I enjoyed the craft challenges and appreciate the workstations. I do not understand how the workstations are to be used so they are sitting silently in my inventory.

Just wanted to add my gratitude for this campaign. While I still have a fair bit left to do ( I don’t enjoy rushing through content) it feels meaningful with generous rewards!

I have to "consume" the craft station near a craftable world set craft station, after that, the craft station could be put in your house and used.

It is sad that one reward is not accessible for base game, giving the fact it need to use jewelry and I don't validate it before the end of eso+ trial.

Hopefully it is not a big one (5 vouchers)

ETA: Ignore all this. Leaving for context.
I have finished the Pursuit one an account without ESO+. I claimed the capstone reward, the 4 attunable craft stations, although I can't attune them because I don't have access to any attune locations.

But I can't place them in my home! I bought the Snugpod to have a house with room. They're in my inventory, but there's no way to place them. "Use" means attune. I thought they could be used as normal stations until they were attuned?

I finished the capstone reward the day after the rare ESO+ trial ended. /facepalm
Are they just going to clutter up my sparse inventory until the next ESO+ trial?

EDIT: Okay, Vvardenfell is base game now. And it has three set stations. Shacklebreaker isn't terrible for an account that does't haven have access to champion points yet, but while Daedric Trickery is a fine PvP set, not much use here. And Assassin's Guile isn't useful either.
I will wait until I can attune this to Order's Wrath or maybe Tideborn, if Solitude becomes part of ESO+ as planned.

But Order's Wrath with the great bonuses and only needing 3 traits is my go-to for beginners!

But what I want NOW is to be able to use these stations at standard crafting stations. Why can't I?

You need to quickslot the Attunable Crafting Stations and use them at any Set Station across Tamriel, like you would use a Repair Kit in Cyrodiil.

Seriously? This can be done?

I didn't know they could be quickslotted, that's good to know. But I do know how to attune them.
ETA: Ignore. Leaving for context.
My point is, I don't have access to any set locations I want to attune. So until I have a free ESO+ week again, they're just taking up inventory space. Why can't I use them as normal crafting stations until then?

Because they're still consumable items and haven't become actual crafting stations yet. They will only turn into crafting stations the moment you attune them to a set at the set's location "in the wild".

Btw, you don't need to quickslot them. Just double click the individual items in your inventory when you're at a set location.

My point is this:
For accounts that don't have access to ESO+, or haven't bought any of the chapters/DLCs, the tables, as they are awarded, aren't much use, until the next Free ESO+ week.

I could attune them to the Vvardenfell sets, but none of those are very useful for non-PVPers.

ZoS_Kevin, would it be possible to make attunable tables, that haven't yet been attuned, function as standard crafting tables?

I guess I don't understand the issue here. There are set crafting areas all around vanilla areas, and while those sets may not be "meta" there are several very serviceable ones. Use Home Tours to find an open house with crafting stations? Or use guild finder to join a guild with all the stations?

(Note: this is for an alt account. My main account, with ESO+, has the master crafting stations and is slowly filling them. So I'm just pointing out what was probably an unintended consequence to ZoS.)

I have access to guild halls, and all the sets. The point is, the reward for this golden pursuit is inventory clutter for accounts without access to ESO+, and who don't want to attune the (mostly useless for PvE) Vvardenfell sets, since AFAICT, those are the only sets attunable to people without ESO+.
So 4 very valuable crafting stations are sitting useless in a coffer until the next free ESO+ event. I would much rather be able to use them as crafting tables in my house while I wait for the next free ESO+ event.
The reward is quite nice for those with ESO+, or those who happened to finish the Pursuit before the ESO+ week that overlapped it ended.

Without ESO+ or direct access to any DLCs, all craftable base game sets can be used for attuning (from the base game regions and special areas like the the Earth Forge and Eyevea) , also the sets from Cyrodiil and the Imperial City. Why do you think only Vvardenfell sets can be used?

Oh for crying out loud, Allo! I am an idiot. i even crafted a base-game set today.

Talk about getting into a mental rut. Thank for pointing that out. I withdraw ... everything.
