Woodworking RestStaff

Woodworking in progress of a Restoration Staff.

Woodworking is a Crafting skill in The Elder Scrolls Online.

Overview[]

As with other crafting skills, it is necessary to extract raw materials into craftable ingredients before crafting with Woodworking. Wood is required and can be gathered throughout Tamriel using an axe on logs found on the ground. Once the wood has been extracted into sanded wood, the player may create shields, bows, and staves.

To use the Woodworking skill, players must use a Woodworking Station.

Each craftable item has a minimum and maximum number of wood. For example, a Bow may require a minimum of 3 Sanded Maple, and take a maximum of 9. With each piece of Sanded Maple added to the 3, the damage and level requirement increases.

It is also necessary for players to use Style Materials according to the style they wish to craft. By default they are only able to craft their own race's styles. The necessary stones may be purchased from any crafting vendor.

Type[]

There are several types of equipment that players may create:

Weapons[]

  • Bow
  • Inferno Staff

Leveling tips[]

  • Investing 30 Champion Points into The Tower constellation will increase the crafting inspiration by 20%. Therefore, leveling crafting skills will require less materials and time.
  • An active ESO Plus membership also grants additional inspiration.
  • Deconstructing looted shields, Restoration Staves and Destruction Staves is cheap way to level up Woodworking. They are a common drop, and they can be acquired while questing or doing other activities. In addition, deconstructing items will grant the player crafting materials which can be used to further increase the skill.
  • The Keen Eye: Wood, Lumberjack Hireling, and Wood Extraction passive skills are useful to obtain crafting materials.
  • A Skill Point should be spent on Woodworking every five ranks. It will allow crafting higher level items, which will grant a notably higher experience than lower level items.
  • Players receive less experience from deconstructing items crafted by themselves. Finding another player who is also leveling up Woodworking and trading the items crafted in order to deconstruct the other player's items is an efficient way of recovering materials.
