how do i make levelling enjoyable?

[Raiden - In Flames 🎵]

i have a difficult time enjoying the game because alot of classes lack aoe or when they do get aoe it's usually really low damage. how do people with no CP go through the levelling process?

im currently a stamina nightblade and it sucks to level with. shoul di focus on getting an armor set. i'm currently levelling as umbral assassin template.(which is probably bad) so any tip and all would be most appreciated.

and yes i know alqast exists but his guides are pretty meh since he focuses on showing complete builds not step by step!

My way to build up a new character is to simply play the story. And take the gear i get, but preferably in Training. If I'm in the mood I make myself a set.
There is no need to grind in ESO, it will only wear you out. But if you want to. Go to Alik'r and kill the undead on the beach or join the Dolmen Groups. Then do the undaunted pledges.

Good Set for Start is a combination of Night Mothers Gaze and Hundings Rage if you can find a crafter (me for example). But i don't recommend it as which each level your gear will do less for your (meaning you lv 50 gear 36, not so effective).

For AOE use a Bow as your second weapon, then Volley and Arrow Spray. Use Soul Trap and the morph until you get Undaunted Trapping webs or Caltrops from the Assault Line.

On my Stamblade I like to use Ambush to clear the Distance, and Drain Power.
If you go for 2 Handed invest a point in Forcefull passive to make it attack more enemies.
If you are going Dual Wield use Whirlwind.

Oh, and put a Werewolf on it if you are into that.

Hm, I like this post. You can follow this if you find yourself undecided yet about what to do until you grasp the works of this game.

I personally wanna add:

- make friends (not easy or comfortable suggestion for gaming nowadays but can happen and if finding the right people will make the game work for all parts involved)

- join guilds (specially after you get ready to trade, and seek a decent trading guild when so)

- fill your stickerbook for future use as well as max you crafting and research (you will use both sooner or later)

- play zone story while growing whichever character. Although the XP comes slow, is still a good amount, and you earn skill points; both things in a dynamic yet relax way.

- Keep gathering information, as there is always something that is there but you missed it or that is just elsewhere or that you may understand it better from another source. Alcast and Skinny Cheeks are the most recommended sources for a reason, but you don't have to limit yourself to them. I'm a Twitch viewer of Skinny Cheeks and reader of Alcast in his websites, but I do consult further as of today. The game is so big, w so many mechanics and items I don't know about as of today, and w so many changes often that keeps me on my toes catching up (at least ESO doesn't choke you w those additions and you do well w just what base game offers and a bit beyond that. Other MMORPG's really choke you w changes and additions that can't be enjoyed).

- Get involved w your character from the core, rather than seek for cookie-cutter formulas and follow blindly. Guides out there are mostly well-intentioned, but can be hard to adjust when they diverge too much into the writer's way to flow rather than be more open to adjust the follower's flow. Create any future character w intention, personality, purpose (like you probably did w your 1st) in every detail: name, gender, appearance, combination of race and class (min/max within your like, don't just make that Orc you don't like cuz is stamina meta and find what you like better within the best options). Remember that every character you make is a character you may be staring at for hours... and also something that makes unintentionally a statement for other players around (but you don't have to care about that if you don't feel it).

There is more to say, but then it would be an even larger word wall that would choke you for being unreadable. Hope this helps and enjoy Tamriel.

If you want to a quick lvl up, and earn money. Just play the normal dungeons and sell everything you get, put your role as for example a healer, so you que faster.

As others have said, on your first character especially, don't grind level up. You won't learn anything. Do the storylines, equip what drops for you. Only consider building a proper character when you reach CP160. Up to then it's just building up your attributes, opening your skills and having fun.

Follow this to help you level in a structured way so you don't have a squishy character:

This is not a build, this just shows you how to try things out so you find your own way.

Play the main quest line and zone stories.

^^ + It is more of a marathon (not sprint).

go through story quests, collect skyshards (skill points); make gold - do dailies, even make couple other characters(as said above) and start training mount, steal with this other characters, find some public dungeon (for gold and exp - deshan and malabal tor are not bad), if you have eso+ after level 10 - 15 start daily crafting on them, if you don't focus on gold to upgrade bank and character inventory first (enough guides for inventory management), crafting helps to be self-sustainable for armor crafting and upgrades and gold(!).

Either follow alcast grind guides or wait for double exp event... i find it boring compared to playing through quests.

Learn how game functions - damage, buffs, debuffs, armor types, skills - active and passive food/drinks. Learn your characters - it is way more important than having high CP. (alcast does good work in explaining all this.)

Nightblade is a class that appeals to me ! However as you level up the build gets weaker and weaker ! I have abandoned 3 builds already i am now concentrating on a stam dual wieldinf nightblade ! at level 10 it was looking great at level 20 not so great ! now at level 23 ??? it sucks ! ... i am now finding i am unable to dodge during combat , i am almost ready to accept that night blade has been crippled by the devs ! ,.,, It was i am told devastating until the devs sorted the faction out ! .. Now its pure pants

Hm, strange. Is this your first char or a new one?
You get a buff in the beginning that levels you up to CP160 as this is the level of the world, with each level you gain the buff goes down and you get weaker, you have to compensate it by setting the attribute points, by wearing better gear and by setting the CP later. So if you wear the same gear with lv 23 as with 20 you actually are weaker. You'll have to pull trough as this effect will hit you with every class.

you dont.

[Blade12775]

Play how you want to play. The game levels with you so you don't need to grind if you don't want to. Personally, I stick to the story and side quest. I fight from A to B only.
