Welcome to the ESO Farming Build “Speedy G“. This build has unlimited stealth cloak mode, unlimited resources and all that at maximum speed. The ESO Farming Build is designed to farm resource nodes or treasure chests. The build isn’t optimized for combat but rather for farming materials as fast as possible. You will manage to make about 100k Gold per hour (PC EU prices) with this setup if you can efficiently farm.

With this ESO Farming Build you don’t directly farm gold, you farm materials which you can refine later and harness materials out of it, which you then can sell. You can sell all kinds of materials and make good profit off it. Of course that requires you to know the market prices, on PC you can get the ESO Hub Trading addon, which shows you the average price of an item, makes it easier to decide for how much to list something up.

• Gold Farming Guide for ESO

You don’t need a perfect gear setup for this build. Of course if you have the optimal build like listed here, then you will be able to farm things faster which will make you more gold in the end.

• Fastest Farming Build
• Maximum Speed Build
• Permanent Stealth/sneak
• Easily avoid Fights
• Full Medium Armor

The video below shows an example of how fast you can be while crouched in stealth.

How Fast Is My Character In ESO?

Let’s analyze all the options you have that could increase your speed for the ESO Farming Build. The speed limit is 200%, walking already accounts for 100% speed. Now what can we do to boost our speed. We also should differentiate our speed while walking and while sprinting.

It becomes quite clear that while sprinting we will get to 200% without any problems. However, we want to get close to 200% with our walk speed in stealth/sneak, and that is what the ESO Farming Build is all about. Therefore, we can sneak all the time, be invisible all the time, have unlimited resources due to a neat trick, and pretty much have 200% speed without sprinting. To showcase this, you can watch the ESO Speedy G Video.

Important: There are two ways to remove the movement speed penalty in sneak. As a Vampire you have the Dark Stalker passive that allows you to remove the penalty. Or you can use the Night’s Silence set to remove the penalty. It is crucial that we remove the movement speed penalty in sneak to be as fast as possible.

Walk Speed

•  Night’s Silence set = Ignore the Movement Speed penalty of Sneak.
• Vampire Dark Stalker passive = Ignore the Movement Speed penalty of Sneak. (Same as the set above)
• Charging Maneuver skill = 30% speed (Major Expedition) and 15% speed (Minor Expedition) for 8 seconds.
• Ring of the Wild Hunt set = Movement speed buff of 15% in combat and 45% out of combat.
• Steed Mundus Stone = 16% (with 7 Divine trait)
• Steed’s Blessing Perk Champion Points = 20% Movement Speed out of combat.
• Celerity Perk Champion Points = 10% Movement Speed.
• Swift Trait = 7% speed gold quality (6% purple, 5% blue).
• Concealed Weapon skill = 15% speed (Minor Expedition) while slotted.

Sprint Speed

• Sprint = 40% extra speed
• Sprint Medium Armor passive Athletics = 1 piece = 3%, 7 pieces = 21%.
• Coward’s Gear set = While sprinting you gain 30% speed (Major Expedition).
• Fiord’s Legacy set = While sprinting you gain 15% speed (Unique buff).
• Swift Warrior Orc passive = While sprinting you gain 10% speed (unique buff).
• Unnatural Movement Vampire passive – Reduces sprint cost by 50% and if you sprint for 3 seconds you become invisible until you stop sprinting.

— The Speed Setup —

Important: Be a Vampire for the Dark Stalker passive to remove the speed penalty in sneak or use the Night’s Silence set!

Now, let’s calculate what our speed is with the setup and what options you have to diversify the build.

• 100% from our base speed.
• 15% from the Concealed Weapon skill (Minor Expedition buff) while the skill is slotted.
• 16% from the Steed Mundus Stone.
• 21% Swift Trait on gold jewelry(18% purple quality, 15% blue quality)
• 20% Steed’s Blessing CP Perk
• 10% Celerity CP Perk

This brings us already to 182% speed while we are sneaking.

Now you have three more options:

• Use Retreating Maneuver to get another 30% speed but the Major Expedition buff only lasts for 8 seconds and you get kicked out of stealth for half a second when activating it.
• Use Channeled Acceleration to gain 30% speed Major Expedition buff for 12 seconds and it won’t kick you out of stealth.
• Use Ring of the Wild Hunt which gives you a 45% speed boost outside of combat.

So, without even sprinting we can pretty much reach 200% while in permanent sneak and have unlimited resources thanks to the Darloc Brae set and a smaller detection radius.

ESO Farming Build Setup

Let’s take a look at the overall ESO Farming Build setup. To optimize the Farming Build you want to get the same gear setup like shown below. There are two setups, one without a Mythic item and one with a Mythic item. Both setups can reach the maximum speed limit, but with the Mythic item setup it is easier to reach the limit.

Gear without Mythic Item

It is not important how you allocate gear, just make sure to have Night Mother’s Embrace and Darloc Brae so you get the five piece bonus effects.

• Darloc Brae is a must have it helps with sustain!
• Night Mother’s Embrace reduces the sneaking detection radius. If you constantly spam Shadowy Disguise anyway you can select another set.

Gear with Mythic Item

If you are using the Mythic Item setup, you don’t really need the Major Expedition buff skills such as Rapid Maneuver or Channeled Acceleration like you see below in the slot 3 on the front bar, because you are already at the cap with this.

Where can I get the gear?

Vesture of Darloc Brae: Elsweyr Overland, Guildstores
Night’s Silence: Craftable
Night Mother’s Embrace: Overland Deshaan
Ring of the Wild Hunt: Antiquities Mythic Item

other options:
Fiord’s Legacy: Eastmarch
Coward’s Gear: Battlegrounds, Guildstores

Skills for the ESO Farming Build

When you are near enemies, you can activate Shadowy Disguise, this makes it impossible for enemies to detect you. However, this skill puts your magicka recovery to 0. And it drains almost 3000 Magicka every 2 seconds. The set Darloc Brae will still regenerate Magicka! Additionally, you can activate Siphoning Attacks every few seconds to trade health for Magicka.

• Note: If you don’t have access to Channeled Acceleration, you can use Charging Maneuver as an alternative.
• Low on Magicka? If you drop low on Magicka activate Siphoning Attacks a few times, this restores Magicka every time you activate it.

Optional: You can also use the Psijic skill Channeled Acceleration to gain 12 seconds speedbuff, that way you will not be kicked out of stealth (Which happens when you use the Retreating Maneuver buff).

Champion Points for the ESO Farming Build

This build works well without any Champion Points. The Champion Point allocation below is just the extra cherry on top.

Here is a list of all slotable perks that we use for the build. For simply optimizing farming all you need is Steed’s Blessing + Master Gatherer + Celerity.

• Note: There is a passive perk called Plentiful Harvest that you must get too to increase the chance to get double yield!

Craft	Warfare	Fitness
Steed’s Blessing	Wrathful Strikes	Boundless Vitality
Master Gatherer	Master-at-Arms	Celerity
Free choice	Deadly Aim	Fortified

Important Info for the ESO Farming Build

In this section of the ESO Farming Build we are going to take a look at things like buff-food, mundus stone, race, potions, passives and attributes.

Mundus Stone

Race

Any race will work for this build. However, with a Khajiit you will be able to sneak closer to enemies without getting detected. As an Orc you can run faster than other races if you want that. If you want to see all the racial passive bonuses check it out here in the racial passives guide.

Kahjiit (Recommended)
Orc
Wood Elf
Redguard
Imperial
Nord
Any Race

Potions

Use whatever potions you have available, we do have enough sustain without potions in most scenarios.

Passives for the ESO Farming Build

The ESO Farming Build utilizes the follow passives. However, you can always add more passives to the list in case you got some other skill lines that you want to also use.

• Assassination: Master Assassin, Executioner, Pressure Points, Hemorrhage
• Shadow: Refreshing Shadows, Shadow Barrier, Dark Vigor, Dark Veil
• Siphoning: Catalyst

You could get more passives such as Fighters Guild etc if you want, but for farming alone it isn’t really necessary.

Crafting Passives

If you do want to farm maximum level materials with the  ESO Farming Build, you need to make sure to have your crafting maxed out. To get max level materials you need to max out:

• Metalworking – Blacksmithing
• Woodworking – Woodworking
• Tailoring – Clothing
• Recipe Improvement – Provisioning
• Solvent Proficiency – Alchemy
• Potency Improvement – Enchanting
• Engraver – Jewelry crafting

If you want to know how to level up all your crafting skill lines I do recommend checking out the Crafting Guides on my website, which explain everything in detail.

Attributes

All into Stamina

Resource Management for the ESO Farming Build

While sneaking the Prisoner’s Rags set will always return magicka, giving us 100% resources all the time. You can also further use potions to boost your sustain, but the set will be more than enough for all non combat actions.
