Just turned vR15 today. Where do I find the crafting materials? Can I mine/ harvest them?

    You can harvest them in Wrothgar, but only if you have skillpoints into that craft. The harvesting nodes scale to your crafting ability. Otherwise, you can purchase them in IC with Tel Var Stones, or get them by deconstructing gear that is lvl 15-16. You can also buy them from guild stores.

    If you have Orsinium DLC there is a chance you will encounter them if you are maxed in crafting skill lines and have 9 points in them, or if you have Imperial City DLC you can farm for Tel Var stone and buy them from vendors in the safe zone of your alliance, or you can buy them from guild store for gold.

    Deconstructing all your v15-16 vendor trash is also a good way to get them.

    To clarify for the OP, you need to spend 9 skill points to get from 1 to 10, the top level (skill 1 is free). You need to be at 10 for the top mats.

    Vr15~16 resource nodes only spawn for you if you have teh skillpoints to use those materials, and only in zones that scale to your level. eg, Cyrodiil, and Wrothgar (only these 2, really).
    In Imperial City you'll also find mobs of those levels that drop items you can decon to get those mats. In all of those 3 zones, any chests a vr 15~16 opens will also have *most of the time* items ranked vr15~16, that you can decon as well.


    You kinda can also buy them from guild vendors, but honestly, any more than 50g per piece on is a serious rip-off.

    Also, because they are so rare, don't make V15 gear - wait until you are V16 and start saving them up because you will need a lot.

    The difference between v15 and v16 is like 2-300 something like that so yeah v16 is worth it!

    Is it, now? Well, then we all better sell the decon stuff to NPCs, since they net you 78g per piece, what with them dropping at most a single craft material...

    Indeed, current rates for leather/cloth on the EU PC server is in the 200g upwards per piece range because that's what the low supply level meeting the high demand leads to in the game economy - and that has dropped A LOT since IC first launched.

    Metal is cheaper and by about a half and wood cheaper still because both are more common/less demanded.

    Unless ZOS up the drop rates of these materials or reduce the pieces needed for VR16 gear then these rates are liable to stay high for some time to come.

    They drop quite commonly during dungeons if you use the group finder.

    I've gotten on average 8 pieces of ruby wood, rubedite ingots and ancestors silk per run.

    Dont forget that deconstructing gives you x1 material. Or i was really unlucky, never got at least x2 or more per piece deconustructed. And you need 130 on one piece of armor for vr16 ^^

    Yeh, my reply was supposed to be a bit sarcastic, since the poster I quoted seems to have lost the grip on reality a bit.

    I was agreeing with your disagreeing :)
