Yeah, that would be awkward, but Mira will never put aside Empress so that’s not really an option anyway, lol

Decided to spend another ~400k gold to go and get the Dreadhorn motif, meaning that for the first time I have 100% Master Writ drop chance. It probably isn't that big of an increase and most of the ones I've gotten are kind of crap but eh. Less to worry about until the next big update. (I also had to print out a new motif checklist just for that one motif)

Geez, how the hell did you acquire all this gold? Lol

Tempers
Also a bunch of other stuff like rare recipes and motifs. My motif fund has been hurting for a while so in this case the Squad had to throw about 130k each to have enough. It's all I spend my gold on so

Tempers, like selling them on a guild store?

SPEW!!!










Selling them on guild shelves has been funding a lot of tables for the Guild Hall, too;

Last night I finally completed the Maw of Lorkhaj Trial !!!! (normal mode) But still = WOO HOO !!!! The trophy is in the Guild Hall (Downstairs Right Entry Corridor).

Huge grats to Britta! Wow!

Trials sound waaayyyy too scary for me!

Buffy's happy just to sometimes do a normal 4-player group dungeon and not wet herself.

Well, SneakyBo usually never takes anyone except the Elite of the Elite on their Trials (as a rule). In fact = in all the time I've been there this is only the third time I've been asked to fill in when someone good has jumped ship on them (and they only asked after they exhausted all efforts to find someone better first, lol).

So yeah; it was way over my head.

Well how do they expect people to get better if they don’t invite people along? Developing new elite players should be a priority for other top players in a serious guild (case in point, they had to ask you because all of the other “elite players” told them to shove off). Khajiit just hates this elitist thought process, because the game is supposed to be open to everyone but if players are excluding other players simply because the don’t deem them “good enough”, well then that is a huge steamy pile of poo.

Yes, well they are trying to get good enough to do these trials on Veteran level; and so have been recruiting and inviting only really good players - even from different guilds to get a group good enough to do veteran. So unless they are desperate; I am not even crossing their minds.

Britta just Tanked Ruins of Mazzatun on Veteran!!!! WOO HOO !!!!!!!! She now has the Mighty Chudan helm (to go with the pauldrons she already had) = and the house has a new bust upstairs on that trophy ring plus a wall trophy downstairs behind the trophy ring! (had to remove the Clockwork City collectible to put them up; but that collectible was sitting where the Transmute station will be going anyway - not to mention that removing it freed up the two slots of the table it sat on and the candle that lit it, lol ).

Congrats! Maybe soon our guild can start working on doing more of these dungeon runs.

We could actually start off doing random normals together to learn the dungeons; learn the mechanics of the bosses before upping it to veteran. (or maybe at first just doing the baby dungeons on Veteran = Fungal Grotto; Banished Cells; Spindleclutch; etc).

I'd join you as a Tank anytime you want to go out with one of your DPS. (I don't have any DPS characters good enough; Misa is the best and she only does under 7,000 DPS).

I think Gosse and Acadian were doing some; maybe they would let us join them!

Congrats! Wow, great job mALX and Britta!

So just a heads up: this week's Luxury Furnishings are Clothier-based.

I've found some of that fabric furnishing once, but it's nice to be able to stock up on these things since the fabric basket near Homestead launch. It's great to finally have the one thing I wanted for the Squad's houses. I bought 2 looms, one for Jo's Sleek Creek and for the Squad's Striden Springs. Wasn't sure if I should put it near the IC clothier stations or in Jo's little lounge in the second floor, but I'm going with the latter for now. Now I just need some forges for Eolan. And maybe some lumber?

EDIT: I bought 3 looms, like 18? units of those cloth stacks, and like 8 spools of thread. AMA

I am delighted with the clothier stuff. The folded cloth looks just as good flipped over with the polka dot fabric showing. I only bought one loom because the crew is still buying housing, but it looks awesome in Elke’s clothier workshop. So glad they are interspersing some normal large and clutter items with the Daedric and such weekends.

Can I come look at these? I might want one near the courtyard clothier station at the Guild Hall if it is anything like one of those baskets with cloth rolls in them! (or some similar bit of decoration)

Sure! That's the crew's primary residence, so stop by any time. The clothier stuff is inside on the second floor. I just gave you decorator permission in case you need to move something to where you can see it better. It can be pretty dark up there and Pog is behind getting the lighting made.

I still want to come look at these; but missed the sale. I got tied up with a guy that is helping me build a new character; and lost track of time. The luxury vendor was already closed by the time I realized how late it was.

A friend I met online was soloing Veteran dungeons with his Templar; and told me he would help me build a good Templar for DPS if I would make one while this festival was on to take advantage of the double XP boosts. Well ... hell yeah!

So I started one the day before yesterday; and Haute was kind enough to make me a set of training gear for her. I loaded her up with Breda's XP boosting ale and went out skyshard hunting with her the first day; and she made it to level 9 by the end of that first night.

Yesterday I added an XP scroll to Breda's ale and the guy brought her to Skyreach in Craglorn to power-level her up on mobs there. By the time she reached level 17 (and still in level 4 light armor) she was dying too much; so I had to stop and make her a new armor.

Well, I didn't have the mats for her level; and didn't want to buy them since he was power-leveling her and she would be out of them too soon to be worth the expense; so the end result is that she is wearing level 14 gear; lol. But even just that 10 level increase helped her survive better.

So she went back to Skyreach with him (and now there were two friends of his with new characters). My new girl was just under level 20 by the time I had to stop playing last night. The guy helped me set up her Champion Points; he knows what percentage each one should be and had me juggle them around till he was satisfied with them.

This guy is a genius; he has developed some kind of app that calculates all stats on your character; their armor; the CP points; etc. = and totally by the math it spits out what you need to do to optimize your builds. He has already started tweaking Britta's Tanking gear; and is the one that helped me get her through the Ruins of Mazzatun on Veteran.

So anyway; that is what happened yesterday that I didn't make it to see the luxury items; but I am most def popping by to see them and probably drool over them.

It will be worth it if I can make a good DPS character out of this. She was doing (at the most) just under 5,000 DPS that first day when Haute and I were testing her on the Combat Dummy at the Guild Hall; (which is what Misa averages) but last night in the dungeon she was doing over 15,000 DPS; so already is the highest DPS character I've ever had.
