Exactly. She likes pretty bling but not hagraven style bling. Lol.

Lol, I suppose it requires a... unique... sense of taste to appreciate hagraven style bling.

For those who may have missed it, there's a free pet available this month - you just have to opt in to marketing emails to get the crown store code for it. More info here.

New crown crates are out. We found a fun new hairstyle in the "Superior Rewards" section for 16 gems. We had 17 so we grabbed it. It has a Cap'n Jack Sparrow vibe, but I think it works really well on Brenna.

Front

Back

Hopefully y'all can see it well enough with those pics.

Wow, that hair really sets that scene with the Crow Mother in the background!!! That pic from the front is totally Brenna in some Reachman ritual!

I only had 7 gems left; so went ahead and bought the 15 crates package. Didn't get the hair; but I did get two emotes and a new pet mountain goat. I like the Sacred goat better; but for some reason my Sacred goat stopped bleating! Can't have a non-bleater pet following me! (and now I have 102 gems to spend, lol).

The cool renaissance style hats are weird though. Your hair completely disappears when you preview them. With all the hats they have that don’t do this, it’s strange that these do. They don’t appear to be constructed any differently.

They did that on Misa too. She won one in a crate; and as cute as the hat would be = won't be worn since it makes my females bald. Now...Malan IS bald; so he might not mind, lol.

I agree on the hats!

Buffy previewed the Captain Jack Sparrow hair. It was brown on her. Oh well.

It changed to red for Misa; but ... just didn't look right on her.

The Midyear Mayhem PvP event runs June 25 - July 7.

Here's the link for more info: https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/58421

Highlights for me are double AP and event tix. Here's a snip from the above link about tix:

During the Midyear Mayhem event, you can earn up to four Event Tickets per day by completing two different PvP activities:
Two tickets for completing any Cyrodiil or Battlegrounds daily quest
Two tickets for completing any Imperial City district daily quests

The Event Ticket timer resets at 1:00AM EDT each morning. Note that if you earn new Event Tickets over the 12-limit cap, you’ll lose them. Good thing there’s plenty of things to spend them on at Impresario vendor during the event:
Second Legion Outfit Style pages (can’t be traded)
Zero Legion Outfit Style pages (can’t be traded)
Standard-Bearer Emotes
Group Repair Kits
Icebreath Berries (including Bloom, Budding, Growth, and Ripeness)
Indrik Feathers
Rimedusk Indrik pet

Ew, PvP. No thanks.

[haute ecole rider]

It's not so bad - go early in the morning when Cyrodiil numbers are low and stay away from the battle zones and you'll do fine!

I've gone with a few members of my housing guild - we've wanted certain furnishings or certain achievements, and we've blasted each other, all in good fun! Since I have three toons in each of the three alliances, there's no shortage of willing souls to head out. The best thing? PVP doesn't damage your armor!

Lately I've been going out with Grits and getting some of the solo side quests in Cyrodiil - all good experience for those of my toons who need to level up alliance skills for certain builds. I still fail to understand why good PVE builds call for PVP skills, but there you go . . .

[Acadian]

Buffy has all the Alliance skills she wants so the only time she goes to Cyrodiil is during the double AP event. Repairing walls/doors actually earns slightly more AP than is spent on repair supplies so quite a bit of AP comes from that - slow and safe. She monitors zone chat and if there is a keep capturing group running, she will sometimes join them - and be terrified the entire time. When playing as a healer variant, she earns her keep and survives pretty well, generally getting no kills though. When playing as an archer variant, she uses her group to protect her and manages quite a few ranged kills. She make no provisions at all for PvP as far as skills/gear goes so, not surprisingly, if caught by herself among foes, her survival rate is zero.

And honestly, the only reason she goes to Cyrodiil at this point is silly vanity. She likes having a few pretty stripes under her name as she runs around . . . even though calling her a PvP paper tiger would be quite overselling herself. Oh, and she wants event tickets for the Impresario's shoppe.

[ghastley]

The double AP will interest Kemel Al-Satakalaami, who wants his caltrops, and Fleur on EU, who will do her training visit to Cyro and hope to reach Vigor. All the rest is not for us. If pushed, it's BG for preference, as you get 7.5k (doubled to 15k) credit for coming in dead (literally) last.

I'm disappointed there are no Imperial furnishings at the Impresario. That would be one of the few things worth getting tickets for.

[hazmick]

I used to enjoy PvP with Haa-Rei, just sneaking around to do quests and such and occasionally helping to defend keeps.

Ciri needs to get the vigor skill, so this event seems like the best time to jump in for a little while. That Indrik mount is also a good incentive.

[Acadian]

Buffy wound up her objectives for Midyear Mayhem a few days ago so I missed that the end of the event was extended by a day until 10:00AM EDT on Wed July 8.

Midyear Mayhem sounds like professional wrestling.

Midyear Mayhem sounds like professional wrestling.

That's more or less exactly what it is. The event focuses on the game's one player vs player zone, trying to lure those of us with little or no interest to join in.

Picked mine up!

[ghastley]

Picked it up on both NA and EU servers. It's one per account/server, so you can have two! But of course the contents can't be transferred between the servers.

Another reason to create an EU character (and join the EU copy of the guild).

[TheCheshireKhajiit]

Meh, not really much for me to get excited about, tbh.

Summerset Event coming up July 23 - Aug 4. Reward boxes for daily delve, WB, geyser or Cloudrest trial quests. First one of those dailies each day gets you three event tix. More details here: https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/58487

I went over for a quick skyshard or two from the delves, and all the coffer rewards were Thieves Guild treasures. Anyone get anything useful?

[Acadian]

Buffy's been doing one daily per day for the 3 tix. She prefers the WB dailies to the delve dailies in Summerset since the WB's are so heavily attended now. The only bit of loot of note she recalls is a motif page for Wleykynd(?) hands.

Though not a housing fanatic, she's pleased that the Impresario is offering some nice furnishings along with the Snowhawk outfit style. She just chuckles over what seems to be the neverending indrik of the month stuff.
