QUOTE(hazmick @ Jan 3 2017, 06:13 AM)  Most class abilities do use magicka (some can be morphed into stam abilities), which is designed to balance them out against powerful weapon skills (bows and melee weapons all use stam).
If you focus on stam and health, you'll find that you'll be running out of magicka a lot at higher levels if you have lots of class abilities slotted. Then again, focusing on magicka will make your class abilities stronger but your non-staff weapons will be weaker. It's up to you how you play, but I'd recommend just experimenting until you're happy.
Haa-Rei, for example, is a stamina-based sorcerer (all attributes in stamina). He uses bow skills (stam) in combat and uses armour skills (stam) and stamina morphs of some spells as buffs. He does use a couple of magicka skills, but they're not combat skills so I don't cast them often, and he could survive without them if his magicka ran out.
This was helpful. Thanks Haz!

QUOTE(TheCheshireKhajiit @ Jan 2 2017, 10:23 PM)  QUOTE(mALX @ Jan 2 2017, 09:08 PM)  Each one tells you if it is stamina based or magicka based; it is written in the skill description along with how much of (whichever it is) the spell will cost you.
Hmmm, well looking at the UESP, the only class abilities that don't use magicka are the "Ultimates". Here - look at this page. In the column named "Cost," it shows how much it costs and whether it is Stamina, Magicka, or Ultimate. In the left column it has the names of the skills and each's morphs; so you can see which ones morph to Stamina, etc. http://elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/Dragonknight

Every guild store in the world seems to be full of skinchanger motifs going for less than 1000 gold.
Yeah we've got 5 or 6 rune-boxes between Mira and Feng. This one is thinking they might bring much gold a little later on. We may end up giving away the extra Skinchanger chapters and recipes

Did everyone get the Rune Boxes that they want? Jerric is holding on to an extra of each in case someone here missed one or in case someone joins after the festival and can't get them. He got mostly fur hoods in his gift boxes and swapped with other people to get an assortment. I was amazed. He is not much of a trader/shopper, but he was motivated by the thought of a future friend going hoodless, pouchless, or towel-less. He has a few motif chapters and recipes, send him a note if you're missing any. Funnily enough he and Elke are both short only the gold fish recipe from being named Magnanimous, while in the PS4 world he and Aninah both got everything plus two extra fish recipes.  Acadian, Jerric loves the party favors almost as much as drinking that ale that makes you belch. He would be delighted to have any that you were going to dump. They might sell for something in the guild stores, though, maybe someone has the add-on that lets you check prices. I haven't tried to sell any of those, because Jerric.

Khajiit is good on everything holiday related. Mira and Feng are both masters of the Skinchanger style, we've got a Towel and both hoods, with extras of all to boot. Mira is even able to cook all of the holiday dishes and brew the drinks if she so chooses. The only thing we didn't get was the title for doing all the achievements, but honestly we didn't care much about it.

QUOTE(TheCheshireKhajiit @ Jan 4 2017, 08:52 PM)  So how are you guys getting rid of your unwanted/unneeded holiday stuff? Will people pay more gold for these items now that the event is over?
People who want the achievement and only lack a certain motif or recipe are likely to still buy them just to get the achievement. (People like me, who bought the last recipe I needed) QUOTE(TheCheshireKhajiit @ Jan 4 2017, 10:22 PM)  QUOTE(hazmick @ Jan 4 2017, 09:10 PM)  I haven't got much unwanted stuff - Haa-Rei stopped doing those quests after we got the towel.

We may end up giving away the extra Skinchanger chapters and recipes Even if they sell for just 150 each, that still adds up when you have numerous ones to sell. I have a stack of the hats and mudball pouches just eating up slots in my inventory. I'd rather drop the price and get them out of there than hold onto them to get a higher price later on (or clog up my guild store shelves with them hoping to get a high price). With the Hollowjack stuff - I finally ended up selling it to Merchant NPC's rather than keep holding it and trying to sell it - the market was too flooded with the stuff. I'm still trying to unload those darn masks, they've sat 30 days on the shelves already, and I just pulled them off/dropped the price again. QUOTE(Acadian @ Jan 4 2017, 10:30 PM)  I have a moderate amount of 'party favors' and a few motifs and recipes. The only spare runebox I have is a towel.
If anyone is looking for anything I might have, let me know. Otherwise, I'll probably dump everything but the towel in a week or so. The towel is free to a good home - I don't really want destroy it or sell it to an NPC vender like the other junk.
I just finally got another Towel dress the last day of the New Life (January 3) and gave it and a hat away to a lady I've been playing with for two years - she had surgery just before New Life started and missed out on getting any of the New Life fun. A guy I play with paid 30,000 twice for that Fish-Eye recipe! (not from me, I only got 4 of them and kept them all). By the end of the festival, Misa, Calia, Mia, and Bubba all got ALL the achievements for the Festival, so I was pretty tickled by that! (the other two girls are just bank mules and don't leave the city they are home-based in for anything - did not participate in the festival). This post has been edited by mALX: Jan 5 2017, 06:24 PM

QUOTE(TheCheshireKhajiit @ Jan 6 2017, 05:16 PM)  Is 200g a good price for a crafting motif book?
If you mean the blues, then yeah, that's more or less what they go for. The purples are another story. (The gold Imperial motif means you're struck actual gold, unless you want to keep it for yourself.) Anyways, I decided to spend most of the Crafting Monkey's gold to buy Style stones. That the base motif stones aren't being sold is worrying, not only because I use them for writs, but because it looks like furniture crafting will use a lot of them and they might become more expensive down the road. Then again, most of that gold went to buying Stalhrim because I'm a dirty consumerist and bought the Frostcaster motif at the last second. ~5.5k for a single piece of Stalhrim right now (well, the price tends to be 6k, but I always go for a little lower). At least I'm not paying real money for Mimic Stones? The Crafting Monkey's gold comes entirely from writs and material sales, and this is exactly what it's meant for anyways. I just need to find a good supply of Goldscale and I'll be set. Dunno if I want to spare my Lion Fangs should Master Writs ask for that style, though. Other than that, I'm holding onto my tempers, too, and I guess I'll have to stop offering improvement up to blue for free should anyone ask for crafted gear. I'll need EVERYTHING ready once housing comes.

You mean like nickel, corundium, obsidian, etc.?

Not in guild stores, at least not in the main hub cities. People probably already snatched them up but this is bad news for me because I'm currently at around 70 for all nine of them. I really don't want to buy them from NPC vendors when they can be bought for like 3 gold a pop. There's still plenty of time, but it's still something to look out for.

QUOTE(Grits @ Jan 7 2017, 09:53 PM)  OK, whew. I don't like to pay 15 gold each at the NPC merchant, but I'm glad there's still that option if adventuring and thievery can't keep the motif rock box full. I think that until Homestead shakes out there will be a heightened level of hoarding.  Being that Khajiit didn't know about the guild stores being for everyone, he had always bought the ones for 15g from NPCs. Silly Khajiit! So when is the next festival? Spring?

They haven't announced any future festivals yet. This year's halloween and christmas festivals were the first ones we've ever had.
