Today In Tamriel, ESO Character Updates and Stories Options

[Acadian]

Yes, we are hoping to welcome Rader at our next guild meet. No worries on that world boss; we have folks that run the gamut from being able to solo that big crab to needing to stay safely at range. As I've said, we're really low key, mostly social as a guild.

Monkey, your InventoryWritMotif management makes my head spin. Lol. Buffy the sorc does our durable crafting and Buffy the templar does the consumables. That is working out well for us.

Khajiit, congrats to Mira! She looks wonderful in her golden saint armor!

Thanks Acadian! Too bad it doesn't really fit Mira's style but Khajiit couldn't resist playing with the colors on it! This one was a little surprised you could make the Golden Saint Armor not golden, lol.

Spent this morning having Mira get Brenna's "war gear" together. Since Brenna will be focusing on Magicka Khajiit and Mira decided to go with staves, shirt, pants, gloves, and hat in the Seducer set (all barbaric style except for a resto staff which is Breton; frost staff is barbaric style), and epaulettes, boots, and belt in the Death's Wind set (all Barbaric style) for perhaps a little better survivability. All gear was improved to superior and we will probably enchant it all with extra health runes (except for the staves, of course).

Seducer is an excellent choice for magicka sustain. Buffy the healing templar uses that as one of her sets. As you know, Khajiit and Bosmer are not the 'industry standard' for magic characters so we have to work a bit harder.

I've quit worrying about style/motif choices so much though. With the warden tunic costume, Buffy's finally found what she's been looking for - a fantastic costume for her. Close enough to the functional Skyrim College knee length robes with pants beneath and a utility pouch on the hip.

[monkeyemoness]

Golden Saint armor is pretty neat and it DOESN'T weight exactly as much as a dainty Breton lass is capable of carrying. Let's just say going through the SI expansion in Oblivion was awful with a pure magicka Breton woman.

But I agree with Acadian, the Warden robes look pretty neat. I'm STILL on the fence about preordering but I'd do it just for the robes. idk

On the subject, today I ALMOST got the expansion since it was going for a discount on a certain website, but the site isn't listed on Zenimax's official retailers so I decided not to risk it. This may or may not be my first full price purchase tbh. Not even the base game was bought at full price. (I confess, I only got it because I had a discount coupon that would expire. Glad I bought it though.)

Instead, I got Eolan to check in on the Spirit Wardens and investigate the disappearance of some of Azura's followers. For once he thought it was a good idea to include Hates and Jo, but not like it made the questing any less tedious. There was only one Azura Crystal, you see. In the end they did gain valuable information to be better prepared for whatever vague threat Hates' been warned about since she gave Molag Bal a black eye.



Also Eolan finally got the Grandmaster Harvester achievement and can buy his own crafting harvester decorations now. Yes, I'll eventually do the quest with the rest of the Squad, it's just so. LONG.

Khajiit does like the Warden robes. Unfortunately it doesn't fit the style of any of his current characters (like the Golden Saint armor). Acadian, have you posted a pic of Buffy in the new robe?

I haven't yet posted a pic of Buffy in her warden robes. She keeps re-dying it on me! I'm sure I will soon though even though it may have its coloring changed as often as Buffy changes her hairstyle.

Ugh, Khajiit knows exactly what you mean. We changed the coloring on Mira's armor half a thousand times before deciding on her current color scheme of white, wine, and black. Feng Do on the other hand looked good right away in black, red, and gold. Brenna seems to be fine with a drab white, black, and toupe (except for on her normal clothes, for which she prefers the colors of her namesake bird).

monkey, I love that Ruben is coming into his own. Congrats to Grandmaster Harvester Eolan!

Khajiit, congrats to Mira! And also to Brenna on her new war gear.

Acadian, Darnand feels the same way about the Warden costume for exactly the same reason. That outfit is the mage adventure-wear he has been waiting for. I love that the dye system makes a wardrobe out of one costume!

[monkeyemoness]

It's more of a "Today in Oblivion", but I recently learned while going through the ruin in Oblivion that I know Garlas Agea better from ESO than I do there. Could be that I avoid most ruins in the Gold Coast in Oblivion, but still. It also looks better in ESO. :V

Anyways, I also learned that the Missing Prophecy quest is slightly less tedious when playing with a DPS instead of a Tank, as with most other content. Blegh. Let's see how Hates performs in the new patch. Jo' is still a walking death machine as far as delve mobs go.

Oh, I love the Gold Coast - it wonderfully captures that beautiful Kvatch - Anvil area that I enjoyed so much in Oblivion.

Buffy is doing very well after the nerfipatchchanges. Whether she puts on her magsorc or magplar outfit that morning she is getting along fine. Magsorc did Craglorn after the patch while Magplar did Wrothgar. No real problems.

Glad to hear that Jo is still doing well also.

[monkeyemoness]

Out of everyone in the Squad, I was right about Hates being the one that was most affected by the patch, since her playstyle is just spamming skills until a thing is dead. I say most affected but really it isn't THAT big a deal.

Regular mobs go down the same as always, even without starting with a sneak attack. In longer fights like bosses she'll need to weave in a few power attacks or she'll find herself out of stamina faster than before, even with food buffs.

'Course, this is your run-of-the-mill overland exploration, but then I don't do a lot of other content when it doesn't offer things like motifs. Let's see if Eolan can still solo a rank I Dungeon now. If I'm right..it'll still take forever.

[RaderOfTheLostArk]

ESO launcher was being finicky last night so I was not able to jump on that. But a couple days ago I rescued Sai Sahan from the Halls of Torment with Lyris. Think I might just run around in one of the Pact zones to look for some quests before delving further into the Pact or main questlines.

Looking forward to meeting you all in real-time tomorrow!

And so Jo'zira weaves the fate of Fjotreid Rat-Smasher (working name) into his and his companions' own. Without Hates' permission. Whoops.

Translation: I got Morrowind and I'm starting my Warden right now. Might not get farther than the tutorial, tho.

I also got around to starting a warden. After much internal debate regarding the race, personality etc. of my warden, I eventually decided to bring in a familiar character. I didn't adventure with her much over on xbox, but I'm looking forward to exploring Vvardenfell with Trivea Hlecathe.

Anyone who reads my fanfic, or remembers the Xbox ESO days, will know the Triv is supposed to be a vampire. We're working on that, but for now we'll just have to pretend.

[Acadian]

Good progress all around, I'd say!

Trivea looks just like I imagine her from your fanfic, hazmick.

Like Rader, I'm looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.

Sounds like a great dark goddess. Trivia Hecate.

[hazmick]

Dual daggers, with medium armour and a stamina focus on her warden skills.

Exactly! Before now I've mainly used her as an assassin character (she did the dark brotherhood and thieves guild quests back in Oblivion and Skyrim) but now she's going to be much more magical.
