ESO Gold Farming Build

Welcome to my Gold Farming Build for ESO! Runner is an easy Build in The Elder Scrolls Online with a simple goal. To help you move as fast as possible between resource nodes without using your mount, so you can make a small fortune in Gold! This Build will help you traverse zones with valuable crafting materials as fast as possible. Which will help you gather those materials fast and sell them to other players for profit.

You can always keep the material for your own crafting and sell the final product. The base of the Build is an Orc Stamina Warden Build, thanks to the helpful passives you can get from the Orc Race but also the Warden ESO Class!

Best Armor Sets for Gold Farming Build

The sets below will help you boost your stats, reach the Speed Cap and participate in other activities in PVE or PVP content.

The goal of this combination is to reach the speed cap in order to move fast but also boost resources that will allow you to perform other actions with the same build. You can replace the above Monster Sets with other that boost Attributes or grant you a specific effect. Since they do not affect speed, you can choose a defensive or offensive Monster Set depending on your goals. The same applies to Impregnable Armor. All body Armor pieces are Medium to benefit from the Athletics Medium Armor Passive.

Other Sets that can boost speed include:

Speed Calculation

Speed in ESO has a limit. The speed cap at the moment is at 200%. That means that if you go above that you gain nothing. Having that in mind let’s calculate the Speed of the Build as it is:

  • Base Speed: 100%
  • The Steed: +16% (with all armor in Divines)
  • Jailbreaker Set: +15%
  • Hasty: 2%-4%(Required for path, unlock only the first Stage)

Jogging speed: 133%-135%. By activating Bird of Prey you can boost that to 163%-165%. Now if you add sprint and other effects you get:

  • Sprint: +40%
  • Athletics: +21% (with 7 Medium Armor pieces)
  • Orc Passive: +10%

Sprint Speed: 204%-206%. Sprint Speed like this(without using Bird of Prey) is at 204%-206%, which is 4%-6% above the speed cap in ESO.

Other Speed sources

Other speed boosting sets or effects you can try if you wish are:

  • Coward’s Gear: 30%
  • Fiord’s Legacy: 15%
  • Ring of the Wild Hunt: 15% in combat, 45% out of combat
  • Hasty Craft CP Passive: 2%-4%
  • Celerity Craft CP Slottable: 2%-10%
  • Steed’s Blessing Craft CP Slottable: Up to 20% Movement Speed when out of combat
  • Swift Jewelry Trait: 7%(Gold)
  • Concealed Weapon: 15%(Nightblade only)

Champion Points for Gold Farming Build

Below you will find the best Champion Points setup for the Build. When allocating Champion points to Slottable and Passive Stars your primary goal is to create paths!

Every Companion can fulfill every role in the game and help you enjoy ESO more by clearing content faster or by simply interacting with them and their charming personality!
