Post any tips and tricks you have for those new to or those looking to improve the ESO experience.


One of my tips:

Unless you're super dedicated to the stealth playthrough in RPG's, don't use the nightblade class. It's horrible. May improve with the release of the Dark Brotherhood DLC but I'm unsure.

Rosa, you can guess why Jerric is a fan of it!

mALX, I suspect that they will eventually change the way they have re-done resource nodes. I liked being able to collect materials for the next level of gear while adventuring so that my crafters can have a set ready as soon as someone levels up. For example Aninah has been collecting Hide while wearing Rawhide from adventuring in the next area. Now she will have to wait until she can wear the new stuff before she can find the mats for it, but on the plus side she will find Leather and Cotton wherever she is as soon as she’s able to wear it.

Crafting for friends will be an issue. It will be easy for the friend to collect their own crafting materials and pass them to the crafter, but surprise gifts are going to be hard to pull off once everyone works through their materials stash. Maybe players will use Guild banks more to offer free deconstructible gear for mats instead of selling it for practically nothing.

I hope you are right and that they rethink that. I think they are doing this to press for more "Plus" memberships so people will have the space to stock up mats for various levels in their "Crafting Bag of Holding."

But you are right, it totally effects being able to make a nice gift of armor for someone without asking them to provide the mats - then it isn't a gift anymore, what good is that?

"I'll give you a gift, but only if you give me the stuff to make it with...."

I'd feel like a jerk saying something like that! I've already written a scathing letter to them voicing my opinion on their latest list of "improvements."

What I plan to do if they go through with that is to start sending one of my Alts out for mats. Britta - she is like level 11. Calia of Daggerfall (another alt because she grunts and I don't like playing her and hearing it) - can gather for the next level.

I can push Bubba up to the third level to gather; and (Formerly Pantsless but now Topless) Calia of the Aldmeri can grow some and handle the next level above Bubba. Anything above that would be champion level; and Misa should be able to handle.

I'll put them all to work gathering mats at various levels and make a fortune selling them in the Guild Stores, BWAAHAA!!

But it most def will hinder my ability to just spontaneously make a gift for someone - like last night, a very new to the game girl stopped Misa in Davon's Watch and asked about her new armor (screens and stats later) - it takes knowing 5 traits, so I stopped what I was doing (nothing) and made her a set spur of the moment.

Those early materials have always been easy to gather in Stonefalls - and the low level runes to enchant them with too. I can't imagine giving someone unenchanted armor/weapons; so it isn't just the mats I'd need to gather; but runes too. And I wonder if the low level tempers to improve it will become unavailable too! So what, I have to give out white level armor now? Grrrrrr.

Yeah, this is one of those just plain stupid ideas some of these developers just need to be smacked down over. And giving a high level player some low level mats as a reward for doing writs thereby forcing them to do writs if they want them? - every time I heard him say that in the vid it made me want to write them another scathing letter, lol.

If worse comes to it, I'll start another character just to get supplies to Misa for crafting before I'd ever charge a friend for a gift by making them gather the mats.

Armor traits and awkward first dates:

The Bosmeri lass opened her tree-bole’s front door to find her blind date grinning nervously down at her. She sighed. He was a Nord.

“Hi, I’m Jerric. Pleased to meet you. Here, I brought you a gift. It’s boots of Well-Fitted. And a belt of Well-Fitted. And also would you consider wearing this Well-Fitted hat? Uh… no reason.�


I am a fan of having many characters at all levels, so I will be OK with the changes. I can see how other folks will have trouble, though. People with limited time are not going to love making new characters and getting them to certain levels just so that they can be generous to their friends, but I know some will still go to the trouble. Maybe the writs stashes will make up the difference.

On the plus side the first-tier stuff will be super easy to get at all levels for non-crafters since it will make up 50% of everywhere, so it will still be easy to craft for new players. By the time new folks get to the second tier, hopefully they will have caught on to the crafting mechanics and know to gather their own mats. Still, the proposed system will not suit everyone. Maybe it will get another tweak.
