Same. Sometimes I find the really, REALLY good deals, but I've learned from experience that anything past "1 hour ago" postings are more than likely gone.

Anyways, I'm trying to get all the Legendary furniture plans from the vendor before they're gone, with priority on the crafting-themed ones in case I don't make enough by the time Horns of the Reach is released.

Progress so far, but I can get one more with the vouchers Jo's saved up.

Oh yeah, I had forgotten that you mentioned that before! Awesome! I wanted the Mortar and Pestle, but ended up just buying them instead. Wasn't very happy with what I saw of the Orc fur table, though; it was awfully small!

HhhhHHHH...I just, really hate being a completionist sometime.

Earlier today I went on a Master Writ frenzy since I hadn't ACTUALLY used most of the ones I got. It was...a lot. I feel dead inside, but hey! I'm at 719 vouchers!

They can take a lot out of you! This is the reason I'm hoping to get all the crafting sets under our Guild Hall roof; so we can go to one spot and run all the master writs without having to travel around. That should make it easier at least!

Ahh, yes, Maz can vouch for that. In fact, she is grateful to Monkey for letting her use the Armor Master wood table at her mansion. Really saved a lot of time and hassle as she also had enchanting writs to do as well.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Okay so, on their own Master Writs can be time consuming if you let them pile up like I did. They tend to send you to fifty different places at once.

Then multiply that by four. Now add to that the fact that I was trying to be exact with how many vouchers a particular character will end up with because I wanted to make use of every single voucher I got so I could be done in time. (A few characters already had a good number of vouchers on hand when I started Crafting Hell. Some even had 100+. The plans go for 125 vouchers each.)

At first it worked out okay. Most characters made it to the 125 mark when the amount of inventory space the Writs took up became a problem. One reached 250 and so he was done. (The Crafting Monkey, meaning less single-trips). I had to pass the writs around so everyone got the exact number.

Theeeen I got some big voucher drops from dailies. And Jo'zira, the one who started with 100+, went over the limit (leaving him with 45 that another could have used).

What I'm saying is I'm done stressing so today I spent like 100k to finish up already. I was left with 23 vouchers I never used. (On Hates. She only bought one Legendary furniture plan but she sent all her master writs to Jo. At least the ones he could complete)

So. Yeah. Nightmare over. I can't wait till I'm pulled into this again. Worst part is that the update would have made things easier.

Anyways, I am now able to craft those recipes that will be taken down come Horns of the Reach. AMA

(But yeah, as always, the IC stations are open for anyone who needs them. Unless you can't enter the house which would be a problem so let me know asap if you can't enter.)

I was thinking of putting more in there but it would mean less regular decorations and I'm already nearing the limit. Speaking of, I guess I should decorate the place some more. I still don't have a banker but I can at least put up a big ol sign that says "IC Stations Here". In other words the Legion banner. idk

I'm just glad Crafting Hell's over. EDIT: Again.

That is AWESOME! Thank you so much for letting us use them, that is a tremendous help for doing the Master Writs!

* What you can do to make it easier (if you want to) is just add "The Chorrolites Guild" under "Add Guild" to people allowed to visit and as long as it is at your primary residence then everyone at the Guild should be able to access them. That is how I did the Guild Hall, so whenever we add some new member they can automatically visit the Guild Hall.

Yeah, I have the Chorrolites guild listed as "Visitors" along with a few non Chorrolite friends, but I also have it as "No Access" and part of me worried that'd prevent visits. But I remember that apparently some people made it inside so it's just baseless fears.

Also, I feel like I should take this opportunity to mention that apparently placing crafting stations on other furniture sometimes makes them unusable which can be a problem when you dont' own the house. Normally I just grab them for movement and immediately cancel (which makes them work again even if I didn't even move them), but reloading the UI works too. So if the Clothier stations ever give anyone trouble, just hit /reloadui and they should work again.

Also, the good news is I got as close as I could to a caracal with Jo'zira. The bad news is I hit "confirm" before I even touched the height. So he's still not as tall as he should be. Welp....whatever.
EDIT: I just spent 1k crowns on another token so I can fix that. Not like I'm getting Horns of the Reach anyways.

I looked up some caracal pictures and, wow, you are right! You nailed it with Jo'zira!

On one hand I was upset that I couldn't get the bright red fur, but on the other caracals with lighter fur exist and tbh it looks better. His fur looks like orange juice in character select but in-game it looks great.

Now I gotta think about the fact that I only have 1.8k of the crowns I bought left. (Fjotreid also got a makeover, mostly to fix his proportions a bit)

I didn't know what a Caracal was, so looked it up:


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caracal


I think the resemblance is amazing! Even Jo'zira's expression can be seen in one of the pics on this page!!! Great job, and the coloring is spot on!

Haa-Rei and Cirinwe both did their first ever master crafting writs today, wooooooooooooo! It's an especially big achievement for Haa-Rei, because the writ had been sitting in his journal for about 6 months, waiting for the appropriate research to get done.

I'm also looking at Ciri's stats to make her more...better. I don't usually play healers or tanks in any games, so I have no idea what I'm doing with Ciri's healer/tank hybrid. Still, the only thing to do is trial and error for this sort of thing.

\o/

I've since finished research but getting to make a thing after a long wait is a good feeling.


Anyways, the Midyear Mayhem event (probably) ends tomorrow which means it's time to go buy the Militant Ordinator Motif. After spending gold on a bunch of other stuff earlier.

I expect my bank to be emptied out.

I am so proud of Britta!!!!! She got the Achievement for getting ALL the Achievements in the Midyear Mayhem festival!!!

That means she took a Keep, killed 50 Players in PvP; took a district in the Imperial City; won a battlegrounds battle; and got 25 gift boxes for her Alliance War effort! AND = she also made the rank of Corporal in the Alliance War tonight !!!!! WOO HOO !!!!!!!!!!!

Hazmick, good luck with Ciri. I should think a hybrid build is tough.

Monkey, congrats on the research.

MALX, wow, Britta is amazing!

Khajiit, Mira’s new armor looks great. I like how the colors make Morihaus work so well with the wolf head.

Acadian, what a victory for Buffy soloing Nomeg Icebutt! Sounds like Rageclaw is a good target for our next Guild adventure.

monkey, outstanding job with your crafting hell, I’m so glad you can get the plans you want before they’re gone! (I wonder what fresh hells will come with the HotR update?) Thank you for the tip on the clothing stations – yesterday Elke stopped by to decon and couldn’t interact with them. Next time she’ll do that trick. Jo’zira looks beautifully caracalish. Magnificent! (I completely relate to spending 1000 Crowns to correct the height setting!)

hazmick, congratulations on Haa-Rei’s and Cirinwe’s first Master Writs! I feel the pain of starting over with research. My crew almost all use Pelenil’s on the PS4, and it will be a while before Elke is up to crafting it for the new bunch. I have not been happy yet with a hybrid build without Pelenil’s.

mALX, congratulations, what a huge achievement! Wow, excellent job with Britta!!

Congratulations to Britta! Got there just in time, i think.

So today I decided to check out the Militant Ordinator motifs and discovered that best case scenario, it'll cost about 875,000 gold to get a full set of them. I had 500,000.

I also discovered that even with the recent event, MO motifs are hard to find outside the main cities. I got 6 of them before I stopped finding them, with nearly 150k gold left to spend. I guess it's good I get to build up some gold to get the other 8? (I need 550k total for the rest of them)

Ugh. I guess only the Crafting Monkey will get that. The only way the Squad will get that is through another Anniversary event, tbh. Still not sure if I'll even try Buoyant Armiger any time soon unless they increase the droprate, which lbr they won't.

On a less rancid note, I discovered that my Strident Springs Demense house had a hidden Altmeri Brazier placed WAY far into the eastern hills surrounding the steading. I only discovered it because I was looking at the furnishings I had set to see if I could get a lamp for the Dye Station. I never remember setting down a brazier and I can't even craft one.

I tried searching the other categories but found nothing else out of the ordinary. Is this a known thing, or....?

Guess it's time to check the other houses. :V

EDIT: Come to think of it I DON'T REMEMBER SETTING DOWN AN ARGONIAN BRAZIER EITHER.

EDIT 2: ARE YOU FLIPPING JOKING THERE'S A TON OF TORCHES OUT IN THE SURROUNDING COUNTRYSIDE PLACED THERE FOR AMBIENCE BUT THEY FLIPPING TAKE UP FURNISHING SLOTS THIS IS A FLIPPING RIPOFF YOU DON'T EVEN SEE MOST OF THEM

Just checked my Strident Springs...yep, free braziers. Also a high elf lamppost?

EDIT: Also also two Nord Torch, Triple.

Oooh, maybe that will be our next real estate purchase??

Free lights for all!!

Seriously, while Maz loves her Mournoth Keep, and the others appreciate its proximity to a wayshrine (and Alise adores the view from the upper deck), Maz is going crazy trying to get the interior bright enough to display all the oversize paintings we've accumulated . . .

So free lights would be much, much appreciated . . .

Though why they are buried deep in the surrounding hills beats me . . .

The lighting in interiors is always so bad in ESO. I bumped my game's brightness up a couple of ticks the other day which improved it quite drastically, but I'm worried that fast travelling somewhere bright like Alik'r will render me blind.
