I, too, just got into this game. @PeacefulAnarchy13 I've read there are people willing to trade stuff on the crown store for in game gold, how hard is it to find someone to do that? I don't have enough gold yet, but I'd eventually like to buy the DLC that way.

Why do people in guild stores sell things for higher than you can buy in unlimited quantities from the game itself. The basic styles are all 15g from the merchants right at the crafting stations, who's buying them for more than that from a guild store?

Can you traverse the whole land by foot, or do you have to use wayshrines You can use caravans/ships to go from zone to zone and walk each zone by foot, I don't think you can pass from one zone to another by foot I can only go to Cyrodiil at level 10, I hear. Confirm/deny. Yes, you get an in game mail telling you this when you level up Is the landscape scaled down or something? It's been a long time since I played Morrowind but I don't think it took under a minute to walk from Seyda Neen to Vivec City Yes. Alternatively Tamriel grows physically over the years so everything has spread apart between ESO time and Morrowind/Skyrim time. I haven't played enough to know how all the quests are.

You can go out adventuring with nothing in your pack if you fancy. Maybe some soul gems and a couple of potions (I haven't used consumables much just playing the normal quests) and the character bound level reward potions and scrolls, maybe an alternate weapon or two at most. If you go the hoarder route instead of the minimalist throw/sell everything route I find this addon to be helpful in reminding me which alt has what. is Peaceful Anarchy fucked around with this message at 23:22 on Apr 19, 2020 |

So the storage box is like a bank but in your home? Is it shared by your characters? Is this page accurate? https://lovelynorth.com/home-storage/ "Writ Vouchers, Tel Var Stones, or Crowns" means fully leveled character or real money, I guess.

The bag is ridiculously useful for changing the flow of the game, and also incredibly frustrating knowing a UI shortcut is locked behind $15 a month. All the other ESO+ stuff is cool but also doesn't feel unfair not having.

Stolen loot stuff is just stolen loot, it's account bound and serves no purpose other than to be sold to the fence (and used for a couple of thieve's guild quests, but don't use the expensive stuff for that). Recipies, yeah some of them can be worth laundering and selling to real people. Weapons/armor, I've never gotten anything that would seem like someone would buy from stealing.

Most of my addons haven't updated, and even some that have don't work because of unupdated libraries. It's working fine for me without the addons (I don't have allow outdated addons checked), though it's making me realize how much I relied on some of those addons.

I'm trying to figure out all the various DLCs for this game because the store mixes things that are earnable in game with those that aren't and things that are cosmetic with things that are functional. Content (ESO+ gives access to these): Chapters (Morrowind, Summerset, Elsweyr) Zones (Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood, Orsinium,Murkmire, Clockwork City, Dragonhold) Dungeons (Dragon Bones, Harrowstorm, Horns of the Reach, Scalebreaker, Shadows of the Hist, Wolfhunter, Wrathstone) Character options Classes (Warden, Necromancer) Digital Imperial Edition Upgrade (Imperial Class plus cosmetics) Permanent Additional conveniences: Bristleneck War Boar (Pet that adds 5 inventory slots per character) Additional Character Slots (up to 9? additional slots each one bought individually) Any Race, Any Alliance Bundle (allows creation of a character without alliance/race limitations) Cat/Human Banker/Merchant (lets you use bank/merchant anywhere) ------------- One time use crown only conveniences: Change Tokens (Race/Name/Appearance/Alliance) Pay Bank/Bag Space Upgrades Respec Scrolls Outfit Change Token Crafting motifs (all these can be found randomly in game or bought from guild stores?) Storage Chests/Coffers (bought Crowns/writ vouchers/Tel Var Stones not actually gold) Pay Skyshards and skill lines earned on one character can be bought for others. Research Scrolls Riding Lessons XP scrolls Random Garbage: Potions/Poisons/Repair Kits/Soul Gems (LOL) I think everything else is cosmetics (Horses, Houses, Pets, Costumes, Furnishings) Am I missing anything? The Storage Chests and Bristleneck War Boar are easy to miss so I don't know if there's anything else in the sea of presumable cosmetics that adds utility like those.

Speaking of traits and research, Invigorating is obviously the worst trait, right? A whole 3 pts of Mag/Stam/Health regen is beyond useless and even on Legendary equipment it's all of 11. It feels like its only purpose is as a trap for beginners who just research whatever they find and then have to spend longer researching the other traits.

The biggest time sink with doing writs is the login screen. I've got precrafted potions and food and the other stuff is easy to craft, and even without eso+ dumping the mats into the bank is not too time consuming (except the provisioning ingredients why are there so many of them), but the time spent logging out and logging in comes close to the time actually spent in game.

GarudaPrime posted:is there an optimal way to research traits, I got the perk that lets me do three at a time. Should I just be focusing on ten items at once and getting as many traits on those pieces, or should I be spreading it out? My understanding is that New Moon Acolyte which requires all 9 traits is one of the best so if you're going that route you'll want everything eventually. That said, there are a number of good 6 trait sets, so once you get to 6 it might be worth it to reserve one slot to cycling up some other stuff. In the time it takes to take one item from 6 to 7 you can get an item from 0 to 6 (7 to 8 is 0 to 7 or two items 0 to 6). That's especially useful if you're going to do master writs. It might also be worthwhile getting most stuff up to 3 before you start pushing out since the short timers can be more of a pain to manage (and it also clears ever important inventory space). I didn't plan my research out very well, but if I had to do it again that's what I'd do, (get everything to 3, then push three of them to 6, then use 2 slots to push stuff up to 8/9 while cycling in the others up to 6) I'd also tell myself invigorating is garbage and don't research it if there's anything else at all to research instead. For jewelry you should absolutely alternate necklace and ring, though, since they're separate and you can only do one at a time.

Got randomed into White Gold Tower and that is the longest most complex dungeon I've done so far. There was clearly one person in the group who knew what they were doing and at least two of us doing it for the first time.

I'm definitely not there yet, I was clearly the worst in the group (being CP145 stretching outleveled unenchanted training gear to get to 160 did not help), but it changed dungeons from "thing to do to get XP and a skill point" to "thing I'd be interested in doing for their own sake."

Innocuous posted:So with this Imperial City event, I'm relatively new to the whole thing and don't really know where or how to dive in. I want to farm as much gold out of this as possible. Anyone have suggestions over the best way to turn Tel Var stones into cold hard cash? What should I convert them into? And what activities within the whole IC/Sewers clusterfuck should I focus on? I go in with no telvar, do the daily quests and when I die I go turn it in and get the reward telvar, which is about 1000 in the event and more than I could hope to make killing things. I deposit it and go for the next daily. It's absolutely not efficient at all though, all sorts of overland stuff will get me much more gold in the same time with a lot less frustration.

Innocuous posted:I'm probably going to run Nightblade so I can hopefully dip out on some of the ganks, I'm way less competent at pvp on my Templar main and it was pretty rough earlier. Thanks for the advice. Any overland gold farming suggestions? Mat farming: If you can find a good time and place to gather mats and have a trader to sell at it can be very efficient, like 50K per hour. But you have to find the place and go through a the rotation and hope you're not competing with other farmers. It's also better once you get to level 50 as those mats are in better demand. Stealing: If you find a building with low pop and no guards it's a good way to make money that is very consistent even if it's not the most efficient. You put one point in the fencing skill and you can sell 110 items a day which is 4-10K in 40min to an hour, plus some recipes and motifs and decorative wax that you can launder and sell. I think the item quality gets better the higher your thieving skill, so it'll be closer to 4K at the start and closer to 10K when maxed out. People recommend the docks, and that works, but I found the castle outside Elden Root to be the quickest as long as you don't start the quest that begins populating it. No guards, 6 npcs all spread out easily either ignorable or killable with the blade of woe, and a really compact rotation. Loot is instanced, so this one is essentially solo play and you don't compete with other players. The only issue with this one is that you have to log out and log in at the end of the loop to reset things. I think there are bigger loops out there that are probably more time efficient, but I'm very much a stick to what you know kind of guy. If you have the thieves guild DLC then the thieves guild repeatable bulletin board has a quest that starts with "Esteemed thieves" where you deliver three laundered items of a type, then you get 10 as a reward plus some gold and a chance at a motif. Once you build up a stable of the laundered items you need you can quickly do this quest infinitely. Take quest, teleport to delivery city, deliver, teleport to Hew's bane, deliver, repeat. Quest gold is leveled, so this one is better once you're at least level 25. You can make about 12K per hour plus whatever luck you get with the motifs. All of the above is grindy, so you tastes may vary. I used stealing when I was low level since it was safe and consistent. I find mat farming to be kinda tedious so I've only done it a few times, and more for the mats than for the gold. The thieves guild one is good because the quest also gives you good XP, so it's a pretty effective way of leveling too, you get to spend a lot of time on loading screens, though (which may be a plus if you want to multitask). The best way to make gold is definitely the daily writs though. You can only do the set once a day per character, but they go pretty quick with lazy writ crafter and with 9+ characters you get a good chunk of gold with minimal time investment. At this point I don't really bother to grind for gold, the daily writs are enough for me to keep gaining. There are also places to grind XP and loot by killing things that net similar rewards and are maybe a bit more fun if you like combat. The place I go is just outside Riften, sometimes there's too many people and it's just a pain, but if there's no one there and you can handle the mobs it can be quick. If there are only a couple of people most of the time they'll group with you and the rotation can go even faster. If you google places to farm XP you'll find some others but this was the first one I went to that I could handle so I didn't bother looking at others. I can group with you and do this one with you if you want. There are other ways to get gold, but I think most of them involve actually being good at the game and being CP160 and farming weapons to sell.

I don't think they have one. I'd imagine not much will change other than maybe tweaking how crates work if that's something they care about. My sense with all these gaming acquisitions is that they have a ton of cash reserves and instead of using it to bet on some risky venture that could hit big they're happier taking established companies, mostly letting them do their own thing as they have and building a portfolio of games that they can leverage in the future if things like game streaming or gamepasses become a thing, and they can throw some exclusives in the Xbox pile if needed. The upside isn't as big as the risks Google and facebook take with their acquisitions, but the downside of an established profitable company is pretty minimal.

Mose Velsor posted:So be me: Played Skyrim when it came out for some months, would ESO be anything for me to try out? and is it a major investment to be able to play the game? A lot of the game doesn't need either (well you need time for the content, but you don't need to grind anything). You could make a character, increase the bank and inventory size to something half reasonable rather quickly, make some alts as mules if you must, and play the questing and leveling game at your own pace. The problem is that there are all these systems (housing, crafting, PvP, dungeons and trials, guilds, etc) that you'll come in contact with and if you get sucked in then you're on the MMO treadmill where you do need a bunch of gold for them which means either grinding and/or buying things (there's no pay to win, but there are some pay for convenience things and a lot of cosmetics if that's your thing). The MMO part also means some things, notably inventory management, are more annoying than they ought to be. If you can just play casually then the game supports that fine, if you're the type to get sucked into grinding or collecting or house decorating then be cautious.

For me the game has definitely sucked out my time, but I've not paid a cent, if you're not one for the cosmetics then you're safe on the money side (except maybe the subscription which saves the inventory management issues, but you can definitely play without it). There are free trials every few months so if I were you I'd give it a shot then.

a pale ghost posted:Thank you both for your replies. I did slot vigor, and I morphed it into the stronger solo heal based on a guide's advice. Crafting the armor is based on what you've researched, so while theoretically a level 17 character could it would only happen if you log into a character to research traits and do nothing else with that character. Edit: I misread the question. Armor can be crafted at a bunch of different levels. Every type of armor can be crafted, and hence worn, at any level. The only issue with being low level is that you'll outgrow the armor. So at level 17 the armor I craft will be just as effective for you as the max level armor would be on a max level character, but the further away you get from the armor's crafted level the less effective it becomes.

a pale ghost posted:So I was building my stamcro to be a PvP character, but I'm contributing jack poo poo in BGs so far and I'm getting really disoriented with how fast it is. I'm considering that PvE might be more for me. The guides online have the builds for each as being very distinct, is there a way to effectively do both or am I pigeonholed? PvE has the advantage of predictability. You're not going to get ganked by a hidden nightblade in PvE. You're not going to get critical hit by an equal in PvE. Even the big bosses that can one hit kill you in PvE you can prepare for in a way you can't in a PvP battleground. Also PvE enemies can be kited or tanked or run away from in ways that you can't in PvP. One thing I'll say about battlgrounds is that Deathmatch loving sucks if you're not good, like me, but in the other ones you can still contribute if you try to avoid the big brawls and try to accomplish whatever needs doing like capturing a flag or stealing a relic. Also in non-deathmatch, even if you die, just defending a flag or relic for a few more seconds or distracting an enemy and forcing them to deal with you instead of doing something else can be quite useful.

In PC-NA I've had two bad group finder experiences out of like 50, and they weren't really about toxicity and more just one person queued up as tank or healer being awful at their role and not actually a good dps to make up for it and the rest of us also not being good enough to overcome that. Everyone's just there to get it done and mostly understands the random lottery that it is. Doing the story with group finder can be a bit annoying, though, and I can't imagine how long it would take if you queue up for a specific dungeon instead of random. Might be quicker if there's two of you and one is tank or healer.
