Don't wait for me. I'm having other problems logging in to ESO and Discord, because they both see the new IP address and send a confirmation email to the US email address I can't reach from here. I've protected myself too well.

Just remember the screen shots.

And...after complaining that Starfield was running extremely hot, turns out it might not ENTIRELY have been Starfield's fault. The fans on my liquid cooling system have stopped working due to the ball bearings wearing out, and after speaking to the manufacturer, I've had to order a new liquid cooling system... So that's me offline until the weekend! (hoping I'm not missing anything, especially exciting in the daily rewards!)

Sorry to hear that, Burnt. I hope the new cooling system gets you gaming again soon.

Just back from the NA meeting. Grits, Gosse and I spent the first part doing the Direfrost Keep pledge. Then we sat around the guild hall swapping stories, dancing, drinkng and playing music. And, of course, I only remembered about taking screenshots after it was over. . . .

Sorry everyone; my husband had complications from surgery and was not doing too well these last few days. He is (finally) doing better now, (thank goodness). If we do any Meets on alternate weeks to make up for all the people out on this week's; I will hopefully be able to do those alternate ones.

@ Ghastley = GAAAAAAH!!!! I actually went through this when I moved too; and places like Steam had backup plans that really helped for these situations = but ZOS didn't. It took me A LONG time to get them to straighten it out; and finally I had to tell them I was upgrading my Plus membership to a year before they miraculously figured out how to verify it was me.

@ Burnt = Aw, really sorry about your cooling system! Lucky the heat didn't fry your graphics card; glad you caught that in time!

Reminder of guild meetings this Mon and Tues. Buffy is looking forward to attending the NA one.

I'll be missing these two too. I don't get back to the USA until the 7th.

And yet...



After almost 3 weeks of being offline due to a knackered cooling system and it turns out a fried graphics card, I am now back online with a sparkling new cooling system and a shiny new 4080 making everything look pretty

(I'm going to miss having money)



EU back a week to the...erm...10th? You'll be back in the US by then, and no doubt (well, possibly) itching to get that oh-so-sweet ESO fix...

I don't have a dog in the EU fight for consideration but I can easily do the NA meeting on either Tues the 3rd or a week later on Tues the 10th.

Next week works for me.

Since we don't have much time, let go ahead and call it: Roll both meetings one week.

EU meeting normal time on Mon Oct 9.
NA meeting normal time on Tue Oct 10.

I'll let mALX and Gosse know of the change.

Oh no!!! I was worried over your graphics card as soon as you mentioned the overheating. Awww, really sorry you had that happen! The new card sounds great though; I am suitably drooling over it right now!

And yeah; that is def a chunk of money for that one, lol.

On the Guild Meets:

Next week would actually work better for me too; that will be great!!!

Yes, I am back in the USA, and bought Necrom at half price. So there will be a n00b Orcanist at the EU meet. I will hold off from creating a NA one for a while, as I have plans that depend on stuff that is not yet available.

Sounds good. I hope the EU'sters enjoy the meeting this evening (Mon). Looks like the NecroEvent will still be going.

Buffy looks forward to the NA meeting tomorrow (Tues). The event will be over by then though.

Yay! I plan to be there for both nights.

With Update 40 a week away, I have started gathering materials for the Voucher drive. I reckon that Jewelry writs will be the best bang for the buck, so I have all my characters doing the daily writs to get Iridium and the Master writs, too. I'm holding off on doing the surveys until the update drops, as that is supposed to fix the chance of double returns, so all my Iridium is coming from the writs, not refining.

EU doesn't have enough sets to make the Master Tables useful, but NA certainly does, and we need to work out how to minimize mALX's effort. My idea is to send her individual mails of a single writ and materials to do it. I.e. for a typical 28-voucher Jewelry writ that would be 10 or 15 Platinum ounces, 2 Terne Platings, 3 Iridium Platings, and whatever Trait material it needs. That way she doesn't need inventory space for more than the writ itself.

I'll only send Healthy/Robust/Arcane/Protective/Infused writs as the other Trait mats are hard to get. I probably have enough of those now. Platinum and Terne are in good supply, and it's only Iridium I need to chase. I only have about 12 platings so far (from writs), and the total needed will be 65 for the four tables (=650 after the U40 upgrade). That's for 215 writs @ 28 vouchers each, using 3 Platings per. If anyone else has surplus Iridium let me know.

Note that 28 is approx. They range from 26 to 30. 6000/28 is not quite 215.

Fleur will not say no to EU contributions, but the sets we don't have would take about 50k vouchers, even before the Master tables to feed into, and we're not short of space/slots.

Sounds like a great plan to me, ghastley. Buffy's been saving high payoff writs that she has all the mats for. Your idea of perhaps sending one in game PM per writ - all self-contained with one master writ and required mats for it sounds like a good way to make it less painful for mALX. It will take a bit of coordination with mALX to ensure we don't overload her mailbox.

I think that's a great plan. I have writs and surveys piling up a bit on the NA server, less on EU. I'll check with mALX and ghastley before I send the ones that need motif knowledge. There's one crafting item that I know I'll need to build up a supply: perfect roe. Good news, time to go fishing!

Fleur has done a bunch of Jewelry writs, and bought the Grand Master station for Jewelry, installed it at Hunding’s and fed it the dozen or so individual ones. We've used it to do another of the Master writs. It will be a long time before we get the next, as we don’t have the writs. Wait a moment, I've been putting them in the Guild Bank, I'll pull those back out.

On NA, Laurie sent a mail to mALX with a writ plus ingredients. Just one, as a test of the method.

Grits sent 400 vouchers of writs on EU just before I logged off, so had to do those. Fleur left off tonight at 1350 vouchers, with 15 blue writs to do after some surveys tomorrow.

Edit: Woodworking Grand Master is in on EU. Of course, we only have 16 of 77 sets, but ...

Just started sending writ kits to mALX and got disconnected after ten of them. I hope I don’t get banned for spamming!

Just answered a call for assistance from mALX, and she has all four tables already! Just having issues with feeding them, as the button looks inactive before you click it. Now she just has to pick up 300+ tables and feed them, and then consider the move back to Hunding’s. Apparently a second player can’t share the work, at least not at the same time, or I’d be doing that now.
