They are daily objectives basically (with weekly versions coming). Collect x bear asses, kill x rats, do a dungeon, etc.

Oh, and when you complete one, you get ENDEAVOR COINS that you can use on cosmetic items instead of Crown Jewels. Seems like you can get 45 a day, so it will only take 240 days to get a reward!!!

I have an ESO Steam account. I'd like to sync the account to Xbox so I can play on Gamepass on my phone. Can it be done?

I guess I can try Steamlink.

ESO is just Skyrim in MMO. Just like TOR and KOTOR.
And I'm not saying that as a bad thing at all.

If you like the wandering around in Skyrim, ESO is your game. I enjoy just getting high and exploring a zone at times. Just as much as sitting around and playing Skyrim on my Switch.

Sometimes I unlock a new house or something after doing a questline, and it rules.

feel like ESO is a full bore Elder Scrolls game for Elsweyr on its own. it's pretty much a full Scrolls game for just the Black Marsh too

probably a Scrolls have for each of the faction's full OH silver/gold content too

poo poo there's an awful lot of content

It's Skyrim if they kept adding new areas. And I love it for it. Especially since I can use a controller easily.

Also Murkmire rules.

Also just random things but completing zones and some other quests allow you to buy a house in each zone for gold instead of crowns.

Also I think it's the Elswyr one where if you finish the main story you get a whole huge house for free. Maybe it was Summerset? I doesn't take very long at all.

Also there's apartments in some cities you can get for really cheap, check the inn in main towns.

I believe Zone Guides are only available if you have ESO+ though, it shows you where to start every zone quest, could be very wrong I've always had ESO+.

e: dunno who this guy is but could help since he shows new players how to max out on just the base game, no added money for like half of it:

If it's free then definitely use the zone guide. zoom out on your map, pick a zone, and it'll tell you where to start. It even zooms in. and this is for any part, if you're 4 of 7 zone quests in and were drunk and forgot what you did, the zone guide literally will, again zoom right in and show you where to go.

and that's any zone, but i'd recommend one at a time.

No, those are available always.

ESO+ gives: 1650 crowns, all DLC access, 10% quest gold and XP bonus, 10% research speed, craftbag, double bank space, house furnishings and transmutes, ability to dye costumes.

Nothing UI related is locked behind ESO+ and all content is equally available (as long as you've bought the relevant DLC).

Three main reasons to get ESO+ are a way to get crowns if you'd be buying them anyway, a way to access the content if you prefer a sub vs outright buying, and a way to get the craftbag and double bank space to save inventory juggling. I guess some people are really into housing and get it for the furnishing slots too.

The cost of the DLCs are very high, like 2000 crowns each.

e: Which I think is $20? and there's like 20 DLCs lol

Yeah I basically always use alcast but tweak it to suit whatever I want.

The game is so flexible there's really no need to min-max much. imo at least, but I mostly play solo and hit up pugs and some guild groups.

Is anyone here in a populated but casual guild?

I use a controller on PC cause I'm too old to keep hitting keys over and over. I got like 800 CPs but I don't know poo poo and I just jump around finishing zones, decorating my houses, and help people.

Send me a PM if so

I'm just randomly playing and a dolmen popped and literally, like 100 people zoned in and went for it. So this is probably the best time to play the game if you want easy leveling. Tons of people playing.

Also I'm bored, so I want to do the guild bank thing.

I don't want to waste my time making 9 other accounts for nothing, so any help there? Like how do I even start

Also there's food that helps you level, besides all the XP scrolls:



If you check https://alcasthq.com/ the builds will show the foods you want to buy.
But if you're only leveling, ignore the best there and just get anything, just definitely make sure you've eaten food.

Ok maybe I just hate warden. Ive been having a lot more fun on my stamblade and also started a necro and this class has totally rad animations. Wish I could pair 2h skills with the magicka skills because I like their animations better than the stam morphs but it is still very rad.

Necro probably has the best impact attacks, since that seems like what you're into.

Do the Mage Guild so you get Shooting Star and you can slam a giant star into the whole area, it's an ultimate tho.

Also I noticed using the new multithreading option definitely makes it run at like double the speed, but my CPU usage is up from 20ish% to 41%

I have an i9 9900k, so not too old but it's definitely running it hard. I think I'm going to turn it off, I don't need my PC dying right now when you can't get anything.

Actively using your CPU is not going to strain it in any remotely measurable fashion unless your çhassis airflow is completely terrible beyond words and your thermal paste is non existent.

Agreed if it was just ESO. But I have 2 monitors and I play videos and poo poo on the second. Big problem was buying a main 3440x1440x120 monitor, but too late now.

Unless using over 70% of my CPU all day while I play ESO and other stuff at the same time is okay.

I turned it off and still get 90ish FPS with only 20% CPU so I'm cool.

The only way that you can really gimp yourself until a respec is if you equally level both magicka and stamina stats, just pick one. There's stronger and weaker builds but it doesn't really matter until the gear cap or if you want to do harder content.

You'd think they'd try and change the way stats work, but no it's always max your magicka or stamina.
