I can help you out with that. But you are on the Euro Server.

As far as deconning stuff that others make, it is a double edged sword. Unless you are both building up the skill, only one benefits, the deconner. Reason, we get very little Inspiration (crafting exp) from making equipment (unlike Consumable Crafting).

However, I do have a good tip for you to get the decon, and research fodder that you need. Farm Public Dungeons that are near your level. There is one in each Zone, but some are set to the lower level of the zone, so be aware of that as you enter a zone. You can also farm overland mobs and the mobs you deal with on quests too, but the PDs are for dedicated farming of loot. But decon all loot that you don't need for research, and you will grow your skills quite fast. Remember, your not there for Experience, your there for loot, so the group size your with does not matter.

Anyway, empty your bags (use a Mule if you have to) so you can stay in the dungeon as a long as possible and kill mobs and loot. If your by yourself, this can be tricky, but with two or small group, it is easy. I leveled 4 Mules up to L12 in all 3 of the Equipment Crafts in one day by farming zombies and having the mules decon stuff.

Also remember you only need to raise the crafting skill if you need to get to the next tier. Once you have the min skill to unlock a new material for your character's level, you can craft the entire range of that material as your character grows.

I would put points into the Extraction and Research passives as they unlock to make this more efficient. And, the Passives for Temper usage can wait as most gear does not need to go above Green while your leveling. I never made any Blue gear until I was in my 40's, and Purple until I was at VR Ranks. I have yet to make anything Gold.

Honestly, you won't need to find a crafting buddy. As long as you're a player that doesn't rush about and continually skip enemies you'll end up with all the weapons and armour you'll ever want to deconstruct to aid your crafting. Also remember to research, that will help you with inspiration. Finally, there are crafting writs these days too, which are not so difficult to do, and will reward you with quite a nice amount of inspiration among other things

Note that the only profession that really doesn't apply to is Enchanting, as it's still relatively challenging to learn alone. But that I mean it just takes more time.

Public dungeons are a handy place yes, especially for glyphs for enchanting, but to a lesser degree for arms and armour also.

Thank you, Rev Rielle! That's great advice. I'm primarily solo, exploring the world to completion like I did Oblivion and Skyrim, so I'm glad to hear this won't hold me back. Thank you for the heads up on the dungeon.

Welcome to TESO ChloeWilde.

If you mail @Turelus materials of any quality I will be more than happy to craft things and send them back for you, as well as craft any items you need for research free of charge, with the exception of Nirnhoned items due to the high cost of the item.

If you want to skip the gold costs of constant mails you're also welcome to add me as a friend and we can meet up and trade if you're playing for the EP faction, if not it will have to be via mails sorry.

If another player who can benefit from deconstruction of what you make happens to post though I will step aside for that person so they can gain the inspiration as well.

Wow, thank you so much, Turelus! I can't tell you how much I appreciate that. I currently main in DC, but I'll be joining EP this week with an alt so I will be sure to add you! Thank you again.

I am playing on Xbox One EU Servers for the EP Alliance. I am in love with blacksmithing and have already spent a whole lot of money on the skil.. I would love to be your blacksmith partner!
