What Is A Crafting Set Station?
A crafting set station is a crafting area that allows you to craft a specific set piece of armor. Often there are additional requirements, like a number of traits that must be researched before you can make an item of a specific set. While you can make generic pieces at crafting set stations, these are the only areas where you can the specific set that is listed. There is one exception – attunable crafting tables (which are ‘tuned’ to replicate set stations) can be obtained and placed in houses for use.
On your map, crafting set stations appear with a blackened crafting icon when you are close to a location. Once the set station has been visited, the icon turns white.

What Is A Delve?
A delve in The Elder Scrolls Online is in essence a small dungeon. Delves usually contain a few enemies, at least one ‘boss’, and a skyshard. Delves can generally be completed solo. If you are a new player, you may want to explore delves with a friend. Most delves have an associated quest that you can get just inside or near the entrance. This quest is more a side story to the main quest of the area but does offer rewards for completing it.
On your map, delves appear with a blackened single torch. Once the delve is completed (by defeating the boss or bosses), the delve icon turns white.

Click on the boss name for quick access to that section.
Nitch
As you enter into Toothmaul Gully, you will come to a crossroad area where you can take any direction. If you head to the right, you’ll first encounter Nitch. He is an imp and can be missed as he hides in a little nook. Imps are small, winged humanoids who attack with an element spell such as a fire ball, a snowball, or even a spark.
Mechanics
Nitch attacks with fireballs and can be easily defeated. Roll dodge out of the way. There are other imps and enemies in the area that can, if you move too much, be incited enough to join the battle.
Trek Elf-Stabber & Black Bessie
Thek Elf-Stabber is a hostile goblin. Goblins are short humanoid creates that typically live in tribes in or near caves and mines. Thek is joined by Black Bessie, a durzog. Durzogs are hostile reptillian creature that are four-legged, dark green, and resemble dogs. They usually have spings along their backs, red eyes, and long teeth.
Mechanics
Thek uses melee attacks with a sword. His cleave can stun you if you take a direct hit, which makes you easy prey for Black Bessie’s bites. A totem also appears creating a very large aoe. If you have a ranged attack, this will probably work well but Thek can be easily led out of the aoe for melee damage.
Togga The Skewerer
Togga The Skewerer is also a goblin similar to Thek Elf-Stabber. You will find him kneeling in a fence opening.
Mechanics
Togga uses a ranged attack with a bow. Additionally, he will use a horn to summon spiders which creates poison aoe areas. Focusing on the spiders first will help reduce the aoe and make Togga an easier target.
Dzeizik
Dzeizik is considered a goblin champion. While he is located by himself, there are other nearby enemies that can join the battle.
Mechanics
Dzeizik appears heavily armored and uses a melee attack. He will also charge at you. If you have other nearby enemies involved, deal with them first, then turn your focus on Dzeizik.
Gorg & Slakkith
Gorg and Slakkith are a pair of Durzogs much like Black Bessie.
Mechanics
Gorg and Slakkith have nasty bites which can be tricky to avoid since there are two of them. There are so nearby enemies that can join the battle. Focus on the additional enemies, then turn your attention to the durzogs.
Bloodroot and Its Guardians
Bloodroot can often be missed. Bloodroot is located very near to Togga the Skewerer but is dormant. Bloodroot does not actually appear until you defeat all the Spriggan Guardians. A spriggan is a tree spirit that resembles women. They are hostile and difficult to kill due to their ability to self-heal and summon allies.
Mechanics
There are several groups of three Bloodroot Guardians that must be destroyed before Bloodroot will appear. The Guardians are spriggans and will self-heal. If you see them channeling (a beam going to an ally), then bash to interrupt.
Bloodroot is a strangler. Stranglers are plantlike carnivorous creatures who are rooted to the ground and shoot a root tether that pulls you back to them. This is used primarily if you are ranged. Melee attacks will work well as it helps to prevent you from being ‘strangled’. Once the strangler has you tethered, it will drain your blood dealing damage over time. If you bash, you may be able to interrupt the strangler allowing you to break free.
Achievements
Defeating Bloodroot and its guardians will reward you with the Toothmaul Gully Group Event achievement.
Defeating three of the champions in Toothmaul Gully will reward you with the Toothmaul Gully Vanquisher achievement.
Defeating all the champions in Toothmaul Gully will reward you with the Toothmaul Gully Conquerer achievement.
What Is A Group Dungeon?
Group Dungeons are designed to be four-player areas. Dungeons in ESO feature large groups of enemies that are tougher to defeat and have multiple bosses. These bosses pose unique challenges and often feature special mechanics that require teamwork. Each dungeon has a quest with a skill point rewarded for its completion. Dungeons also offer special gear sets that cannot be found in the overland areas of Tamriel. Dungeons can be completed in normal mode, veteran mode, or veteran hardmode. Dungeons completed in any of the veteran modes will reward you with a Monster Helm – a unique piece of armor for the head. You can learn more about Monster sets in the Monster Set Guide and how to obtain the matching shoulder piece in the Undaunted Guide. You can also find a video and a written guide for each dungeon in the All About Mechanics Series.

Auridon is part of the base game content in ESO. Vulkhel Guard was the starting destination for the Aldmeri Dominion alliance.
Auridon is one of fourteen islands of varying sizes that comprise the Summerset Isles. Auridon has a unique natural geography with walls of vast cliffs along its northern coast and granite mountains in the middle.
Renowned for its unique architecture and beautiful gardens, Auridon is home to Firsthold, Skywatch, and Vulkhel Guard. Auridon was settled by Aldmer who are the ancients of the current day Altmer. Much of Auridon remains an untouched forest with ruins from another era.
