Three long-earred blondes strolling through the forest. . . .

The sparkles tinkle - like as in every time a fairy gets her wings.

OMG, I've never seen a Khajiit with the Duchess personality! That must be hilarious!!! I'm going to the PTS and try that one out!

I may end up spending on that pony just from hearing about it from you! Just viewing it, I didn't see it walk or rear up or hear its magical noises! It sounds amazing hearing about it!

And oh yes, I could most def imagine Buffy loving a magickal version of Superian like that! I hope she got Superian's little blonde sidekick too!

Spindleclutch- gaaahhhhh!

That is all...

Did you do it? That is not the place for someone with a spider phobia, that is for sure, lol.

Trey was in the vicinity on one of his "it's a work night" harvesting/fishing runs and decided to see if being level 42 made it more survivable solo than the other 10-15 times he had tried it.

The answer is- "No. It does not make it more survivable solo."

Spiders 16
Overmatched Breton Nightblade 0

It is made to be done by 4 people: A Tank; a Healer; and 2 DPS = and when you get to the big bosses you will most def need that Tank and Healer.

My Bosmer Wizwen has enough trouble with three spiders at once, let alone 16.

Laurie finally got her Luminous Russulas. After Unna found the one in Stonefalls - I'm convinced there's only one - she went off herself and found the one in Glenumbra. It was exactly where she expected to find it, right next to Asard the Putrid at North Point. But she managed to sneak in and grab it without starting a Boss fight.

So now she has the Botanist achievement, and a new grey dye called Nirnroot Gray she can use. That's when she turned her attention to finishing off her writs, and we discovered that none of the crew can harvest Beech. And she just has the one shield left to make before she turns it in. We forgot about running out of materials.

Laurie just bumped her woodworking up to Hickory (without thinking about the consequences), and Unna's playing at that level. Each of them gets Oak as well, as Unna's not advanced her woodworking, and Laurie is L22. Blossom isn't up there yet, either. Wizwen is at 23.82 so she'll be running around tonight trying to reach 24. Then there's the issue of seeing anything among the undergrowth in Grahtwood. She doesn't have Keen Eye helping her, foraging not being among her usual tasks.

Hopefully then we'll get back to normal. Unna needs to finish off Shadowfen. She still has a few of the exploring and/or skyshard achievements to collect. The fungal hunt in Stonefalls was a bit of a distraction from that, but she wandered into the Rift by mistake, and it felt like home.

Just had my first clipping error experience in ESO... soloing Obsidian Scar and got punched through the wall by a bunch of clannfear and banekin.

And... the only way out is apparently to type /stuck and pay the teleport fee. Considering that clipping issues have been well-documented in Elder Scrolls games since at least Daggerfall (where "surfing the void") became a standard practice due to the random dungeon blocks... I would think there would be a better fix.

Don't mind the gold, which was minimal- but having to fight my way BACK through all the Ogrim, banekin, etc.... urf.

Lol, Khajiit has seen enemies get stuck in walls but never found himself in that predicament!

You can right click on ANY player's name on your friends list or Guild roster; etc = click on "Travel to Player" to save from having to pay if you ever get stuck again.

But that Obsidian Scar is one of my most hated places in the game! How on Nirn are you able to solo it? Holy Cow!!!

If you get stuck you can travel to a friend, guildie, or someone's house to get unstuck for free. That doesn't keep you from having to slog the whole way back to where you were, though.

Elke and Jerric both tend to take the Nord shortcut straight down when they're following maps in uneven terrain. Many incidents of getting stuck in the rocks.

Buffy had a huge problem with getting 'stuck' once long ago. She was using the bow skill (morph) that knocks you back from enemies and was fighting a big battle at sea. Well her bow skill knocked her right through the ship's bulkhead into an 'inaccessable' area. She could move around but could not get out. None of the get unstuck tricks (stuck, teleport to friend, port to your house) worked because she was 'in combat'. Though in combat she could not actually shoot her foes to stop the combat. Nor - even pressing up against the wall - could foes hit and kill her so she could resurrect elsewhere. Restarting the game brought her back up in exactly the same predicament.

We had to put in a 'help' request to Zenimax and exit the game. Within an hour I got a nice e-mail from Zenimax saying they had moved her to the nearby dock for me. Sure enough it was fine but had to do that battle at sea thing again - AFTER I respec'd to the other morph for that bow skill!

Unna just reached level 40, and Fort Amol. Since the quest line gets a bit vague t that point, she decided that since we were almost in the Rift, why not peek across into the next zone. So she ran off and found Autumn's Gate, the house in the North-west corner, and she wants to buy it. We haven't furnished any of the other houses we bought yet, but that doesn't matter.

She was probably jealous of Laurie getting Twin Arches. We acquired that as somewhere appropiate to put the "Redguard Bed, Wide" for which we found a plan. Laurie has the skills to make it, but we opted to make bunks for the Inn room with most of our Pitch, and there isn't enough left over for that. (And having a need for it will stop it dropping from refining or writs).

I've also been creating Altmer over on the PTS, in preparation for Taminwe coming to the party when the Update 17 hits. When the last patch hit, I lost all characters that had been copied there, so it seemed the logical thing to do.

I miss the original login music. I miss the way it began the moment the game booted up instead of at the actual login screen.

Anyway, did some prep work to figure out what's getting stashed away and in what way. I'll have access to seven of the eight boxes right away so I have so many options. Aside from the mailbox, there's a universal wardrobe full of regular clothes, a crafting material chest with stuff set aside for a full set of armor and weapons for the Squad,and just plain storage for armor sets I'll probably never use lol

Trey mostly did achievement hunting in Rivenspire and Stormhaven- as well as dealing with the impending political crisis involving Duchess Lakana and the Knights of the Flame.

Just took at the last lurking Obsidian Scar boss (a group kindly invited him for that bit of the run), so that closed out the Rivenspire Cave Delver Achievement. On the other hand, Magdalena the Hag destroyed him in about 3 seconds- so he will need to group up if he wants to visit her house again....

Since I'm trying to keep Laurie Craft's crafting in step with Unna's playing level, she needed some more skyshards for her crafting skills. Having exhausted Glenumbra, we did a few just into Stormhaven.

Unna went off into zones unknown collecting on the surveys, using Twin Arches as a stepping stone into Bangkorai, for example, and riding across Wrothgar, and Eastmarch to enter the zones beyond. She made sure to find any wayshrines on the way, so next time will be easier.

We now have decent stocks of most materials for the whole crew, although Jute seems to keep running out, because we get rawhide back more often, and two-thirds of the writs are for homespun. Alchemy can also be a problem, with multiple characters on the same level all needing the same samples, which aren't "random" at all. When one needs to turn in 3 blessed thistle, they all do.

Still saving up for Autumn's Gate - we have over 40,000 of the 60,000 needed, and everyone's pitching in. Spreads has looked at Humblemud, but wants to wait for something much larger.

Ooh, what is the criteria for access to the boxes? What mailbox? A wardrobe of regular clothes? WOO HOO!!!

I thought of using a box for gathering different sets; since some of the pieces of some sets don't even include the name of the set! (Example: Rattail Ring or necklace is actually part of the Toothrow set, etc).

I would like to pull all those furnishings out of my bank so I actually have the 480 slots to play with in the bank.

And maybe for those regular armor sets have one chest for all Tanking sets; one for all Light armor sets; one for all PvP sets; monster sets; trial sets; etc. I winder if we will be able to name the chests?

By the way, did anyone else notice that the 1/22 maintenance patch notes said it was just a security certificate = but the size of the download was 95 Megabytes? WTH kind of security certificate is that big?

That would be all the software that uses the certificate. The certificate itself is held somewhere else, where it's safe from tampering.

Ja, Khajiit believes this was the small patch they mentioned in the outfits and combat ESO Live shoe a few weeks ago. No content to it just security certificate, whatever that is.
