No, that helps. If you can get 10k from junk then I'm good.

It was a combo of several things that got me into the game

The name brand

The continued population after the one year mark, and general health of the game

E3 presentation didn't do anything EXCEPT signal to me that the devs are continuing to support this healthy mmo (Which is actually huge)

How hard do I have to try to get enough skill points to unlock everything? Like if I get the skyshards and do the dungeons and main story quests will I be in skill point heaven or do I need to achievement hunter the skill points down.

Doing all the skyshards, dungeons, and story quests is doing the achievement hunter option.

Oh thats not bad at all, I just see these lore books and things everywhere and figured that was the path to skillpoints. I guess that was just previous elder scrolls games conditioning.

Also can I get a guild invite as Rayne Future, and maybe a set of sweet sweet leather armor for leveling

Another question. So dungeons give a skill point, skyshards give a skillpoint, public dungeons give a skill point ... what about the group bosses marked on the map in the zones? Are these just big dudes to kill or do they grant a skill point?

Fishing is a good way to make some money too. Each fish has a small chance to give you something called "perfect roe" when fileted, which is needed for XP potions. It sells for about 10k on PC. ESO fishing is one of the better MMO implementations too.

I think I read that multiple people fishing a spot ups the yield until it becomes fished out. Something like that. I don't really fish.

More people = better chance for a rare fish, but depletes the hole faster.

Just an FYI, but there are about 50 skill points locked behind PvP. Now that we're getting more goons joining the game, we might start trolling around in PvP if enough people stick around past level 50.

It's Mournhold? What are you asking?

Clockwork City is the Temple of Sotha Sil/his greatest creation. Vivec City is the Temple of Vivec. Mournhold is the Temple of Almalexia.

Also yesssss, more people playing. I'd be 100% down for nightly PvP goon runs if people are interested.

Mournhold's supposed to be a small part of a larger city. I get why they can't really do that for an MMO, though.

The expansion and stuff, including the renaming, at least according to UESP, doesn't begin until the Tiber Wars, as possibly one of the first signs of Almalexia's rampant megalomania that we see fully in Tribunal.

Yeah, it's twofold. Lorewise they've said "well, it's 800 years in the past and the city isn't built up as much as it was by Morrowind" but then they've also said honestly if we did Mournhold as Tribunal described it it wouldn't work gamewise becuase Mounrhold (that you see in Morrowind) is just the inner city and then the city Almalexia surrounding it is supposed to take up like half of Deshaan.

TES has always been a balancing point between gameplay and the lore though. Imperial City is supposed to be like a million people lorewise but its obviously not that in any game whether Oblivion or ESO.

@MooCowlian for a guild invite, please.

What do I do with all the crafting materials and stuff I hoover up? Most of it has no NPC sale value, there's no convenient auction house, and I'm not going to use it. Is there some good way to sell it, or should I just trash it and be more careful with the loot all button in future?

Ask around the goon guild for an invite to a trading guild. Those guilds have the guild merchants in the cities, and people may buy if you put them up for sale.

To be honest, it's never been announced, though the most recent DLC has you tripping over NPCs loudly letting it be known they're on their way to Vvardenfell.

Either way, if it's not the end of this year Q1 2017 would be the three year mark for the game and to me that would seem good time for an expansion sized update (Vvardenfell would be about two or three full sized zones depending how they do it.)

I'm no expert, but from what I've read, you can level with pretty much anything. Bow is definitely not the best way in terms of time if you want to level quickly, but it's perfectly viable, as far as I know.

Ok thanks. I'm just trying to figure out the best way to solo level. I'm having trouble with the named mini bosses as far as my hp if there is any adds with them.

Use a Two-Hander, with the Cleave (Brawler once you hit the morph). Brawler gives you a damage shield.

Also I'll craft you a full set of Training gear for even more delicious XP.

I've been doing this as a new stamblade, but also have been using dw with Whirlwind and that seems really good too.

Anyone playing this on PS4 (NA server)? Having a lot of fun in stonefalls wandering around in 1st person view picking flowers and chopping logs. It feels like Morrowind.

What's the deal with the dungeon finder? Even queueing up as a healer I never actually find a group. Does no one do dungeons at low levels (I am 16-18)?

Dungeon Finder unfortunately has been bugged since DB came out. It's hit or miss solo (sometimes I've queued instantly as DPS, other times it's taken an hour) but premade groups of two and four pop instantly. Groups of three pop instantly but bug out with one member randomly dropped and two pugs taking their spot.

Hopefully a fix will be along shortly.

Thinking of dungeons, how does it handle disconnects? My internet is usually fine but it does occasionally drop for a second, because I'm on wifi in the middle of nowhere. If I go out for a minute or two, is that going to leave whoever I'm with a man down forever and waste my time, or can I join as soon as I've reset the router and loaded back in? Basically, my internet is slightly dodgy at peak times, am I relatively safe to dungeon or should I stick to solo things for fear of totally wasting an hour of my time and that of anyone I'm with?
