Maybe this is a good idea to ask a dumb returning player question- I haven’t crafted anything in years and wanted to make some blue Julianos armor. I was using Dogulbon’s Lazy Set Crafter and had plenty enough mats to make the five pieces, but once I hit start it made two of them blue, one green, and two white. They had clearly been blue in the queue.

Any idea what happened?

E- I meant “a good time” but then the server came back so I was wrong anyway

Thieves guild is the only story dlc to not fall on a q2/q4 cycle (think it fell on a january or q1 some thing)`

the non-OG areas are definitely superior in every way

imo for real, skip the old world areas and do poo poo like Vvardenfall, Markarth, Elsweyr, Summerset.

Dailies in general feel like a boring grind to me, I’m starting to accept that having bad gear and being poor might be worth the freedom

Do any guilds still have much in the way of text chat? I’m still a little nostalgic for my old huge WoW guild’s constant friendly chat going by. I guess everyone uses Discord but I never got used to having discord running while playing.

I got the ESO free trial but the DLCs are still locked behind crowns. I thought DLC was supposed to be free?

Right now there's only the one, oakensoul ring.


You have to level up the scrying skill line (from greymoor chapter, then find 5 leads from doing specific content (admittedly this grind can suck) then you go out and look up each lead. Finding all 5 gives you the ring, you can make more for more characters after that for 25 transmute stones.

Its accessability lies in the fact that it removes one bar of abilities, but the trade off is you get a truckload of buffs that normally come from abilities, potions, etc. Permanently.

This ring, combined with a couple of sets that come from easy easy dungeons is the basis of the Heavy Attack build thats super popular right now. By holding down attack you do about 80% (75-80k dps vs the 100k most dps can do) of the damage a sweaty endgame dps can put out.

Its good for mobility issues because what rotation you do have is like 2-3 skills instead of 10, you hold down attack instead of weaving light attacks, and no barswapping.

Its not brain dead, you still have to learn and do mechs, but its opened up vet dungeons and dlc trials to people who straight up could not do them before, which is fuckin rad imo.

Yeah, each of the 5 leads comes from doing a specific thing (you can google what to do/where to find each lead) and some leads can legit be a big pain in the rear end to get. Worth it though, imo.

As for the build, it works the best on sorceror, but you can absolutely pull good, but lower, dps with any class. The build is p much the gear basically, so once you have the gear you can swap it between your dudes, or build multiple copies.

Another reason I like it is that I can free up skill slots and easily level new skills/skill lines without worrying about doing lovely dps.

I levelled all the tank skills I needed on my necro healer last week, so now I can use my other armory slot to tank (once I build my gear for it ofc).

I know it's still pretty early but is there a general consensus on the expac yet? Kind of tempted to jump in but I only play ultra casually so really only story content would be what I'm touching.

That is loving genius.

Anyway, I went and joined the Champion Point enabled campaigns and they were much better. Lot of dynamic back and forth with keep/resource taking which makes half of the dailies easy enough to accomplish in an hour or so. Just fire off some artillery or wave my laser around an embattled enemy group and BAM: 20+ kills.

The scouting and capture one specific resource/keep ones remain a pain in the rear end due to consistently targeting points in the heart of enemy territory, while the elder scroll one is just completely luck based.

You should probably avoid the hallway outside the thieves guild entrance in Necrom. Hundreds of urns, all marked as stealable, no guards to see you stealing, and access to the thieves guild is right there.

On the other hand, if you're looking to max out legerdemain quickly, it's great.

Offkorn posted:

Yeah, it's fantastic. I suggest doing it with Azandar active so that you also get a ton of Research Folders.

In other news, finally sold the epic companion chestpiece I got from a dolmen for 1mil, about a 50% markdown from what I could theoretically get if I had a guild trader... but we work with what we've got. Really hate trying to sell these high price yet low demand items.

After a good 6 hours of grinding, I got the Ring of Pale Order, I don't think I want to go through that again. I had to get up to gold level scrying and that put me at a disadvantage for excavating, it was brutal. And then it was the fun of competing for drops with a couple of bosses, is there some bug with the Direnni Coldrock boss, there's TWO of them?! Anyway that took 15 times as did several of the excavations. And then I promptly got thwacked by the first boss I tried it with

Is there any other mythic gear to recommend? Might be just better to get on with crafting better gear. I should get a bloodthirsty ring at least. They go on about pillar of nirn gear but that's a lot of grinding of dungeons.
