Best Stamina Warden Leveling Sets

Shadow Of The Red Mountain is a great damage oriented set, but remember, this only procs the 5 piece bonus on weapon attacks, so keep those weapon abilities firing as much as possible!

Spriggan’s Thorns is another fantastic beginner set in ESO which increases your damage through Offensive Penetration and Max Stamina, and can easily be used all the way to Level 50 and beyond!

For our final two pieces I recommend Armor Of The Trainee for some extra Health and Magicka stats.

Alternate Stamina Warden Leveling Sets

For alternatives, I also recommend Briarheart and Venomous Smite, though these do require access to some more difficult DLC zones so you may not be able to get them right away. Remember that your armor pieces can go into any gear slot, meaning you only need to use 10 slots total for this build. I recommend using the Level Up Rewards weapons (Prophet’s Bow) to make up the remaining 2 open gear slots.

(3 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Stamina

SET BONUS
(2 items) Adds 657 Critical Chance
(3 items) Adds 657 Critical Chance
(4 items) Adds 129 Weapon and Spell Damage
(5 items) Dealing Critical Damage inflicts Hunter’s Venom on your enemy for 10 seconds, dealing 2241 Poison Damage to your target and enemies within 6 meters of them every 1 second. This effect can occur once every 15 seconds.

Stamina Warden Leveling Build Attributes

Most of our skills cost Stamina to cast, so putting all Attribute Points into Stamina will be the most effective.

Stamina Warden Leveling Build Race

I prefer Wood Elf for this build thanks to the extra stamina and recovery. Redguard can also be a very good option thanks to the reduced cost of weapon abilities (great for bow builds) and extra stamina sustain. For more details on all ESO Races and passive bonuses be sure to check out our Full ESO Race Guide.

Stamina Warden Leveling Build Mundus Stone

The best Mundus Stone for leveling in the Elder Scrolls Online is the Lover Mundus because this increases your Offensive Penetration, allowing all of your skills to do more damage. Offensive Penetration can usually only be obtained through Light Armor Passives and rarely on gear sets, so boosting this stat early through your Mundus Stone will make the biggest impact, helping you kill enemies faster and thus level up faster! Review our complete Mundus Stone guide for more information.

The Lover

Increases Physical and Spell Penetration by 2744

---

With 7 Divines armor pieces
Increases Physical and Spell Penetration by 4489

Stamina Warden Leveling Build Food/Drink Buff

Dubious Cameron Throne is the best food or drink buff available when leveling up a Stamina build in ESO because it provides Maximum Stamina which boosts your Damage, Stamina Recovery which helps you sustain your skills and Maximum Health which improves your survivability. This drink scales with your level and can be crafted or purchased from Guild Traders.

Dubious Camoran Throne

---

Increase Stamina Recovery by 315, Max Stamina by 2856 and Max Health by 3094 for 2 hours.

These effects are scaled based on your level.

A dessert cocktail of jagga, rotmeth, and sweetbread puree. Definitely Green Pact compliant.

Stamina Warden Leveling Build Potions

Basic Stamina Potions are fine for leveling up as a Stamina build in ESO. Keep these on hand to restore your Stamina and increase your Stamina recovery when running low on resources.
