Those Jester trees are gorgeous. If you've got the space. No, Buffy, they are a bit too big . Your house is called Snugpod for a reason. . . .

Good to hear you got what you needed, hazmick. With only 2 weeks to get things, it really put the pressure on the last few days. I managed to get 1 more Camoran Throne recipe but sadly no Jewels. Hope everyone got at least one set of the stuff.

Congrats to Jerric and Elke for finally reaching the communal level pool. Always a relief tbh.

So I got everyone ready for 2 weeks of turbo-crafting. THe Squad were already doing all 3 equipment writs, but as of today I expanded it to the consumables as well. Wouldn't you know it, I'm suffering from inventory hell now. :V

I'm probably not doing much outside of crafting writs, but who knows. I went back on my word for the Jester's Festival. Motifs seem to drop regularly from the boxes. (I got 5 Lion Fangs from the first one, too! If only Eolan wasn't short on Rubedite...)

Now I gotta figure out a system that distributes the motifs evenly among the squad. I'm pretty sure I won't be able to finish every single one on all 3 characters, so it's best to focus my efforts to get the most out of them. Eolan only needing the woodworking ones and Hates needing all of them but throws a wrench in the even distribution part.

Either way, each one has 5 motifs to focus on and 3 that are left out for whoever gets it (Dwemer is mostly done, and Xivkin is relatively cheap, and Glass can be accessed by everyone).

I may need to make a new mule.

I thought Haa-Rei was needing that recipe, did he get it too?

Those trees are gorgeous! I got three small ones for the Guild Hall!






Ooh, Congrats on the Attunable!





D'Aaaaw, Jerric and his broom and bucket !!!!! I love it !!!!!! (not to mention loving that it was taken at the Guild Hall !!! )

Ack! I just realised I forgot to thank you for the blossom rune box + the recipes you sent me. Er, thank you! The blossom rune box arrived and will be made use of - Ervesa has quite enjoyed throwing flowers at people in Auridon and doesn't want to stop, lol.

In fact, in an ironic twist, just after yours arrived one dropped for my troop (who weren't really doing a lot of the festival quest - Adryn looked at the pig and she refuses - so I wasn't expecting one.) Sooo if you want it back I can send it back, or else if anyone else doesn't have one yet I'll be happy to pass it on.

Also, Jerric building a tree-house is a lovely mental image. Him doing it dressed like he is in the monthly screenshot is both lovely and hilarious.

In other news, I already had three motifs drop from anniversary boxes. That is a pretty good drop rate right there. My lot will be joining in the turbo-crafting, I believe - it's so much faster than the guild dailies (says Ervesa, out of breath from three dolmens and sneaking through a public dungeon to grab a book).

I've seen more motifs in an hour or two than I have in a full week before. Good stuff. With all the dailies out there, it's probably best to focus on the quick and easy ones and then MAYBE do the longer ones.

Today I knocked out 48 myself. 38 of them were through crafting, the rest through various dailies. Probably what I'm going to stick to tbh. I almost did the 6 world bosses in Wrothgar with Eolan but geeze, no thanks. He'll stick to Undaunted and the Daily Wrothgar Delve. (Might add another just to bring him up with the rest).

Best part about today is how Hates found 2 Assassins League and 1 Order of the Hour motifs through normal means while doing the Gold Coast dailies. Bless.

That was a fun photo shoot at the Guild Hall while Misa was moving that anchor around.

hazmick, glad you got your trees! Whew, lol.

Kazaera, you’re welcome, and glad you got your flower branch. Someone else must have sent it, maybe mALX? Elke still has an extra in her backpack. I am giggling over Adryn and the pig! Good luck to Ervesa with the dailes. Those Fighters Guild ones are a lot of leg work!

monkey, somehow the Jubilee boxes make the regular motif and Master writ rewards seem extra fun when I get them now.

These jubilee boxes are the best ever! Every single one has something Jerric’s crew can use, and the motif chapters are just awesome. Whee!

Buffy's been doing an Undaunted Delve Daily everyday for weeks and weeks. Just yesterday morning finally finished. That means getting her undaunted skill up to 5 so she can put Necrotic Orbs into her healer bag of available abilities.

Hmm, now with the jubilee boxes for dailies, looks like she'll continue those dailies through the anniversary event. There are only about a dozen delves involved and after doing them each many times gettting Undaunted L5, Superian has worn a path to each so they are quick and easy now.

Good plan, I think I'm going to do those solo pledges too - could have done several dailies yesterday in the time it took me to do just the one IC Prison one. Won't make that mistake again, I hope!

So I went shopping for any unlearned green furnishing recipes and learned that the Mazzatun motif continues to be dumb expensive (and legs and chest motifs seem to be rare, with the one chests I found going for 80k) while also being convinced that the Steak Dinner furnishing recipe doesn't exist.

Ugh.

In other news the game seems to be supportive of Hates learning the entire Order of the Hour motif. Thank.

I've been furniture crafting today, and built some stuff to make the kitchen actually look more like a kitchen. Progress!

I need some sort of platform or stone counter for the Khajiit Firepit to sit on. I like the way it looks, but floor-level cooking fires are an accident waiting to happen.


Also looking into more armour options for Ciri. The set she has now (Pariah) is good, but we have more pieces of it than we need for the set bonus. Got 3 slots open, so I'm thinking of getting some Morihaus pieces, since they have decent bonuses and look great.

Checked out the new Crown store items in preview. I was pleased to see the prices for the new things are not absurd. The Scholar personality looks nice but too much time with that book open - even running and walking it seems. Will keep an eye out for others using it and see. Still can't beat Buffy's Cheerful personality I think.

The two new outfits are nice ideas and I'm pleased to see they are not just recycling that same saggy butt pirate pants model. Unfortunately, neither of the new outfits fit Buffy. Both of them make her look too thick-waisted, busty and overall bulky. Urp.

Just as well I suppose since we just did another (final, I think) name change for her and they are not cheap. Born Buffy the Spiritcatcher, changed to Buffy Dawnchild and now she is Dame Buffy. I think we're done. I was delighted to see the term 'Dame' properly used in ESO (unlike previous TES games). As some recall, Buffy picked up the title Dame Buffy many years ago after the Knights of the White Stallion questibits in Oblivion with Sir Mazoga. It was actually a nudge from SubRosa that started me calling the tiny knight Dame Buffy so long ago.

I want that steak dinner too, but haven't been able to find it; urk.

I've used up my last 2 character slots for a temporary mule and a temporary crafter for daily writs. :V

I'm not sorry I may be a little sorry.

I'm getting worn out from it, but doing all 6 of mine lately too.

Took a break from daily hell (but not daily crafting, never that) to furnish my homes a bit and I realized that one of the things that kept me from furnishing Ravenhurst was the graphic glitch that you get when you set down carpets on the ground floor. They vanish. :U But they can still be interacted with if you remember where you set them down.

Anyways, because this Daily Hell also joined forces with Inventory Hell, I don't think I've ever considered paying real money for either a sub or a portable banker more than I do now. considering how much I play I can't understand why I'm not subscribed tbh

If your carpet disappears, just click on F5, then "R". Click on the "Retrieve" tab. Go to the "Parlor" section and click on that rug. Either hit "R" to put it back into your inventory, or click on "E" to edit its position. Click on "T" to toggle the "Lock to floor" feature, and you can raise the rug up off the floor enough to stop it from disappearing. (sometimes their idea of "Lock to Floor" ends up being beneath the surface).

Oh, I know all of that, but the only option is to have it visibly floating off the ground. For the time being I'm just dropping them on the floor and hoping they fix the bug soon. They're obviously above the ground, since you can still retrieve them by clicking on them in spite of being invisible.(Not to mention they're fully visible when you set them down, they only vanish after hitting "place")

Bold: Wait, are we still talking about Zenimax?

So Ervesa went to Mournhold today. She's been delaying - I think she's been feeling unworthy - but gathered up her courage and went.

I admit I was worried about how the quests would go, because ESO doesn't really give you much in the way of RP options beyond not choosing dialogue options like "Who's Vivec?" :/ It's been annoying enough that people call her outlander; I've explained that away by saying the time difference means she pings as a little foreign, but it bothers me that in three games now it's been apparently impossible to play a Dunmer who's actually from Morrowind. So I was wary.

For no reason, it turns out! The Mournhold quests work super well with a devout Dunmer. Ervesa got a major spiritual experience, face-to-face time with one of her gods, and came out of it once again a member of the Tribunal Temple (if in a different role than last time and sworn to a different god). I also like to imagine Almalexia kindly gave her advice on the whole "so I woke up in Coldharbour with my soul missing seven hundred years in the past" thing offscreen. It's really not possible to overstate how much peace she's gained from this. She is mildly disappointed in herself for not having made the same choice as Vivec in Vivec's trial, but she did just get a lesson from Sotha Sil about the importance of imperfection so she can live with it.

...and then, when leaving the temple, she stumbled across someone with a quest marker and has now been named Deputy Cultural Ambassador for the Nords. So that could be. Interesting.

Kaz, I'm so glad that Mournheld did not disappoint such an experienced Morrowind player and fan! I do think they did a good job overall. I know that Grahtwood and Valenwood overall did not disappoint my little 'conceived in the Tall Trees' Bosmer.
