Based on that article Jerric is heading back to Davon’s Watch to join the Fighters Guild before he kills any more undead on Bleakrock Isle. Also he needs more lockpicks. So far he has broken them all and not actually opened anything.

I had some fun with two other people taking on a pretty tough skeleton who was guarding a runestone. On first approach Jerric forgot he was wearing his “Hel-lo Ladies” shirt instead of his iron cuirass and learned the hard way what happens when you stay in the red cone and then don’t dodge big lightning attacks. The second time up the stairs a tiny archer was already getting her ass handed to her by the skeleton (floating health bars had mysteriously turned on), so Jerric got its attention and learned the range of his Sun Fire ability only to have a skinny Argonian still in his soul-shriven outfit charge past him and whack it with a giant hammer at the last second. That was hilarious. No one died and they all got their runestones.

Staves are a mystery to me. They don’t seem to need power or use up any magicka. Jerric has six or seven of them. He used a fire one and it seemed powerful, but he put it away because he likes to cast from his hands. Sigh. Maybe he’ll like a frost staff better.

So to the point of this topic, I think after all that there may be an advantage to the presence of other players.

Holding a weapon shouldn't effect (affect?) your casting at all, I have cast even with a two handed weapon like a bow or greatsword - it comes out of your hand underneath the hilt I think, or on the bow she drops the arrow and casts (I think).

I keep running out of lockpicks too, and I don't know how or where they are going. On several occasions Peregrine opened the chests for me and then stepped aside so I could take the loot.

The last dungeon you do on which you are evacuating the island - check every urn, every one available has lockpicks in it.

(and don't forget to get the SkyShard in that mine when you do that one; it is kind of out of your way, I almost forgot to get it).

Also, in people's houses, mouse over everything because not everything is stealing (like bookshelves with skill books in them, notes you should be reading, etc).

I have been having a LOT of trouble running out of space to carry anything, and there was no bank on that island. I wanted to go back to Davon's Watch and use the bank and buy a backpack so I could carry more items; and sort through the ones I had to remove all the cooking/crafting stuff from the bank - either use it or sell it to quit using up inventory space with it.

I found one recipe, but haven't cooked anything yet.






Oh, what are those red cone and circle things? I have seen them a lot in fights I was in, but didn't know what they were/what it meant.

Sorry, I meant that the staff is equipped instead of a weapon and the fire comes from the staff. Jerric prefers his Templar hand-cast abilities/spells where you keep your sword and shield equipped and the sunfire comes from his hands. He hasn’t tried to use a Destruction Staff ability/spell yet. I hope that works more like a hand-cast spell while you’re holding the staff.

Apparently lock picks come from general merchants and from looting the containers you find in houses. Jerric has been frustrated that he can’t find any lock picks or provisioning recipes, and provisioning recipes also apparently come from houses. It never crossed his mind to go rifle through people’s cupboards and dressers. *palms face*

There is a bank representative and a pack merchant in the market area of Bleakrock Village. They are both across from the alchemy and enchanting booths. Jerric’s first major purchase was a 10-slot pack from the pack seller.

Thank you for those tips! Jerric has only found one of the Bleakrock Skyshards and hasn’t explored either of those dungeons yet, so he will keep an eye out.

The red cones and circles on the ground are the areas of effect that an enemy is about to fill with your pain if you don’t move or possibly interrupt the attack. I’m not sure how interrupting works. Jerric’s new thing is dodging. He needs to dodge more.

I'm on there, too!

If you are using a destruction staff the magic fire/ice/shock comes out of the end of the wand by pushing the left mouse button, and the spell comes out your hand using the (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) hot keys - so you can press both at once and nail the enemy to the wall before they can do much damage to you.

I'll have to remember to tumble out of those red cones and circles; or at least hit my right mouse button to block the spell - I keep forgetting to do that; and I learned that blocking in Coldharbour, it is what kept me alive in there. Urk.

Not sure how blocking works on the console games, but those spells can be blocked by a Templar.







What is your character/Class/Race/etc? Are you on the Console or PC? WOOOOOO HOOOOO !!!!!!! So glad you are on here and playing ESO too !!!

I kept hearing cats meowing, and yesterday finally saw two cats in ESO! One was outside the door of a house in Daggerfall; all curled up against it like waiting to be let in!

The other was following a Player inside the bank in Davon's Watch. Their meows are so cute - especially if you are looking at them when they do it and see it happen!

They have a fox now too, I saw one waiting outside the smithy in Davon's Watch yesterday morning and Misa petted it!

The pet I've seen the most of is a black jaguar, they seem to be very popular.



Here is a list (and pictures of) some of the current vanity pets:

Also, someone at the Foundry did some testing with the Igneous perk on weapons:

Finally downloading ESO for PC via Torrent. I have the PS4 version at home, unopened and with no PS4 to use it . . . so I am in a need to go adventuring!

WOO HOO !!!!!

I hope it works. From the comment section, the Torrent works pretty well.

I don't know, I got my son's through the official Bethesda site, and mine through Steam because the official site had stopped selling the Imperial Edition, and Steam still had it.

I'm still watching this one, DE, so I hope you'll share your impressions with us as you begin to do some ESOing.

Right. It is at 26.3%. 4 hours left to download. Let's see.

I'd be great to see you jump in with us. I will share my impressions(if it works). I played ESO beta before but so much has changed since that time.

It took mine all day to download; and I've got the highest speed internet provider I can get without LAN. And my PC has 16 gig RAM; I thought it would download in no time!

Also, it takes more space than they say it will on your hard drive. When I bought the game they said to have at least 100 gig in reserve for it; and right now the patched game and DLC of ESO is taking up like 145 gig.

That’s great, DE! I look forward to hearing about your adventures.

Hmm. I think its because of the amount of seeders who are downloading it. It helps it go along.

But it is pretty big. Freaks me out.


I suppose one day we can adventure together and kick some Daedric butt whenever I get a PS4(most likely next year when I fly out of this rock).

Ugh, 9GB update. I guess we all get Orsinium on our machines whether we’re going to pay for it and play or not. I still haven’t re-allocated my stuff from the last update. *sigh* Well, now I have plenty of time to read the patch notes while my PS4 sits there humming.

l haven't played in a month, so it will probably take that long to update. But I did cancel my paid membership. Really have not been into the DLC they have come up with so far; and that is the only reason I paid for the membership in the first place - to test out all the DLC for free and decide whether it was worth buying or not.

I'm not interested in Orsinium; didn't care much for the IC one (though might go down there and nab the skyshards before it gets deleted; they said you do get to keep your rewards from there when you cancel your membership).
