Wait, I thought that extra box before the hot bar (as seen in the Misty Forest screenshot above) indicated the second hot bar so you could just click on it to switch weapons - what is it for then?

I noticed it on Bubba's game, he is the only one to get a second hot bar so far; but haven't had a chance to try using it since getting it - wanted to practice switching between the healing staff and duel wield before he gets into a combat situation.

But on the PC game you don't get the second hot bar till level 15; do you get it at level 10 on the console? (if so, Grrrrr!!!!)


By the way, thank you so much for the great advice about doing the crafting writs, I had no idea how much gold they gave you for those writs! And the supplies - I actually got one temper that turns something legendary (just need 4 more now, lol).

But the Alts I have been using for inventory slot space have now begun performing crafting writs every day, and each character is raking in about 1000 gold daily from them. Everyone got backpack upgrades and the bank is over 100 slots already, lol. Thank you!

I got some screenshots when I played last, but my internet has been down a few days; I'll upload them once I catch up on all the posts I missed.

That's the healing potion hotkey. Still level 15 to get the second hot bar on consoles, don't worry

Yep, what hazmick said. The number 2 in the left box indicates she had two potions in the hotkeyed stack. The empty box on the far right means she has no Ultimate skill yet, since that’s where it will go when she has one. That bar is not usually visible. Maybe something was targeting her when I hit the screenshot button.

I think there’s an issue with my game and the crafting writs. Jerric got a bunch of them before he moved up a level, but Darnand and Lil each got only one before they started getting them with the next tier materials.

Here’s a shot from Darnand’s game: Captain who? Are you sure that’s how he spells it?

Whenever I see someone mention those Ultimate skills, I can think of is The Ultimate Warrior

I see Jerric got a promotion! Does that mean he has a ship too?

Nice! I’m imagining Lil’s reaction when she gets her first Ultimate skill and that theme song blares out for her.

I wish the ultimate skills gave us this much power, lol.







Jerric is going incognito? Lol.










Oh, how convenient! Oh, I will have to put some items in the Q and see if it works in my game, because so far I've not ever been able to access my potions in combat !!!

Thank you so much for the reply, I had no idea what that was for in Bubba's game, but since he had reached level 15 I assumed it was for the second hot bar - Thank you so much for the correction !!!!

mALX, bear in mind when you’re looking at screenshots that your PC interface could be different from my console interface, especially if you use a mod. For example I swap weapons with the same button that sheaths the equipped weapon, it’s just a short or long press. There’s nothing on the screen for me to click. You probably have two different keys for those functions.

Definitely try out your Quickslot! That’s the only way I know to use a potion during combat. Unfortunately I hit that button by accident pretty often while strolling around the countryside. In those cases the potion-used sound is quickly followed by me swearing out loud.

Added: Here’s Lildereth in Elden Root. She’s wearing the new dress that she made in her signature shades of green. Lil likes to get out of her trail gear when she’s in town, even when “in town” means in a tree.

And here are a few from Dragonknight Jerric:

Hairy Jerric looking deranged in Coldharbor

Swimming in Stros M’Kai

Getting no love from a pair of cute wood elves (When he approached them he thought they both were girls. Oops.)

Jerric ditched that GQ hair? I rather like this new look!

Grits, I saw your original post but, thanks to dear Rider, just now saw the screens you edited in. And, wow, I’m glad I saw them! Lil looks spectacular in her greens – both the outfit and in the jungleforest.

Love Jerric’s new look as well! He does indeed look more. . . Jerric with slightly less coiffed hair than his previous style.

Hee! Had the pair of woodsters been Lil and Buf, I expect Jerric’s reception would have been much more welcoming.

Aha! So you did post the hairy Jerric! I'll have to look at those tomorrow, I have run out of steam tonight! Just wanted to post this set of Bubba in Stros M'Kai :

I couldn't wait, had to peek, lol. HOLY COW! Jerric most def looks like he has a bit of the Barbaric Nord in him here! Nice tattoo!

I LOVE Lildereth's dress, that is awesome! And very Wood Elfy green!

I personally didn't do well with the Dragon Knight, but that was a female - Jerric looks like he could handle it much better, lol.

I played with a Dragon Knight guy the other day, and he was kicking some butt with his character! I shelved mine and turned her into an Alt to give me inventory slots, but since you taught me about crafting writs she has been earning her keep too.

Stos M'Kai looks so neat! Thanks for the shots mALX. I note how big and open all the spaces seem to be - perhaps that is to accommodate lots of players - regardless, it looks very neat. I love the dog and horses roaming around. And Bubba has himself a horse!

Lildereth is looking good as always, she seems even more determined.

Whoa, Jerric looks a real barbarian in that pic. It suits him, though. And I see that he bears some new tattoos. Are body tattoos available by default?

The swimming pic makes me long for sea and beaches, great shot.

Thank you for the kind remarks, folks! It’s a little unsettling when old friends get new looks, and your warm support means a lot. Both wooly Jerric and GQ Jerric are equally savage in combat, lol. I guess you can’t comb that out! There are many other Nords who look a lot like GQ Jerric in his Ebonheart Pact game, but I haven’t seen many tattooed hairy Nords wandering around among the elves with hairy Jerric in Auridon.

Lopov, the body tattoos are available in the basic game. GQ Jerric got some body scars, but they don’t really show up in the pictures.

I was surprised that Lil chose that hairstyle pulled back so severely from her face. I thought she would go for one of the softer, ‘pretty’ looks, but she went almost feral on me. I love it even more since it’s not quite how I imagined but somehow even closer to her.

mALX, those are fabulous pictures of Bubba in Stros M’Kai! The water looks so inviting. Is that Misa in Mistral? She looks great! I recognize the Khajiiti bard. Lil liked to hang out there, too. I forget his name, but it made me laugh. Eye-Candy or something.

Here’s a picture of Darnand looking around Wayrest. It is a big place. He can’t step far away from the wall without waking up at a wayshrine. Even the little mudcrabs are twice his level and then some.

Is the Khajiit ones from the Aldmeri? Oops, I didn't realize that - thought Bubba was just taking screenshots of some woman with big boobs!

Well, if it is the Aldmeri, then that must be Calia - my Imperial Nightblade that is playing the Aldmeri. She is the one that is running around pantless with that Sentinel bow this past month, and has been taking down Dark Anchors that way (including the no greaves so you can see her panties below the cuirass).

Several people took note of her attire (or lack thereof), and this past couple weeks I've noticed other females in the Aldmeri going around in just cuirasses and no greaves, so it seems she started a fad, lol.


Bubba must have just missed Darnand, he just left Wayrest the other day. Darnand looks just like I always imagined him!

Thanks Acadian & Grits! Here is Calia on an Aldmeri beach:

How pretty Calia is - I love her hair! And what a nice looking beach. Looks like she had a wonderful day! And no mudcrabs!

Wow, Calia is really pretty, and what a nice beach. Looks like she had a good time.

I love how the water looks, and how it splashed up by her feet in that one pic. I also noted that the Altmer were much better-looking in the 2nd Age!

Thank you all so much!





The water splashing surprised me, which is what spurred that photo shoot, lol.

Calia in the beach pictures is my (fairly new) Imperial girl; she is a Nightblade - I replaced Caria the Altmer Sorcerer with Calia because I was having a LOT of trouble playing the Sorcerer Class.


Caria the Altmer Sorcerer is still in my game; she has been working crafting writs and is the keeper of all the armor and weapon making supplies. Here is a screen of her. The angle of the shot hides her pointed ears, but she has them, lol:

Wow, Caria's gorgeous too! Again, I love her hair.
