ESO Enchanting Guide
Enchanting in The Elder Scrolls Online
In The Elder Scrolls Online, enchanting involves creating
Glyphs, which you can use to add special attributes to your
weapons, armor, and even jewelry!
In order to create glyphs, you must combine three different
kinds of Runestones, and these runestones can be found all
throughout Tamriel in rune-nodes.
Leveling Enchanting
Enchanting, as with all trades in The Elder Scrolls Online,
requires that you actually use the trade to level it up.
To start, you are going to need to go and gather enough rune
stones to begin creating glyphs. Once you have done that, find an
Enchanting Station in the nearest town and use it.
When you use the station, you will see the enchanting screen
open, and it will be on the glyph creation screen. Simply click and
drag each rune into the appropriate slot (see the Rune Type section
below for more info) and create your glyph.
To speed up how fast you level up your enchanting,
don't forget to open the extraction screen while you're at the
enchanting station and extract the glyphs you've made. You will
lose out on some materials, but extraction contributes to leveling
up your enchanting skill.
Also extract glyphs that you find when you loot mobs, as this
will cause you to discover rune stone traits, and that will grant
you more enchanting experience.
Enchanting Skills and Maxing Out
To max out your ESO enchanting level, you will need to spend
skill point in the following two Enchanting skill
trees: Aspect Improvement
and Potency Improvement.
All of the other enchanting skills are not required to max your
enchanting level, but they will help. Keen Eye: Runes
Stones will make it easier for you to spot rune stones out in
the world to you can get your mats together more
quickly; Hireling will have a minion mail you rune
stones every day; and Aspect Extraction increases
your chances of extracting an aspect.
Profitibility
The profitibility of Enchanting should be good, as there are
many people who are not interested in the trade skills but are more
interested in questing and dungeons, and they will want to maximize
their potency.
Runes
Below is detailed information on all of the different runes that
can be found in Tamriel and used in the Enchanting profession.
Rune Types
The three different types of runes that must be combined to form
a glyph are: an Essence Rune, a Potency Rune, and an Aspect Rune.
You can tell the type of a rune by its shape, and the shape of the
rune determines which slot it goes in when you are creating
glyphs.
Essence Runes: Triangle
Potency Runes: Square
Aspect Runes: Circle
Rune Functions
Each of the three types of runes serve a different but important
purpose when you are crafting your glyph.
Essence Runes: Determine the type of
enchantment the glyph will have (frost, fire, etc.).
Potency Runes: Determine whether the glyph will
increase or decrease effects (eg: more outgoing damage and less
incoming damage).
Aspect Runes: Determine the glyph's
quality.
