The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind Guide › Combat, Crafting, and Activities › Crafting

Crafting Sites and Sets

In addition to the crafting stations for each profession, there are special stations available at specific crafting sites across Tamriel, indicated by the icon shown. These are of particular importance, as you can craft sets of items, which enable additional bonuses (usually combat-related) to be imbued. Only certain crafting sites allow the creation of craftable sets, and sets are only available to the Blacksmithing, Clothing, and Woodworking professions.

Depending upon your alliance, specific locations allow the creation of certain sets, usually one site per alliance territory, or neutral zones for other set types. After researching a given number of traits, you utilize the crafting site and craft the effects of the set for your chosen equipment. Note the minimum number of traits you need to craft a set is two, and the maximum is nine.

There are other craftable sets, available once you’ve completed quests for certain guilds, such as the Fighters Guild or Mages Guild.

Non-Craftable Sets of Items

There are other sets of items you can obtain: Arena Sets, Dungeon Sets, Monster Helm Sets, Overland Sets, PvP Sets, and Trial Sets. These are found or purchased while undertaking the activities denoted in their titles. For example, Dungeon Sets are found after tackling underbosses and bosses in a particular dungeon.

Example Crafting Set: Death’s Wind

You’ve decided you wish to take advantage of the bonuses of the Death’s Wind set. You’ve researched two traits and can therefore create this set. You’re part of the Aldmeri Dominion alliance, so you journey to the Eastshore Islets Camp in Auridon, where the specific crafting site for making this set resides. You can then add the effects of this set to two to five items of equipment you’re wearing or using. You receive bonuses to your Physical Resistance (two items) and Maximum Health (three and four items), and acquire automatic Knockback and Stun effects against enemies if you’re under 35% Health during melee combat (five items). This is in addition to the trait’s effects you may choose to imbue each part of the set with!

HIRELINGS HELPFULNESS

Certain crafts (all but Alchemy) have a passive ability where a Hireling is acquired to forage base materials on your behalf, allowing you to tend to other adventuring matters. There are three ranks to this passive ability, enabling you to receive some relevant goods (as well as rare items related to your craft) once every 24 hours (Ranks 1 and 2) and 12 hours (Rank 3). Note that you must actively retrieve the item from the Hireling via the message you receive from them, rather than simply read the message, to begin the timer again. Be warned: You won’t start the 24 or 12 hour countdown until you do!
