Understanding Training Gear

Training gear in The Elder Scrolls Online is designed to increase the experience gained from killing enemies. This gear trait is particularly useful for players looking to level up their characters quickly. The effectiveness of training gear is tied to the character's level and the enemies they are facing.

When to Change Training Gear

Players typically change their training gear when they reach a new level bracket or when they find gear with better stats or traits that suit their current build. As you progress through the game and your character levels up, you may find that the training gear becomes less effective against higher-level enemies. Therefore, it is advisable to replace it with gear that offers better overall benefits as you advance. Additionally, if you are participating in group content or trials, you might want to switch to gear that enhances your role in the group rather than focusing solely on experience gain.

Community Insights

While there are no strict rules on how often to change training gear, many players recommend evaluating your gear every 5-10 levels or when you feel your experience gain has plateaued. Keeping an eye on your leveling speed and adjusting your gear accordingly can help maintain an efficient leveling process.
