Jerric is in Shor, having perhaps a more typical day. Ganked while talking to a quest-giver, ganked again (same player) while turning in the quest. It's his fault for not wanting to mess with his build. He has zero points in health at the moment.

He tried the non-CP campaign but really felt the difference. He couldn't keep up his regular pace in fights and got frustrated.

I've found this out for sure. Cyrodiil is Jerric's home. Even though a lot of it is messy, he absolutely loves riding through the hills with no one around. I might have to dust off an Xbox and see if there's an Oblivion save tucked away somewhere.

Due to me traveling a lot, Jerric hasn't gotten his 5 crates daily reward yet. I think that's tonight. He's trying to decide who is lucky and let them open the crates. Lil got a Psijic camel in the last batch. He can't decide if that is lucky or unlucky.

Brenna is still wrecking her way through Coldharbour. She is about to investigate the Manor of Revelry northwest of The Orchard.

I have missed a quest or two up there and can't find it. You know how when you finish a quest in Coldharbour that the people move into the houses there? Well, there are two houses no one is in; and I am sure at least one of them is supposed to have someone in it = the "House of Darkness."

Do you know what quest I'm supposed to do to put someone in that house?

mALX, Khajiit looked on UESP and found something that might help you:
http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Cliffs_of_Failure
Says the characters you seek can be found at the Cliffs of Failure.

Ooh, Thank you very much!!! If that is attached to the main questline, I really can't imagine how I missed it! I appreciate you finding that for me, thank you!

This one thinks it’s a side quest. Khajiit knows the location they speak of and it is well off the beaten path.

Attached only in the sense that the Hollow City stuff is required for the MQ to progress. You're told to rescue as many FG/MG people etc. as possible, but only the Ayleid King and Vanus Galerion are needed. All those rescues are side-quests, from that point of view, or part of "The Army of Meridia" from another.

I think I did that on one character, just like I only did the Graveyard of Ships on one of them.

Oh, okay! That actually helps. I wonder if it will still work after Molag Bal is gone? I'd like to have another house to loot up there, lol.

Thank you both so much for your help!

[ghastley]

I'm sure you can do those quests after defeating Molag Bal, because I did so on the way to a crafting survey. Whether the results are the same, I can't tell you, because I didn't check.

Let us know what you find out!

And @Grits, getting a mount is always lucky, because it blocks out one more slot in the collection, and so makes gems more likely.

Yeah Brenna is currently trying to finish up all of those loose ends before the final push to “stop” the Planemeld. She just helped the Argonian pirate, One Eye, “recruit” a new crew at the ship graveyard and helped a Vampire leader free her kin from the shackles of Bal.

That is the exact same feeling I got when Misa was riding through Cyrodiil. It wasn't actually HER home, she was from Morrowind. But it was mine, I had lived in Cyrodiil for so many years through Maxical and Oblivion. I could feel it riding over the familiar areas and seeing the familiar names of places = absolutely loved it. Every time I go down there, I get hooked on the place all over again.

If you want to spend a lot of time down in Cyrodiil, it may pay you to make a log of all your skills/attributes/champion points/Mundus/armor/weapons = and once you have a solid log of his build on paper = spend the gold to reset everything for a PvP build. When you get a really good PvP build going on, log that whole build just like you did the first one. That way, for about 20,000 gold you can alternate back and forth between builds every time you are going to go down and spend time in Cyrodiil. It is worth it to do that if you want to spend a lot of time down there. (but don't want to lose your awesome PvE build).

Oh, that is good to hear! I learned there are three different outcomes for who ends up living in that house when you are done; but two of them didn't sound great for future looting, lol.

I really love those quests up there!

I love anything that turns me into a monkey, lol. Thank you Clockwork City and Summerset Isles, and...wasn't there one in the Daggerfall main questline too?

Not sure about Daggerfall Covenant but all of the factions get one in Coldharbour

Yes, I hated to see those Vile Lab quests end! They really did some interesting quests in this game, I love a lot of them.

Flippin’ interwebz is apparently down here. Brenna may not get to finish her Coldharbour adventure today.

[ghastley]

My crew has been preparing to outfit Blossom in her CP160+ gear. However, we didn't have enough materials, and Medium Armour has the minor disadvantage that the nodes you need to harvest fight back. Since it was Blossom's responsibility to do the gathering, she found herself in the Catch-22 situation of needing better gear to gather the the leather for her better gear.

Fortunately for her, the others managed to get a few Clothier Surveys from their daily writs, and Blossom can handle a Furrier's Trap much more easily than a group of angry senche. So we'll be assembling her outfit real soon. She's a dual-axe stamplar, so we're looking at Hunding's Rage as the crafted set, with everything Divines and probably enchanted for max stamina, or maybe some regen. Is it worth having a piece of Heavy and a piece of Light until those skills max out?

[Acadian]

The reason to equip your stam girl in 5 med, 1 heavy and 1 light is to optimize the top level perk for the undaunted which gives you +2% to all three attributes for each type of armor you have equipped. Hence, the popular use of 5/1/1/ = +6% to all three attributes.

I'm assuming this is your objective. That said, I'd keep her in 5/1/1 from the start so you she can level up all three armor skills and eventually take all perks for medium and the perks for heavy/light that don't require equipping 5 pieces.

Though it takes time, undaunted can be pretty safely leveled up by doing daily undaunted delve quests. Pledges can speed that up (with lots more risk), so can grouping up and sharing undaunted delves.

Actually the bolded part was the immediate thought, as Undaunted is only just begun. With Unna, I'd maxed both Medium and Heavy and got all the passives, just by being undecided. Laurie started in Medium and switched to Heavy as she developed too much of a tank style playing solo, so she'd got a lot in both, too, and we had to grab a lot of skyshards to rebalance her skills from one to the other.

Blossom was medium/dual-wield from the beginning but has mainly done crafting so far, and is rather short of skill points. She has so many skills in the combat lines waiting for the points, because she's been spending them all in crafting. That makes risky pledges even more so, as she has some catching up to do.

The good news for her is that she's in the middle of the Bangkorai quests, and so will be well-placed for collecting some Spriggans' Thorns pieces.

I almost forgot to log in to my PS4 account and get the 5 Crown Crate daily reward! Jerric had the crew’s newest member Anuk-set-amun open them. I think that there really is something to the luck number theory. Two of the crates had a fifth card. She got the Psijic horse and one of those leveling scrolls that gives a bunch of gems, plus other stuff including two of the Psijic gauntlets. Too bad I only play on that account for a few minutes at night while I wait for the dog to fall asleep.

Someone who does writs in Mournhold every morning has the green gummy senche mount. It looks weirdly awesome. While I like seeing some of the odd getups in town, it’s always nice to get out into the countryside where the strangest thing you will see is a bot train.

ghastley, do you still need Rubedo Leather for Blossom? I have a bunch I don’t need. Jerric kills a lot of things, and over time it piles up.

[ghastley]

Blossom now has her Hunding's, so we don't need it right now. She's looking for Sprigann's Thorns pieces for the rest, but the Dolmens have been dropping Vampire Lord instead. We'll do some delves for skyshards this weekend in Bangkorai, and see where that gets us. And we must remember to get/make new axes. Now you can morph weapons in the Outfit station, it doesn't matter what they really look like.

The skyshards will mostly go to completing her crafting skills. She's at Level 50 in some that she hasn't advanced the main passive to 10/10. She needs that for the writs. I'm also trying to get her to use a bow more, but she's an axe-murderer at heart.

Unna is miffed that the Fang Lair motif release was messed up. Now it will be even longer before she gets the chest chapter she wants for her outfit. Getting it the hard way will be tough, and the market won't stabilize until everyone's bought the Crown Store books.

Laurie will probably want to commission some nirnhoned staves, as she's running out of other traits in wood. We'll have to check our supply of Nirncrux, and maybe go prospecting in Craglorn.

Damn it, why did Khajiit wait till after the Daggerfall Covenant main quest to start the 5 Companions main quest for Brenna?

[TheCheshireKhajiit]

Ok Brenna has blasted her way through the 5 Companions main quest and is about to go to Sancre Tor. These quests are so much easier post lvl 50!

Good job, Brenna!

[TheCheshireKhajiit]

Good job, Brenna!

Seriously, she swats Daedra aside like so many flies while Mira had real trouble with these quests.

[TheCheshireKhajiit]

Brenna wrapped up the 5 Companions main quest and reclaimed her soul. Now she has jumped headfirst into the Aldmeri Dominion alliance quests for Cadwell’s Silver.

We are also experimenting with her outfit trying to find a suitably witchy look using motifs that look like they belong in the Dominion. Let us know if you have any suggestions!
