Summerset and Arteum are beautiful, the story line is good. It also unlocks psijic portals and the jewelry crafting skills so you can do jewelry writs.
Wrothgar is easily my favorite zone in ESO because I always plays orcs and I've been wanting to visit Orsinium since I first started playing Skyrim over a decade ago. It also has my favorite house in the game: Pariah's Pinnacle.
*Summerset is my favorite questing zone. *Kenthari's Roost is my favorite starter zone, but also my favorite mat hunting zone... and along with Summerset has Razum Dar.. * Murkmire is my favorite looking zone. I love watching the 'fireflies'.
Love high isles for my daily crafting writs. All the crafting stations in 1 building and the drop offs is really close just out side and down the hill.
None of the starter islands are worth going to if you are trying to get crafting materials, all of them are infested with bots swiping them the instant they spawn
Wrothgar is 1 of the best because it was the old team who put lots of little touches to it like a troll under the bridge and such....by todays standards it would be considered a 'chapter' but it was back before they realized people would pay full game price for dlc 😅
The design philosophy and quality differences are stark. You can see the same thing with classes that had original vision vs no original team involvement. There's a soul to those maps/classes that you don't find with the newest stuff. I think the dungeon team are the exception in the past few years.
Riften is honestly useful because it's easy to travel across, so low mount speed people can use it. The vamp/ww shrines IMHO are much easier to get bites at, and there's easy cultists to feed on. If you are ebomheart you can rush the simmur quest for free skill points, and access to the coldharbour starter.
My adhd did not hold up here. I watched this twice maybe 3 times and I have no idea what’s where and why lol if possible can we get a cut of just the S zones?
Hi Jake, great video as per usual. How about doing a video on ranking 4 player dungeons sometime. I would have put Deadlands in the S-Tier. Reason being is I'm a Deadlands fanboy.
Thanks for all the helpful content. I was looking for ways to get lots of provisioning stuff and ended up finding your 2nd ever video. All this time later and it's still helpful.
Question as someone kind of new and learning. Why was the rift so bad? So far, I'm partial to ebonheart pact and know that's one I'll be going through soon. Thank you in advance for the information.
Jake, Thank you. A wee bit ago I was moaning about my CP300+ character getting shredded by zombies. Essentially you said to gear up. I grabbed Hexo's and Plague Doc in purple with divines, Well after several days I have come to the conclusion is it not the character or the gear. I still can't take on public dungeons alone - by alone I mean with my tank, and world bosses are still out. Needless to say undaunted quests are out. I can continue quests for a while but it is really disheartening to know all I'm capable of is questing. I did want to thank you Jake for responding and trying to help.
Do you also have a mundus stone and buff food active? They can make a big difference depending on the ones you use! Also some world bosses can’t be soloed by anyone so make sure you aren’t scaling yourself off dlc world bosses because I can’t solo all of those If you have discord can you send me a picture of your character stats?
@@Official_JakeClips Sure...I use witch mother's and have-Lover, i think. I have been having a shot at "Short-tusk" and even with my tank , witch mom's brew, lover and purple with a bunch of divines. I got Hexos for the ward and plague for the health, So far I have run at Shortie 53 times with a tank who is maxed but ends up dying leaving me to die within a few seconds. I can't survive long enough to remove more than 15% of shorties health. I am absolutely convinced it;s me and my old reflexes. I don't have discord , , ,
@@myisden2954 remind me what do you play on console wise and for pve I’d change your mundus to something else like crit drama. How are your attribute points allocated too
@@Official_JakeClips PC/NA. I'll stam nightblade - all in atam using destruction staff. I'll swap to the thief stone and it might help me kill things a bit faster. I think that's my big problem. The fights last too long. maybe
@@myisden2954 Friend, if you play Stam Nightblade, please drop the destruction staff. Buy some Briarheart (5x bodypieces) and Hundings Rage for Weapons/Jewelry. All medium, Devines. 2x Health enchants, 1x Magika enchant, rest Stamina enchants. Run a Two Handed Greatsword Nirnhoned (more damage) or Sharpened (more pen) + Poison enchant/ Precise (more crit) and either Bow (Infused + Weapon Damage enchant) or Dualwield (Infused/charged + Weapon Damage + Flame or Shock enchants) on the backbar. Frontbar: Surprise Attack, Killers Blade, Carve, Relentless Focus (flex spot, Lotus Fan is also decent), Rally. Ultimate: Incapacitating Strike Backbar: Endless Hail (or Arrow Barrage), Dark Shade or Twisting Path, Shadowy Disguise (this is your "oh shit" button and Major Savagery), your strongest heal, Ulti: don't matter on the backbar, if done right everything overland dies super fast except DLC bosses. This gives you a good start and if you go from there you will learn "how to Nightblade". PS: you are not a tank, you are a killer, a really fast one ;-) Have fun :-)
Good video just got suggested to me. i am a returning player currently doing the new zone and having a blast Apocrypha is so detailed that it sometimes lags on PS5 which doesnt happen in any other zone i visited 😂 im glad it ranked high on the list. not sure on what to do next i dont feel like doing the starter main game zones since ive done them all in the past. i will probably follow this tier list and save the starter zones if my friends want to start playing to play with them. does the zone stories become a mess without the context of the main zones? what's your take on it? thanks
Hey man, do you know if there's any tricks to getting purple set drops from overworld content? I've been trying to get the mother's sorrow set but I keep only getting green drops from world bosses and delves. I was lucky enough to get a purple from an anchor.
Rivenspire has a a decent overland spot, a good Public Dungeon and a very good Delve for powerleveling alts, it drops one set that actualy sells pretty good, one of the best basegame fishing spots and one of the better material farms. Doesn't make it S-Tier, but a pretty decent zone overall. Rift, well, I like it. Good story, end of the Pact storyline, good material farms, a decent overland grindspot, fishing/pelts/herbs all around the lake, nice scenery, and Riften is a good spot for bank/deconstruct/cooking/alchemy/enchanting. I would rank the Rift higher, but, personal taste (I'm a pact player at heart. Blood for the pact!) I think my favourite zone of them all is still the Gold Coast. The Dark Brotherhood storyline is amazing and the Blade of Woe is too much fun, especialy with my Nightblade it's a must have. And I simply love the scenery, the mediterranian flair. I think they did a really good job with this zone. It's a bit small though.
As for base game zones i think i would put Grahtwood higher because i just the woodland design with the Eldon Root tree in the centre. Spend alot of time there with undaunted and resetting skill points so i can see it taken for granted quite a bit.
Hi Jake! Do you have a Patreon page? I cannot think of another content creator that provides me as much useful information as you Brother. Take care and stay safe!
I like Gold Coast as good story really enjoyed been able to join the DBH, moreover, it’s also good as it sets you up to do a good money making method as you can go to the capital of Ebonheart pact believe and you can pickpocket people on a dock and then blsde of woe to reset moreover the fence place is relatively close by. Moreover, I also like Alkir as it also has another farming spot which is different to fhe dolmens. You require two people and one person pulls all the enemies and the perosn farming levels kills most likyd sith dots
I don't get the appeal of farming potion mats in the Hollow City. They're so spread out and so over-farmed that literally any other zone provides drastically better results, in my experience. I'd also argue that telvar is...amazingly profitable, in a very quick fashion, for a similar reason. The potion mat satchels are stupidly easy money. There's also gear you can buy for Telvar that sells stupidly well on PCNA. Not to say the same isn't also true for AD sets, but imperial city is, honestly, a much faster, much more profitable farm, at least on PCNA. With the side benefit of being able to do it solo, without having to engage with any of the PVP mechanics beyond running like your pants are on fire if you get around other players. On the subject of Betnikh... It has some of the densest nodes of any base game zones, which makes it one of the best, if not THE best base game zone for farming materials. I consistently get better profit, per hour, based on actual mat value farming Betnikh than I do Craiglorn. 80-100k+ per hour difference, (craiglorn floats around an average of 460kph profit, Betnikh is about 540kph profit) and that's without figuring the Aetherial dust drop i've gotten there. You're sleeping, hard, on one of the best farming zones in the game. There are some DLC zones that provide better profit per hour, (Aminos island, Telvani penisula both do markedly better) but they don't have a chance of special mat drops, like Aetherial dust or Nirncrux. If you want other things, specialty style materials, high value alternate drops? No, but if you need mats, in a hurry? It's a beast.
true, Bethnik is also botfree (xbox EU that is), I never seen a bot farming there. If Bal Foyen is crowded and I'm in the mood to farm mats, I always go Bethnik. I too had Aetherial Dust drop there ;-)
Cyrodiil is avoid for me. It’s too big, too empty, too samey. The pve is all generic fetch quest stuff, and some towns send you ridiculously far away for what they want. True fast travel is disabled (for no good lore reason) and the fast travel you do have depends on the pvp standing of your faction. I would actually put Imperial City above Cyrodiil for pvp, because the tight environment and constant npc threat makes it a much more intense, dynamic experience imo. For me, AP grinding and the Golden vendor are the only reason to visit Cyrodiil outside MYM.
The gallant chain drops at the end of the stros mkai quest chain, it’s a bis item for PvP. Bleakrock for the person who knows it is an easy way to lvl 10 imo.
Little late but just got back into eso a bit this week 😂. For me I'd put Northern Elswyr in S tier because I love the whole land layout. And for that reason it never bothered me having to travel to the dragons. I also love the world bosses there too. Khajiit is also my favorite race so that probably adds to it also 😂
I'm trying so damn hard not to get back to eso. I left eso a couple weeks before necrom dropped, but idk why I keep catching myself watching eso content on youtube... help! Thanks for the vid
@@Official_JakeClips I don't know man. I got over 2000 hrs in and it was really fun, but now I genuinely don't know what I'm supposed to be doing if I did got back
Sorry for disagreeing about Bleakrock I think it's a good zone not for story but for how fast you can scroll thru the quests, I can have bleakrock done in about 2-2 1/2 hours as a starting toon but for beginner my daughter had it done in 6 hours so I guess your assesment is good for the average player but for someone like me it's good for fast skill points
My favorite zones were the Cadwells Silver and Gold zones... no matter what they were, content wasn't scaled back then and I miss overland content being varying difficulty 😢
ngl when it comes to zone stories, Daggerfall Convenants are way superior, second the Aldmeri Zones & Last the Pact zones, *Note* this is coming from a EP player who played all zone stories several times
did u know stygian give u a slightly bigger weapon&spell dmg buff then vampire stage 2 passive? i always recommend people getting vampire over having stygian, its like a 59 weapon&spell dmg diffrence and there are way better sets for any build that uses invis.
I choose what zones I play based on what races/cultures I find interesting in the Elder Scrolls universe. I love all the Khajiit zones (Northern + Southern Elsweyr, Reaper's March, Khenarthi's Roost) because I'm a diehard Khajiit fan. I also like Auridon and Summerset a lot. Bosmer, Argonian and Dunmer areas are really cool as well. Humans areas on the other hand don't interest me the slightest bit, I have never even been to most of the human areas in ESO because I just don't care about them.
I think galen should be low S tier since you get some really good structure furnishing plans that don't requrie special style mats AND the Firesong and house mornard motifs look awesome and sell for a decent price Even though i dont sell the motifs (mainly cuz i cant be bothered to sell anything under 50k) from what i experienced they sell decently fast and theyre not very hard to get
Hey Jake, im pretty new to this game and ive watched a few videos on the best methods for farming gold but i dont have alot of time to do that, i also hear that buying gold is against the rules now. I dont understand why that is, but do you know if there are any workarounds? Surely if i am spending my money on crowns it should not matter what i spend those crowns on right? Thx for the vids man 🤙
Heya - I can help clarify when it comes to trading crowns for gold that is totally fine with the devs. What isn’t allowed is buy gold from third party sites And thanks for watching!
I farmed the living piss out of the Vile Manse for the stupid mora whispers lead. Took me around 8hrs playtime, over 150 chests, endless speed running and mob killings. Must have made around 300k gold or so and tossed some exp coupons to take advantage of the lvling. Became so intimately familiar with the place I could just run it eyes closed… I absolutely hate that dungeon now…
I know I'm late, but Bleakrock rock deserves a bit more, get done with the tutorial, pop an xp scroll, and go in a counter clockwise circle, and you will hit lvl 10, and be done with your first random dungeon, before Bal Foyen.
true, as an old Pact player (Blood for the pact!) I can confirm if you go counter clockwise, Bleakrock is probably the fastest starting zones to finish.
My top tier zones (the zones i like more, the zones where i most farm, the zones where i just hang out and chill): 1. Vvanderfell, 2. Murkmire, 3. Blackwood, 4. Coldharbour, 5. Fargrave-Deadlands, 6. Clockwork City, 7. The whole Greymoor and Arkthzand cavern area. My bottom tier zone (my gosh, they are crappy, they are ugly, farming is awful, design went old fashioned, i barely own the house(s): 1. The Rift, 2. Wrothgar, 3. Wester Skyrim and The Reach overland, 4. Stormhaven, 5. Rivenspire, 6. Glenumbra, 7. Gold Coast [This is a shame cuz I LOVE OBLIVION GOLD COAST)
So far Wrothgar is my least favorite zone. Then again, I farmed the one ring. If I never go back it'll be too soon. Unnecessarily difficult bosses/dungeons. Necrom is no better.
Wrotham was set up to be a harder zone, like craglorn, the bosses were originally meant to be conquered by groups of 16! I hated doing bosses there, but I like the zone, the way the courtyard changes between rocky, snowy, green, I really feel like I'm travelling
Wrothgar and craglorn were the last zones that eso was trying to have people form groups to do stuff for longest time. ZOS says they didn't do well which was why they stopped but that also caused ppl to be angry since it was originally actually more difficult content which lead to the one tamriel where everything is easy in overland. People also really liked the storyline and also it straight up tells you what to expect in next dlc which leads to the whole clockwork, morrowind, and summerset. Which I believe they are trying to recreate having multiple stuff be connected in the coming updates.
eso is showing its age even wow a game that came out in 2004 has received several graphical updates and their next expansion is going to get another one what do the eso devs do let their game die while they make another mmo. i dont see much of a future with eso its getting to old.
ESO doesn't pull the same subscription numbers as WoW and has a much smaller dev team than Blizzard. Also WoW is 10 years older than ESO and absolutely needed the graphics overhauls so it didn't looks so 2004. ESO is still holding up pretty well for being 9 years old.
This video almost broke me to edit - it accidentally corrupted twice 😅
Lol "member berries"!
yea the first zone you put in good tier was entirely skipped xD
Don’t forget The Rift is the best place to get verbally attacked to build your real life sustain!
Give this wise man a six pack (not budweiser)! 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
The Riften Kings here
I thought the rift was only like that on Xbox 😂😂😂
I can just ride around Summer set on my mount doing nothing and enjoy myself, just a lovely region.
Summerset and Arteum are beautiful, the story line is good. It also unlocks psijic portals and the jewelry crafting skills so you can do jewelry writs.
👍 I would also include zone aesthetics/environment/explorabity as criteria too. There's more to ESO than farming sets and making gold.
Yep, I actually play the game for the lore and the places that I wanted to visit in other Elder Scrolls games.
Same@@pillow7672
Wrothgar is easily my favorite zone in ESO because I always plays orcs and I've been wanting to visit Orsinium since I first started playing Skyrim over a decade ago. It also has my favorite house in the game: Pariah's Pinnacle.
If you love solo pve builds like me. I'd say it has the best world bosses to test your build. If you can beat all of them you've got a good build 👌
Best story by far. None of that world-ending boss crap.
Been an elsweyr addict since it arrived. Nice storylines, plenty of dragons, good crafting setup, and the entertaining necromancer class.
It should be illegal to mention Craglorn without talking about Nirncrux. My fav zone by far. The dope hit every time you find one is golden.
Amazing content. Really love the reminders on some of these :) Got some ones I have to go back to! Thanks Jake!
Glad you like them!
You snuck past Riften but left out that if you're Ebonheart Pact, it's the ideal place to get bitten by a werewolf or turned into a vampire.
Bleakrock isle should be higher in my opinion because of the cold flame antiquity lead. Awesome blue light!
I pulled an Ancient Nord Motif from a chest on Bleakrock once. Caught me by surprise.
This is a great video! And perfect timing! I'm a new player and was wondering where to go after my cosy starting area of Auridon. Thanks Jake
*Summerset is my favorite questing zone.
*Kenthari's Roost is my favorite starter zone, but also my favorite mat hunting zone... and along with Summerset has Razum Dar..
* Murkmire is my favorite looking zone. I love watching the 'fireflies'.
I’ve been needing this for the big update so that way I can start my grind and keep it enjoyable
idk why but I like this type of content, keep up the good work
Glad you enjoy it!
I was wondering why so many high CP players were running through Forgotten Wastes in Vvardenfell while I was trying to level a character there

I’m glad! 💜
None of the starter islands are worth going to if you are trying to get crafting materials, all of them are infested with bots swiping them the instant they spawn
Khenarthis roost is used to max out legerdemain
I go there to report bots and steal mats from them

For me I'd put Northern Elswyr in S tier because I love the whole land layout. And for that reason it never bothered me having to travel to the dragons. I also love the world bosses there too. Khajiit is also my favorite race so that probably adds to it also 😂
I'm trying so damn hard not to get back to eso. I left eso a couple weeks before necrom dropped, but idk why I keep catching myself watching eso content on youtube... help!
Thanks for the vid
Come back!
@@Official_JakeClips I don't know man. I got over 2000 hrs in and it was really fun, but now I genuinely don't know what I'm supposed to be doing if I did got back
What is that expensive item fron Vvanderfell?

@@Official_JakeClips tyvm
Please add chapters for each zone
😭😭😭😭😭
Sorry for disagreeing about Bleakrock I think it's a good zone not for story but for how fast you can scroll thru the quests, I can have bleakrock done in about 2-2 1/2 hours as a starting toon but for beginner my daughter had it done in 6 hours so I guess your assesment is good for the average player but for someone like me it's good for fast skill points
My favorite zones were the Cadwells Silver and Gold zones... no matter what they were, content wasn't scaled back then and I miss overland content being varying difficulty 😢
Love this list
What is the 700m item you can get in vardenfell

Urn farm for weeks.

ngl when it comes to zone stories, Daggerfall Convenants are way superior, second the Aldmeri Zones & Last the Pact zones,
*Note* this is coming from a EP player who played all zone stories several times
In terms of quest quality, yes. But replayability it's a struggle, Daggerfall really drags everything out.
yea it do be like that 🤣🤣 @@quinnmichaelson6793
did u know stygian give u a slightly bigger weapon&spell dmg buff then vampire stage 2 passive? i always recommend people getting vampire over having stygian, its like a 59 weapon&spell dmg diffrence and there are way better sets for any build that uses invis.
The uptime is desirable to newer players and it does combine with the vampire buff too - it’s not a crazy good set by any means but it does sell
Vvardenfell is my favorite, i spend most my time there.
Was looking for this comment especially if you play Morrowind
Betnik is a best in slot harvesting zone though, at least IMO
Just sucks with all the bots
@@Official_JakeClipsMaybe so on console, PC-NA they seem to be a few but not many. One of my favorite metal, jewelry, and mudcrab routes.
I choose what zones I play based on what races/cultures I find interesting in the Elder Scrolls universe. I love all the Khajiit zones (Northern + Southern Elsweyr, Reaper's March, Khenarthi's Roost) because I'm a diehard Khajiit fan. I also like Auridon and Summerset a lot. Bosmer, Argonian and Dunmer areas are really cool as well.
Humans areas on the other hand don't interest me the slightest bit, I have never even been to most of the human areas in ESO because I just don't care about them.
I think galen should be low S tier since you get some really good structure furnishing plans that don't requrie special style mats AND the Firesong and house mornard motifs look awesome and sell for a decent price
Even though i dont sell the motifs (mainly cuz i cant be bothered to sell anything under 50k) from what i experienced they sell decently fast and theyre not very hard to get
Excellent.
riften hurt just cus of nostalgia but then i remember vc on xbox
Whats in Vvadenfel worth that much can
There’s a stupid mushroom worth millions
Hey Jake, im pretty new to this game and ive watched a few videos on the best methods for farming gold but i dont have alot of time to do that, i also hear that buying gold is against the rules now. I dont understand why that is, but do you know if there are any workarounds? Surely if i am spending my money on crowns it should not matter what i spend those crowns on right? Thx for the vids man 🤙
Heya - I can help clarify when it comes to trading crowns for gold that is totally fine with the devs. What isn’t allowed is buy gold from third party sites
And thanks for watching!
TOT is a good add to the game dspite what a few say.
Summerset my most fave zone.
Convert Tel Var to Hakeijo... you can get 10,000g or more per 5,000 tel var.
I farmed the living piss out of the Vile Manse for the stupid mora whispers lead. Took me around 8hrs playtime, over 150 chests, endless speed running and mob killings. Must have made around 300k gold or so and tossed some exp coupons to take advantage of the lvling. Became so intimately familiar with the place I could just run it eyes closed… I absolutely hate that dungeon now…
I know I'm late, but Bleakrock rock deserves a bit more, get done with the tutorial, pop an xp scroll, and go in a counter clockwise circle, and you will hit lvl 10, and be done with your first random dungeon, before Bal Foyen.
true, as an old Pact player (Blood for the pact!) I can confirm if you go counter clockwise, Bleakrock is probably the fastest starting zones to finish.
What item in vvardenfell is worth 700 mil 😅😅😅

@@Official_JakeClips where does it drop from ?
My top tier zones (the zones i like more, the zones where i most farm, the zones where i just hang out and chill): 1. Vvanderfell, 2. Murkmire, 3. Blackwood, 4. Coldharbour, 5. Fargrave-Deadlands, 6. Clockwork City, 7. The whole Greymoor and Arkthzand cavern area.
My bottom tier zone (my gosh, they are crappy, they are ugly, farming is awful, design went old fashioned, i barely own the house(s): 1. The Rift, 2. Wrothgar, 3. Wester Skyrim and The Reach overland, 4. Stormhaven, 5. Rivenspire, 6. Glenumbra, 7. Gold Coast [This is a shame cuz I LOVE OBLIVION GOLD COAST)
Me who loves Tales of Tribute *sab gerbil tiktok meme*
So far Wrothgar is my least favorite zone. Then again, I farmed the one ring. If I never go back it'll be too soon. Unnecessarily difficult bosses/dungeons. Necrom is no better.
Wrotham was set up to be a harder zone, like craglorn, the bosses were originally meant to be conquered by groups of 16! I hated doing bosses there, but I like the zone, the way the courtyard changes between rocky, snowy, green, I really feel like I'm travelling
Wrothgar and craglorn were the last zones that eso was trying to have people form groups to do stuff for longest time. ZOS says they didn't do well which was why they stopped but that also caused ppl to be angry since it was originally actually more difficult content which lead to the one tamriel where everything is easy in overland. People also really liked the storyline and also it straight up tells you what to expect in next dlc which leads to the whole clockwork, morrowind, and summerset. Which I believe they are trying to recreate having multiple stuff be connected in the coming updates.
Wrothgar was the first time a world boss killed me in a while
Lol there are a few that like ToT but I'm not one. Won't punish you for that.
I LOVE hews bane.
Bruh the thumbnail tilted me 💀 calling Coldharbor S tier and the Rift bad is wild 😭😭
I’m sorry 😢 it was meant to add some spice haha
@@Official_JakeClips I’m just playin my man! Awesome video, thanks for all the effort you put into your content! Great stuff!
@@Cooperharley0204 phew haha and thank you!!
The rift is S-Tier just due to the absolute degeneracy of chat.
Maybe 👀
They should have added wrothgar instead of evermore to the dc zones, just a personal opinion
I wish there were nameplates instead of map parts, my adhd cant handle this......
Only in ESO are we worried about spoiling the story of a 6 year old DLC. The tier rating does seem far too generous on several of these.
No matter how good Cyrodil is, I'm not going there until there is an option to turn off PvP
if u put all zones in s tier, u would save lot of time ;-p
Jake likes high isles for ToT??!!🤬🤬
🫢🫢🫢
Bro doesn't like Khajiit.
Cyrodiil belongs average
Cyro DEFINITELY not S-tier unless you a Pvp junkie, you can't even do PvE without getting ganked by Pvp azz hats
Shout out to hews bane, got me from 1 to 7 antiquities in a day and also got oakensoul ring same day.
eso is showing its age even wow a game that came out in 2004 has received several graphical updates and their next expansion is going to get another one what do the eso devs do let their game die while they make another mmo.
i dont see much of a future with eso its getting to old.
ESO doesn't pull the same subscription numbers as WoW and has a much smaller dev team than Blizzard.
Also WoW is 10 years older than ESO and absolutely needed the graphics overhauls so it didn't looks so 2004. ESO is still holding up pretty well for being 9 years old.
