In The Elder Scrolls Online, it's hard to get a Companion gear piece with a good Trait or quality. But, it is not impossible. In this guide, Hack The Minotaur lists his top 5 places to farm Companion gear efficiently and the best Companion gear Traits.

Companion gear can drop from all enemies in TESO no matter which
zone you're in. However, Bosses have a higher chance of dropping Companion gear
than normal enemies. Since the drop rate of Companion gear is extremely low, it
is important to find many enemies and defeating them as quickly as possible.
Also, make sure your Companion is summoned and active with you as you go
through these farming options because No Companion Equals No Drops.
5. Delves
Each Delve has only one boss, and the boss has a 5-10 minute
respawn timer before you can earn loot again, which means this is the slowest
method for farming Companion gear. On the flip side, this is a great option for
low-level characters because Delve bosses are the easiest on this list. Plus,
you can benefit from Delves by learning new skills from Books or farming
Skyshards and gear sets.
4. Public Dungeons
Public Dungeon is the most popular option among other players
because most Public Dungeons have five or six bosses that can potentially drop
Companion gear. You can also get lots of ESO money,
valuable items, and a good amount of experience.
Farming Public Dungeons also has its downside. Depending on which
Public Dungeon you choose and what time of day you're playing, it might be very
crowded, meaning you would miss some boss spawns. And, sometimes, if you kill
two or three bosses in a row, they will stop dropping loot. It can be
frustrating, but it's still a good option. Below are some of my favorite Public
Dungeons:
Forgotten Crypts in Deshaan
You can get Companion gear from this dungeon and some powerful
sets like Mother's
Sorrow or Plague Doctor.
Crimson Cove in Malabal Tor
Crimson Cove dungeon is a great place to farm Companion
gear, ESO
gold, experience, and a popular set on Guild Traders –
Spinner's Garments.
Labyrinthian in Western Skyrim
If the previous two Public dungeons are too crowded, you can also
go to the Western Skyrim zone. The Labyrinthian Public Dungeon in Western
Skyrim is a good place for Companion gear, and some other good sets also drop
here.
3. Dolmens
The final boss that gets summoned at the end of a Dolmen or World
Event will have a chance to drop Companion gear. In addition, there are a lot
of other benefits because, in many zones, you'll get Rings, which you can
either deconstruct or sell on Guild Traders.
Alik'r Desert, Bangkorai, Malabal Tor, and Auridon are all zones
where you can farm Dolmens efficiently. You will find Dolman groups in plenty
of zones, and if your level is high enough, you can even solo these Dolmens
yourself.
Farming Dolmens is also a great way to obtain experience when you
need to get Champion points or level up your character or your Companion.
2. World Bosses
Any World Boss has a chance to drop a piece of Companion gear, and
I would recommend doing this in the base game zones because those bosses are
much easier to defeat. Players under level 50 can also solo those bosses, and
having a Companion Tank or a Healer will make this method even better. There is
a route that contains some easy bosses, and you can farm this route repeatedly:
1. In the zone of Deshaan, you can take out Short-Tusk's Hillock
in Deshaan.
2. Run down to the southern portion of the zone and take on the
Grove of the Abomination.
3. Fast travel to the Ghost Snake Vale Wayshrine and take on the
Dire Bramble Patch
4. Beat the boss at the Druitularg's Ritual Altar, which locates
to the north-east of Dire Bramble Patch
With a Companion, these bosses will be much easier to solo than
they ever were. Furthermore, if you pick up another person, two players with
two Companions will make this even faster.
1. Normal Group Dungeons
Doing Normal Group Dungeons is the most efficient way to farm
Companion gear on this list. You can do this method in a group of two, and you
can even solo. I recommend doing the Normal difficulty dungeons because those
are super easy. Below are the reasons why you should try the Normal Group
dungeons:
1. It's solo-instanced, which means nobody is taking your kills
from you, allowing you to go at your own pace and learn the dungeon.
2. Most Group dungeon bosses, especially those on Normal
difficulty, are easier than World Bosses because they have much less Health. In
terms of difficulty, this is just a small step up above a Public Dungeon, but
it's instanced, so you don't have to worry about losing these bosses to any
other players.
My favorite options for this
method are Wayrest
Sewers 1 (Normal), Fungal Grotto 1, and Crypt Of
Hearts. When doing the Wayrest Sewers 1 (Normal) dungeon, you
don't need to complete it. You can do the first 5-6 rooms where there is only
one boss in each room, and that allows you to defeat five bosses quickly.
Usually, it will only take ten minutes or less, especially if you are
higher-level.

Best Traits for Your Companion Gear
You would get a ton of Companion gear pieces with different Traits
and qualities. But not every Trait for Companions is a good, and there are some
best-in-slot Traits based on how you want to build your Companion:
Quickened: the best all-around Trait for any Companion build
Vigorous: increases Companion Health
Bolstered: reduces Companion Damage Taken
Soothing: increases Companion Healing
Aggressive: increases Companion Damage
Quickened
Some Companion abilities have very long Cooldowns, so, anything
you can do to reduce the Cooldowns will make your Companion a lot more
effective. The Quickened Trait decreases your Companion ability Cooldowns, and
it will be helpful whether you want to build your Companion up as a Tank, DPS,
or Healer.
Vigorous
If you're planning to build your Companion as a Tank, there are
two Traits you want to look out for: Vigorous and Bolstered.
The Vigorous Trait increases your Companion's Max Health. If you
focus on Vigorous armor, weapons, or jewelry, with this Trait, your Companion
can get over 40,000 max Health, which will be great for helping them take the
big hits from Tanking bosses.
Bolstered
Another good option is the Bolstered Trait. This one reduces the
amount of damage your Companion takes, making them survive longer. So, a
combination of Vigorous and Bolstered will be helpful for Tank Companions.
Soothing
For a Companion Healer, the main Trait you'll want is called
Soothing. A Soothing Trait is a great option for Healers because it buffs your
Companion's Healing done so that your Companion can heal you or themselves for
more.
Aggressive
For a DPS-focused Companion build, the ideal Trait is the
Aggressive Trait that increases their overall damage done.
When you are just leveling your Companion, Traits don't make a
huge difference. But if your goal is to min-max your Companion and you start
taking on harder content with them, you will need those best-in-slot Traits for
the long run.

The drop rate of Companion gear is super low at the moment, and it
will be more difficult to get a gear piece with a good Trait or quality. The
best and fastest way to get a decent armor piece for your Companions is to buy
from Guild Trader using your TESO
gold. However, Companion gear can be costly in the game, so
if you don't have enough gold, you can buy ESO gold from MmoGah, and
we use a secure delivery method to make sure you can receive your gold
smoothly.
