Hit VR 10 last night. I've got four more zones to complete and Craglorn to finish so hitting VR14 shouldn't be an issue I think.

Started doing Valenwood quests and really digging the province and feel of it. Last night I ate a frog, tripped balls, and became one with an ancient talking tree. Probably favorite setting since leaving Black Marsh.

I got VR5 something like 80-90% through Alik'r, but that was with daily silver pledges and odd Cyrodiil scouting. Did you just grind or does AD have more quests etc?

I was about vr6 by the time I finished Bangkorai for DC, then proceeded to do all of VR 6 to almost VR 9 doing just dungeons, skyshards hunting, and clearing delves in Cyrodiil. I don't think I did a single quest for like a week or so. Its possible to level up VR pretty decently not questing or grinding, it can just be more inconsistent because you don't have arrows pointing you around. I started around VR 9 and I didn't clear any POIs in AD zones so if I can manage one VR a zone should be fine.

I do have ESO Plus though, that'll be about a 10% difference exp wise.

Edit: IMO Cyrodiil is the best exp in the game currently, but you do have to keep an eye out for other players.

Trophies in the "misc" tab do emotes and trophies in the consumable tabs are for achievements and can be chucked if you already have used them before.

If the trophy disappears when you double click it, thats not a glitch it just the consumable top that adds to an achievement.

Here you go. It's the basic setup I use. I finish it out with potions, stat food, and 2 armor sets (Hunding's and Night's Silence).

Some of that stuff is interchangeable, like if I want survivability, I'll swap out Evil Hunter for either Bound Armaments (Bound Armor Stamina Morph) or Boundless Storm.

Scyantific, can you re-do your build? ESOhead changed their architecture and broke all of the old builds. I had yours saved, as I am working towards it, but now it is gone. Thanks.

I think you will be fine. Leveling up is pretty easy and gear isn't an issue, I find. You can still level up your crafting skills through deconstruction without much effort, so they will be there waiting for you by the time you are swimming in skill points.

Just a reminder: Guild bank is open to everyone, which means if you dump a legendary level crafting item like Kuta, it probablysure as hell won't be there the next time you log in.

Whoever dropped it give me a shout ingame at @Scyantific and I'll give you a share of the sales money from it. Or an item of your choice.

Isn't the name of whoever deposited it logged? I've been yanking low level gear every day or so to do research for crafting. I deposit money in the bank whenever I do that even though I'm not entirely sure what the guild bank is for.

ESO was kinda fun, thinking of getting back into it, got a few questions if you guys could answer them.

Since the guilds are still there, I'm assuming our subscription characters still exist? I won't need to reroll right?

When I quit the game, Templars got hit hard with a nerf that added a 1 second gcd after our spear skill, forgot what the skill was called, but it wrecked that skill. Do they still have that?

VR13 was the max level when I quit, is that still the max?

VR was kinda poorly planned out in the sense that storm atronachs were near impossible to kill solo around VR10, did they tweak VR?

Are Templars good healers again? I recall Sorc taking the best heal title away from Templars after the Craglorn patch.

Synthwave Crusader
Feb 13, 2011

Templars and Sorcs are kinda tied for "Best Heals" mainly because Templars have actual heals that don't require Resto staff, but Sorcs can stack on some pretty nasty cost redux and mana regen bonuses; not to mention they have a backup mana pool with Dark Exchange, and can also stack some ridiculous shielding with Hardened Ward + Dampen Magic + Healing Ward (I've been healing for the last 3 weeks in v12-v14 vet dungeons and I've yet to have anyone yell at me for having bad heals).

You don't have to reroll, but everyone's had their skills and attributes reset and there's been an assload of changes so re-rolling might be a good option (plus if you rolled DC they're basically non-existent in PvP, and the majority of new goons are all in EP). V13 got bumped up to V14, and they've done some work into making poo poo easier. Storm atros still loving suck though, gently caress them.

I got max crafting on my guy, and several 8 traits researched, I can't imagine rerolling and waiting 28 days for research to finish again.

the best dropped gear is somewhat better than the best crafted gear, because once you've got the traits you can pretty much manufacture as much crafted gear as you want (the raw materials aren't rare or expensive on the guild stores) but you've gotta grind for the dropped stuff. also you can put the crafted trait on anything you can make except jewelry whereas the dropped gear sets have specific items they appear on. so basically crafted sets are important for filling out the gaps not covered by dropped sets I guess

This morning I made a discovery, that after the Aldmeri Dominion's epic curbstomping of the Ebonheart Pact on Thornblade, the tides had shifted back and the EP now controlled the entirety of the map again.

BUT... said epic curbstomping left open an opportunity that I was determined to take advantage of:

The crafting system is really good, its all deterministic so you craft the exact item you want with the trait and set bonuses you want. I don't why that guy said drops are better, they aren't. The base stats on drops and craft are all the same, but there are set bonuses only available through and vice versa.

To guy worried about rerolling. Do what I did and just turn your DC guy into a craft mule.
