Nobody is ever in Mumble on pc, so I'm always lonely. My problem still sounds way better than having to suffer though (proximity?) pubbies chatting.

Is it proximity, or full zone, or, how does it work? I'm curious.

I think that is legit cool, like, even in a "if characters are within so many yards then transmit" sort of way. Like, an fps where team chat is default, but you could hear enemy transmissions if physically close enough to "overhear" is an awesome idea.

I'm mixed, in that I can't play Skyrim in third person, and I can't play eso in first. Except when precision looting. That's a job for first person.

Likewise, having at least one piece of each type of armor helps level those skills from just...doing stuff.

Sadly this works in mmo rules. Like, technically you could level from doing repeatable crafting writs, but all your actual xp comes from killing and questing, exploring, etc.

However, crafting is indeed amazing in this game, and it behooves characters to get good at it. Especially the minor ones, cooking and potioning.

E: actually, I forget, do we gain xp from crafting and salvaging, if only a bit?

So, I made my first alt, a DK dps character, and holy moley it is different from my tank. I just hit level fifteen, and unlocking the weapon swap means I can be training even more skills. Absolutely loving charging in and unleashing fiery hell.

Is it worth it making set Gear on my main to send to my alt? Even something cheap and easy like Seducers would be great, but I doubt it is worth the repair bills.

I found https://www.deltiasgaming.com has some really good guides for learning about the basic mechanics of a lot of the game. They have an awesome champion point calculator as well.

I'm leveling my dps DK using this guy's build and it is a monster. Guy really goes in depth with a lot of pvp stuff too if you're into that.

Okay so I spent a little time researching and stuff like that, redid my character and went with a Dragonknight/Dark Elf instead. The fire chain thing is really cool so I'm having fun.

I'll try to craft some stuff for you.

I don't PvP, so I haven't decided if I'm buying the expansion yet. Let us all know how it goes this week (mgsv is gonna cut this week out) and if you feel the non-pvp parts are worth it.

What is the Fungal Grotto grind?

It is a dungeon that, if one is careful enough, can be easily done with only two people. But the actually grind, in addition to the xp rewards, is an incredible amount of leather scraps from the amount of little baby crabs you kill. Said leather grants upgrade materials upon refining them, it is currently the absolute best place to farm for said leather upgrade materials.

Actually, I think it has always been that way, they've just had unclear tool tips. "Full" set has meant five pieces for light and heavy, but, admittedly, I never tested it with medium.

Now all of you can stop worrying about stacking shields and focus on what's really important:

Killing a man in one punch. That's the real secret to PvP, dealing fifty eight thousand damage in one hit.

My brother is playing this and wants me to try as well. Is there anywhere to get this for less than 60 bucks, or should I wait for a Steam sale or something?

Keep an eye on green man gaming as well, they had a crazy "one day only" sale for fifteen bucks a couple months back.

Not exactly hidden, just not intuitive. At your bank, I think you click on Guild Store, as opposed to Guild Bank, and one of the things available to buy is the tabard.

It's the same way you can sell items you find to the guild mates as well.

All dungeons scale to you. All "group" dungeons need 4 people. At 45, you can start going "Silver" daily quest runs for Undaunted rep, but you still need a full group.
