thanks guys, I'm getting my butt handed to me, and the extra health helps.

[Bealin]

Ya that will happen in the veteran zones for sure haha

[Rojnaar]

Anyone have any luck farming Daedric or Ancient Elf motiff's?  I've been farming once a day, and all I'm getting are an excess of primal/barbaric.  Been doing it in Rivenspire, not sure if I need to do it from a higher vet zone or not.

[Bealin]

You can only get the Deadric/Ancient Elf Motifs from the level VR6+ Zones, 1 great place to farm them is in Grahtwood at the Altmer Embassy, I also happen to have 3 extra Ancient Elf Motifs and an extra Deadric Motif on me.

[Rojnaar]

Makes sense, I'm still only in the VR5 quest zone.  I'll work on getting through it tonight to hit the vr6 zone

[Rojnaar]

Bangkorai is bugged, so I can't get finish caldwell's silver and move on to the next part.  I've got 2 extra each of barbaric and primal if I could interest you in some trading

[Rojnaar]

Finally they fixed bangkorai.  I'm in the V6 zone now, can do some farming

[Bealin]

Ya I got all of my quest achievements now, so I have the Tamriel Hero title, woot woot!

[Rojnaar]

Nice.  I just noticed last night that i had pact hero, so I guess they fixed the achievement.  Gotta go back and finish covenant

[Dralzen]

back Saturday evening. can not wait to get home to a computer that can handle games lol. parents only have basic systems. though i do like the projector they have for one of the computers ;-).

[Bealin]

ESO has been pretty quiet lately, I am kind of waiting for people to catch up so we can do Craglorn!!

[Bealin]

So ESO will be free to play in March, I myself plan on giving it another shot at that point to see how it is. I did enjoy the game quite a bit, but lost interest due to lack of people to play with. So now that it will be free to play, perhaps people that had thought about getting it before can get it now. We should still have all of our old characters and our guild/guild bank should all be setup still. 

 

I have had a craving to play ESO lately I have even considered throwing on 1 month sub until the free to play kicks in, but I have held off on that haha.

 

So if anyone else thinks they might be interested let me know, we could possibly get a group going and start new characters and level up together.

[Stickman]

I think you mean one time payment. You still have to purchase the base game at retail price, but there us no more monthly fee.

[Bealin]

I think you mean one time payment. You still have to purchase the base game at retail price, but there us no more monthly fee.

 

Yes, that is true, but for those of us that already purchased the game there are no more fee's. So we can just load it up and get back into things.

[Guest Source]

I played the beta and thought it was bad. But I may give it another shot once this launches.

[Bealin]

The no subscription required begins on March 17th for those interested.

[Rojnaar]

I came back to it about 2 months ago.  Got my main up to Veteran rank 14..  There are going to be sweeping changes to it all, once it goes buy to play.  Without subscription, you'll still get all the zone's n dungeons, and pvp that are in the game right now.  As far as DLC's, you'll be able to purchase them if you aren't a subscriber, using a type of game currency called 'Crowns' that you can buy.  If you were subscribed in the past or are currently subscribed, you will be getting a small amount of this currency for each month you were previously subscribed since launch. 

 

The biggest part of the changes are the implementation of a champion system, where you can still gain improvement points as you level or past max vr14 level.  They did a test on the PTS server, using this new 1.6 system and i jumped into it for a bit.   As a veteran rank 14 with a full xp bar, I get given 70 champion points immediately,(there is room for hundreds of champion points) any more after that I have to earn over time as I gain xp.  The cool thing is, that the champion points are ACCOUNT based.  Meaning I get the free 70 points on my main, and can also use 70 champion points to improve my lvl 1 mule character.  This will make leveling an alt tons easier.

 

If you don't have a veteran rank character before it goes buy to play, you'll have to earn them as you go.  Champion points don't start building until you have a veteran rank 1 character, as i believe it's set up now.  If your main is lvl 50, once you level up to vr1, you'll gain level xp and champion point xp all at the same time, for doing the same stuff.  

 

Some of the DLC content I saw on the test server, were tons of costumes for all the RP folks, beast(cool looking guar) and horse mounts, and high level tri-stat potions.  Luckily, the tri-stat potions that are for sale in the crown store, are not as good as the tri-stat potions you can make if you are max crafting in Alchemy.  I've been making potions alot lately and get 12k gold at least from player for the health pots, and 10k for the stam/magika focused tri-pots I make.   There are supposed to be DLC's you can buy that will have new zone's or dungeons.   Personally I'm hoping for some special pvp content on the DLC's, but they are tight lipped on that for now.

[Bealin]

Thanks for the update Rojnaar, that is some good information there. I just decided to throw on a month sub last night and play it again, I had an itch I just couldn't scratch haha. It has been quite awhile since I played though so I am quite rusty on everything, I figured I would make a new char to get my bearings that way. I have noticed a few new things already such as the daily undaunted quests, the crafting certifications/writs (I am not sure what the inspiration points you get from these are for?) I have also seen some new Motifs for Dwemer stuff, looks like they are Motif 15 with chapters for each dwemer item, not sure how many there are in total though, nor where I can farm those yet.

 

I did some guild bank clean up last night between the 4 guilds we have setup with banks. We sure do have lots of materials in those banks haha.

 

So far though I have been having fun, I will be on tonight probably playing my sorc and getting back into the swing of things.

[Rojnaar]

Inspiration points are the gain you get in a crafting skill.  Like with enchanting, if you disassemble a rune you get some crafting experience points(or inspiration as it's called) for doing so.  Doing the little writ quests, gets you extra skill experience in that particular crafting skill, and you have the chance to get a blue "survey" item that is like a treasure map.  It'll lead you to a nice horde of components for that particular craft skill.

 

I haven't done the undaunted stuff yet, as it's all group dungeon stuff, and I usually just pvp.   The dwemer motiff's can be found in any of the dwemer ruins or dungeons.  You'll find them in the dwemer pots and stuff that you can open and loot.  I've gotten a couple, but they aren't too easy to find.   In order to craft dwemer style gear, you'll have to farm the dwemer mobs, who'll occassionally drop "dwemer scrap" and with 10 of those, you can make a dwemer frame, which is what is needed for the armor style.   Time consuming shit to find for sure, but the style looks kinda cool.

[Bealin]

Ah well perhaps I will farm me some Dwemer ruins tonight on my NB and find me some Motifs! That can also help me get used to my NB again.

[Rojnaar]

There's a dwemer ruin that is only accessible early in the game, via the fighter's guild quests.  It's supposed to have the largest number of searchable pots in the game to get dwemer motif's.  I don't lvl alts much, but I'm working one up a little just to get into that dwemer ruin.  Gotta be careful that you don't complete the quest that opens the place up though.  I'll be able to tell ya more, when I get an alt parked in front of it.

[Bealin]

I've been working on a Sorc alt lately, perhaps I will find the same ruin as I quest along, then I can farm it up for awhile. So far my Sorc is level 8 and counting haha.

[Bikerb12]

I plan on getting back in when it goes f2p, got my vet rank toon

[Bealin]

Well I am not going to lie, I am enjoying ESO again, I feel they have fixed the Night Blade quite a bit, I am able to kill stuff pretty good again, now that I am getting back into the swing of things. Now I just need to get some gold for a respec and I will probably be doing even better than I am now!

 

I am also enjoying leveling up a sorc, they are pretty fun!

[Guest Source]

I am probably going to try this game pretty soon. Maybe even before it goes free. Like I said before I didn't think it was good in beta but I am willing to give it another shot.
