A new thing to do at your gaming table at your next party!

Khajiit = thank you so much for keeping us up to date with your posts on here, I love being able to just click a link instead of waiting for their mailing (which always comes long after everyone else has the news, which really sucks!)

No problem! Khajiit is happy to do this.

There’s info about the new Costume system out today - I’m on my phone or I’d link the article. Looks like using the appearance of any tier and any weight armor will be a thing, plus weapon dyeing!

Still wondering: will there be a no armor option for bare riding?

We finally got the details on the Q1 update.

DLC involves Peryite Worshipers (!) and Fang Lair (!!!) the latter of which will most likely take up another spot in Craglorn if my memory of Arena is correct (it's in the Craglorn area). Funny thing is people were guessing Labyrinthian was going to be one of the dungeons. Almost?

OUTFIT SYSTEM. BUILD YOUR OWN COSTUME. KNOWN MOTIFS ONLY, AND IT INCLUDES WEAPONS!!!! Everyone gets one (1) free costume slot and you can buy more in the Crown Store. Customization is done with in-game gold, but you can also buy tokens for that...which might suggest it's expensive as hell in-game. Not perfect, but it's...something? (We need more details on how it works I guess) I was hoping on having a custom costume per character but it doesn't look like it's happening.

Level Up and Skill Advisor. Teaches you how to play the game as you level, and it even rewards you with things! (Not retroactive, though it seems every character you level will get something. Maybe)

HOUSE STORAGE. NOT AS AWFUL. A separate storage from the bank where you can hoard things. Containers bought from Master Craft Mediator or from Crown Store. You get one free container from the Level Up Advisor when a character hits level 18 (again, AFTER the patch, not before)

Also new battlegrounds idk, I stopped caring after the housing and costume parts. It'll be on the PTS next week.

Additional info (from Reddit, thanks dominoid):

• The rewards obtained through the Level Up Advisor are items that will be helpful for your character as they progress to level 50, and will not be retroactively granted to existing characters. We'll have a full list of the milestone rewards listed in the PTS patch notes for visibility.
  
• You cannot craft the Housing Storage Furnishings. Storage coffers and chests will be available for purchase from the Mastercraft Mediator, the Crown Store, or from Tel Var Merchants. You'll also be able to earn a storage coffer from the Level Up Advisor when you reach level 18, if you have not already purchased it.
  
• Weapons are included in the Outfit System, so you'll be able to not only change how your weapon looks, but also... dye it! Cool, right?
  
• It's just a nice little "good job" reward, but keep in mind those (and other collectible-type things) are per account, not per character. The mount included in the Level Up Advisor is just your basic brown horse.
  
• Any character that hits a new level will receive their applicable rewards once they ding the new level. So, you could start a brand new character and get every reward until 50, or you could pick up an older level 32 and get every reward after level 32.

Details on outfit system:

• You will receive one free Outfit slot, and additional slots can be purchased from the Crown Store.
  You can change your Outfit in a slot as many times as you want for a fee [Dominoid: presumably gold].
  You're not really changing the look of an actual item, but think of it more like creating a "costume" that you're wearing.
  
• Battlegrounds are going back to non-CP.
  
• Crown Crates and other collectible-type rewards will be limited to one per account (you can't grind for Crown Crates)

Sounds like it will be worthwhile to create a "level up rewards mule" character to hold at level 1 until the update goes into effect...

Khajiit will probably just start over one of his low level characters when the update drops. Probably his Argo Sorc.

Oh, I would LOVE to see Labyrinthian as a doable dungeon! And as old as it is supposed to be, it really should be in game! So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed on it! The replica in Skyrim was really poorly done imho; way too easy and ... boring. I doubt if ESO would make it too easy, lol.

LOVE the sound of the Skill Advisor and all those rewards for leveling up!!! But ... (that said...) gee, what about characters that are maxed? This game does have a tendency to almost always reward the short term players and ignore the long term players with their bonuses. I'm out of slots to start a new character, urk.

The storage sounds okay if you just want to hide all those bound crown items that you aren't really wanting to destroy; (or maybe store a bunch of armor and jewelry so I can dump some of my bank mules) = but in a house like our Guild Hall = anything in there is something I want displayed and seen; not hidden in a chest. I may put one of those in the Skywatch and Daggerfall apartments though. Me = I still want additional slots, and don't feel like they are responding to the numerous complaints they have had on how low their inventory slots are for the larger houses.

Still, this is all exciting news; especially that Peryite is finally going to be represented! WOO HOO! although I won't buy any dungeon only DLC; I actually do play them on the Plus membership. Will def get screens of that Peryite one! That was one of my favorite Daedric quests in Oblivion; and especially loved that Spellbreaker shield reward! I wonder if they will have that in this game?

** Ditto on running over to the PTS! May see you there, lol.

*** Thanks for posting this info, Monkey!







Right? I was thinking the same thing! Unfortunately, I will either have to buy an additional character slot from the Crown Store or kill off one of my highly skilled crafting mules to start another character, lol.

I'm mostly interested in the storage collectible you get at 18 (apparently? I've yet to see an official source) but it turns out Ruben--my lowest level character--is at level 19. gdi

I mean I can make a new character and get the rewards for the previous ones easy but still. Also I just realized my last mule may be out of a job soon. Depending on how much you can store in these.

Don’t execute your mules just yet. Khajiit is not expecting the storage items to hold much. Hopefully this will be proven wrong, but Khajiit will be keeping his bankers alive for now.

*Deleted as it seems much of this has been clarified through ESO Live.*

Basically, best ending for costume making: motifs are account-wide for costumes only, EVERY character gets one costume, it's unclear whether you can go pantsless/shirtless/shoulderless etc. but you can leave slots blank

I am elated

Yeah Khajiit is very interested in playing around with it. Great. Something else to distract this one from adventuring and fighting for hours on end, lol

@mALX-
Don’t know if you watched the show, but they said increasing housing item cap is something they are looking into, not for this update but sometime in the future. So at least it’s being talked about by the devs.

Exactly what I was thinking = if they offer enough storage it might actually free up some bank mule space so I can make another fun player character instead; which would be Awesome ... but, really hard to think about eliminating even the lowest mules after I spent so much gold in upgrading their backpacks and training up their horses and crafting so they could do the highest level crafting and possibly bring in Master Writs for me; and all the researching they learned, etc.

It is a decision I'm really going to have to weigh carefully; but I am thinking it might be cheaper in the long run to buy extra character slots and make the new characters that way = keep my crafting mules for their valuable contribution to the Master Writ pool.

I have (however) become overrun with junk again since making this latest new character; and have been considering going through all my mules and grinding up everything that isn't level CP160; and only keeping the Monster sets; Trial sets; and PvP sets in those. That would free up a whole lot of space;











WOO HOO !!!! I hope it is in the near future! I really hate to give up my dream of all the tables being under one roof for ease of access; but really don't want to strip the Guild Hall down to nothing to do it!

So they said on the show that the least amount of slots a storage item will have is 30 slots. If you get all of the storage collectibles you will have a total of 360 storage slots in your house! Since it’s a collectible, you can put a storage item in multiple houses, but they apparently share items with any storage items you put in other homes (ex: if you put an axe in a chest in Pinnacle and then put the same collectible storage chest in Hundings Palace, the axe will be available for pick up at Hundings as well as Pinnacle).

I”m actually okay with it being shared storage for all the homes - just getting a max of 360 storage slots per house would be awesome!

I just keep grinning over the new outfit system. Even if we can’t go pantsless (yet), there are some minimal pants among the 270 leg styles that Rich Lambert (frequently short-pantsed himself) mentioned. The Argonian rawhide skort comes to mind.

Holy cow, this is going to be great!!

My bank characters are in no danger of being dragged out back and shot. They’re too awesome. I planned to buy a new character slot and gut through the upgrades anyway when some day a new class comes out. Also someone mentioned that a fifteenth slot will be available after the update for those who have maxed out their 14 characters already. I think that even with 8 containers of global storage (yay!!!), I will still end up stuffing things in various backpacks.

Fingers crossed that more housing slots and a Guild Hall designation with perks is forthcoming. This storage thing is a huge step in the right direction for housing. I was seriously concerned that the new stuff would be Crown Store only, limited time, then buy 1,000 Crown Crates for a chance of maybe getting something.

Custom outfits, people!!! Woo!!

Khajiit was thinking they said you could make an outfit that was just a helmet if you wanted. Pretty sure the guy said that on the show.
