Noteworthy parts of the video if you'd like to skip ahead to a particular segment! (: 0:00 ByUgLoSs (sorry I absolutely had to do it to 'em) 1:45 Why should I consider farming mats in ESO? 2:16 Some useful CP passives to help you while you farm 2:30 A useful addon for farming 3:06 Some great spots to farm mats
I farm on Bleakrock Island. If you don't finish the quest there, you have a nice little town with crafting stations there. The snow makes the nodes even easier to see also.
@@Arttea Sometimes a man just needs some butt floss 🤷♂️ Also, I saw a few screenshots from a discord server, is there and official TTS discord server? 👀
Shiiit (pun wasn't intended) fair enough! Ohhh not as of this moment, those screenshots were just from one of my social guilds' servers haha! But hmmm maybe sometime in the future there will be a discord for this channel/site :o I will be sure to advertise it on the channel if it ever comes to fruition!
It's also worth mentioning that nodes respawn faster if there are more players in a zone. One can use this to their advantage by harvesting in specific zones during events, where people will be focusing on doing event quests rather than harvesting. For example, Bal Foyen was nuts during the Jester's Festival. You could go around in very small circles without any hostile targets at all.
Player population doesn't effect nodes respawn time, its how many are harvested in a given time. More population usually equates to people randomly harvesting nodes which increase the harvest per a given time. It's why starter zone are very popular.
My fave route (pronounced ROOT in Brit English, oh I so love English!) is Craglorn, base mats, furnishing mats and nirncrux on sweet beautiful RNG. I always feel guilty harvesting mats in starter zones, worrying the players starting there might need them. Of course they probably just want to quest out there and move on. Thank you for the video!
Ah, that is a really good point! I had never considered that, that's going to make me think twice about pulling up to Betnikh and wreaking havoc on the nodes there 😅
Many new players can't even SEE the harvestables unless their mouse accidentally pans over it. I watch them run right by tight groups of resources not even knowing (or caring) that they are there. I promptly clean up. No one starts in the zones mentioned here anyway so don't stress.
Craglorn is one of my favorite farming spots in the game, but haven’t been able to play lately due to a busted PS4 controller. Missing my game and some good pals I’ve made on there.
It's Node Farming 2: Electric Boogaloss Btw: Discovered your channel just tonight, running around circles in Bethnik right now and farming materials like crazy. I equally want your channel to pop off and not pop off at the same time, for logical reason of course. You're doing amazing work!
I'm Australian and we say it bugloss like you - surely it is a is like that because the 'g' is followed by another consonant? It might be 'byugloss' if there was an 'e' after the 'g'. Any linguists here?
I saved this video for today so i could have a good dose of sass to get me through a Monday morning at work, i was not disappointed. Also i've never heard anyone pronounce it any way other than Bug Loss and i refuse to believe otherwise.
Haha I'm happy to hear that my video helped make your Monday less Monday-y :D And right?! I think us bug-loss enjoyers are definitely in the majority here.
True, I used to farm mats by the Relenthil geyser in Summerset - those little grape yards? Pleeenty of mats there. Plus Summerset zone chat on PC NA can get pretty spicy so reading it while farming also kept me entertained haha
I used to do all my writs, Decon etc in solitude until I tried Vivec city, now it’s my go to. My fav mat farming route is in bal foyen but I’m definitely going to try these others as they give different mats that I don’t get much of in bal foyen. Thank you And I pronounce bugloss the same as you
Team bugloss ftw What bothered me about the Solitude crafting station layout is how some of the stations were locked behind doors, and subsequently loadscreens! I thought it was wild that I'd have to sit through a 10 second load screen just to enter a small building to craft a rune or something. Vivec is top tier I hope that you have some good luck farming mats in the other locations :D
Bougie gloss. I craft in Mournhold because literally everything is by the wayshrine. My farming spot is too good to share. Don't sweat the haters. I really enjoy the chill videos you put out. Keep up the great work.
same, didn't know bal foyen existed till i had to go looking for that lead. I like farming in southern wrothgar. The route also has a lot of treasure chests. Do all my writs in elden root. It has been my fav spot since day1. The fact that you can port to the house from anywhere really helps. Next favorite spot would be Rimmen
Hey just wanted to say I'm really liking your videos! I just stumbled upon your channel and you're providing new tips and tricks that I havnt discovered yet on my own while playing for about 2 years and watching other ESO content creators. Keep up the good work!
Hey! :D Sweet! I am super glad to hear it! I've been playing for 3 years now, and I still learn valuable things about trading/making gold in ESO from people in my guilds and even my comment section sometimes haha, so I'm happy to be able to pass it forward and help others out :)
Back in the days the top spot for boogie loose and alchemy plants was Coldharbour, in the town. I swear I never ran out of bag lost with just one weekly run.
You can sync harvest map with other players if you go into live/addons/harvestmap and then run the file that ends with .bat it will then show all nodes on the map not just the ones you have discovered.
I have been playing eso for about 2 years and I really wish I would have seen your channel sooner, Love the content will now proceed to binge your vids lol
2 years late, but I found the best way to farm craft materials is actually to do daily writs on all your characters and then send all your resource maps to a single character. Then, do resource map runs. Since I can't do the entire world in a day, they accumulate and I usually end up doing 6x resource maps per zone. Much more efficient than farming individual nodes or doing maps on separate characters.
Outside of peak hours, Hollow City has always done well for me for Alchemy mats. Even during peak hours, the nodes respawn pretty quickly, but definitely more efficient off peak.
You can't see it, but I just facepalmed myself. I can not believe that I forgot to mention the Hollow City! I gradually realized that it was an incredible spot to farm because of how many alchemy nodes I would run into while on my way to the luxury vendor every weekend. Thank you so much for mentioning this place!!
A kind soul introduced me to it and increased my income by a lot after playing for 3-4 months. I mention it in my gold making classes to my social guild all the time. :)
ESO 2 electric bugaloss Also Velyn Harbor is my main city. Lowest population of any "main" city in the game, since it is the only one locked behind a quest to gain access to it. Writs can be done super quick, and the bank is also super close to the writ turn ins! Malabal Tor in general is just a very underappreciated zone
I have literally no interest in ever farming nodes but I saw this in my feed and immediately clicked on it for entertainment value while I had some cheese, crackers, and olives, before logging on to ESO for the night. Was not disappointed, except in how you pronounce Bouge-luis.
That is my favourite snack, you have good taste! I am glad I was able to provide some entertainment, and I hope you can find it in yourself to forgive my absolutely unbearable pronunciation of the word bog Louise
BTW, in addition to my earlier reply and totally not related 😁😁 I think it would be wonderful to see/hear a live twitch/RU-vid stream from you. You have a wonderful sense of humour in your videos and I can imagine this is the same in live sessions 😀
mispronunciation--- it happens, esp in fantasy worlds-- books, gaming, etc. in Warcraft, there is a character called Norgannon. I said "Nor GANN uhn" for years but it was supposed to be "Norga NON". Oh well. Enjoyed the vid, going to farm mats after reset today. Hang in there--- Keep making videos!!
Great tips as always! I have the house in Fell's Run, Rivenspire and I always do a bit of gathering when I leave there. It's a also decent place for torchbugs if you need Torchbug Thoraxes.
Oh for sure, that river there around the perimeter of the town is rich with torchbugs! Sorry little guys, but I have to harvest you for my expensive artaeum takeaway broths!
Fell’s Run has always been my go-to for farming. I do occasionally run the Craglorn loop in your video, but there’s usually always someone who has picked the area clean and all that’s left are alchemy and rune nodes. For refining and crafting, my number 1 spot is Vivec. Everything in one area and outside, even the bank. But I occasionally utilize Alinor because it’s so pretty.
After level 50/CP160, I mostly farm Craglorn, and Coldharbour, because of Contrast. Also, they're fairly wide open, so you can cover the distance fairly easily, but Ruby resource nodes are pretty bright red. So, they stand out on the Blue ground of Coldharbor, and the sands of Craglorn very well, when I'm zipping along at high speed. (I also farm with a Woodelf Stamina Sorcerer. Quick Cloak/Hasty Retreat, Hurricane, and Streak to jump gaps like rivers. So, you can miss them if you're not paying attention.) Alik'r Desert is High Contrast too, but it's not as easy to get around, because the material nodes are often up/down cliffs, and hard to get at.
Honestly, you have a girl's voice. So, there's guys that will look for something to correct you on. As if the pronunciation of "Bugloss" is that damned important. (Also note: Bugloss doesn't grow in Coldharbour, so don't bother looking for it there.)
I recently started playing, mainly on PC but do have the game on PS4 and play it some on there as well. That said I've been playing MMORPG's for over 20 years and have burnout, however ESO is different from most MMORPGs with the way it handles class/skill progression and class roles. When I started chasing the leveling treadmill I realized that was part of the problem, the other part is after years of raiding not really looking forward to Endgame raiding nor being an endgame fashionista, then the other day I stumbled across this channel and decided rather than doing the usual I would mostly concentrate on farming and dailies while enjoying the scenery and occasional questing, that may sound boring to some but I'm really enjoying the relaxing style of play, thank you for all the great farming vids
I think that is how I have managed to not experience any burnout myself - taking time to enjoy the “little things” in eso like gathering materials in a new area, or fighting world bosses by myself, or searching through mysterious dungeons for rare furnishing plans has really kept me immersed and interested in the game :) Welcome to the channel, I hope my content can serve you well :D
Another few routes to try out sometime! Here's hoping for Farming Routes 2: Electric Buglossaloo! I am personally fond of Eastern Craglorn for my route. It's usually quiet at my playtimes and I've learnt some good nodes I can nab from nearby NPCs and get away.
I’m definitely planning on checking out all of the routes mentioned by you guys in the comments; it’s very likely I’ll make a part 2 some time down the line :) I’ll have to give eastern craglorn a shot!
My preferred spot to do my workshopping is Northern Elsweyr, the open plaza is so nice especially on console so you don't have to run everywhere unloading and waiting for npc to reload again
I used to craft in craglorn all the time when there were way more people playing. However as of late I craft in mournhold to monitor deals in zone chat because that's where all the main traders are on my platform.
I often farm mats at Khenarthi's Roost. The whole island has great farming spots for wood, cloth, metals, runes, plants and chests. And lots of mudcrabs (for decorative wax, mudcrab chipit and leather stuff), torchbugs (for the beetle alchemy item) and also some beetles (for the same item) and some other easy mobs. Also a lot of water sacs. What is also wonderful about this place is that it is much easier to go here when you have an old/crappy/laggy pc. I have lots of lag and issues in almost every place EXCEPT for this one!
@@Arttea I think Alinor is my favorite, and also has the most beautiful crafting area in the game! I rarely go back to Vvardenfell now, you should try it out a few times if you haven't already :)
Hi Arttea all initial zones are pretty good to farm materials. Stro's Makay, Kenarthis Roots, Betnick, Bleakrock, etc. I love North Elsweyr. The are so many nodes there, and of course craglorn. Thank you for the video and, please, forgive me for any lang mistakes :(
Hey! :D Your English is perfect, don’t worry! And yes you are right, I think starter zones may have the best potential for farming mats because the rates at which the nodes respawn are significantly higher than in other zones. Where in elsweyr do you like to farm mats? Like by which city/wayshrine? I’ve had a few commenters say that they like Elsweyr for farming, so I’m curious where they are going!
@@Arttea You are a very kind person. Thank you. About your question, around all North Elsweyr you have good spots to harvest materials. I like to do it between tenmar temple wayshire and hakoshae wayshire. Lots of nodes and few people to compete. ;)
Ohhhh yes now that you mention it, I have realized that that area DOES have a lot of nodes. I farmed around that path way back when Elsweyr came out, what a throwback! I’ll definitely include that area in the part 2 to this video that I’ll make some time later, and I’ll be sure to give you credit! Thanks for sharing :)
Bugloss is said as BUG LOSS seems fairly simple and straight forward.. i think your commenter / stalker forget his medications.. it was a nice video.. though bal foyen can be a battlefield sometimes with the number of people who farm it.. though the spot you mentioned was spot on.. i tend to farm places people hate going which usually includes killing a few mobs then farming away without issues. i subscribed and look forward to your next video.. job well done..
It is better to have a specific farm route and specific target with a time frame for one route completion so that nodes inside your farming routes are never harvested by other players. I have a ~2min farming route in Hew's Bane focusing solely on rubedite ore and platinum dust, you can start at any nodes but the trick with this kind of farming is that, when going farm through your route and reach your first node, it will spawn just as you reach the node thus makes it almost impossible for people to disrupt it, you go to the second node and then it spawn just as you reach it and so on. It needs a bit of concentration and practice and can be exhausting if you're trying to do it for multiple hours, I usually listen to music or audiobooks. You can easily make 150k per hour, I don't farm like that these days as I cumulate more than enough gold to buy for end-game gears and golding them out. I occasionally do the type of farming you do in this video, more relaxing and at any pace you want, usually while waiting for dungeons or when I got bored the living shit out of the game and still have some conscience that afking near Waysrhine isn't that productive.
Rhawlka is my place cuz thats the best we had before morrowind came out, and the bank is right next to the wayshrine. I'm now calling it "boogerloose" from now on XD
I can’t imagine a Tamriel before Vvardenfell! Literally wasn’t around back then haha but I’ve heard plenty of stories. I guess that would explain why Rawlkha is still a very popular trading hub
Another GREAT video Arttea! There's a way to import ALL the nodes in Harvest Map without having to discover them. You just have to run a file they put into their addon folder. I do my crafting/refining in BlackWood now, before that it was Alinor. I really like to farm The Hollow City in Coldharbor for alchemist mats galore. They respawn so fast too! The entire city is just overloaded with nodes. I liked Alinor too for some unique harvesting (clams & fishing). I have a route that takes me all over Stros M'kai for balance of all nodes. I've always said BUG LOSS too. I'm shocked to find out some people would call it something else, even if that something else is correct. I'm not saying boogerloose.
First time watching one of your videos, was helpful. I totally agree, Byugloss? Come on bro.. haha. That byug’d the sh*t out of me! On a side note, you should totally do those night time sleep app voice thingys.. your voice is soothing/calming :) keep up the vids!
I now go to Blackwood for crafting. Used to be auridon but the wayshrine is much closer in Blackwood and everything is right next to each other. I swear some places have woodworking way off the location shown on the map.
First time i saw that plant in game i said "it's fuckin byu gloss isn't it" I hope that dude is seething, Vvardenfell best zone best city, thanks for another great vid.
Thanks for this :) Trying to get enough silk to make Order's Wrath having started over on console. Also, your voice along with the chill beats puts me at ease. Love the content
I've always called it Bluegloss. I shit you not. I never even noticed until stumbling across your video in 2022 lol. I've played since release pretty much
The Balfoyen Bowl - newb zones respawn more quickly, there's T-map and chest spawns there, and by the time you've done one circle, things are respawning
100% will always love vvardenfell for farming mats. The chance at stumbling upon chests for motifs and paintings worth millions is too much to pass up.
I found tons of mats in Central / Central-East Wrothgar (Near that underground quarry , Greystone or whatever) . Also I always pronounce Bugloss in my head so not sure how it would sound inside other heads. I live when people pronounce things different than me. It shows that eventhough society pressures us to all be the same we are still unique. Go Individuality!! Not sure if that’s a word . IPhone didn’t recognize it.
I craft and do most for my writ dailies in Auridon, starting out I found that one to be the most conveniently placed, at least early game, though down the line I may switch to Summerset since it has an even better set up for crafting stations and is right next to the writ turn in areas. I just stick to Auridon now since I also do my mount training daily and I know the stables isn't far from the crafting stations
Where do I go to my mat refining? Vivec. Been there for years. I have been doing the Vivec Loop for my daily writs since Vvardenfell was released. There are probably better spots now, but I run this track via muscle memory now, with no brain required. As for the actual material farming, I love Summerset. It is just beautiful. I do like Artaeum for the chance to get Pyandonean bottles while fishing. Most of my farming is passive. I only actively go after the surveys, but I harvest, loot, pickpocket or murder everything and everyone in my path while doing them. No mineral, vegetable or animal is safe when I am harvesting! 😬
bewgloss 🤣 cant believe you mentioned bal foyen and not mentioned the part thats most known for farming, (the wayshrine and coast on bottom right) so that was a shock, the rivenspire area you mentioned is also the start of the chest run i farm, so will check that out too, thanks for the info, subbed! 👍
Ah I figured that that area was worth not mentioning just because so many people do know about it. Most times that I port there, like for that one treasure map, the area is picked absolutely clean unfortunately, which would make for unconvincing footage for you guys haha And yeah there are a few chests there around the fells run area so being able to farm chests and mats at the same time is super handy! :)
i really like the road at the southern border of northern elsweyr, you can start at scar's end wayshrine and go all the way to tenmar temple (or vice versa) and theres no challenge with remembering the route because its encased in mountains and the spots are pretty much everywhere you can go. also there are 3 of the treasure maps and 1 wb on this route edit: the highest density of materials is between scar's end and sunspire, after that it's not much but still some chests and psijik portals
I used to refine and do my writs in Alinor in Summerset for the longest time, i am now using Vvardenfell more and more. like the setting a little better
I love farm in craglorn but i farm in others zones too like bangkorai, I don't like to farm in started zones because there are many people doing the same but when I have free time in the morning I go to farm this zones, for me are great places to farm; great video, ty for the info and I call the plats bug loss too xD, I didn't know the right pronunciation
Yeah the same can be said for Artaeum - it gets way too busy during "prime times", so you're better off going there earlier in the morning to farm mats. It looks like everyone here in the comments pronounces it that way lmao ;p
Yeah I made millions selling fotified nirncrux in craglorn, I also farm alikir for atherial dust, and summerset for powdered mother of pearl and perfect roe. IC is also good for getting reagents if I'm not feeling too lazy.
Just saw this video this morning and I needed a laugh, and this definitely delivered! Watched a few other vids of yours as well as I'll be getting back into ESO soon with the next-gen console patch coming with Blackwood, and you're to the point, and informative, so have a sub! Cheers.
Alinor is my favorite crafting area, but for people without max riding skill or a banker assistant, it probably isn't as appealing as Vivec. Also, thanks for all the tips on how to find betelgeuse. Super handy!
My harvesting character, Speedy Steve, not only has all of the proper speed gear, cp, and harvesting cp, but I keep him at Vamp stage 4 so he's invisible while running and never seems to run out of stam. That way I can just run by annoying mobs and bosses if I'm only farming.
Did a poll at my house, 3 more bug loss pronouncers. Never felt the need to correct someone's pronunciation, even one man who kept pronouncing ingots, as ig-nots, although we all laughed about it.
Haha love it! I polled my guildies and everyone that responded had been pronouncing it “bug loss” as well! I’m not bothered at all when others mispronounce things, hecc, I’m guilty of doing so myself, but it was very interesting to see such an abrasive comment about such a minor mishap, I definitely did not expect it! 😅
Vvardenfell is the easiest and fastest for daily writs for sure but it gets monotonous so I venture out all over. Whatever happened to Artaeum farming while you do digs? You get lots of treasure, chests, and nodes in one small area. Even with people everywhere you can still cash in nicely.
It’s a great spot for farming, that’s for sure - it’s why I included it in this list. But because of the high volume of people in the area, Artaeum just isn’t as great as it used to be, and there are certainly more node dense areas out there with far less people to compete with that may also be worth considering :)
I do my crafting at stormhold in shadowfen. Aside from the guild traders i think it's the best one. All the crafting stations are in a tight circle and the banker and outlaw refuge is right there
Nice video! I also say bugloss like you do actually. I probably mispronounce a lot of written words in ESO since I’m not a native English speaker but hey who cares, guess who speaks 2 languages fluently and who doesn’t right? I used to do all my writs in Riften when I started the game. Nice city that’s usually not crowded at all and everything is really close by so you can do it really quickly, there are also not really doors there only for alchemy if I recall correctly. And since it’s base game everyone has acces to it. But since I’ve gotten ESO+ and have been playing the game for a long time I’m now doing it in Vivec City. I go to Bethnik most of the time to farm but last few days a lot of my mats were stolen right in front of me by bots ugh.
2 years late to the party but Bugloss is an english bastardization of the french and greek pronounciations. So you should call it vovigliossa if I'm not mistaken, or just ox tongue.
I love to farm in Artheum, because it's small and packed, mobless of course, and there is plenty of free food and deers. Oh and I can search for antiquities while farming. Oh and your voice is... Mmmm 😍
