Outstanding progress on the crafting stations, mALX, thank you so much! I don’t have a preference for whatever comes next, and it sounds like you folks have a good plan. Clever Alchemist really is a pain to get to.

monkey, what fantastic shots of the Chorrolite pups! Thank you for posting these, such cuteness!

Reminder that the next guild meeting is this Friday!

Ya boy will be there! Although I'll probably be late for it. Not sure exactly when, but I project I'll be on around 6. Maybe earlier though.

Haven't played ESO in a couple weeks. I was in Stormhaven doing stuff for the Oracles of Azura last time. Tried to get on the other night but the launcher gave me issues, so I played Half-Life instead. Going to try to go on ESO tonight or tomorrow to do some more of that stuff before the guild meeting, so hopefully no more launcher issues for now.

Looks like I have some free time tonight and tomorrow night. Anyone want a Spontaneous Guild Adventure?

Me Me !!!! I do, I do !!!!

I'd be up for that

Yay! I am going to make some dinner, I'll look for you in a bit!

A wonderful girls night out (plus Jerric) in Craglorn. I took some screenies, which I'll upload in the morning.

I agree, hazmick, and so glad you got some screens. I forgot (again, lol).

Yes, Jerric, Ciri, Britta and Buffy did some swimming, dancing and drinking. Then we went to Craglorn looking for trouble - and found some. Great fun.

It was a lot of fun! I wish I'd remembered to take screens of it! Glad you remembered, Hazmick!!!

By the way, thank you Acadian/Buffy so much for the Awesome job Healing yesterday! I never had to look far for a shard, and know it had to be you keeping Britta's health up in those Boss fights! Awesome job!!!

Heading home

These shots are great, you captured the whole Fun Run perfectly!!! Wait, was Ciri healing too? WOW!!! Awesome job to both Ciri and Buffy then!!! I know Britta never once saw her health bar go down; and certainly never lacked for a shard or synergy to use = fantastic work!

Thank you for the kind words, mALX. Buffy loves healing her friends. I'm so glad your fingers are getting more comfortable catching synergies like shards; hopefully they help Britta's resource management. I noticed that Jerric and/or Ciri was also putting out shards. And yes, Ciri was healing as well; I know she uses Mutagen whereas Buffy uses Rapid Regeneration (both are HoTs - different morphs of same spell). Nice thing about two healers with each is that the two HoTs stack!

Wow, hazmick, those are spectacular shots - catching Buffy casting Rapid Regen is a magical shot as well as the one of both Jerric and Ciri channeling dual Jesus Beams! For mALX, Jesus Beam is the nickname for the magnificent Templar execution skill of Radiant Destruction and its two morphs. Against a target below 20% health it is devastating. Buffy uses it more often to 'explode' ranged pesky adds to keep them from shooting her tank!

mALX - yep, Ciri did a little healing too. Buffy is by far the better healer, but Ciri can get right into the melee to throw down some extra healing when it might be required.

Acadian - we LOVE radiant destruction. Not only does it do great damage, it looks really cool too. Ciri currently uses the glory morph so it heals her a little, but I've been thinking about respecing to the other morph for the extra damage.

What a great time last night, my friends! Jerric was as relaxed and happy as a Nord can get. If you asked him to describe the perfect day, it would sound a lot like our rambling adventures!

hazmick, you captured the night beautifully in your screenshots! Thank you so much! Acadian picked out my favorite action shots, tremendous! I remember when the dual beams moment happened, Jerric was hooting with joy. He does enjoy the glory of Templar magic.

The Guild Hall Healz disco right before we headed out still cracks me up. Jerric hastens to point out that the angle of his tabard flap is the result of his bodacious Nord dance moves, and not any, er, other reason.

Acadian, Buffy looks fabulous whatever she wears, but her midriff-baring top from last night is extra nice. May I ask what style that is? I have an elf who won’t level up until I can replace her Hide outfit with something that she likes.

Hazmick - RG vs RO. Just remember that to fully optimize RO, your magicka bar should be quite full when you cast it since that is what it scales off for full damage. Those who prefer RG generally want the heals or expect they will be low on magicka when casting their beams near the end of a big fight. I expect both are good. Buffy uses RG but not with a really strong conviction of one morph over the other.


Grits - Thank you! What you saw on Buffy (showing her tummy) was the medium draugr jack. Longer explanation: Buffy finally maxed out the top Undaunted passive so she gets +2% to all three attributes for each type of armor she wears. So she is now in 5 light, 1 heavy (hidden helm) and 1 medium. The extra health lets her drop all health enchantment in favor of all magicka enchantments so she worked things to hold the same okay health but boost her magicka notably. In redoing her wardrobe somewhat to support a medium piece, I discovered the draugr style medium jack is sleeveless and bares the midriff! Since the tummy-baring sleeveless top looks rather breezy for chilly places, her alternative is medium Imperial boots with light Nord jerkin.

Thank you, Acadian! I was scratching my head thinking that was a Light piece, and trying not to creep Buffy out by having Jerric loom over her with too close an examination of her top, lol. Congrats to Buffy on maxing out Undaunted Mettle!

I am a big fan of the Light Nord jerkin. Jerric always has one in his backpack, though it is long overdue for an upgrade.

What I sometimes do to check the style of top level stuff is craft a CP150 version for evaluation. It looks the same as CP160 but costs way less mats to make. I've even tried dye combos on them before committing to crafting one in CP160. That ESO fashion site I think you and I have both used is pretty helpful.

Buffy is basically kitted as follows:
- Hidden Breton heavy helm.
- Argonian light belt & gloves (no choice since that is her preferred dropped set of Robes of the Hist).
- Altmer light pants since they are sleek fitting.
- Altmer epaulets (no shoulder flappers), though Ancient Elf is also okay in that regard and probably a couple other styles.
- Imperial light boots since they are also sleek fitting - whether medium or light.
Several light jerkins in Nord, Breton, Draugr and that medium Draugr jack you saw last night.

In her sorc aspect, we go to pains to keep her looking almost identical. Even her sorc chosen dropped set is also Argonian style (Necropotence).

Looking forward to our guild meet up today!

Buffy is up for about anything as far as a meeting agenda – drinking, swimming, fishing, dancing, adventuring.

That said, if we are looking for a nice, fairly sedate little adventure I do have an idea that Buffy is prepared to lead/navigate. It would be limited little adventure to Wrothgar simply to clear one delve - Nikolvara's Kennel, which contains a couple fishing spots and a skyshard. Foes include durzogs, spiders and bandits. The boss is an archer type bandit who is the ‘Durzog Trainer’. Though we would need to kill a fair number of foes in the dungeon (and boss), the fighting involved is not hard even for a solo player. Mostly just a light-hearted little fun run.

Buffy’s completely up for about any alternatives but I just thought I’d toss out one simple possibility in case we’re looking for ideas. I think what may have got me thinking about this one was a comment by someone here (Khajiit?) about wanting to take out that Durzog Trainer.
