I used to think Belkarth, but then Vvardenfell came out, and now it's definitely Vivec City!

I like Craglorn best for layout and work flow. It's too bad there's no house there, but after testing other places Craglorn is just most comfortable so I'll stick with it. Maybe they'll stick a rental room in the inn someday.

Base game: Shornhelm, Rivenspire because of lower pop and though you need to go around the corner for the consumable ones, the buildings are next door and have a cooking fire in the enchanting building. There is also cooking fire in the bank, in case you forgot at the enchanting building/don't do consumables.

Chapters: if you have your own banker, Alinor, Summerset no question.

If you do not have crown banker, Vivec City, Vvardenfell.

I have the banker but I still prefer Vivec City because of the easy access to full banker so I can access guild banks and guild stores. I often sell or donate items from my writ rewards. Also the outlaws refuge is right there if I also need to fence or claim my upteenth unmarked sack.

still vivec and reapers march for casually upgrading riding for secondary characters

I have been doing all my writs in Vivec City, everything is so close together. Two banks in the middle, all crafting tables and writ boards all within close walking distance and the supply area where you turn in the writs is close by on the docks.

No horse to feed = Mournhold
Horse to feed = Craglorn

Distance from Bank, Stable, Guild Traders, and Wayshrine prevent Alinor from being perfect, though it does have proximity to a geyser and ease of joining Cloudrest farming groups in its favor.

Vivec and Rawl are still better all-around choices, but it's irritating that jewelry writs get picked up at the equipment board and get crafted with the consumables, creating either backtracking or a really inefficient loop. Actually - that's true of every town.

Since the point was brought up a few times, what does everyone consider to be part of "doing crafting writs"? I include the selling of ornate items, deconstruction of intricate ones, etc. as part of mine, and when the crafters are at max level, that starts to involve the bank for passing them down to characters that still need the inspiration.

Whether I do the reward disposal at the end of the cycle, or make it part of the next visit to the crafting station, also varies with level. Master crafters dispose as it comes in, others while making. What do you all do?

Things like that make a difference in how important the distance between the crafting stations and the turn-in becomes in your calculations. Same for the bank. If it's part of the cycle, because you're passing items down, then its location factors in more.

Rivenspire for provisioning, blacksmith, clothier, woodworker and horse. One port to craglorn for enchanting, alchemy and deliver. Easier done than said
