what should i do with my crafted gears for experience?

KoSeKu · March 2020

so i am new to game and i am leveling my crafting skills by crafting some items but i dont want to deconstruct them because it barely gives me exp back, i dont want to vendor them too because its too much loss, so i am trying to find a place to sell or trade them with players but i cant find any. what am i supposed to do with them?

To sell to other players you can either join a guild and then list the item(s) you want to sell or offer them in zone chat.

If you want to level crafting skills, you're better off simply deconstructing the trash gear that drops. It gives more inspiration than crafting gear.

Nestor · March 2020

The best way to level Gear Crafting, and Enchanting, is to deconstruct mob loot. Making gear gives little Inspiration. Now, deconning the gear you made on one alt with another alt gives the Inspiration you expect. But you are still better farming mobs for loot.

Best mobs to farm are Zombies and Bloodspawn as they are squishy, and respawn fast, and drop gear, gold and glyphs.

Alchemy is best leveled making potions
Provisioning is best leveled making the highest level Green Recipes you can.
Enchanting, make the Glyphs on one character, decon on another character.

You could also pass it onto another character of yours, they'll receive full decon bonuses for it.

Are you not on PC/NA? maybe no one wants to buy becuase you cannot craft gear they want to buy yet? Crafting good CP160 set gear is a big time investment, and you most likely can't yet.

Selling stuff via zone chat is tricky. It's not something people don't do by any means, but it's most commonly used either for bulk crafting materials, or big/currently relevant items (current mask style drops, event drops, etc.) and definitely not as easily done as using a guild trader. People might just not be buying what you're selling.

No, dont stop. Do your daily crafting missions and the research and deconstruct all your loot. You have to adventure or you dont get enough skill points to fill the crafting trees.

Then what you're selling is simply not something many people will want to buy. You'd have to find someone who wants to buy your stuff to decon to level their own crafting via zone chat, and those people are overshadowed by those trading with friends/guildies, buying from guild traders, and those that favor using intricate gear for the purpose. It's unfortunately just not a very lucrative market.

Yeah, that's a hard sell. My first character, I just used whatever pieces dropped in Training trait. Now that character crafts 5-piece bonus sets for any new characters, e.g. once a new magicka-based character leaves the tutorial, they suit up in 5 Julianos and 5 Seducer.

I have managed to sell white/green non-set level 1 Training gear on a guild store, but sometimes it didn't sell, even for almost nothing.

I make money from crafting, but it's not from selling things to other people; it's from daily writs. I also loot everything (unless I'm in a group riding across Cyrodiil, etc.) and so tend to be able to craft all potions, food, etc. for my characters without buying a thing.

Nestor · March 2020

If you are looking to make gold from crafting, Crafting Writs are your best source. L50 or CP ranked characters, even when doing the lowest level writs, can clear 4600 to 5200 in gold per character per day. A little less if you do not have ESO Plus.

Research your traits, you need to at least 6 on each item to make gear most people will want. That will take a couple months, if you dont by research boosters in the crown store.
