Simone Poodoin posted:you can also buy lower level mats for cheap from guild traders I find that this works best for only the absolute level 1 or absolute highest lvl mats. Everyone shoots through the mid levels so fast that those mats are legit rare and often get priced that way. When I level crafting on alts I just leave their skills at level 1 until I have enough skillpoints to just max the fucker in one go. Often they'll be at 50 in the skill awhile before I max it out.

Millet comes in special sacks like flour and saltrice do so keep an eye out for those, also maybe you can search which guild trader has some if you're on pc https://us.tamrieltradecentre.com/pc/Trade/SearchResult?IconName=crafting_components_bread_004.png&ItemID=4643

I have tons of millet because I love 2 steal. Hell, I'm stealing right now!  speaking of stealing and the market  if you are a fan of thievery, you've seen these a hundred times and ignored them, but you can sell them for $1000 each on the market haha Pontificating Ass fucked around with this message at 08:54 on Sep 3, 2023 |

FURTHERMORE, I'm not sure how well-known this is, but you can buy all these sets on the market for a nominal price and reduce your stealth radius to about 2 feet.

Yeah I'm not in a guild right now. But it's ok I happened to be in Elden Root and there's a millet sack by one of the chefs there on the ground floor, nicked it under their nose, laundered it and finished the writ. At least that Dolgubon's Lazy Writ Creator addon didn't get in the way  but I'm glad i got it, definitely a time-saver.

correct, you dont, but if you want to level legerdemain then laundering stuff helps with that (go to necrom and steal from urns if you want to power level that though

Or whenever you unlock the ability to do legendary ones, then do those.

Silver lining: you will get a good bit of gold from selling everything you find that's not bound.

I understand now why my main hasn't accumulated the material they needed for their writ, and why I haven't seen it on the alts. Not only did I not realize that it's a higher level mat I boosted my main's crafting skill too soon, before I had a chance to build up a cache of the right stuff, while at the same time not keeping up the skill on the alts. Getting the character level and crafting skill levels closer to one another will increase the chance that as all the characters level they'll keep finding the right type of mats for the main to work with. So for now I'm going to work on my two alts and make sure that instead of banking stuff to deconstruct they use those items to keep their crafting skills increasing along with their character level.

I've picked up a couple of those leads but didn't know if I'm supposed to put everything on hold and go find the place that grants you the skill to use them.

I did that because leads are something you can do while you quest (do the zone green lead 3 times, blue lead 3 times and purple lead at least one time) and you level up the skill as you go along and make some gold in the process. Getting the skill lines is super easy just go to Solitude and do a short tutorial quest.

Then run up the hill past the stables and into the city. The antiquities trainer is in the building next to what will become Skyrim player housing, if that helps at all.

That'll work for the alts yes but it depends what you're going for and what you know you don't already need. Deconstruction is really useful for enchanting levels and pretty much mandatory to get anywhere with jewellery which is very slow to level.

I can see now that it's going to take several days of my game time just scrying this green skooma pipe to get to the point where I might be able to scry for purples. But better now than when my main is even higher level, particularly because I didn't realize that leads expire. I might not be able to get to most of them before I do, but eventually I should be able to keep up. And it gives me a good reason to do some long-range traveling and harvesting, to get away from questing a while. But I have... another question! I finally collected the beech I needed to finish an old writ but found that I still couldn't complete it. It was as if I didn't have any beech despite having collected a lot. Then I took a look at the Refine tab and saw that I had a bunch of plain beech, but needed sanded beech. Somehow I've gotten all this way without doing any refining. So I refined some of my beech and it became sanded beech and I finally finished the writ. Not sure if that was the wrong thing to do but I didn't see any other way to get the prepared material I needed, and don't know how I've been able to do so many writs without this process. I open pretty much every container I see so perhaps I randomly have been finding enough prepared material.

That's why it was recommended to get to Arteum, since the zone is tiny and only takes a minute to traverse. You have to do the Summerset storyline a little to unlock it though. You could also use any of the faction 'starting' islands since those are quite a bit smaller than a full zone (but still much bigger than Arteum).

I'd read about that smaller area but I'm ok traipsing around Kenarthi's Roost. They must have had a lot of skooma smokers there based on how many pipes I've unearthed. By the weekend I should be able to move up to grabbing the blue items which should help speed my way to purples. By running everywhere I'm spotting loads of materials including new higher level stuff so by the time I feel caught up I should have plenty banked for my writs. And thank you for clarifying the use of refining. I know that my crafting behavior is far from optimal but I should be able to at least keep up with writs.

Another tip: of all the scrying abilities, the one that converts a star-shaped area I find to be the best. It’s such a huge area that just doing two of them will get you almost all the nodes 9 times out of 10.

Yeah once you get a hang of the abilities the minigame will become… not a cakewalk, but pretty hard to not get all 6 nodes (and still fun) Usually my strategy is to use the snowflake to get a huge mass in the middle, work out towards the edge with the normal tool, and then the line tool can get any nodes im close to but don’t have a direct pattern with.

The snowflake is the best tool for sure, with the added magicka charges you can get with skills it becomes trivial. Excavation can always be challenging though for the higher difficulties.

I'm just getting back into eso after about 2.5 years off. I started up because one friend also reinstalled and another just got it for the first time. today, doing the undaunted FG pledge, the two people I queued with didn't get the memo to jump down the waterfall. the random (our tank) and myself didn't feel like waiting and took the boss before the other two fought their way across the platforms. dont ever change, eso.

The dungeon finder is a nice feature, you can queue for quick dungeons with decent rewards and xp. I've run so many random dungeons I have a lot of sets collected upto the point of the weapons, which makes it easy to run them for jewelry + weapon set pieces which can complete a set's effect disregarding the armor type.

Yeah I have done a lot too, even vet runs, and have rarely found a useless or toxic group (and a few times I have been the weak point lol). Make sure you know the boss mechanics before queueing for vet, it’s really important for dlc dungeons. I use the specific dungeon queue even if it takes longer because it feels bad to me to burden the team because I don’t know what to do.
