Provisioning is a crafting profession in Elder Scrolls Online that is used to transform provisioning ingredients into cooked food and brewed drinks. As an important part of the game, Provisioning will save you a lot of ESO Gold once you upgrade it, as the duration of food, drinks and experience drinks will increase significantly.

In this guide, I’ll share how to level up your Provisioning as quickly as possible. In the meantime, I will show what you need to pay attention to when purchasing the necessary materials and recipes and how many items you need to craft to reach level 50.

Don’t miss this guide as I will also cover the best places to farm these provisioning ingredients. Let’s get started now!

How To Level Up Your Provisioning?

Provisioning skill line is usually upgraded by obtaining Inspiration, which is crafting experience. Inspiration gain cannot be increased through Aetherial Ambrosia, Crown Experience Scrolls, or other experience-raising methods. The only way to increase your inspiration gain is to actually make food or drinks.

Make High-Level Recipes

Keep in mind that the higher the level of a recipe, the more XP or Inspiration you get when crafting it. So it pays to make the highest quality recipes possible.

When you start upgrading your Provisioning, you will make Improvement 1 and Quality 1 recipes. Therefore, in order to upgrade Provisioning as quickly as possible, you need to find or purchase a level 15 recipe with Improvement 1 and Quality 1, for example, Port Hunding Cheese Fries or Pan-Fried Trout.

While you’re here, you’ll also want to find or buy a level 35 blue or advanced recipe with Improvement 3 and Quality 2, for example, Silver Lotusberry Tea or Jasminkgo Tonic. These are great recipes that we will use to quickly upgrade your Provisioning.

You will now be able to go to Provisioning Station, select a level 15 green recipe and craft 160 of your first recipes. This should help you reach level 30 quickly.

Assign Skill Points

Once you reach level 30, you can invest three skill points in Recipe Improvement and another in Recipe Quality. This will allow you to craft level 30 blue recipes. Once these skill points are allocated, you can start crafting 200 blue level 30 recipes, which will bring your supply to level 50!

It’s easy, and even Provisioning from level 1 to level 50 only takes about 10 minutes once you’ve gathered all the necessary materials.

Two Of The Best Places To Farm Provisioning Ingredients

Now, as we mentioned before, if you want to get more provisioning ingredients, there are two places I would recommend you farm.

The first is Ilessan Tower Delve Dungeon in Glenumbra. Ilessan Tower is in a small cave outside Daggerfall. Once you dig deeper, you’ll find that there are tons of crates, barrels, and chests filled with all kinds of different provisioning ingredients.

The next place I recommend is Velyn Harbor in Malabal Tor. Normally, Velyn Harbor is a great place for us to run around and get various craft items.

Once loaded, head to the small island to the northeast, where you’ll find two large barns. In these barns, you’ll find plenty of crates and barrels to loot, filled with ingredients. Once you’ve looted those crates and barrels, you can also choose to upgrade your Blacksmithing and Clothing skill lines here.

Final Thoughts

In conclusion, this guide provides some suggestions for you to upgrade Provisioning. Since you will most likely upgrade more characters in the future, it doesn’t matter if you make too many ingredients or recipes. You can store them on a bank or character, so they are available when you create a new character. See you next time!
