discovering I could make real money from stolen items was the biggest curse, I'd completely derail my adventures because some town had a bunch of juicy looking npcs and few guards

thieves guild rules

I don't think DB gives quite as good rewards, but I didn't like stabbing random servants as much as robbing nobles so I didn't explore it as much

A night of ESO just isn't complete without stealing some recipes, just have to remember to ditch Bastion as he hates Provisioners apparently and doesn't appreciate my acquisition methods.

Companion Guild Commendations
Coming with the Zeal of Zenithar event, we are introducing a new consumable item that the Impresario will sell in perpetuity (whenever she’s around). By purchasing these commendations and using them while an active Companion is out, you immediately advance the Companion to the next skill rank of the associated guild (from among Fighters Guild, Mages Guild, and Undaunted). As new companions will be introduced over time, we will not disallow you from buying these even if all your current Companions are fully leveled but exercise care in over-purchasing!

New Indrik Vendor: Nenulaure
We're not done yet! In the event you never had a chance to finish any of your Indriks, or if the normal morphing collectible items don't suit your fancy, or if you're new and have a surplus of tickets, there is a new Indrik Vendor, Nenulaure, at the Belkarth festival grounds starting with this event. Here's how she works:

Any time the Impresario shows up in ESO, not just during Zeal of Zenithar, the Indrik Vendor will appear in Belkarth. She will offer a selection of past Indriks from previous years based on the season, with a cycling inventory as seasons change (lining up with event starts/ends when the seasonal change would happen in the middle of an event).
- She will always offer the Nascent Indrik feathers, which are now 5 Event Tickets each.
- She will have all four berries for each of the two seasonal Indriks on offer for that season, plus the two baby Indrik pets that match them, for 10 Event Tickets each.
- The Indriks will cycle by season and return in the following year if you missed them. The seasonal rotation (subject to change) is as follows:
Spring (start of year): Dawnwood and Spectral Indrik berries, plus Springtide and Haunting Indrik pets
Summer (middle of year): Luminous and Icebreath Indrik berries, plus Shimmering and Rimedusk pets
Autumn (after Zeal and before Witches Festival): Onyx and Mossheart Indriks, plus Ebon-Glow and Sapling pets
Winter (Witches Festival to end of year): Pure Snow and Crimson Indriks, plus Frost-Light and Rosethorn pets
All Indriks won't come back for New Life Festival like we do with the year's Morphing Collectibles or previous years' entire Indrik catalogue.

Zeal of Zenithar Event Testing
A brand-new event comes to ESO! Zeal of Zenithar honors the Tamrielic god of commerce and hard work, and during this blessed time of year you can earn extra rewards by engaging in those activities! There's a lot to this event, so let's get started.

To begin, you can pick up the introductory quest "The Unrefusable Offer" from Amminus Varo at the new Belkarth festival grounds (or get the free quest starter from the Crown Store). A helpful portal is at every Impresario tent to take you straight to the city if you don't know the way.
This quest helps onramp newer players into some of the activities highlighted by the event, providing tutorial refreshers where needed.
Once completed, you may then pick up the single daily quest associated with the event, "Honest Toil", and complete any single one of the activities listed for daily three Event Tickets and a gold-quality Zenithar's Sublime Parcel reward box.

You have a chance to earn additional purple-quality Zenithar's Delightful Parcels by completing the following activities:
A box from completing the introductory quest, both the first time and on subsequent years if you prefer to complete it again.
A guaranteed box for completing any Master Writ.
A guaranteed box for the first daily Crafting Writ, per account, that you complete each day (no pressure to do all of them a guarjillion times on all your alts)
A guaranteed box for defeating a world boss (skull and crossed swords icons on your map) or world events (dolmens, harrowstorms, geysers, dragons, etc.) while grouped with someone who is in at least one of your guilds.
A chance when conquering each round of a group-based arena challenge (such as Dragonstar or Blackrose Prison) while grouped with someone who is in at least one of your guilds. The final round's reward chest has a guaranteed parcel.
Or if you're not interested in hard work, Akatosh forbid, a small chance to steal parcels from hard-working Tamrielic citizens through pickpocketing, strongboxes, or thieves' troves.

Parcels have a chance to contain the following, with gold-quality ones having higher drop chances and more loot in general:
A tradeable outfit style page for the new High Rock Spellsword Armor.
Durable crafting materials, provisioning ingredients, alchemy reagents, runestones, or a motif style item.
Crafting boosters, with a very small chance of a gold-tier booster or a research time scroll.
Furnishing or provisioning recipes
Repair kits, siege repair kits, or a small chance for an Impresario Group Repair Kit.
Treasure Maps, Survey Reports, Imperial City vault keys, Companion gear, or a random currency pouch.
The random currency pouch can contain either gold or Tel Var stones; there is an extremely small chance that this is a jackpot amount that gives you 100,000 of the associated currency!
This jackpot is not modified by any Champion Point or other passives that affect currency gain.

Furthermore, during this event, the following global effects are in place:
Wayshrine travel costs are reduced by 75%. Happy traveling!
Repair costs on vendors are reduced by 50%.
Crafting Inspiration gain from all sources is increased by 100%.
Vendor prices across Tamriel are reduced by 10%.
These include:
Vendors that sell items for Gold, AP, or Tel Var stones, including the Golden Vendor.
Houses purchasable for Gold.
These do NOT include:
Bag or Bank Space upgrades
Currency vendors that do not sell things for Gold, AP, or Tel Var
Guild Traders, whether it be for reserving their services, collecting from sales, or anything else.
New rare social and combat wilderness encounters are peppered throughout Tamriel for you to find, related to Zeal of Zenithar.
The Impresario will offer all three Soulfire Dragon Illusion pet fragments, and all three fragments for the Aurelic Quasigriff to complete this season's morph. She will also carry bound versions of the High Rock Spellsword Armor style pages for 5 tickets each.

When I was last playing, Necromancer was going to be released soon in Elsweyr. I kind of want to try that now, but don't see "Elsweyr" on the store.

Serenade posted:

Good to know, thanks. Looks like "Collection: Blackwood" is the one I'm after. (Which is also on sale)

If it doesn't include Necromancer, that's a bummer but fine. Necromancer was the cherry on top but really the multiple entire expansions are the main selling point.

Anyone on the EU server sling @learnincurve a guild invite? I'm fairly likeable in MMOs, one working eye and one working hand means I try but you don't want me on anything but a scrub run.


I bought blackwood on the fancy new PC after basically spending 2020 playing eso on the xbox and oh wow, the graphics make this a different game. I hate everything about the mouse controls, but the pretty is worth it.

Any guilds going on in NA? I've got a house and like 7k crowns I'd be happy to use for like a crafting space in a city.

Peaceful Anarchy posted:

There's no SA EU guild.

Peaceful Anarchy posted:

If you're on PC sure, just post your @ name and I'll invite you. Not sure what you mean in terms of crafting space in a city? If you want to outfit your house with crafting tables you can buy all the crafting stations with gold from guild traders. Should cost around 500-700k gold total I think. If being in a city isn't important, a number of us have houses with all the crafting tables open to guild members.

How do people get the set crafting tables? And do they not count as furnishings because it seems like there's hundreds of those.

Peaceful Anarchy posted:

Invite sent. Sleek Creek is a nice house for that, yeah.

valuum posted:

They also very rarely give out crafting tables, cant remember the circumstances though. I think we have 2 of each so far, since forever?

So obviously I'm hoarding those instead of using them.

Peaceful Anarchy posted:

I've never bought crown crates before, but I liked a lot of the low tier rewards in the Storm Atro crates and got a decent gold:crown exchange rate, so I got 30.
Results:
16 blue
4 purple
2 gold
1 Apex
A bunch of duplicates plus the trash adding up to 184 crown gems.
Wanted 8 blues got them all, wanted 5 purple got 2, I like half the gold ones, luckily got some good ones even if not my favourites, Apex is a bonus.

If I look at the stuff I wanted and spend 120 gems on the three purples I wanted but didn't get, I spent 10k crowns to get 9900 crowns worth of things I wanted, plus a few random pets, a couple of cosmetics I won't use, an Apex mount, and 64 gems to use in the future.


This has been my ESO gambling experience: All in all worked out ok, but I don't think I'll be doing it again especially since most crates have more filler to my tastes. Also I would have been annoyed if my legendaries had been the pets or the hats. I also think my experience would have been more negative if I had spent actual money instead of in-game gold.

Doctor Zero posted:

What drives me crazy are the drat booby prizes in the Gold and Purple tiers. It's infuriating to get a gold card and then have it turn into a loving sweet roll. Wouldn't be that bad if the gems for it weren't a fraction of what a real item costs.

did they buff the poo poo out of players?

this game was pretty piss easy last time I played, but now enemies are just absolutely melting, forget rotation, I can barely get a few attacks off before they explode

Hmm..ok..ok..*gets to oakensoul ring*

Oh...LMAO..OK..That is not a nerf, that is a just don't bother farming it at all death sentence. The incompetence of the Dev balance in this game continues to shine. I personally saw no use for it as I rather like having both bars in solo arena as well as higher end DPS situations, but honestly gently caress it, I think they should have released it as is, and brought some easier DPS to the masses and those who just prefer 1 bar builds due to what ever potential physical restrictions they may have.

Just amazing...
