Oh yes, you can definitely make an outfit with just a helmet. I think a lot of people will make one with just a shoulder and helmet to cover their monster set, or just a belt so that their weird dropped set piece matches their crafted armor (I’m looking at you, Mother’s Sorrow). Those partially filled outfits will let your equipped armor show in the empty slots. They would need to make something like a naked motif that would fill let you fill an outfit slot with an invisible item that hides your equipped armor piece for the pantsless look that I’m rambling about.

I think there is a hierarchy with how equipment shows, which is why under the current setup we can’t just add a Hide Pants option next to Hide Helmet under Gameplay. This is just a guess, but if Hide Helmet is higher than Costume and Costume is higher than Outfit, you could wear an armor costume from the Crown Store with the helmet hidden and still show your dyed weapons by selecting that Outfit.

Okay, so they are just like mini bank accounts type things! Well, I like the idea of having 360 extra storage slots! I will def use them no matter what! I was hoping to be able to use them to sort out some sets; but this is fine too.

I know one thing that will go into one immediately = all the clothing and disguises I kept because they were cute to wear in town (when not out adventuring). That will free up A LOT of room in both my bank and at least one bank mule, lol. (like the "Servant Outfit" from No Shira in Hew's Bane, etc).

The storage sounds great. I'm already thinking of ways I could use these aside from just storage. I guess I won't need the Banker in my houses after all. :v (I wonder how you get the other coffers, if the larger chests are through Vouchers/Tel Var/Crowns)

I'm happy with what we're getting with Outfits, but I also can't wait to have things like regular clothes and monster styles included along with the motifs.

Bold =


I am pretty sure I followed all that for the simple reason that I always use "Hide Helmet" on all my characters; but if I put on the collectible hats they DO show up on my head, which is how Misa and Britta are seen wearing those Misrule crowns.

I am really hoping that we can get the look of the Argonian lowest level shorts and/or the Bosmer lowest level tops while still having the protection of level CP160 gear!

And I do really love the idea of having a nude or pantie bottom we can use while still getting the protection of armor.

One of the tricks a friend taught me to use in PvP is wearing stuff like the evening dress costume over your armor = so enemy players can't see your armor style and figure out what your perks are. (don't accidentally forget to put the armor beneath it though like an unmentioned Nord party animal did, )

I would love to be able to have armor that looked like regular clothing too; that would be awesome!

We need “Emperor’s New Clothes” motif!

Yes!

Or maybe simply a dye preset that turns your armor invisible.

Woot! Another ESO+ event 9-15 Jan!

1. Those with a paid ESO+ will get a free crate for each day they play. Crates will be issued 18 Jan.

2. Those without a paid ESO+ can get a free period of using ESO+ (but no crates unless they actually purchase ESO+).

More details: https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/ne...Our-Bonus-Event


Buffy loves crates but Acadian only lets her get free ones. Lol.

Wow! Another one! Khajiit is surprised they are doing this. Aren’t the Crown Crate seasons 2 months long? If so then February will be time for a new Crown Crate season.

Actually, it makes more sense from a business perspective to do the free Crate give away at the end of the season instead of the beginning. If someone gets something really cool during the free Crate giveaway at the beginning of the season, they may not buy any more crown crates. If you wait till the end of the season, people determined to get something cool would have been buying crates all season long.

Free crates, woo!



I just saw a notice that Race Change Tokens are on sale until Jan. 11.

Do race change tokens change your alliance too?

No, and IIRC you're locked to only the 3 races of your character's chosen alliance unless you bought the upgrade to use any race in any alliance.

Anyways, PTS patch notes are out and I'm glad I already got the older motifs because they're changing the rarity on them. :U Allegedly the changes are marginal for most of them (presumably, the largest change to rarity will be on the 4 purple motif books that suddenly became super common with One Tamriel) Also you'll get Soul Shriven as a level up reward? ??? Great for crafters I guess.

Motifs affected are:


Another existing motif that's changing is Glass. Apparently Glass Motif Fragments will no longer drop, and the motif can be purchased from the Master Writ Mediator. Guess I'll hang onto my 200+ fragments for the sake of novelty. A relic of ancient times. :v (the glue will still be for sale. At the same price)

That aside, details on the Outfit system revealed weapon dyes are obtainable by deconstruction (might be retroactive?), the removal of the Imperial/Morag Tong converter and prices that are subject to change.

Also you get a lot of neat things from the Level Advisor tool (apparently you get to pick the costume rewards? Nice.) Also the crates you get are Flame Atronach. Meh. You also get free gold and other goodies.

So on the changes to rarity of those motifs, are they making them rarer or easier to obtain?

Rarer. Quite a few of those dropped regularly to the point that they were very cheap within a week of release (like Mercenary).

Damn, Khajiit didn’t know Minotaur could get any rarer. You can only get it from one place and even then the drop for it is ridiculously low.

I get the feeling that one will be one of the "only slightly tweaked" ones. At least, I hope so. Getting it really is a pain.

Anyways, right now the chests are going for 200 vouchers in the Master Writ Mediator store while the coffers go for 100, so 1200 vouchers altogether for storage? With the freebie at level 18, it's 1100, though. Nice. (the Fortified one is the freebie, I think)

Can't tell what they go for crowns, though, and not gonna bother finding out what they go for with Tel Var stones. I've already decided two are going to be "Armor Hell" for set armor and jewelry. One coffer will be the "Mail Box" so I don't have to go to the bank in case I have stuff I need to trade with another character.

It will be very nice to no longer have the equipment that is being kept for use cluttering up the decon and research menus at the crafting stations.

I normally lock the armor items I keep in my bank - just so they do not appear in the decon menus at crafting stations.

Khajiit hasn’t gotten a master writ in a couple of months so it looks like we will be spending crowns on storage containers. *Sigh*


Good idea! Khajiit must try this!
