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!

Do daily dungeon, daily battleground (if you have the mood for pvp), roam around the world to complete deleves and take shards to have more skill points. That's pretty much you need to do.

You can get good sets from dungeons, you can get them faster if you asks your group if they want to give you the items. All you need (for pve) is high % critical chance. At CP 160 you should look for more serious sets if you can much

This isn't a direct reply and will sound smartarsed but isn't intended as such.

This is to give you an idea of how hard it doesn't have to be to level up.

I started about 3 weeks ago. Went with Warden and stam, dual blades. No real reason why. Just sounded like fun.

So, my main goal is crafts. I started them all. I run around grabbing up materials and killing trash that gets in the way.

I also do soul shard runs and try to clear a map of them buggers for the extra skill points, and kill some trash that gets in the way.

When I"m out and about doing my thing, there's NPCs that'll come up nagging at me and following around pissing in my ear and "help me!" and stuff. So, I do those quests just to shut them up.

In the beginning, I avoided delvs because scary.

But as I grew devls became cake. So, I got those soul shards too.

Next thing I know, a week or thereabouts ago, I hit level 50. Didn't see it coming. Got in a bit of a panic because I had no clue what CP was, how it works, or if I'd be allowed to still get regular skill points to finish up the passives on my craft skills.

It's been three weeks approx of playing. Now I do group dungeons solo (except the bosses). And never really put much effort or points into battle skills. Just a point here and there when it started to get difficult to kill the trash.

Now, here's the fun part.

I suck at games. I am probably the worst, most noobish player on the planet. I am actually made of weapons grade noobtonium.

So, it wasn't great skill on my part that got me where I'm at.

My advice, relax. Play the game. Don't rush. Screw "templates" at the lower levels and just pump your points into where you think they'll help you best for now. You'll get a skill reset ticket as a daily reward before too long. Once you've got some time under your belt and have a better clue what you're doing, reset and spec then.

This is how i found alot of fun (skip anything when i don't feel like it)
feed your horse, take battlemaster Rviyn daily quest. go pickup crafting dailies (i take all 4 equipment ones and only enchanting from consumables..total 3000gold) and queue for RND. do the crafting dailies(do them in Vvardenfell...=) and RND. que for RBG(select solo), go towards your quest pick some shards on the way. complete one rbg, a quest and continue until you complete all 3 battlemaster's dailies or skip them and move on to pledges. use food, potions, exp scrolls. keep trying different skillbar setups respec is cheap.

Have Fun =)

Run around on the coastline telling yourself you're the only soul who's been there in forever as you grab forgotten chests and ressources along the way and enjoy the view.

One thing this game does really really well in my opinion is interspersing quiet exploration moments with the fighting locations. I do play in first-person view though and don't ride that much. Also fun to explore off the beaten path and find lorebooks here and there.

Until you reach level 50 and champion 160, don't waste any time/resources on armor. Use the best armor you have at that time. Don't go out of your way to focus on sets either. Only items you should keep updated are your weapons.

Get some addons like mappins so you can see things on your map like skyshards so you aren't wondering aimlessly to get more skill points.

Don't waste time on toxic people either. If people are rubbing you the wrong way, just cut them off. Don't engage.

Don't spoil the game for yourself, but you should look up some play guides that show you the zone order you should follow. ESO used to have fixed level ranges for zones, which prevented doing things out of order, but now everything scales and new players find themselves getting lost with regards to following the story properly and become frustrated/overwhelmed.

Level up your alchemy and provisioning as you level your character. These are easy to level up and will make leveling easier, and more convenient.

If you are looking for a class that has great aoe and is relatively easy to play, go with a Magicka Sorcerer and use a lightning staff.

If you want more of a melee aoe character, you can go with a Warden (probably stamina). A Templar is also an option, but I've found templars much harder to master in relation to other classes.

FInally, don't forget that when you are logged off, you'll start to generate enlightenment. Enlightenment is an experience bonus that will speed up your leveling. You can always just log off and let that build up. After a break, log back on, burn through your enlightenment and log back off.

Warden or Sorc Magicka solo pve build
I am not a fan of Alcast builds, the armor sets are boring and its all about min/max.
Try Hack The Minotaur builds or Skinny Cheeks on Youtube, I find them much more user friendly in terms of skills to get and gear.
Noobs do not want PvP skills or Crafted/Trial sets, they want a simple 1 bar solo build that will work easily.

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.

Do not fake que in dungeons. People will hate you, and rightfully so. If you are low level DO NOT DO THIS. High level can get away with it and not be a drag on the team. Low level cannot

Don't do this. Don't fake-queue.

Anyways, especially for a new character, it's a pretty solid idea to just enjoy the story and the world & exploration before immediately worrying about your combat capabilities. AoEs end up becoming one of the best types of damage, especially combined with other people's AoE abilities, so don't think your current level and gear is going to reflect what it's like in the end-game.
