Best Race

The Best Race for the Tel Var Farm Build is Khajiit! The Khajiit race offers a few useful racial passives for the goals of the Build.

The Feline Ambush Passive is the most important reason to pick a Khajiit for the Build. This is mostly because it makes it harder for other players to detect you when you are stealthed!
