This guide gives skills, champion points, and gear for an ESO Beginner Magicka Arcanist Build, intended for the new or returning player!
This build has been updated for the Update 41 patch, Scions of Ithelia for the Elder Scrolls Online.
Why Should You Play the ESO Beginner Magicka Arcanist Build?
Welcome to the ESO Beginner Magicka Arcanist Build for The Elder Scrolls Online. This build is intended for the new or returning player who wants a starting build with flexible options for skills and gear! Pick up the build if you want an ultra-simple, easy, and hard-hitting build that can dominate in any content.
Keep reading for all the details about Skills, Rotation, Gear, Passives, and Champion points for the build! The Gear section will include options for Beginner, Intermediate, and Optimal set-ups, with plenty of flex options available for those still filling out their sticker books.
ESO Beginner Magicka Arcanist Build Playstyle
TextUse the following rotation as the starter point. After, apply your buffs and cast the DoT skills on cooldown for the best, highest DPS. In total, the Damage over Time skills (DoTs) do more damage than your main spammable. Thus, they need to be cast less often and are easier to maintain, for example, the Barb Trap from Fighters Guild. Maintain DoTs and use your spammable skill as filler until you need to reapply the DoTS.
As an Arcanist, you’ll need to generate and consume Cruxes to enhance your stats constantly, so keep close attention to it. The Cephaliarch’s Flail skill is your main spammable, range and crux builder. Nextly you’ll be beaming with Pragmatic Fatecarver and its 4.5-second channel. Your goal is to build up 3x Crux’s, debuff with Flail, and build up 3x more Crux’s and beam. The trick is to reapply all your DoTs and heals just before the beam does all the work for you.
Survivability
If you run out of resources, do a heavy attack and return to your rotation. Remember that a heavy attack on off-balance enemies will return double the resources. Additionally, if you are a beginner or struggle with sustain, you can flex in the Consuming Trap skill instead of a DoT skill. The Consuming Trap gives you a flood of both resources when a target dies.
Use the healing skill Resolving Vigor, when your health drops below 60% or the shield skill (Spiteward of the Lucid Mind) when you anticipate damage. Also, always use the suggested food and potions as they significantly increase your damage, survivability, and resource sustain.

Priorities and Unlocks
When starting the Elder Scrolls Online, it can be confusing on what you should focus on first. Use the below list as a guide on where you should focus on first with a new character:
- Unlock Weapon Lines
- Unlock Skill Lines
- Unlock Builds
- Consumables, Bag Space & XP Boost
- Setup Armor
- Unlock Guilds
- Level 10
Unlock Weapon Lines
Your priority is to unlock two or more weapon skill lines when you initially unlock your character. You can do this by obtaining the weapon type or choice like a destruction staff and a restoration staff or bow and two-handed. Simply equip the weapon, obtain a kill and some experience with that weapon outside of the nearest town, then the weapon skill line will be unlocked.
It’s important to note, you can level up your weapon skill lines without having the weapon equipped. This is done by having a skill on your bar when you earn experience. Thus, you can level two weapon skill lines at the same time even at level 3. This helps when you reach level 50 and have two weapon skill lines maxed out vs having to continually progress them. More on this later, for now stamina builds unlock bow, two-handed, and dual wield. Magicka users unlock Destruction Staff, Restoration Staff, and Dual wield.
Setup Armor
The next step in ESO, is to unlock armor. Similar to weapon skill lines, you want to unlock the skill tree and level it throughout your adventure. To do this, simply save up about 500 gold and go to your nearest town and vendor. You will need 3 armor type equipped at a time to unlock the skill line. Thus, equip 3 medium, 3 heavy, then 3 light armor for all the skill lines. This doesn’t seem important but is vital regardless of what you assume you will play at end game.
From this point, it’s advisable to equip 3 of your primary armor type. Magicka users want 3 light, 2 medium and 2 heavy. Stamina users want to equip 3 medium, 2 light, and 2 heavy. This will progress your armor skill lines somewhat evenly and will help reaching max level.
Unlock Guilds
The next series of skill lines come from guilds. Mages guild, undaunted and Fighters guild. These will all be in your original main town with Undauned located in a tavern. Simply do an introduction quest and unlock these straight away. You can obtain an advanced one, Psijic order as well, but save that for later.
Setup Skill Bar
Now you need to prioritize obtain skills via skyshards, dungeon completion, main story quest completions and more. You then want to setup your skill bar so you level two skill lines at once on your front bar. This will result in one “dead” skill that is unusable but helps level the back bar.
Example Skill Bar Stamina
- Flurry (morph to Bloodthirst) – Dual Wield
- Uppercut (dead skill just leave to level) – Two-Handed
- Class Skill Line 1 (first skill line skill any)
- Class Skill Line 2 (second skill line skill any)
- Class Skill Line 3 (third skill line skill any)
- Ultimate: unlocked later, but choose a survivability one
Example Skill Bar Magicka
- Force Shock (morph to Force Pulse) – Destruction Staff
- Grand Healing (dead skill just leave to level) – Restoration Staff
- Class Skill Line 1 (first skill line skill any)
- Class Skill Line 2 (second skill line skill any)
- Class Skill Line 3 (third skill line skill any)
- Ultimate: unlocked later, but choose a survivability one
Progression
Now, your skills and armor will level up simultaneously with one dead skill. Obviously, flex in and out the weapon types but the premise remains for a good leveling experience. Put one skill from each of your skill lines on your bar, two weapon skills, and the ultimate of choice. Once you unlock your back bar at level 15, use that for healing and buffs.
Consumables, Bag Space & XP Boost
Make sure to use consumables like food, potions, and experience boosters. Every town has a vendor with basic food. You will earn purple crown store food which you should consume. Depending on experience, you will likely need “recovery” food or a refreshing drink. This helps you continue to cast spells and prevent death.
Next, save gold to expand your bag space. This will be helpful as you collect and deconstruct. The bag space vendor will be the main story.
Level 10
At level 10, Elder Scrolls Online opens up drastically. You should focus on the following:
- Go to Cyrodiil, do intro quest, 2 skill points
- Do an undaunted intro quest by completing dungeon
- Complete daily dungeon quest via the que finder for massive XP
- Continue to progress through main story
From here, the easiest way to level is by completing all the normal dungeons as you level up and the main story. This gives you a lot of skill points and makes it much easier to level quickly. Rely on the dungeon finder to find a group until you make friends.
Daily Priorities
Make sure to check out our daily priorities list. This helps to give you a series of helpful actions to complete each day beyond this guides scope.

Skills
Level 3 Starter – Brand New Character – Fire Staff
Work towards advancing and unlocking skills. It’s especially helpful to change out skills and at least get them to the “morphed” stage. You can always change these later for a very small fee so don’t worry if you make a mistake.
Runic Embrace (Morph of Runic Jolt | Skill Line : Soldier of Apocrypha) – This acts as your spammable ability early on in the game. It heals you which you will lack starting out and does okay damage. Quickly swap this to something more useful in the skill line as you progress and don’t need as much healing.
Escalating Runeblades (Morph of Runeblades | Skill Line : Herald of the Tome) – Main spammable, range, crux builder and area damage. This morph gives you a good single target and area damage. Use this skill to build Crux’s then one of two abilities to use them once you have three.
Evolving Runemend (Morph of Runemend | Skill Line : Curative Runeforms) – This is your burst heal when in trouble though it cost a lot of resources to cast. Use in conjunction with Runic Embrace. Swap this as you progress to something else in the skill line unless you need healing then keep it on your bar.
Force Shock (Skill Line : Destruction Staff) – This skill is simply slotted for quick leveling of the destruction skill line. You earn experience by the number of skills on your bar, it’s not an effect skill but mainly used to level until you get more useful skills in Destruction Staff.
Grand Healing (Skill Line : Restoration Staff) – This skill won’t be useable and seems very odd to slot a “dead skill.” Trust me, it will help you out leveling up skills and morphs then at level 15 having a complete front and back bar. If you don’t want to slot a dead skill, go with Consuming Trap from World skill line for resource sustain.
The Tide King’s Gaze (Morph of The Unblinking Eye | Skill Line : Herald of the Tome) – You won’t be able to get this ultimate right away, but when you did it’ll provide huge damage. If you struggle with survivability take the second skill line tank/shield ultimate for easier survivability.
Level 15 – Front Bar – Lighting Staff and Back Restoration
At this stage, you should have the ability to bar-swap. This comes in very handy to have leveled restoration staff because you can put healing abilities on your secondary bar and also use resto to fully charge heavy attack to get resources back. I’ll list front bar skills but in generally put armor, healing, mobility, and consuming trap from the world soul magic skill line on the back bar. You won’t be getting much XP since nearly all your kills should be on the front.
Unstable Wall of Elements (Morph of Wall of Elements | Skill Line : Destruction Staff) – This skill you will need for a strong damage over time which procs your back bar weapon enchant. This is important at end game and should be used as a strong damage over time.
Cruxweaver Armor (Morph of Fatewoven Armor | Skill Line : Soldier of Apocrypha) – This is an armor buff and a generator of Crux. This skill will make you more defensible and feed into your Pragmatic Fatecarver beam.
Evolving Runemend (Morph of Runemend | Skill Line : Curative Runeforms) – Keep this skill on your front to level up your skill lines equally and a decent heal.
Pragmatic Fatecarver (Morph of Fatecarver | Skill Line : Herald of the Tome) – This is your main skill from now on and at end game. The Arcanist center’s around Fatecarver ability and its 4.5-second channel. Your goal is to build up 3x Crux’s and beam. You don’t need 3x Crux to cast the ability so feel free to cast on demand if you need instant damage. The trick is to reapply all your DoTs and heals just before the beam does all the work for you. This morph is for better survivability.
Radiating Regeneration (Morph of Regeneration | Skill Line : Restoration Staff) – If you plan on continuing leveling the Restoration Staff skill line, work through each skill, get it morphed and level another. This will be a dead skill without a restoration staff equipped but you will reach end game with much more options.
The Tide King’s Gaze (Morph of The Unblinking Eye | Skill Line : Herald of the Tome) – Great ultimate for damage, swap to tank line for better survivability.
End Game Level 50 – Front Bar – Lighting Staff
Inner Light (Morph of Magelight | Skill Line : Mages Guild) – Slotted for critical bonus and max magicka
Structured Entropy (Morph of Entropy | Skill Line : Mages Guild) – Good damage over time that heals
Cephaliarch’s Flail (Morph of Abyssal Impact | Skill Line : Herald of the Tome) – Crux builder and main spammable.
Pragmatic Fatecarver (Morph of Fatecarver | Skill Line : Herald of the Tome) – Your main nuke skill with 3x Crux.
Recuperative Treatise (Morph of Tome Bearer’s Inspiration | Skill Line : Herald of the Tome) – Buffs our damage, resource sustain and useful skill to slot on front.
Flawless Dawnbreaker (Morph of Dawnbreaker | Skill Line : Fighters Guild) – Passively, this ability boost our damage and can be used during execute phase when you won’t reach 200 ultimate for Shooting Star.

Armor of the Seducer: three trait craftable item. Locations are Deshaan, Grahtwood, Stormhaven.
- Why? with zero champion points or limited knowledge of the game, sustaining resources is the hardest thing to do. Getting this early will be a big help while leveling.
Heartland Conqueror: craftable set in Blackwood, 7 traits required. If you don’t own Blackwood, you can have someone craft or buy from traders.
- Why? this unique set doubles weapon trait effectiveness, giving you even more benefit for using the training trait. See flex options below if you don’t have this set.

The premise in ESO is base game overland is the easiest gear to obtained. Because at any level, you can go to zone and farm it. Crafting is second as it takes time to unlock traits and my require DLC. Dungeons, on normal are third because it takes certain level requirements or DLC to access so that will be the priority of gear in general. Your priority after obtaining the below gear sets is as follows:
- Start doing undaunted pledges and obtain a base game damage monster helm. My two favorite are Nerien’eth from Crypt of Hearts for damage or Ice Heart from Direfrost Keep for survival.
- Next target is to remove Withered Hand with a higher producing damage set. I suggest checking out the builds page for more suggestions.
- Now start working on obtaining dungeons, trials, and mythics for more damage sets.
Gear Sets
Mother’s Sorrow: obtained in Deshaan Ebonheart Pact overland zone drops from delves, world bosses, public dungeons and dark anchors in that zone.
- Why? Great because massive boost to critical = more damage.
Withered Hand: obtained in Alik’r’ Desert Daggerfall Covenant overland zone drops from delves, world bosses, public dungeons and dark anchors in that zone.
- Why? My favorite overall magicka beginner set due to health/magicka.
Willpower: obtained via Imperial City, dungeon finder and very cheap on guild traders.
- Why? great base game two piece set that gives huge stat bonuses.
Gear Progression

Consumables

Witchmother’s Brew
Type: Foods
CHEAP: this is another level 1 drink you can get BUT you can also buy from traders or someone can give to you. I’d highly recommend saving up and getting some from the traders, Deshaan is typically the hub in ESO. Increase Max Magicka by 2856, Max Health by 3094, and Magicka Recovery by 315 for 2 hours. Ingredients Nightshade, Bervez Juice, Rice, Small Game
