Guide for crafting inspiration "jump points"?

Feric51 · February 2019

I'm on console and don't have access to the amount of raw inspiration gained from deconstructing various level materials, and as I'm getting ready to grind out enchanting and jewelry crafting on 10 alts + 2 necromancers come Elsweyr I figured it would be helpful to know the inspiration caps at various levels so I can maximize my resources to craft glyphs/jewelry on my main for my alts.

Does anyone on PC have a good guide out there to this information?

I know I've seen something along these lines on the forums before, but after 15 minutes of dealing with the forums' horrible search engine I'm fed up.

Thanks in advance.

There are two tables 1) inspiration cap value/jump points (which are approximate, but you can calculate the best value yourself if suggestions there are not good enough) and 2) inspiration gains from glyph decons for enchanting leveling: http://www.sunshine-daydream.us/ESO/enchanting.html#Eleveling

And here for jewelry crafting: http://www.sunshine-daydream.us/ESO/jewelry.html#Jleveling

Pretty comprehensive, maybe you will have to do some calculations yourself to optimize the resources according to the current state of the rune and jewelry market

As someone who has leveled more than a dozen alts to 50 in Enchanting, here is the way to go about it.

On one character, make glyphs using jejota up to about L15 in the craft, decon on another alt your leveling. Then use the blue aspects up to about L25, then decon on an alt. Rekutas up to about L46 or so. Then learn all the essences and potencies, potencies you can buy from an enchanter. Then polish off the last level or 2 with rekutas.

As for jewelry, you will probably spend more time acquiring the lower level items to be efficient in your inspiration than just buying the CP150/CP160 stuff. Also, since Jewelry Master Writs are still way too expensive to do, it is really questionable to level alts in that craft. Me, I just putter along deconning whatever mob loot I get on my alts and they all do Tier 1 writs.

@NoTimeToWait Thank you!

@Nestor Thanks for the enchanting tips. I have acquired all the runes I'll ever need, I just didn't want to waste Rekuta when a Jejota or Denata would equal the same inspiration. Your information will help.

Regarding the jewelry. I have a decent collection of mid-tier jewelry materials just from doing the jewelry writs every day on my main, so I figured I'd burn through those just for a reason to use them. The main reason(s) I want to do max-tier jewelry writs isn't for Master Jewelry Writs (god knows I've destroyed my fair share of those already), but rather because platinum seems to be the cheapest raw material out there, and I'm really trying to increase my odds for Chromium grains. Master writs will continue to go into the garbage heap.

With the upcoming changes to material rewards, doing max-tier writs will become even more economical with the return platinum in the reward coffer. I realize Tier-1 writs are almost a break-even, but I'd rather have the extra shot at Chromium with the current cheap rate of Platinum, even at guild trader prices.

So far I've just been buying a bunch of cheap treasure maps and farming them. They seem to have about a 50% chance to drop blue quality jewelry.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback guys.

Well if you will also be doing BS-WW-Cloth as well, I was bored one day and have this:

If I remember this is with ESO+ but no CP
