A great list - I have used each of these as my prime crafting location at one point or another. My current favorite is Rimmen. A big additional bonus is you can get there directly from anywhere via Sugar Bowl house, which is the closest house to a wayshrine (for newer players - get this house - its cheap and will speed your getting around Tamriel significantly). Also, they changed so that the crates by where you turn in writs are not marked as stealing. This is a wide spread change, so not just Rimmen, but they are a good number of containers at Rimmen and I tend to get recipes drops frequently. I noticed the most recently crafting locations do not have these little freebies (for example, your number 1 location).
As base game zones go, I would add Stormhold in Shadowfen and Velyn Harbor in Malabal Tor. Stormholds crafting area has a pretty nice layout. The only downside is that the cooking fire is inside the inn, which is right next to the crafting area. You do have to go trough a door though. There are Guild Traders in the center of the town, the bank is right next to the crafting area as is an outlaws refuge. The stablemaster is right next to the wayshrine as is the drop off location. So not the best crafting location overall but base game zones tend to be a bit more spread out. Velyn Harbor takes a bit of time to use, because the town is being invaded, so you have to do a short quest in order to free the town and use the the crafting area. Jewelry crafting, alchemy and enchanting are in the mages guild hall across the smithy and the cooking fire is inside the bank building. The stable master is very close to the crafting area though. The town has no guild traders. The wayshrine is outside of town which is not ideal but it's not far. I would choose Stormhold over Velyn Harbor but if you want a crafting location with little to no people around it is still alright. Almost foregot Riften. One writboard is a bit off location so that's a bit annoying but the crafting tables are all rather close together aside from alchemy which is on a lower level by the lake. The drop off location is also on a lower level at the canal which is ab it inconvenient to get up from. The bank is next to the crafting area as is an outlaws refuge. The guild traders are out of town which is not ideal. The stablemaster is out of town. So just for crafting it is okay. If you need more services close by, it is not the best.
Ah Shornhelm... my place of beginnings... Glad to see it on the list! I ran around that town for long time. I would always leave my charaters there or in Evermore. Oh how the times have changed! Now adays i use Leywiin, but i haven't actually taken the time to look into Skingrad. Ill have to toss a couple toons over there tonight and put a clock on them and see what the time is! Good suggestions! Thanks for the video!
I like your list. My favorite is your #2 Leyawiin. With the Lazy Crafter add-on I can complete all daily crafting writs on my 12 characters in just a little over an hour.
Great Video 😊👍 New Subscriber from Denmark here. Personally i love Gonfalon bay. Everything is close together. Crafting, wayshrine, bank and stables. I like the architecture a lot there. I don't dabble too much in master writs, so this town is perfect for me.
Yes, it is also a beautiful city! I mostly crafted in Gonfalon until Skingrad came along too and love having new toons camp here as well. Thank you so much for subscribing!
Alinor is my usual go-to for my daily writs. I’ve gotten the circuit down to about 6-7 minutes per toon, starting from/ending at Alinor Crest Townhouse. Gonna have to check out some of these other ones tho👀
I ran alinor for about 6-7 months, works great, your time is right. But then I moved to Leywiin, I'm now 3-4 minutes per toon. I'm on Xbox, so there no add-ons for me. I'm about an hour and 20 minutes for 19 characters. Being able to mount IN the crafting area helps vs Alinor were you have to get OUT of the crafting station first... its the small details that add up on so many toons. Just a suggestion! Writs are a time sick, so I try and save everyone whatever time it can!
@@skylarwilson9680 definitely gonna give it a go then. It takes me about the same time to do my 10, when factoring in the different variables. Half tempted to just throw Adept Rider on their crafting builds just to cut down on time a bit. Already running Steed Stone/Steeds Blessing for the 30% boost. Another 30% should bring them up to sprint speed cap
Vivec is N°1 without any question on my list. It's not the prettiest, that's for sure, but: Not only Vivec has - like a few cities - everything extremely close together, and even better things that are related (horses oratory guild traders bank crafting daily writs), but the main reason is the BANK IS IN A OPEN SPACE, with no doors, right in the middle of all crafting stations! Unfortunately, I don't think we'll ever see a new city designed that way. For people like myself that is often selling crafted items and checking what is missing on guild traders to fill out the gaps, this is invaluable. I can afford a lot of back and forth; and I can just turn around to be able craft what is needed on a case by case basis, without having to remember a list of things to craft. Elden root had this potential, with pledges as bonuses; If you did not have to climb in the tree to go to the Crafting Hall (if everything was around the oratory), and if you could use a mount!
Ganfalon Bay is my favorite- but Elden Root is the runner up. Everything is on the second floor, cooking right by the stairs downstairs where we’re going anyway. I can grab all my writs, mage guild, fighters guild, do all my writs, do my horse training on the way to drop off my goods, check guild traders, pick up undaunted, then leave. Orrrr stay and do master writs if I have them. Most hated… Wrothgar and Glenumbra. Ordaining is a hot mess, and Glenumbra can buzz off with their turn in all the way down at the docks! And why is the mill across the bridge?! Gah. Special thumbs down to Aline for being huge and full of jerks.
@@MFreya-b2v yes I do like Elden root for master writs and the mages/fighters guild dailies! Yah the high elves are a bunch of jerks, that’s true! Wrothgar is the absolute worst, I always get lost!
Vivic for me.. something you didn't mention is guild traders. Is always good to have guild traders close. Vivec really have everything even the stable is not that far.
@@The_Garage_Project yes Stormhold is a great option! I definitely thought the boards/crafting were farther away but this city does have a really good crafting layout! I do always forget that the woodworking is upstairs though 😂

@@AiteraSeg it’s such a good one!
Great video, I have moved all my 19 characters from Rimmen to Skiingrad now lol!
Thank you! I hope you enjoy crafting there 😊

You missed Stormhold in Shadowfen. A lot easier than a lot you mentioned. If you park your crafters in front of the board even better!!
@@The_Garage_Project yes Stormhold is a great option! I definitely thought the boards/crafting were farther away but this city does have a really good crafting layout! I do always forget that the woodworking is upstairs though 😂
Shadowfen should've been Number 4 or 5. Very easy.
I do like shadowfen but I had some other good contenders that I decided to include. But it’s another good location for sure!!
