Today In Tamriel, ESO Character Updates and Stories Options

[Grits]

Here's a place where you can post your character's adventures in whatever manner you see fit, from the briefest location report to in-character journals and stories. I'll start with a very short update.


Jerric is headed from Bal Foyen all the way back up to Bleakrock Village to check on the villagers and Captain Rana. Unusually for him he is not sure how to get there, other than north. (He blames the ash.)

During the last attack Jerric chose to defend the civilians in the hope that Captain Rana and her group could hold the docks long enough without him. It seems that they did because his position was not overrun from that direction during the fight, but he has a bad feeling just the same. By now they should have returned home. He just needs to see it before he can move on.

Darnand walked from Daggerfall to Wayrest to turn in a supply writ today, and he was not pleased about it. He was pretty safe as long as he stayed on the road. He collected a bunch of orange and red quests on the way and then rode a wayshrine back to Daggerfall. Darnand is more interested in making staves and enchantments than exploring High Rock. Also the Daggerfall Mages Guild library is glorious, so he likes to hang out there more than in the various villages that are besieged by undead/on fire/infected by mysterious plagues. I think he would be happier if he had his own horse. Bill the white pony is nice, but he’s not Banner.

Jerric found an Altmer motif book and gave it to Darnand (who is the gang’s wood crafter) (because, staves), so now Jerric has a very nice Altmer-style shield that actually looks the right size for him. Darnand gave it the trait that increases its armor rating. Now he’s working on the right enchantment to go on it. Of course Jerric already has the shield so Darnand will have to give him the glyph instead of enchanting it himself, which is kind of his thing. Next time he will make the glyph before the shield so that Jerric can’t steal his big moment.

Fun tip, you can deconstruct and learn traits of items that are stored in the bank. This means it is easier to trade items between characters for crafting and research purposes, but also easy to accidentally deconstruct the stuff you thought you stashed safely away. Oops.

Yes, I think this is not supposed to happen - if you take the writ in Daggerfall it should be turned in at the Daggerfall docks from everything I've read on the subject.

The first writs Bubba did were all turned in at the docks in Daggerfall like they should be, right up till yesterday morning - then suddenly yesterday afternoon he was told to take it to Wayrest! And if you look at the Daggerfall map and Wayrest map, they suddenly match identically.

I think someone screwed up something there, but ... not really sure, so had Bubba sign out for the day till I find out, since I really have no idea if he should even be in Wayrest right now (or how to get there, etc).

So if it turns out that he is really supposed to, I guess I'll have him do it. But if that happens to either the Sorceress or Dragon Knight girls, they will not do those writs, they can't travel outside of their safe town areas without dying every step of the way.

Yeah, I stick all the items to be researched in the bank so all characters do their researching (and horse feeding) as their first order of the day.

The best glyphs I've seen in game are the ones you get for doing those Writs, they are Awesome !!!

On the homefront, Misa went fishing and caught two rare trophy fish and a sack of runes at her first fishing hole!

Earlier she had been stretched out relaxing in the sun after a big battle while I fixed myself lunch, and when I returned a male Khajiit was kneeling beside her - scared me to death; I thought she was being attacked!

So I ran to the PC and jumped her up; it turned out to be Maiq! So she talked to him, and he hung around and talked to her for so long that she finally got dressed and left; but not before getting a lot of great screenshots of him, lol.

I finally uploaded my screens of Bubba in The Arabian Nights Stros M'Kai - that place is the most gorgeous of any I've ever found in any game.

And I got some shots of Calia Lia on the beach in the Aldmeri. Once I'm caught up with all the posts I missed on here I'll def be posting some of those screens.
