My Favorite Crafting Hubs In ESO

Crafting in The Elder Scrolls Online is a vital side activity. If you’re patient enough and max out all, or some of the professions, you can make a lot of gold by selling gear, especially by crafting sets. So if you choose this path, you’ll spend many hours at crafting hubs. Every zone has crafting hubs, but some are better than others. When I do my daily crafting routine, I choose the hub I will be using considering some factors. The main deciding factor for me is loading screens. No loading screen between stations means I can finish my writs faster. The second most important thing to consider is how close the stations are to each other. The third important aspect is how far the turning-in spot is. With these criteria in mind, here are my favorite crafting hubs in The Elder Scrolls Online.

Alinor – Summerset

Alinor, the beautiful greek-ish city is located in the southwest region of Summerset. Its crafting hub is one of the dense ones. Given its quadratic design and the absence of loading screens, it attracts players to get their crafting work done. The turn-in spot is close to the stations. The only downsides are: the stables and guild traders are far away in the city, and at peak hours it’s very crowded, which can lead to performance issues.

Rimmen Artisans District

In the charming North region of Elsweyr, is Rimmen’s Artisans District. Its market-like shape helps in navigating through the different stations, and the turn-in spot is relatively close. The only downside of this hub is the same as for Alinor, the guild traders and the stables are far away.

Vivec City

On the outskirts of the warrior poet’s city, this settlement-like crafting hub is my all-time favorite in ESO. I used it for months when I started the game. It’s the most straight-forwarded hub in my opinion. The turn-in spot is literally in the hub, and the guild traders and stables are very near. The only downside of this hub is it’s always crowded.
