Dubious cameron throne and witchmother's potent brew are very popular buff foods. The recipes come from holiday events and can be hard (expensive) to get.

Finished drinks sell for a bit, stacks of the mats needed to make them sell pretty decently, like beetle scuttle, small game, bervez juice, etc.

cool i got the witchmothers brew and double bloody mara recipes for about 8-10k each. cameron throne is pretty drat expensive though ive seen it go for 60-100k. cameron throne seems great for leveling but once my stam guy was max level i end up getting a bigger buff from breton bubble and sqeak.

Yeah, the trick with the dubious throne is that it also gives stamina recovery. With Max stamina and stamina recovery on the same food, that makes it kind of special. Plus, as a drink, it works with a certain piratical set.

I think I just realized that ESO has the equipment system that I wish GW2 did.

ESO's sets remind me of GW2's runes, though they're significantly more impactful. Which is really cool. GW2 would be more interesting (in my opinion, at least) if it dropped the current boring stat system and leaned into the rune set thing to let players get more cool effects that add on to your skills.

And that's basically ESO's sets! And the fact that sets include weapons and jewelry, too, allows for some fun mixing and matching to get multiple full sets.

Basically I like this game's style, is what I'm saying.

Yeah that whole look is extremely my style. This game has very high fashion potential

Also, I just googled and is it true that the outfit system lets you show a piece as a different weight class than it actually is? Because if so that's the best cosmetic armor system around and extremely good.

Yes, also different weapons of the same class (1h dagger can be made to look like a 1h axe, 2h maul can be made to look like a 2h sword, etc).

It reminds me of the appearance gear system back in the EQ2 days since you could make your weapons look like other weapons. However, this is even better since your costume isn't limited by your actual armor weight and you can dye everything to your heart's content.

It also gives you an incentive to chase cheevos and try (repeatedly) activities you'd otherwise avoid, like Battlegrounds and AvA.

newer players may be under the assumption that the goal to fashion is to look like a total bad rear end and be attractive to your peers but that's not top tier

no what is is



getting fashion to the point where you look like the NPC that gave you a sidequest back when you were level 4

Having a surprisingly hard time deciding what to level first. I've been playing around with a Magblade and it's been fun, but I'm not super into the whole blood magic aesthetic. Though to be fair I'm not super into most classes' aesthetics all told (I like the ice and nature stuff in Warden but not really the pet stuff, for example) so I should probably just pick what's most fun.

I know I want to do something with Magicka first but beyond that I don't know poo poo :v:

I should probably stick with Magblade because I do like having that much ability to sustain myself in combat, and the nice tools for being sneaky.

DPS Nightblades are definitely the stealthiest, but pretty much all Magicka builds are self sustaining.

I'm @SWATJester by the way if I can get an invite. Just trying to figure things out. Apparently I've had an active subscription for the past however many years since I first tried this game and gave up in Cold Harbor and didn't realize it was still active, so I've got like 40,000 crowns. What should I get? I bought the two assistants because I figured they would always be useful, and the account-unlock stuff and dungeons. Is there anything in specific that I should avoid?

Also am I making any mistakes with these build choices for these characters:

Wood Elf Warden - Stamina Bow focused
Khajit Nightblade - stealth melee focused
Orc Dragonknight - Heavy Armor and 2H focused.
Nord Templar - Magicka focused

Get whatever crowns you have left and sell them for 250 gold a piece, a 2,500 crown item will net you 500k gold easy
