QUOTE(mALX @ May 2 2017, 10:44 AM)  QUOTE(monkeyemoness @ Apr 29 2017, 11:39 PM)  Magsorcs are a one-mage army and those pets are what got Jo'zira through Craglorn the first time around. They're great.
TIL that pickpocketing mages can net you Soul Gems as decorations. And I mean actual soul gems that you can pick up in the world, not the crappy "soul gems" that you can buy from achievement vendors. Jo has a Lesser Soul gem in his Sleek Creek house where his enchanting station will be now. I also learned you have to launder things before you can place them in your home. Gross.
OMG, I didn't know about this! Awesome !!!!! I think that is so cool, kind of like fishing can net you items to place in homes too! Ooh, related to this, Mira added a shelf and a lantern over her "bed" platform in her Ebony Flask prison cell room! That along with the Hircine banner is making the room feel a little less prison cell-y! We really do need a proper bed in there though...

QUOTE(Kazaera @ Apr 30 2017, 10:12 AM)  WOW, Acadian! I'm duly impressed by Buffy soloing a World Boss O.o
I need to get Tasrin-jo out a bit more - she's going magsorc, and I recently saw one of those destroy a dolmen. Ervesa is fun for stealthing but not exactly optimal for fighting - I may have to look up a Nightblade build at some point instead of just muddling through, as she's started having trouble with dungeon bosses. :/ Downside of the scaling system - in most other games I could manage a nonoptimal build by just overlevelling, here I get the impression she's getting steadily weaker as time goes on.
In the meantime, Adryn has fallen back into her old habits and joined the Thieves' Guild at Abah's Landing. I'm crossing my fingers that I can do that questline without, y'know, killing anything. Getting Adryn levelled has proven to be a real headache due to her restrictions, and I am 100% taking tips on ways to get XP without killing anything.
I'd like to know that answer to that myself. Of course you can get it by crafting Writs, and the higher the skill level (purchased via skill point expenditure) = the higher the XP you get. (like between 1000 XP for lowest level and 20,000 XP for the highest level). It is a slow growth, but definitely gains a character levels. Also, if you drink some Psijiic Ambrosia = the XP is doubled while the drink is running. Spend some skill points to extend the amount of time potions last, and you can make the most of these. Also, the Crown Store has XP Scrolls that also double the XP you receive from activities. You gain XP for doing quests, but would kind of have to look up the quests to determine which don't require any killing. I can't think of any others, anyone else know any ways?

QUOTE(Grits @ May 1 2017, 12:36 PM)  Congrats to Mira on finishing her Coldharbour business! I enjoy that part of the questline very much. Congrats to Buffy on her world boss victory! That must have been a grueling battle, but she is a determined elf. A magsorc with team in full fury is a sight to behold!  Kazaera, I have the same issues with Lildereth (stamina-Nightblade-bow) doing the Thieves Guild questline. She took a break and worked on her stealth, which helped a lot. To level she spent some time with groups at dolmens. It was pretty awful, but better for her than all of the various quests which would eventually put her toe-to-toe with a boss. It’s good to have other characters to spend time with for a break when things get frustrating. Now she enjoys the thief dailies, but it was rough until we got the hang of it. Some random thoughts from Jerric’s world. I may have mentioned it before, but I adore the scholar personality on Darnand. I gave him one of the slightly tousled hairstyles, so now with his nose always in a book it looks as if his hair has just fallen into his eyes. I thought that running with the book would look silly, but on him it’s endearing. He likes to travel with Tythis. The two of them crack me up with all of their note-taking. Another thing, I think they “fixed” the Markarth Bear Dog’s annoying bark by removing it. Hopefully that was not a mistake. Jerric loves that dog, but if the bark comes back I’m sending him on vacation. (The dog. Not the Nord.) The puffy shirt costume looks ridiculous. It is a favorite of Jerric’s. I have even dyed it a dark color, but then he just looks like a flavored marshmallow man instead of a regular one. I think it’s the boots that he likes so much. Now I have a reason to anticipate the next month’s costume offerings. Fingers crossed for cool boots with a shirt that doesn’t hurt my eyes. BWAAHAA! Jerric looking like a flavored marshmallow! Oh, I actually thought of Darnand right away when I saw the Scholar personality! So fitting for him! QUOTE(monkeyemoness @ May 1 2017, 03:58 PM)  @Kaza - I distinctly remember a combat part halfway through the questline but I could be wrong. Khajiit is right about the beginning though. I wasn't too happy with the Breton outfits, either. I tried them out on Eolan and...eech. Those sleeves. Loose cloth outfits have always been like this since they started being released and tbh I really don't like it. I'd say Eolan doesn't either but that's his default expression so. :V Maybe the high Breton outfit will look better on him, even if it isn't his thing. I was really hoping the mid one would be his outfit even if he looked like a Daggerfall shopkeeper.Anyways, since I was low on Heartwood and Eolan still hasn't hit the 10k harvested nodes mark, I decided to take him out to gather materials and ended up in Craglorn. I got 5 Fortified and 1 Potent Nirncrux out of it but not as much Heartwood as I wanted. HOLY COW, what a farming trip! Love the drawing of Eolan in his heavily fortified Farming Gear, lol. QUOTE(TheCheshireKhajiit @ May 2 2017, 01:34 AM)  If anyone has any heavy helms with any traits besides "Reinforced" to spare, Mira could really use them for the researches.
I can send you whatever you need! PM me in game what pieces you want, I'd be happy to send them!

Thanks mALX, but Grits already supplied me with all we needed! Khajiit appreciates the offer though! Mira finished her first group dungeon for an Undaunted pledge. We learned two interesting and surprising things. One, groups, even with complete strangers, can be fun! Two, Mira seems to hold agro fairly well. The dungeon bosses would come after her when she did her stabby stab thing and with her shield raised and power attacks refueling her stamina she was able to keep her health up while the others did their damage dealing. So now we have some questions about the Undaunted pledges. Is there an etiquette for groups when doing the pledges we should know about? Also, how do you talk to the group in chat?

QUOTE(Acadian @ May 2 2017, 05:05 PM)  On those occasions when Buffy the healer simply heals the fighters, she gets xp. I know Adryn is not a healer but if she picked up a resto staff and stood in the background at busy dolmens healing those who fight, she should get xp for the dolmen close. The first resto ability (grand healing) only requires level 2 in resto staves and would do nicely. Not sure if that suits her nature though.
This is a great idea, thanks! It's not quite Adryn, but I can handwave it (blacksmithing isn't all that Adryn either, really). In fact, her resto staff skill is decent because, well, it felt ridiculous not to put SOMETHING in her weapon slot :') and I recently gave her one of the resto healing skills because she was sneaking along behind another player letting them do all the fighting and I felt really bad about not helping. So it works out pretty well! Skill points aren't even the biggest problem - I mean, don't get me wrong, they're a problem, but there are tons of Skyshards out there so I can usually squeeze a few points out if I really need them. The main issue right now is that I really want to get the second detection-radius-decrease skill in the medium armor line before I pursue the Thieves' Guild line much further, and there is a lot of XP missing between me and that. It's proven hard to build up solely by crafting.

QUOTE(monkeyemoness @ May 3 2017, 11:34 PM)  This is the most expensive Motif I have ever completed since Akaviri. And I still have Silken Ring to finish. Hopefully it becomes cheaper down the road. Yeah but Khajiit really likes it! It's very "Aztec Eagle Warrior"!

QUOTE(TheCheshireKhajiit @ May 3 2017, 02:54 AM)  Welp, Mira Cervantii is now Champion Mira Cervantii!!
That is Awesome! Congratulations! QUOTE(monkeyemoness @ May 3 2017, 10:57 PM)  So I'm still hurting over the Jubilee-induced motif crash but next week I'll start selling some of the motifs that go pretty cheaply anyways just so I can get money into my bank for things.
I decided that instead of saving up 200k on each squad member I'd just have them each dump 100k into the bank. I don't have them do much shopping anymore so may as well. :T I only have Master Merchant enabled on one character since it's been so unstable since the last update and it hasn't updated for months, so I just have one character do the shopping tbh.
I also spent over 20k for Hearwood I'm not sorry.
Yes, having trouble selling any of my purple motifs since that festival. Surprisingly, was able to sell all my blue ones (for about half price, though) This post has been edited by mALX: May 4 2017, 03:09 PM

That is Awesome! Congratulations! Thanks! Mira had some trouble fighting the Flame Monarch in the quest "The Elemental Army" in Craglorn. Died twice. Finally beat it by spamming the spell absorb power, lol

QUOTE(Acadian @ May 5 2017, 09:58 AM)  Noticed a character today named Iguana Jones. Any guess what race this intrepid adventurer was? Made me smile and think of dear Haa-Rei.  Well with that name he had better have been an Argo or Khajiit would call his creator confused! Too bad there's no fedoras for Dr. Iguana Jones.
