Traits.
    Character List [RP and PvE]:

    Niralae Elsinal: Altmer Stamsorc DPS - Young Altmer with way too much Magicka
    Sarah Lacroix: Breton Magsorc DPS - Fledgling Vampire who drinks too much water
    Slondor: Nord Tankblade - TESified verson of Slenderman
    Marius Vastino: Imperial <insert role here> - Sarah's apathetic sire who likes to monologue
    Delthor Rellenar: Dunmer Magknight DPS - Sarah's ex who's a certified psychopath
    Lirawyn Calatare: Altmer Magplar Healer - Traveling performer and bard who's 101% vanilla bean

    There was a mythic ring they were trying out, haven't heard anything about it in a while:

    Harvester's Hope-Ring

    (1 item) Whenever you gather resources from a harvesting node, gain 1 stack of Harvester, up to 20 stacks max. Each stack of Harvester increases your chance of gathering bonus materials by 10%. Removing this ring removes all stacks of Harvester. Harvester does not affect resources gathered with Crafting Surveys or bonus resources received during holiday events.

    Closest I can think of currently in the game that provides a form of extra loot by filling up your empty soul gems whenever you kill something:

    Oblivion's Edge
    LEVEL 50 - CP 160
    ESO-Hub.com
    Type Dungeon
    ArmorSet bonus
    (2 items) Adds 657 Critical Chance
    (3 items) Adds 129 Weapon and Spell Damage
    (4 items) Adds 129 Stamina Recovery
    (5 items) Adds 258 Weapon and Spell Damage, When you kill an enemy, you fill an empty Soul Gem and heal for 5906 Health. The heal can occur once every 10 seconds and scales off the higher of your Max Magicka or Stamina.


    Other than that a few food or drinks that boost your chance of catching rare fish.

    The rest is handled in the green CP tree.

    Maybe consider some of the speed boosting sets like Fiord’s or the Ring of the Wild Hunt, to reach nodes faster.

    I’ve actually had better luck with Bastian there; occasionally he’ll stop and stare when I pass near a Heavy Sack but I’ve never had Mirri do it.

    For a while in GW2 there was a set that boosted loot drops. But it wasn't long of course before people started complaining on the forums that party members were all wearing loot gear and were not pulling their weight damage wise. Guess what happened? They were removed.

    I expect the same would happen here quick smart.

    a mythic item for farming would be great, something that grant more gold or resources or gear pieces from chests

    Farming set is any set that gives you extra movement speed or stealth, so you can skip pointless combat while farming resources or chests

    Adept Rider is your best bet. It doesn’t “boost loot” but it makes farming nodes/chests/etc much easier.

    Craftable too.

    Yes see that as an issue, now in normals it would not matter that much.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    the problem i have with oblivions edge is that the soul magic passive usually more or less can keep up with filling soul gems without wasting an entire gear set on it, unless you are like buying in bulk empty soul gems just to fill and resell them lol
