A thing I am glad I got to do before One Tamriel hit: discover all the Harborage locations so I can quicktravel to certain parts of other alliances that I wouldn't otherwise be able to quicktravel to.

You can no longer discover them, so at least the Squad lucked out in that regard. (I needed to get to the Auridon Outlaw's Refuge asap, okay?)

Today I got to see a guildie's Strident Spring Demense and aside from getting some ideas for my own, I felt envious of how great it look and the fact that I wouldn't be able to accomplish that level of decoration while being unsubscribed. The exterior was like a forest and the interior was basically my original plan (a heavy mix of Redguard and Khajiit. I was right, it does look great.)

Mine looks barren by comparison. :T I will steal the idea for the hammock and the crates of food, though


Every single time I have seen what someone else has done with a any of these houses = I always come away from it with some inspired idea someone else has had in furnishing them! Really one of the greatest things about multiplayer is seeing what someone else can do with the same game; like the day all the horses were mounted on the clotheslines in Mournhold (rearing up and whinnying) - I would never have thought that one up, but it was fun! laugh.gif


monkeyemoness
It really is a good thing, especially for houses like Strident Springs that only has like 3 buildings like in in the entire game so there isn't much to work with. So like any creative endeavor, reduce, reuse, recycle ideas. :V

Anyways, it took a while to get the last one since I only got 6-7 voucher writs at a time after hitting like 180, but I finally have a Second Set of IC Crafted Set stations.

Only one more set to go! But I probably won't start saving up vouchers for them till after Morrowind goes live.

DE, I still have a PS4 account. Let me know what you need, happy to help out.

Do you play primarily on PC?

What level is Jerric?

Yes, but I still play on my old account occasionally. Mostly in the afternoon. Jerric is CP421 on the PS4. He's about half that on the PC.


monkey, congratulations! That is a huge achievement. Cheering you on as you tackle set number 3! panic.gif


Pog and Elke just got enough skill points for their crafting needs this week. Now the rest will go toward filling in their skeletal builds. I planned to have them quest first and then respec, but it didn't work out that way. They are both very stubborn. tongue.gif

Haa-Rei finished up in Grahtwood last night, and even managed to take down the world boss at Thugrub's Cave. I want to get through the rest of the Dominion stuff with him but it's the 4th or 5th time I've done it all and it gets pretty boring. (not that the Dominion quests are bad, but y'know.)

Ciri has returned to crafting after a short break. She ran out of rubedite ingots, and it has taken a while for Haa-Rei to scrounge up some more. Fortunately Ciri got a blacksmith survey today so she's already built up a good stockpile of materials.

Both Haa-Rei and Cirinwe are pretty close to having all their traits learned, so we might actually be able to do some master writs soon. Hooray!
monkeyemoness
I feel you on repeating questlines. I couldn't do more than two before I was sick of it. Anyways, congrats on trait completion. Not that long ago I was free of the burden of constantly making sure I had something new to research once the timer was up. Getting pretty close to that again. Maybe the scrolls coming with update 14 will speed it up. (Still haven't decided whether I want to research Nirnhoned on my mule-crafters.)

Today I found my very first Ra Gada motif in Craglorn while casually making my way to an Enchanting survey. Wouldn't it be nice if I found one before the Crafting Monkey finished it? I haven't decided whether I'll give it to Eolan or Jo'zira but I guess if Update 14 adds the Homestead motifs to the possible Master Writ request pool, it'll be decided for me. Not going to make any real effort to get new motifs on the Squad anymore otherwise.

Also, either RNG is being kind, or the recently learned Nirnhoned traits are kicking in, or both, because I got 2 Master Writs that rewarded a reasonable amount of vouchers for what they were asking AND they were things that would conceivably be used by real players. Hell, the one Hates got is something Eolan would totally use (a Legendary, Sturdy, Breton-Style Hist Bark Shield--got like 40 vouchers). Nice. Nirnhoned and Legendary-level stuff are still the determining factor over whether or not it's like 6 vouchers or like 100, never style or number of traits needed. They really need to overhaul it but I don't see it happening any time soon.

Naryu Virian is a sassy woman...and I like it. Too bad she is an assassin. tongue.gif I like her.

My character is currently around Fort Amol, off to save King Jorunn from that Daedric poisoning thanks to his [censored] brother Fildgor. On my way to go get that vampire blood to help him, a Dunmer came running and begging me for assistance to help her Argonian friend that was bitten by some Bloodfiends. So after I finish off that Valeric fellow's father it is back to saving King Jorunn.
Acadian
Rader, sorry you're still having to wait for each post to get approved. kvright.gif I've got a big notice for the Admins to clear you (and a couple others) and I know they will - as soon as one of them show up. One of them normally pops by at least once or twice a week but I'm beginning to think they're AWOL! Lol. Anyway, thanks for your continuing patience.

So tell us more about Naryu the king-saving, vampire-hunting assassin. I'm guessing Dunmer, Nightblade, Ebonheart Pact? What server are you on? We have our own little chorrol guild on PC NA.

Appreciated, Acadian. Hopefully I get cleared soon.

Silly me, I didn't put down stuff about my character. You are correct that I am part of the Ebonheart Pact, but I am an Argonian Dragonknight. Argonian is always my primary race I play as and what my "true" main Heroes are. The name is Cincinnatus of Lilmoth (bit of a long story to the name and not entirely fleshed out yet).

I am on the PC NA server as well (initially was on PS4, but switched to PC when I got a new laptop), and I would love to join the Chorrol guild. However, I am still a scrub when it comes to figuring out how to efficiently chat with people. tongue.gif

I am at level 18 at the moment, so when I get a bit more beefed up I would be up for participating in the Alliance War. But currently I have a feeling that I'd get eviscerated if I joined it now lol.

Hey, I find Naryu attractive, what can I say? tongue.gif My character even noted that the dress she was wearing looked really good on her. Not to mention she was very helpful. I'm sure I'll see her around some more. Depending on how the Morrowind DLC goes, I'm not sure if I'll be doing that for this character. It might not suit his personality.

Oops. I thought Naryu was Rader's character. Lol. I do remember that assassin from the Ebonheart Pact now, just didn't associate the name.

Rader, PC NA! That is great news. I just sent a friend request to Cincinnatus of Lilmoth. If you don't get it, maybe try sending me one to @AcadianPaladin. Once I know we've got the names straight and on each others friends list, I'll send you an invite to join our guild. It only has chorrol folks in it (7 of us so far) and is just as laid back and friendly as the forum here. It is a social guild with no commitments or trading requirements or anything like that. Basically, we simply get together for an hour or two once a month to chat, show off costumes and such. And drink wine/mead. Last time we all actually went out and took down an outdoor world boss for fun.

Hi, Rader! Welcome!! I’m also a fan of Naryu. Jerric figures he’s probably killed way more people than her, so he’s not been bothered by her profession when he’s worked with her. I guess we’ll see what the next “chapter” brings!


I think Jerric is finally on the path to get the achievement required to buy Sleek Creek. It will probably be a surprise if he gets it done. He’s kind of lost track of why he started wandering around the AD in the first place. So many Bosmer and Khajiit to help, all happy to see his sweaty, sunburned Nordliness. Big change from when they always want to kill him in his home area. laugh.gif


EDIT: smiley fail
monkeyemoness
Oh, hey, I think I remember Raider. Don't worry about your Argonian's name, in spite of making it seem as lore-friendly as possible, mine's name is a reference to a flipping anime. :V

On the subject of Naryu, I liked her, although being voiced by Tara Strong probably played a part in that. Even if I joke that she's flipping everywhere, it's for a reason. She's really good. She also does at least one voice per race, some of them a little different than what she normally does and it's pretty refreshing tbh.

That said, I'm afraid of what Morrowind will do to her. She's shaping up to be its Serana, and though I liked her too, I really hope she doesn't become that female sidekick. I thought it'd be interesting at first when I did the Gold Coast quests with my Crafting Monkey (and I fully supported their relationship) but then I realized how...forced certain RP decisions are starting to become (like quite a bit of things in the GC quests, but I won't say anymore)

What I was getting at is, I liked teasing her in the EP questline. I wish Darien reacted the same way because I'm pretty sure he thought Hates was sincere with her flirting. She was not. I guess it's good that the scenario didn't really happen since she's EP.

Anyways, I'm running out of furnishing plans to lust after. I still have quite a few Argonian knickknacks to get and some of the more elusive Breton plans that i want (unlike the Crib, which I passed over in spite of finding it for 20k versus the 30k+ I normally see it go for), buuuut, I'm not too interested in getting them, y'know?

Hates is a very...practical person as far as home arrangements go. Mostly cause she's a miser. Eolan's place is pretty much where I want it to be, even though I'm trying to figure out how to make his pantry cat-proof. I got most Khajiit plans by now so Jo'zira won't be needing much else.

Eh, time to start saving money again, I guess. With Morrowind and the patch dropping next week I guess I gotta.

I know exactly what you're getting at. Hopefully Morrowind leans back towards EP Naryu rather than GC Naryu.



Anyhoo, it doesn't look like Haa-Rei will get the Dominion finished before Morrowind is released (I could probably do it if I did some serious grinding but eeeeh) so I think I'll just focus on saving money for stuff. I also discovered, upon loading up Lagakha the bank mule, that she still has the anniversary exp boost active. I really need to get her to finish Bleakrock and make use of that.

Accepted your friend request tonight. Unfortunately I probably won't be able to get in the game for the next week though. But on the weekend after, I'd probably be down for something.

I'd like to add some more people on here too. Feel free to shoot me a friend request, please.

Oh, I don't mean to say that my character is a goody-two-shoes. I like to describe my typical play-style as somewhat of a vigilante, to varying degrees depending on the game. But my Vestige isn't quite the Vestige type. Unfortunately for my character that is somewhat enamored with Naryu, looks like nothing is coming out of that. tongue.gif

Indeed, I remember you from the old forums, monkeyemoness. Hi!

Didn't know Tara Strong voiced Naryu, but now that I hear that I am not very surprised. She is indeed everywhere. Kind of like Nolan North and Troy Baker.

Oh, I have a lore-friendly reason for my character's name. There are just a few kinks to work out with the backstory. I'll be honest though, and say that part of the reason is that I just think Cincinnatus is a cool name and the real-world historical figure is interesting. But I do have in-universe reasons too.
Acadian
Rader, that is great! I also just sent you an invitation to our guild. Nice thing now, until one of our missing Admins shows up to pull our bot protection restrictions from your account (which include activating your PM system) you can PM me in the game if you need to. smile.gif

In the meantime, our other guild members should be able to send you friend requests (Cincinnatus of Lilmoth works).

Our next guild event is at 2:00 PM EST 5:00 PM EST on Friday June 2. Location is at our guildhall (mALX's primary residence). We'll make sure you know how to get there in advance if you need help with that. Last time we had the whole guild there but sometimes not everyone can make it. Very casual, relaxed and fun.

Hazmick has bravely (and by default) taken up the mantel of guild leader. And, as I said, mALX has ever so graciously provided her beautiful palace as our guild hall. You'll make member #8.

Today in Tamriel: finding really old screenshots and reminiscing of the time when I first started ESO. A few weeks late, since I bought it on May 5, a month late if you count the Returning Beta Tester free weekend. There were many cursed images, but I sort of like this one for one small detail. (If you know about my Skyrim characters, you'll probably find it quickly) A Baby Jo'zira

Not sure if these trifles have any place in the screenshot thread, but I figured that the post was more to talk about Jo'zira's makeover and do midnight blogging about my time in ESO so here it is.

I think I got something I like so far. Sure the fur looks like cheetos, but it's as close as I'll get to "caracal."

At the time I couldn't decide between ice blue or deep blue. Most likely going with the former. I sort of like his face so I'm not doing anything to it. i also discovered his shoulders (the torso setting) were as narrow as possible. Khajiit have very broad shoulders. :V At least a lot of the concepts I had in mind for him were thought up pretty early on. All I really needed to change was the height, fur color, and voice.

One last thing. A very cursed image.

Early Group Shot of the Squad I'm not sure exactly at what point in the game they were in, but based on the...Hot Topic-esque colors of Hates' armor, I'd say anywhere from the fourth zones (Eastmarch/Malabal Tor/Alik'r) to Coldharbour.

The Squad Now They're waiting to be useful again. I guess, story wise, there wouldn't be much time between the IC/DB DLC and Morrowind, but still. I mean I'm pretty sure I mentioned they've had their houses for a while now, even though the update dropped a few months ago.

No Armor

I should draw something special for this, tbh.
hazmick
Now I'm picturing Jo'zira as a kitten. Cool to see these early screenies!

Since I only recently started over on PC, I have pretty fresh memories of low level shenanigans, and I still have some shots back from starting over on Xbox. This is the earliest one I could find - two days after the game released on consoles, apparently about to do the Fort Virak mission for the first time.
Acadian
What great screenies! Fabulous to see the progress that Jo and company have made. And I see that Haa-Rei learned his beautiful lute playing as nearly a hatchling! tongue.gif
monkeyemoness
My screenshot folder's full of many, many memories, but also many, many cursed images.

Anyways, 2 days of spending vouchers on Hlaalu Furnishing Documents left. I've been getting really good Master Writs recently, too. Nothing in the ~200 or even 100 range, but plenty of 20-70 ones. Watch that dry up after Morrowind hits.

Also, related to this little trip through memory lane, I remembered I have many, many, MANY questions regarding how Soul Shriven work.

I know it was something done mostly for gameplay (seemingly based on Mankar Camora's worshipers trapped in his Paradise), but I feel like beyond that there wasn't much thought put into it. So long as it works in lore, let the players fill in the blanks I guess. That's TES lore for you.

So now, as I contemplate my characters' fates (a bit early in a game that's still updating, I know) some questions require an answer more urgently than the rest (fanwank ahead)



As always, there's also the gameplay/story thing to worry about. Ugh. I overthink things sometimes. Maybe I should throw these questions at Lawrence, if they ever do another lore thing. Assuming there isnt' already something that answers this in-game (or it's planned to be explained in the future)

Khajiit also doesn't understand a lot about what it means being Soul Shriven. This one tries not to think too much on it. His basic understanding is this: Manimarco did something to us, our bodies and souls went to Coldharbour (bodies to toil and be tormented, souls to fuel the Planemeld), . The most curious thing to Khajiit is why there is no explanation given in the game when you definitely stopped the planemeld yet the Dark Anchors still appear. Or perhaps these will continue until the Dragonfires are relit?

Warning: more fanwank speculation based on information we have so far ahead



On the subject of the anchors and completing the main quest, while also continuing the topic



This is all fanfiction fodder tbh. Aside from one tiny detail I'm having trouble deciding on, I more or less know where my characters are headed when this is all over. I'm just trying to be prepared in case of any wrench throwing. :V

What about skyshards? They're a thing that does something, right? Maybe that's what sets vestige shriven apart from regular shriven, and makes vestiges more...'normal'.
monkeyemoness
It's what the Prophet used to attune them to Nirn, so that's a possibility. I always wondered whether Skyshards had any effect on anyone else or whether they only served to empower whatever special ability the Vestige has. (It's been a while since I read the book about some special kind of soul or whatever that was clearly alluding to the PC)

Considering Nirn's very nature probably doesn't allow creatures like Daedra to exist naturally, mass accumulation of Skyshards could probably make a Soul Shriven mortal again. Give them permanence, if you will. ...or it's essentially turning them into ghosts. Permanently. So when they die their spirit is stuck on Nirn without being able to pass on. 'Course, the second one's probably very unlikely.

There are so many directions they can go with this, though I'll admit I'm a bit rust on how many of these things work. A wizard did it, I guess. I suppose that's the fun of leaving it up to the player to fill in the blanks.
monkeyemoness
On a Morrowind-related note, I STILL don't have much to go with for my Warden. The only known facts are that he's a Nord and around Hates-White-Rats' age. (So probably like 19 or 20. 16 if I decide Morrowind takes place before the events of the Planemeld given he's starting out there)

No name. Got a general appearance set but I'm still conflicted about it. He's gonna focus on the frost tree, though. Maybe with some healing. Probably going to use...mace and shield along with the frost staff? Most likely light armor.

I'm most likely not even playing until June or later, but I still feel like I'm out of time :V

Khajiit is currently working on Brenna's backstory. We haven't really decided on her last name (she's going to need one because apparently just Brenna is already in use). Her mom was a Reach Clanner and her dad was a Breton from Bangkorai (specifically the city of Evermore). Khajiit actually has the first part of the story typed out.

Today I'd like to share with the class that, just like in the beta, Bleakrock's Littrek Earth-Tuner reacts if you kill his pigs in front of him. (He calls you a monster on the first, starts crying on the second...)

Lol! That sounds hilarious! Like in Fallout3 when you had to make the little boy in the sim cry!

ohmy.gif You monster!!

I love the look back at the Squad. smile.gif


Jerric of Kvatch (MagWard? Is that how we're doing it?) Just talked to Littrek in Bal Foyen. He is once again in torment over what he should do in the upcoming battle. Aera just asked him what else they (the Daggers) could take from her. indifferent.gif

Rader, that is great! I also just sent you an invitation to our guild. Nice thing now, until one of our missing Admins shows up to pull our bot protection restrictions from your account (which include activating your PM system) you can PM me in the game if you need to. smile.gif

In the meantime, our other guild members should be able to send you friend requests (Cincinnatus of Lilmoth works).

Our next guild event is at 2:00 PM EST 5:00 PM EST on Friday June 2. Location is at our guildhall (mALX's primary residence). We'll make sure you know how to get there in advance if you need help with that. Last time we had the whole guild there but sometimes not everyone can make it. Very casual, relaxed and fun.

Hazmick has bravely (and by default) taken up the mantel of guild leader. And, as I said, mALX has ever so graciously provided her beautiful palace as our guild hall. You'll make member #8.

Edit: Oops, got confuzzled by time zones. Corrected now. embarrased.gif


I'm back!

Hoping to hop on ESO tonight (if not, should be able to tomorrow), so I'll accept the invitation as soon as I can. I think that time works for me, but I'll probably need help looking for mALX's residence.
Acadian
Great news!

Our guildhall is mALX's primary residence (Hunding Palatial Hall in Stros M'kai). Couple ways to easily get there:

1. mALX and you get on each other's friend's list and mALX gives you access to her house (like she has for all us in the guild). Then you can simply bring up mALX in your friend list, left click on her name for options and one will be to visit her primary residence. If you click that, you'll teleport there.

~or~

2. I'll be at the event on time or a few minutes early. You can then look me up in your friend list, left click for options and select 'teleport to location'. That will bring to you where I am. It would bring you to the nearest wayshrine to me if I was outdoors but will bring you to me inside a dungeon or the grounds of someone's house if I am there.

*

Once you get there, we'll be talking on the guild chat. To go on that, type in: /g1 (then hit enter). That is for guild #1 assuming we are the first guild in your list of guilds if you belong to more than one.

Feel free to ask more questions here or we can sort it out Friday. smile.gif

WOO HOO!!! Two more people and we can get Tabards to wear in Cyrodiil Alliance War!!! I actually took a keep on Sunday for the first time, and could have claimed it for The Chorrolites if we had ten members!

A very warm welcome to you! Just go to the Chorrolites Guild on your list of Guilds, find my name, and click on "Go to Primary Residence."

It is the Guild Hall for the Chorrolites; but since the game doesn't have anything set up for Guild Halls, it is the only way to visit it. Feel free to go there any time you want and stay as long as you like!

There are crafting stations there for your convenience; and in the future I hope to add at least a banker for the Guild to use. It is really convenient to pop over there and do your crafting - or hide out there for a while if you have a bounty and don't want to be stopped by the guards, laugh.gif

Everyone in the Chorrolites Guild has permission automatically to go to the Guild Hall. The Guilds all have Rosters with member's names listed. We will only have 8 members when Rader joins, so it might be easier to find my name on the Guild Roster than in a hefty friend list, lol.

I bolded what Acadian said above - the option he is referring to actually says something like "Travel to Player," and you can use this to get there off the Guild Roster list as well - choose any player that is showing anywhere you want to go and right click on their name = choose "Travel to Player," and it will bring you to their location or to the nearest wayshrine closest to their location if they are out in the wilderness. (and that is a very good way to put new locations on your map, too!)

You are allowed to join 5 Guilds in this game, the order they show on your Guild List is how you designate which chat you want to use: /G is to access your Guild chats. /G1 would bring you to (chat on) the first Guild on your list of Guilds; /G5 would bring you to the last Guild on the list. (so wherever The Chorrolites falls on your list of Guilds you are a member of, that is what number you will type into the chat box after the /G

Ooh, going to Hammerfell then? Sweet. It'll be nice to see Stros M'kai again after beating TESA: Redguard back in January. Only spent like 5 seconds in Hammerfell so far because I accidentally traveled there. Sounds good to me, as long as I am able to get on ESO at that time (which should not be a problem).

Not part of any other guilds, so "/g1" should be easy to remember. I haven't used the chat functions yet, so I'll need some practice. tongue.gif

Just added Grits last night. Anybody else that wants to add me feel free to do so!

Thanks for the welcome! Appreciate you opening up the guildhall to me.

Don't think you'd want me to join the Alliance War just yet, though. I still got some beefing up of my character to do.

Oh shizz, it's almost June innit? Guess we'll induct Rader through a World Boss, maybe.

Anyways, since I haven't bought any new house plans yet (waiting on good deals for the last few) my motif fund has reached 70k again for the first time in a month or so. It rarely went over 20k so I guess I'm glad. I might even consider getting Silken Ring! After Militant Ordinator, assuming it'll be cheaper but who knows. New AP source might mean lower gold exchange?

In other news Ruben "graduated" from the Squad's tutelage by finally reaching level 16 and getting started on crafting in the second tier of materials. It also coincided with him saving up enough gold to pay them back for maximizing his inventory space. So now he's on his own again, and with the help of Eolan he's gotten a little braver and started smacking things around with a greastword as well as burning them. You'd think a near-death experience would have the opposite effect but...

He might even go into errantry, assuming another bad experience doesn't make him stick to gathering.
monkeyemoness
Last night i went and cleaned up my Shaggy Bookeeper's inventory by giving all the recipes he had to Ruben. See, a long time ago I was convinced that I'd eventually start the Squad characters over so I started saving up all* the motifs and at least one recipe of each color for each tier. *This was when Dwemer was the only "extra" motif.

But the reality is that I put so much work into them it'd be dumb to delete characters even at that point. So now I'm distributing things that are only stored for the sake of hoarding. Time to sell those valuable as heck Imperial motifs since I had some left over after giving some to those 2 crafting mules. :V I'd sell the purple and blue recipes, too, but they've since dropped considerably in price. I remember when level 25 blue recipes were easily 10k each given how rare they were. :/

If if weren't for the fact that he now helps with Master Writ acquisition, the Shaggy Bookeeper would be on the chopping block. Hell, twice I considered not doing writs on him anymore and I got some nice Master Writs the very day so I kept going. Not gonna delete him but I'm going to drop him hard once I get the last set of Attunables (I'm making progress towards the first btw).

Mira got her Golden Saint Armor!

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.
TheCheshireKhajiit
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).
Acadian
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. smile.gif
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?
Acadian
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. tongue.gif

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).
Grits
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!

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.
