Bold: BWAAHAA!!!


That was so cool meeting Jerric! I saw him standing in the bank, and he kind of stands out in a crowd- I thought to myself, "Gee, that guy looks just like Jerric!" So I kind of pushed Bubba into investigating, and was so excited to see it was really him! Awesome to "bump into" someone like that! We were both busy, but it was cool to just meet and know we are in the same world there and here both!

Like Spellcrafting, that's one of the new crafting lines I'm anticipating but may or may not be implemented at all. I'm having a hard time swapping out the Willpower/Endurance/Agility jewelry as it is. If I can improve them up to gold, only a CP 180 set of jewelry would make me change them. (When are we getting a CP increase? There's already data for CP 180 materials)

Having a meetup would be interesting. I wonder what the excuse scenario would be.

This next patch I think. I remember something about it in the patch notes.

Mira did the Inner Sea Armature last night. Didn't get anything of note.

They are, but I don't think they're doing a gear upgrade pastCP 160.

I think they're saving that for whatever Update 15 is (apparently "Nord Dungeons") based on the material names (IIRC, Horker Skin, Dragon Bone, and cloth I can't remember).

Unless those turn out to be style materials and not armor/weapon materials. Datamining is tricky.

Elke's Inner Sea Armature score: woo! Jerric found a racial motif book when he did the MG quest in there. It was a nice find because he didn't have that one yet.

Horker Skin… Maybe a set with frost resistant properties to go with a new frost magic class? I can hope.

They'll have to upgrade the gear cap eventually, right?

Yeah I don't usually trust datamining stuff unless I can see some images (like the Spriggan mounts that are coming to crown crates sometime). I'd assume anything specifically Nord related would be more likely to be style materials - wouldn't make sense if anything other than a Horker could drop Horker Skin the way that craft mats are dropped (kill something like a wolf, get Horker Skin? eeehhh).

Nice score, Elke!

Oh, I certainly hope they don't raise the gear cap. I'm so happy that Buffy is finally above CP160 and we no longer have to deal with disposable gear. Besides, the higher they cap the gear the uglier it gets.

It'll probably be something like horker skin fragments. Get 10 of them for a whole horker skin to use as your style material.

IIRC the icons for the materials matched what you'd expect from equipment materials. The "dragon bone" was actual white ingots for some reason...

Fake Edit: Now I remember the source! It looks like iit might be stuff from pre-release (but the OP mentions "new" materials)? There's things like Echaterre Wool and "Orichrome" and various other unused materials.

Either way, when it comes to datamining one can't be too sure.

Oh ma gah! This one thinks the Mazzatun light style might be his new favorite thing!

I'm dying to know about the monkey costume! GOT to love Data Mining, lol.












Inner Sea Armiture is my "place to go" for purple and blue level motifs - and recipes and racial stones, too. (and so many lockpicks I have to give them away, lol).

Haa-Rei finished the main quest this evening, and now we're heading into Covenant lands. I also want to get started on Orsinium, but I'm waiting until Haa-Rei is CP 160 so I can get the Briarheart set at that level.

Since we have no main quests, fighters guild, or mages guild left, we should make it through the Covenant stuff pretty quickly.

By "Finished the Main Quest," did you mean Molag Bal? GAAAAAH! I want details !!!

Oooh, I wanna know more about how scary the end of the MQ is too!

Buffy joined Alise (Rider), Jerric (Grits) and Haa-Rie (hazmick) in the dockside tavern at Davon's Watch today for a glass of mead. She has briefly traveled with and even fought alongside Alise and Haa-Rei before but it was the first time in this era she has met up with Jerric. She felt like a mouse standing beside him! And she imagines he has to turn sideways to get his shoulders through doorways. That he was shirtless did not make the tavern feel any less warm than it already was either.

Jerric was BIG. Next time we meet up I might bring Ciri instead, since she's as tall as can be.



As for the Main Quest and Molag Bal, it's really nothing scary. I don't want to spoil anything, but you get a power-up during the quest to make fighting a Daedric Prince a little more...possible for a mortal. As I've said before, the MQ is on the same level as the Fighters and Mages Guild questlines - designed for everyone to be able to complete.

I was also struck by Haa-Rei's slender build. It totally suits his reptilian nature. It just seemed funny that the three of us could combine to be no bigger around than Jerric.

Oh, that is just what I wanted to hear about the MQ - on par with the other big questlines and designed for all players to be able to complete. Perfect, and thanks!

While I can appreciate that, if you seek it, there is some serious butt-kicking elite content in the game, I very much appreciate that most things are manageable enough to allow non-optimized characters controlled by older, slower fingers to get along pretty well.

Jerric thinks that orcs are big, Altmers are tall, and he is regular-sized. It was so neat to meet up with Alise, Buffy, and Haa-Rei and be on the same screen together! I love how different they all are, yet exactly how I imagine them from their pictures and stories. The Fish Stink is a good spot for an impromptu drink break between adventures. They don't require a shirt or shoes.

I liked the end of the MQ a whole lot. There's nothing I can say without fear of spoilers, so I'll stick to a simple "Go for it!"

Screens or it didn't happen !!!!

Eeep! I think Buffy was too flustered meeting Jerric to remember to take some pics.
