Today In Tamriel, ESO Character Updates and Stories Options

[mALX]

ESO too. and there's a more direct quote of the Morrowind one(s) on Vvardenfell.. Probably more, but I recall doing both of those.

Aw, I had totally forgotten the one in ESO; I must have done that one back in 2015 when I first started playing it!

Heh, mead makes his clothes fall off. Kind of like Buffy around water.

Congrats to Petal!


Haha I remember Jerric's accidentally naked dungeon running. He discovered the mistake while in the Banished Cells with a random group. Whoops!

That made my whole decade; because every time I remember it = always brings a smile or laughter!

[ghastley]

Fiorello and Petal have taken advantage of the ESO plus trial to get Antiquities up to level 7 (so far) and they can now chase after a few Mythics, We have a couple of the leads alredy for RotPO, and could probably get the rest without help. Oakensoul looks possible too, but Velothi-ur needs a group. Any others I should consider in the time available?

[Acadian]

I've only dug up the leads for Oakensoul one time. For the rest of the Buffy variants, I reconstructed it. Since it is a set of one, having the ring totally fills its stickerbook = reconstruct cost of only 25 transmutes and gives you a choice of traits. Although. . . camping mudcrab beach sure is fun!

[ghastley]

Fiorello now has the RotPO, and Petal has four of the five pieces. We just need the Bangkorai chests (which are at least easy to see now) to give us the last lead. On the other hand, she has a piece of Oakensoul, and he doesn't. Both may go for the crab tomorrow, but time on the trial is running short.

Update: Petal now has RotPO too, and crab time is looking like soon.

Fiorello got one piece of Oakensoul, too, but farming the rest in the time left looks impossible. Especially twice. We can't even chase the DLC leads, and get the others after the trial ends, as they all need both Greymoor for scry/excavate, and High Isle to reach the dig sites.

Both did get Alinor Allemande, so the essentials are covered.

Because we did our daily writs before the ESO+ trial ended yesterday, we did not notice this quirk until today. The game lets you pick up Jewelry Crafting writs when you don't have the ability to use the crafting station. It does at least let you abandon them, so you're not stuck with one of your 25 quests blocked.

I was doing some end of year cleanup on the characters I had been neglecting, and found that i had fragments of the Psijic Amrosia recipe on just about all of them. Only one ot two had got the set and made the recipe. I knew we had six of the seven in the EU guild bank, so they all went there, to tidy the stacks, and convert the fragments into recipes.

Some of them made more than one, so we dropped the duplicate in the bank, in case anyone couldn't complete the set. By the time i got to Fleur, there were five recipes. She pulled out the pieces, made another with the ones she had, and dropped that in. Then I remembered that they don't auto-stack and went to pull out the six and consolidate. There was only one there.

Turned out that mALX was doing something similar at exactly the same time, and had just pulled them to learn one. I looked again and four were back. so I added the extra to the stack, and put a stack of five back in.

I just hope she didn't start thinking she was losing it when the four she put back became five again.

Made enough space by stacking to put in my hoard of duplicate blue furnishing plans. I had held off because so many Master writs were going in while the table chase was in progress. Now we have them all, the guild bank can go bank to normal, and fill up with style pages from events.

Lol, I wasn't sure on the recipes appearing and disappearing, lol.

What I ended up doing yesterday was = starting another character on the EU; which meant going into the Guild Bank and having the newbie read recipes and motifs to level her up quicker (so she can do writs, etc).

I have noticed an issue lately with the game = when my new characters go into a delve or dungeon for the first time ever; the boss is showing a white icon, as if they have already been beaten by this character. In the past; the boss was always black the first time they entered so I knew if they had been there and done that yet = now I have no way of knowing. And the map icon for the delve also turns white when I leave the delve whether I kill the boss or not; because in some of them I just grabbed the skyshard and left and the delve showed a white icon on the map later. Is this associated with the "account wide achievements?"

[ghastley]

Yes, there's an account-wide achievement for killing the boss of a delve the first time. The ones I find most confusing are the map summaries, where it may show you have only one delve not yet done, but you click/hover on the line to get a list, and they're all checked off.

I don't have boss location markers in any of the new ones, don't think my addon got updated. Annoying. The only one that shows incomplete otherwise is the group event, but even that's not reliable.

[Burnt Sierra]

Oh my. Just watched the Twitch Stream.

Sub Classes. Really want to see how that's going to work, the possibilities could be fantastic.

[Acadian]

I look forward to learning more about that. Could be good.

[Burnt Sierra]

Crown Sale now on, if anyone was waiting for it.

Also, just read the PTS Patch notes. That (perhaps unsurprisingly) is a LOT of changes to some skills and passives. Arcanist's that aren't using subclasses are going to really struggle with sustain now I suspect, assuming they don't change their changes. Going to be fascinating watching how things change over the next few weeks, think we could be in for a wild ride!

[haute ecole rider]

Already my Antiquarian's Keen Eye (good for treasure trunks) is working on Heavy Sacks! That would be super useful in those super dark dungeons!

And Castle Skingrad is on sale! Good thing crowns are also on sale . . .

[ghastley]

Went to Solstice on PTS just to get the path to the (only) craftable set station mapped out.



The question mark south of it is a WB, so the best route is to follow the road, and then cross west from the adjacent island. You get the wayshrine on the right to start with, just outside the main city.

I sent mALX the tables for NA and Fleur has almost got a set for EU.

And yes, there is only the one Set Station in Western Solstice. I expect two more when the Eastern half opens.

[ghastley]

The login rewards count finally completed the Golden Pursuit for my UK account (NA and EU) so we have the house without doing any group dungeons, PvP, ToT, or anything else we don't normally do. Main account had it weeks ago, because that one does group stuff at the guild meetings.

So as compensation, PTS now won't let me go to Solstice until I buy the pass. That will happen for my main account once the ESO+ renews and I know the change of address hasn't broken anything. Since I have a US credit card, and UK address, things could be dubious.

[Acadian]

Glad you got that house on both servers, ghastley.

Buffy's good for supplying one or two full sets of attunable tables but if I understand it, the U46 drop on Jun 7 will only include the first of three new sets? If so, we can provide those tables whenever needed so as to not clutter up mALX's perpetually full inventory/bank, lol. Can sort that out at the next guild meeting that happens before U46 anyway.

[ghastley]

Tables are all in hand, and EU meeting for June is on drop day. June 2nd, not 7th. Everything should be in place for the NA one.

I sent mALX the tables on NA in return for the Mundus Stones on EU. I should have that set complete soon, too.

Trying to make a new character into a Magicka Warden/DK/Sorc Elementalist is taking forever with the secondary classes needing two skill points at a time. He's at level 27 with the class skill lines at the same, except Warden's Winter line at 30. As this is on my UK account with only the base zones, we don't have too many available.

I don't assign CP until a character reaches 50, so he does not hit as hard as he could, adding to fight times. About to start doing Public Dungeons for the group event points. Still have most delves to get skyshards from, so we will get there eventually.

I was planning sub-classing a few of my characters. On both servers.

So far?

One on each server. It might reach two eventually, but I think that may be it

The grind is painful!


(and on a, TOTALLY unrelated note, cough, does anyone know of any good soloable grind spots that aren't absolutely SWAMPED with 6 million players? Black Rose Prison is great if you have two people, but not really soloable when trying to level up skill lines, Craglorn is the busiest I've ever seen it, Dolmen grinding is slow, boring and insanely busy... I could do with some good instanced areas. I've been doing Maelstrom Arena and Dragonstar Arena, which aren't the quickest, but I figured I may as well get some decent loot for doing them.)

[Acadian]

Three variants of Buffy are subclassing (all using Oakensoul of course):
Magsorc dropped Daedric Summoning for Animal Companions
Magward dropped Winter's Revenge for Dark Magic
Magblade kept siphoning and added Dawn's Wrath and Animal Companions

Everyone but the Magplar has a bear now!

Been grinding using Auridon dolmens and Craglorn near Spellscar WS. I wonder if IA might be a reasonable option since you're looking for no crowds?
