Cathab posted:I'm about to hit CP160 this evening, and have some more dumb questions for you poor goons who have already had to put up with plenty of my dumb questions so far (thanks for that). For build guides, Alcast has some good guides that include what gear sets he uses but you need to remember that his stuff is all hyper optimised for endgame vet content and you'll probably want to make some alterations if you're using the builds out doing solo stuff since they don't normally have much in the way of self healing in them. Endgame content wise you'll probably want to start joining in on the Undaunted pledge runs that people do since the dungeons have special 'Monster' sets that consist of a Helmet (that drops in veteran dungeons) and a Shoulderpiece (which come from the chests that you unlock with the keys you get from doing the Undaunted pledge daily quests) that have very powerful bonuses from just the two pieces. The monster sets are also the reason you'll see a lot of people recommending you split your gear sets so that head/shoulders are part of one set with your weapons and the other 5 pieces are the other set. Once you've got a basic set of gear sorted you might also want to start looking into Maelstrom Arena and the trials you mentioned previously. e: going to quote Rollersnake's post so it doesn't get lost since it was the last post on the previous page: Rollersnake posted:This is only relevant once you have the Undaunted Mettle passive, which gives you a % bonus to max magicka, stamina, and health if you're wearing all three different types of armor. Until then, I'd do 5 light/2 heavy if you're DPS or 5 heavy/2 light if you're tanking. Mercurius fucked around with this message at 02:46 on Jun 19, 2017 |

Mercurius posted:In addition to Rollersnake's advice, don't forget to get people in guild to make stuff for you instead of trying to buy it outright from guild traders. The raw materials to make the sets will cost you about 1/4-1/3 of what the actual pieces themselves sell for and it doesn't cost us anything other than time to put them together if you can provide the base materials, plus you get to choose the style of the armour this way. Awesome stuff, thanks very much. So essentially, I'm going to be aiming for whichever two piece monster set appeals to me, and then a five piece crafted set in addition to that? Am I on the right track? If so, what's the virtue of doing Trials etc after that's all taken care of? I mean, if I do a Trial and get a really kickass piece of armor that drops, if I equip that that will mess up the set(s) that I already have and I'll probably lose out in the long run? Sorry if that sounds confusing. And yeah I've heard of Maelstrom Arena (but forgot what it was called). I'll look into doing that now. Thanks.

Something I'd mention regarding Morrowind is that the area has some pretty great stories but they're all delivered through long and involved chains (similar to Wrothgar from the Orsinium DLC) and it's not actually great for experience. Because the exp gain is fairly slow the early game can be a bit frustrating if you're only doing Morrowind stuff on a new character since you're lacking a lot of your skills/morphs and encounters with 3+ enemies or the harder enemies can be quite unforgiving. The 'Main Story' quests from the original game are pretty silly and hammy compared to the rest of the game but I quite like the alliance/zone stories along with the Fighters and Mages guild questlines. I personally think as someone brand new to the game you're actually probably best off doing the main story, fighters/mages guild and alliance questline alongside each other (the guild quests move onto the next zone so you'll know when you need to work on the alliance quests) since it'll introduce you to the supporting cast of recurring characters who pop up again in all the DLCs (and if you're Ebonheart Pact you'll run into a character who is fairly prominent in the Vvardenfell quests in Morrowind). I suppose it depends if you care about having a coherent overarching narrative or whether you're happy to experience the story of the new zone without worrying about how it's connected to the rest of the game.

Sorry if that sounds confusing. Gear progression basically starts you out with a combination of crafted gear and willpower/agility jewellery (giving you a 5 piece armour set, 3 piece armour/weapon set, 3 piece jewellery set) to give you a solid baseline before moving on to some of the monster sets with sets from dungeons (which include jewellery so you can do splits of two 5 piece sets and the monster set if you're dual wielding) and ending up with maelstrom/master weapons combined with two lots of 5 piece sets from trials. Gearing is heavily dependent on the RNG being nice to you (hence the thread title) and giving you the drops you want with the traits you're after such as Divines on armour or Sharpened on weapons for most DPS builds. Once you actually get the drops you want you'll probably want to upgrade them to Legendary quality using Woodworking/Blacksmithing/Clothing so you'll likely need to work on crafting a bit, too.

Mercurius posted:In a lot of cases the set bonuses from the Trials are better optimised (for running said Trials in particular) than the crafted sets or the monster sets from dungeons. Likewise, the special weapons from veteran maelstrom arena (if the RNG gods smile on you and give you one that's sharpened) tend to be better than the extra benefit you'd get from another piece of the set bonus so they're used instead. Great, thanks. So basically, it sounds like it's relatively easy to come across the set pieces themselves (for the set bonuses), however finding them with the right trait (Which as a PVE-focused DPS, I would want Sharpened for my weapons and Divines for my armor?) is the tricky part. So after some googling, apparently what I should be aiming for is the two piece Grothdarr set, as well as a 5 piece Burning Spellweave set...? And apparently, to get the Grothdarr stuff, one piece can only be obtained by opening the Redbeard chest with one of my pledge keys, and the other piece can only be obtained by killing the final boss in the Vaults of Madness on Veteran mode? (So, basically, I have 7 keys right now, and in order to get what I want I should just basically open the Redbeard chest seven times over and hope that the one Grothdarr item that I want comes out of it?) With the Burning Spellweave set... is that craftable? Or do I need to complete a particular dungeon over and over for each of the pieces? And that only takes care of the armor pieces. Do weapons factor into sets as well? Or are they something else entirely? Sorry if that doesn't make sense, I'm just trying to formulate a bit of a game plan as to what to do from here to get geared up respectably.

And yeah, just open the undaunted chests repeatedly and you'll get a purple shoulderpiece of random armour weight drawn from a pool of possible drops. More RNG! Burning Spellweave pieces are drops from City of Ash, IIRC (maybe from COAII?). Dungeon sets normally include weapons and jewellery as well as armour pieces so there's a lot more flexibility in gearing up. e: yeah, Burning Spellweave is from City of Ash: http://elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/Burning+Spellweave+Set

Welp... looks like they might have broken the Vivec questline in the patch today, wonder if that is why the maintenance again tomorrow? Divine Intervention - Galom Daeus - When you get the control rod, it still says you need it, and when you then manage to get it to work to get the component, the quest never updates. Dropping the quest and restarting gives the same result. Thread exists in the bug report section of the official forums, with no response from dev.

Morglon posted:The daily poo poo has been a bit off too like needing to loot poo poo twice before it counted. On the 'hunt' dailies I have been having to search the area after killing the target until I find a 2nd corpse with a quest marker on it. Looting / examining that 2nd corpse will trigger the quest completion rather than the corpse of the one I actually killed. Pretty strange.

Since the Vivec line was broken I decided to start the original main quest-line, so went to see the 'benefactor'. That transition from the Morrowind to the original tutorial escaping cold harbor prison and rescuing the prophet is incredibly well done, I was expecting to just pick up the line after the prison. Going through the prison break with all my gear was a surprise! Pretty much a free skill point though, and now I should be able to blast through the first few chapters of the original main quest line pretty fast.

There's a few that are good as free-anytime wayshrines (like the apartment in Mournhold, Deshaan which is cheap and right next to writ boards, crafting stations, and short walk to Undaunted enclave) but if you don't want to play homemaker a lot of goons have open to public houses with all the other amenities you can take advantage of.

You can pay (maybe 15) for the any race/any alliance package, called the Adventurer's Package. stamina sorcerers is one of my favorite builds, pump out 25k single-target dps (this is a highend but not BiS geared sorc, plus BiS depends on what you're doing) and don't die to anything unless it one-shots you because you heal like a beast, but you will be pushing a lot of buttons. Magicka sorcerers are big dick damage dealers right now, but other (magicka) classes aren't too far behind (I think?), unsure how much button pushing you have to do, I'm sure it's still a lot to top charts. I have tried other classes as stamina builds and nothing compared to stamsorc.
