ESO Daily Routine

The Best Daily Routine Guide for ESO! This Guide will show you the most important activities you should do every day in The Elder Scrolls Online! There are a few activities that can help you level up faster, make gold and overall spend your time in Tamriel more efficiently. Completing these activities on a daily basis, should be your number one priority! Most of them will only take a few minutes but will help you to progress and build your characters for success in ESO!

ESO Daily Routine Activities

Below you can find all the activities that you can add into your ESO Daily Routine! Some are important for progressing and making your characters stronger while other will offer additional benefits and help you enjoy your time in Tamriel more. Combining them together whenever possible, is the best way to maximize your fun and profits in ESO!

1. Tamriel Tomes Activities

The Tamriel Tomes Battle Pass offers a variety of activities that you can complete every day! By completing activities from any type of gameplay, you accumulate points that you can use to unlock pages and items! The Free Tier of the Tamriel Tomes Battle Pass has replaced the Daily Loging Rewards and the Endeavors System. With Tamriel Tomes you can earn a variety of items like Consumables, Currencies and Collectibles.

2. Mount Upgrades – ESO Daily Routine

Tamriel is vast! So traveling fast is important. This is why you should upgrade your Mount Skills as soon as possible. Talk to the Stable master in every town, to level up the Speed, Stamina and Carry Capacity of your mounts. You can apply three points every day. The timer resets at 3am UTC for European servers and 10am UTC for North American servers. Mount Upgrades are character bound so you should do this with all of your characters. To learn how you can get Mounts in ESO, you can read this ESO Mount Guide!

3. Daily Writs – ESO Daily Routine

Writs are special crafting orders that offer extra EXP and rewards. You can get and complete them manually but you can also use an add-on to automate the process(recommended). Any character above level six(6) can do the writs as long as they are certified for the specific crafting profession.

Talk to Millenith or Danel Telleno to complete the certification process. Do your writs every day to earn gold, EXP, crafting materials, surveys and even Master Writs if your skills are high enough. Master Writs is a great source of wealth! The complexity of the Daily writs and their rewards depends on how high your crafting skills are.

4. Research Traits – ESO Daily Routine

Another daily activity related to Crafting. Researching Traits is very important if you are interested in Crafting. You should always have a Research active, at least with your dedicated Crafter character. Research takes real time to complete. The more Traits of an item you have completed, the longer it takes to complete the next one. A Trait research can take a few hours, up to a whole month depending on this. So the sooner you will start, the sooner you will finish.

By leveling up your crafting skills, you can reduce the time it takes to research a Trait but also research more Traits at the same time. There are scrolls you can get as Daily Login Rewards and from other sources, that can help you research faster.

5. Golden Pursuits

Golden Pursuits reward players for simply playing the game! This system however is not always active. It is available for a limited time window. When it is active you can complete a variety of tasks to unlock various rewards and a special Capstone Reward. This Capstone Reward can be anything, like a Free Mount or more! When Golden Pursuits is active, check your Group & Activity Finder page to see the available tasks.

6. Daily Group Activities

Completing your first Random Normal or Veteran Dungeon and your first Battlegrounds every day, rewards you with extra EXP and other useful items. Queue up through the Group & Activity Finder Tab to earn the extra EXP and the rewards. This is a great way to gain an EXP boost for new characters or alts and level them up faster. Try to always complete those two every day, for the best results.

7. Transmute Crystals Farming – ESO Daily Routine

Transmute Crystals are necessary to transmute items and change their Traits. There are a few activities you can complete every day to earn them, including completing Dungeons and Battlegrounds. You can find a detailed list of the activities that reward Crystals and the amount of Crystals you can earn from them in my Transmute Crystals Guide. You can use the crystals at a Transmute Station(Brass Fortress – Clockwork City or buy one for your House). Using Transmute Crystals is also the only way to get Jewelry with specific traits.

8. Pledges – ESO Daily Routine

When you reach level 45, you can start accepting Pledges. These are special Daily Dungeon quests that ask you to defeat Bosses from specific Base game and DLC Dungeons. You can receive the Pledges from the Pledgegiver NPCs, found in the Undaunted Enclaves. An undaunted Enclave is located at the Capital city of every Alliance.

• Wayrest – Stormhaven Zone
• Mournhold – Deshaan Zone
• Elden Root – Grahtwood Zone

Glirion the Redbeard and Maj Al-Ragath offer Pledges for Base game Dungeons while Urgarlag Chief-Bane will ask you to clear DLC Dungeons. Pledges reward you with Undaunted Keys depending on the Dungeon(Base game or DLC).

• For Base Game Dungeons you get One Key for clearing Normal Dungeons and two for clearing Veteran Dungeons in Hard mode.
• For DLC Dungeons you get Two Keys for clearing Normal Dungeons, three Keys for Veteran Dungeons and four for clearing Veteran Dungeons in Hard mode.

You can use the keys to buy specific Dungeon coffers from the Pledge Master Stores. The coffers contain Shoulder Pieces from Monster Sets that drop in specific Dungeons. You can also buy Style Pages with them when they are available. It is wise to save your Undaunted Keys until you have reached the gear cap, which is c160 at the moment. Completing Pledges can also help you advance the Undaunted Skill Line. You can find more about Pledges in my Undaunted Pledges Guide.

9. Infinite Archive in ESO

The Infinite Archive is another activity you can add to your ESO Daily Routine if you wish. While the Archive is designed as a rogue-like Endless Dungeon, it offers a Daily Quest that requires you to clear only the first Arc! This means that you can complete this quest Daily in order to get the Archive’s unique rewards and farm Class Sets! Repeating the first Arc of the Archive is also one of the Best ways to Level up your Companions in ESO! To progress easier inside the Archive successfully, you should use dedicated Infinite Archive Builds!

10. Daily Quests – ESO Daily Routine

Daily Quests is another great Daily activity, especially when there is a new zone available. They can help you become familiar with the zone but also earn materials, new Armor Sets and other items.
