ESO: How to Get the Tide-Born Wildstalker Set Set

To get the Tide-Born Wildstalker Set in ESO, you need to travel to the new zone of Solstice and find the Tide-Born Foundry location where you can craft set pieces. Solstice is an island that you can find off of the southeast coast of Tamriel. Furthermore, the Solstice region is part of the Seasons of the Worm Cult Part 1. Consequently, to have access to it you must purchase the 2025 Content Pass.

Within the island of Solstice, you will find the Tide-Born Foundry far to the north on the western side of the island. Additionally, while there is a wayshrine not too far from it, it will require some foot or mount travel to reach.

How to Use the Tide-Born Wildstalker Set in PvE and PvP?

The best way to use the Tide-Born Wildstalker in ESO would be as a placeholder set in PvE while you work on collecting the pieces for something better. The set bonuses are not bad, but in the overall meta of the game they are not the most desirable. Overall, this is not unexpected for a craftable set. Generally, because they are easier to obtain, they are typically not as powerful as others.

Player vs. Environment (PvE) – Tide-Born Wildstalker is a decent choice for a newer player looking for an easily obtainable set that can be useful in PvE situations. Assuming you have the crafting materials and/or guild members who can make it for you, this is an okay starter set. You can viably wear it as you play and collect pieces from stronger sets you will want at end-game.

Player vs. Player (PvP) – The Tide-Born Wildstalker set is not meant to be worn in PvP. Therefore, it will not be any part of the meta for player vs player combat. While the four piece bonuses would apply when fighting another player, the big 5-piece set bonus will be completely wasted. Unless you are perhaps fighting at the Cyrodiil Dolmens, but this would still make you vulnerable to player attack.
