Please, please don't let me end up in a threesome with the lunch lady and a gay pirate. That would hit a little too close to home.

I'm amused they were so lazy that they based the Indrik on a specific Pokemon even.

Both the Indrik and the Sawsbuck are based off a real life deer that decorates it's horns with foliage.

:wrong: :coffeepal:
Im holding out for the mega hybrid indrik that requires fusing four different evolved indrik, each one requiring the four berries to create a base indrik and then another four evolution berries.

started my first magicka character and decided on a high elf petsorc. at level 15 and my usual attack is heavy>light>crystal shards>light>endless fury. any other skills i should pick up as that combo is absolutely wrecking the poo poo out of 90% of enemies i run into.

Daedric Curse, once you get it to morph, pick Daedric Prey as it increases the damage your pets do to the cursed target.

Isn't the Indrik based more off a Kirin? Slender magical horse-deer-thing with a scaled hide. Usually they are depicted with one horn that curves backwards in a crescent shape, but giving them 1 gnarled deer-like antler or even 2 real deer antlers isn't unheard of.

Well, it's very much not based on a drat pokemon, but the foliage changing antler stuffs leans me towards the Père David's deer

Could even be all of the above. v:shobon:v It's clear they did their own thing regardless, with the four ears and the ...webbing draped down the back of its neck. Really cool mount regardless!

i think theyre used alot in pvp. hitting someone with a poison that knocks out stamina/magicka can leave them almost completely defenseless

Certain poisons are bis in pvp. Also, right now poisons are bis on stam for the most part. They were also necessary before summerset.

Like many sets, items in this game - patches will change what becomes bis (and I don't think it's entirely by design btw, the design team is terribad).

Are you too depressed to finish biting through that piece of toast?
I've only been playing for a month so I'm still relatively new; is there any particular DLC that's a "must have" whether in terms of fun or gameplay advantage? I don't want to sub, but I'm not opposed to throwing down crowns for a couple things like the Thieves Guild or whatever.

Mr Newsman

Did somebody say news?
Subbing gives you a comparable amount (more even I think) than straight up buying them. If you're going to purchase crowns outright, it makes more sense to sub for the same dollar amount.

If you're buying crowns with gold then you can disregard, but wanted to make sure you knew.


No comment on the DLC to unlock though - sorry!

Just started playing again after a few years of absence, and every time I log out and back in the game re-equips old items I have already replaced and sold to a vendor, or lowers all of my durability on some items to 0. Any idea what's going on there?

Got any outdated equipment addons changing sets for you? The durability thing is really weird though, no idea how that's possible.

The Demogorgon is tired of your silly human bickering!

I just got the basic indrik mount last week since I started on event tickets with the Morrowind event. Am I right that there's no point to buying any berries since this round will disappear and a new set will start up next event? I can only get ~26 tickets before the event ends so I'll have to burn 14+ on some cosmetics, or get more feathers for a second base indrik.

All of the zone DLCs are pretty fun, there's a bundle of the first four DLCs (Orsinium, TG, DB, IC) that goes for 5.5k crowns. Imperial City is a PvP area with a PvE questline, but even if that's not your thing the other three are solid in terms of story/size/item sets, so that's a good place to start. Morrowind and CWC really scratch my tes3 nostalgia itch but are awesome in their own right, and I thought Murkmire was enjoyable but I don't know if I would've grabbed it if they hadn't given it away.

And like Mr Newsman said, if you're using real money to buy crowns then subbing for a month or two is a good value, for ~$15/mo you get 1650 crowns plus all the advantages of subbing like the craft bag and the occasional daedric statuette.

Edit: Sorry about posting bad advice in this space, seems like buying berries now would be a bad idea unless you've got enough spare crowns to straight buy whatever you don't earn during the event.

Time to let the dead be dead.
The official site says:

quote:

Please also note that this is your last chance to acquire all the berries required to make this specific evolution. Once this event ends, the Impresario will no longer stock these berries – don’t miss out!

That sounds really dumb but also suggests that you shouldn't bother buying the berries now if you don't have enough tickets to get all 4.

Bad sportsmanship. A ruthless minority of people seem to have forgotten good old-fashioned virtues. They just can't stand seeing the other fellow w
Yeah they've said from the beginning that the different berries will only be available during the quarter that they are introduced. There's no indication whether they will come back the next year in the same quarter or if there will be a never ending progression of unique indrik morphs.

Pivo

I’m going to have exactly 3 feathers and 9 tickets when this event ends. Are the events typically really close together (like is there almost always an event on) or am I going to have to wait months to get that last ticket?

I’m not big on Fashion Scrolls but I feel like every MMO endgame player needs a non standard mount.

Synthwave Crusader
Feb 13, 2011

The anniversary event is coming up, I think even the same week as the end of JesterFest. After that though it might get spaced out. IMO the Indriks are pretty lame and I feel kinda ripped off for having spent so much time and effort for tickets but it's w/e.

Keep in mind you can also buy event tickets during JesterFest for 250 Crowns a piece, so if you really want to finish off with a mount there's that option as well.

Not for single player PvE, but I'd keep sword & shield on one bar to level the skill tree/skills you'll want to use in group dungeons. If you don't have your second skill bar yet (level 15), don't worry about it until then.
