QUOTE(haute ecole rider @ Aug 31 2018, 10:11 AM)  So yesterday marks a new milestone for my laziest toon, Argis the Bulwark. It has been a long journey from his start on Bleakrock to the final goal - the day he finally earned the right to wear a silly hat.The first screenie is dated 1/30/17, his first day in ESO. The second is from yesterday, 8/30/18. It has taken him over a year and a half to complete his Caldwell's Grand Tour. Along the way he met new friends, gained a BFAM (brother from another mother), got a new house, and gained new experience in a different style of fighting (staves, vs. the old sword and board he used in Skyrim). Most importantly of all, he gained a new hobby. Master Angler, here he comes! *edited to fix broken link* Now I finally got to see it!! It is the hat I was sure you were talking about, but I think he looks pretty proud of that silly hat, lol. (the way he is standing, he looks like "Mr. Clean!"  Nice screenshot! QUOTE(Acadian @ Sep 1 2018, 06:16 PM)  From Rider's original (fixed) post, it works fine for me. If clicking from a quote, it does not (of course).
Aha, that was the problem. I thought I went back to Rider's, but I actually had gone back to a quote, lol. Thank you Acadian!!! ** speaking of great screenshots I don't want to miss - isn't that August's Buffy screenshot of the month? I thought I already saw that one, is it new for September?

Cat Man Dhou did a lot of dolmen train this weekend, reinforced by experience scrolls, and we've raised him from 32 to 41. Still got a lot more to do, but I can only take a certain amount of grind before I need a change.
Blossom decided she should really do the Orsinium quest line, but she's stuck at the Vosh Rahk gauntlet. Can't get through that without dying - and it hasn't helped that on several runs the switches woulodn't activate. I suspect we'll have to spam the dodge roll to survive all the ranged enemies that can fire through walls and floors.
Unna and Laurie cleared off a few of the loose ends of quests they picked up. They were getting close to not being able to take crafting writs.
Taminwe just got her Clothier up to 50, and she'd already done Woodworking. Smithing's at 47. Wizwen is getting all the decon work these days.
We bought a second storage coffer with writ vouchers, and Laurie immediately completely filled it with Master Writs she's got but can't do yet. All the ones that require more traits than she's researched, and the Nirnhoned weapon ones - we ran out of Potent, and Craglorn's only giving Fortified. She also has a Provisioning writ or two for each and every recipe she doesn't know yet.
All of which left no time for house planning on the PTS. Both Mournoth Keep and Mathiisen Manor are rather bare, but I've tried and rejected a whole bunch of ideas on the PTS. And they always decide to wipe and reload when I'm getting close to a decision.

Now my only goal is tracking down the Arena Gladiator Costume's Runebox for Lucius. I can never find one on TTC.
Is it possible for anyone to have it yet? I read that you need to collect 50 tokens from daily quests, which means it would take 50 days minimum. This is way late but I imagine people held onto those tokens since they can be used to buy the helmet, too. If not, it could explain why it took a while for the sudden "explosion" of costumes lol. Speaking of, not long after I made that post I actually DID get a hit in TTC...for 2 million gold. Gonna wait a bit for the price to fall. The price seems to be at 1.8mil right now, with 1.5 being the lowest I've ever seen. The helmet is currently at like 124k, but who knows if it'll dip that far considering it's a whole costume. == Anyways, finished the Scalecaller motif, finally. I also got Fang Lair Chests but something tells me it'll be a while before I can finish that. I also have Welkynar to do but I may never see a chapter of that any time soon given teh grind to get them lmaoThis post has been edited by monkeyemoness: Sep 4 2018, 11:14 PM

As some of you may know, Thursday (the 6th) marked Maz's second ESO anniversary/birthday. Phae, who had been blasting through her Silver, graciously agreed to take a break and let Maz have some fun. Maz had previously announced that she wanted to add to her trophy wall at Mournoth Keep. As of that moment, we only had four monster trophies - from Spindleclutch I, Banished Cells I, Elden Hollow I, and City of Ash I. We talked to some friends of ours, and Maz was able to get two separate groups together. First, Maz, Jerric Kjellingson, and Dame Buffy took on Wayrest Sewers and Fungal Grotto. It was a fun romp, and best of all, no one died. Then after a dinner break, we got together with our good friends Bear and Gray, who brought on Bree as fourth, and we took down Darkshade Caverns I, Arx Corinium, Elden Hollow II and finally, Crypt of Hearts. Ever since she first laid eyes on the place in Rivenspire, Maz has been wanting to explore that awe inspiring ruin. It was everything we thought it would be, and then some. All in all, it was a fun romp for Maz, and a chance to flex her tank/DPS muscles. What a wonderful way for an exiled Orsimer lass to celebrate the progress she has made since starting on the charming isle of Stros M'kai two years ago.

I had the same problem with that Vosh Rahk last year = to this day have never been able to survive it (with Misa, she is the main quester/achievement getter). I was considering spamming healing potions and going back there/trying again, because I really want the skill points for finishing that main quest, lol. I think the switches won't work until you have completed killing a certain number of the Vosh Rahk; because nothing I've read about it says they are glitched; and some of them that didn't work (did work after fighting off hoards of the Vosh Rahk) - but I could be wrong, I mean to this day I haven't cleared that segment of the quest, lol. Oh yeah, planning out on the PTS is the best way to figure out what you want in decorating your houses, but most definitely take screenshots whenever you have something you like, or it may not be there the next time you go.

My crew are getting to that point where they're all completing their mount training. Laurie and Blossom are done, Wizwen finishes tomorrow, Cat Man Dhou the next day, and so on. Poor Minx, being started much later, won't finish until the end of the year.
Laurie will be longer than that with her trait research, as each one takes nearly a month now. She's starting to do several writs when one does complete, and there's hope she'll find space in the writ coffer again before long. She's chasing that magic 100 Master Writs that unlocks a lot of things. I thought she'd be spending all our gold on motifs, but RNG has managed to find all the items she doesn't know enough traits for, and we have a large collection of writs for eight- and nine-traits styles, where she's got the eighth under research. Or for nirnhoned staves, as we haven't found a Potent nirncrux for weeks. We did get one nirnhoned shield writ this weekend, and bumped into Misa at the guildhall when we made it.
As well as finishing their mount training, crafting levels are accelerating. Taminwe joined Unna, Laurie, Blossom and Cat Man Dhou on equipment level 50's and Wizwen is close behind, now that everyone else is feeding her things to deconstruct. The more characters cap out, the more the next one gets in each days' round of writs. The consumable crafts are lagging a bit, mainly because you need to invest skill points to advance them, and we're not finding the time to go collect skyshards on everyone.

Happy anniversary Maz! Two years!! Time sure does fly.  Laurie wishes it would fly faster. According to UESP learning all traits takes "a minimum of 326 days, 19 hours and 30 minutes (about eleven months) to research all clothing and blacksmithing traits without the use of scrolls." We've noted that this value assumes that one starts each new research timer as soon as the previous one expires. That could be in the middle of the night, or the work day, so it's not going to happen like that. How long did Maz take?

Hmm, not sure, but about that long - she maxed out her research slots pretty quickly and kept them going. We got into a pattern where I would log in every morning and do writs, research as needed and so on. CraftStore was particularly useful for making sure we had pieces ready for Maz as soon as a slot opened up - we have a good friend who has a toon that is maxed out on all crafting traits (this was before Jewelry dropped, obviously). He kept Maz supplied with pieces when we didn't have looted pieces - most notably the nirnhoned stuff. Maz is the only one of my toons who has all nine traits researched in the three equipment crafts. She is now working on jewelry, and we are hitting the traders for pieces when she is due for a new one. Of the others, Julian, Alise and Argis have completed eight traits, and Phae is nearly there as well. The two boys Do-Rah and Stefan are about six traits down.

Be careful what you ask for. We got the trophy from Darkshade II, and now we need a new wall. That thing is HUGE!!!

Yesterday (?) Dravean finished researching Bloodthirsty, which meant that time ran out for waiting on a Swift Necklace drop. Managed to snag one at the last second, at least, so now he's begun his final Jewelry Trait to officially be a Grandmaster Crafter (for real this time). The game doesn't give you anything special for it but my brain does. By releasing the happy sauce. I've been so busy with other games I completely forgot about it lol
The crafting achievements are weird on what gets a title, what gets a dye, etc. and I'm completely miffed by the inclusion of the Summerset stuff. I'll be really jealous if that Divine Gold dye is as awesome as I suspect. But Laurie's getting close to the Unsurpassed Crafter that unlocks most of Faustina's stock, and that's enough for now.
