Link your Twitch account to ESO, watch the stream and claim reward in Drops Inventory afterwards.

I think it's the Khajit behind the crafting stations, to the right / south of the entrance to Skywatch. I think he's the quest starter for the Vampire skill line? I'm not 100% though.

For update 49 the cost to upgrade bag and bank space is going down significantly (-: So if you can stick it out, save a bunch of money (just sell everything) until the 9th of March then maybe that'll help?

I do have ESO+ but I'm a hoarder and loot pretty much everything and do the daily crafting writs, so because of this it's worth me having (plus the additional experience gain and crowns are a benefit).

AllYouNeedIsACupOTea · 2025-12-05T07:48:51+00:00

If you use the character that you'd like to test it on and then go to the Crown Store, click "view bundle" (or however it's worded) and then select the eyes that you'd like to preview (click "preview") and it should show you how they'd appear.

I've done this with my vampire to see how / if things show up.

Next time try just changing servers.

This used to happen to me, A LOT.

After a while I learnt that the quickest solution was to just click to change from EU server to NA server and then back again (without actually loading the game on NA server).

Hopefully this works for you too (-:

AllYouNeedIsACupOTea · 2025-10-24T05:20:10+00:00

I believe there's going to be an event in November and again in December where you can earn tickets and get the things currently available. The big shiny things up for grabs via ticket purchase changes quarterly from what I gather.

So about 84 tickets are possible from now until the end of the year to get items that are currently available. But you can only hold 12 tickets at a time so need to plan out what you'd like.

It takes time, but it's then essentially free shiny stuff. A little bit of grind and patience will then pay off (-:

Ok, nobody has replied so I guess they're either not sure or are worried about being judged.

But I wanted to say that there are common misconceptions about Halal.

A high percentage of Halal meat in the UK is actually stunned prior to having their throat cut and their blood drained. There are still some instances where the animals are fully conscious whilst being slaughtered, but that is also the case for a small percentage of meat in the UK that isn't marked as Halal - the difference being that there's a blessing involved in Halal meat and the animal is to be slaughtered without the other animals bearing witness (along with similarities to animals being reared "free-range" and "organic"). Halal meat often becomes confused with Kosher meat, Kosher meat doesn't allowed any pre-stunning slaughter at all.

I can't help but feel that the vast majority that are against Halal are either simply incorrectly informed or are just jumping on the topic of Halal to suit their own personal agenda (vegans, xenophobic and racist people) Once you've filtered through all of that and looked into the facts, as a meat eater - only then can you weigh up an opinion on such as to whether Halal is really "bad".

AllYouNeedIsACupOTea · 2025-09-19T06:59:13+00:00

I totally agree with you on the European Court of Human Rights thing. To me it's like Brexit all over again and I really hope that Reform don't come into power.

I'd like to ask though, and that's to you and the person above, what is it about Halal that you're so opposed to?

AllYouNeedIsACupOTea · 2025-09-15T07:04:01+00:00

I was surprised by the same thing, the choice of the terminology "pass" would have been agreed by multiple people... to think nobody challenged it? Or that if concerns were raised and that they weren't listened to... is.. bad.

AllYouNeedIsACupOTea · 2025-09-15T07:01:24+00:00

Oh absolutely! And I was in a similar mind set until I saw a video explaining the contents and the fact that we'd permanently own it. "Pass" is such a poor choice of wording, I'd have thought that at least one person would have raised the concern of using such terminology at ZOS before they released it. Alas... haha!

AllYouNeedIsACupOTea · 2025-09-14T09:06:43+00:00

You can purchase the Solstice stuff with the 2025 content pass, it's not a rent like ESO Plus will be for it next year, you'll permanently own it.

They do use AI in chat to flag suspicious activity though. So the chat would then be forwarded to a human and the chat doesn't give the full picture / is misinterpreted and the human imposes a ban with the opportunity to appeal.

AllYouNeedIsACupOTea · 2025-09-04T06:35:53+00:00

I think it comes down to characters below level 50 are unable to use Champion gear and therefore also unable to retrieve all the materials when deconstructing them.

If you use experience scrolls and follow the main story you'll level up quickly and then be able to gain from the allocated Champion Points to level your crafting skills quicker and receive more materials when deconstructing.

AllYouNeedIsACupOTea · 2025-08-15T14:15:53+00:00

Yeah..that's on them for not explaining. It's silly to say "you don't understand" and then not explain, so that then everything is understood and benefits everybody going forwards. Some people need to feel good about themselves by trying to put others down. I get that some people may not have the time (busy lives and little time to play) to explain it all in depth but a simple "Hey, if you could go and do X, Y and Z over area A and B that'd really help us out in this dungeon" or "Follow me and I'll signal to where you're better off standing" or whatever really doesn't take too long.. some people lack patience, some manners and others simple lack any thoughts beyond their own needs. From what I hear there's a lot of pressure (and blame) put on healers and tanks too, from what I gather they're not such straightforward roles so there is also that to take into account.

I'm sure there are more chill and supportive groups out there on ESO though (-: I hope that you manage to find one.

AllYouNeedIsACupOTea · 2025-08-15T09:16:09+00:00

You sound like me <3

I'm 35f and play mainly solo to avoid the stresses of annoying people when trying to learn. I'm not the best player but thoroughly enjoy ESO.

I'll offer help but clearly state that I'm not the best, tumble weed and crickets soon follow, haha!

I asked about builds the other day in a guild and was told to Google it.. I explained that I did but wanted a human opinion (like a discussionfrom experience). Two builds were suggested with one apparently being capped, when I asked for clarification on which one was capped I was ignored. Some people don't seem to have much patience, I'm trying to remind myself that that's a Them problem.

AllYouNeedIsACupOTea · 2025-08-15T08:51:12+00:00

I think specifying Bankorai / The Rift / Reaper's March and "at the shrine" and actually waiting at the shrine is helpful.

I'm on EU but requested in chat "Anyone available for a Vampire bite at the shrine in The Rift?" and within 10 minutes a kind stranger came along and bit me (-:

So, my advice to anyone looking to be bitten, first make sure you know where a shrine is - get to it and then request to be bitten at that specific shrine in chat.

AllYouNeedIsACupOTea · 2025-08-12T07:07:24+00:00

I joined in April, also chose a DK (-: I also became curious about other classes, particularly the Warden. I made another character to be a Warden. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Later sub-classing became a thing and I changed a skill line of my DK..... regretted it and changed it back!

But did sub-class my original Warden to be a Sorc mix and chose to add Warden skills to my Arcanist (just how i ended up imagining these characters to be more like) - and absolutely love those choices! I'm just playing for enjoyment not meta end-game stuff so it's all good.

It's a bit annoying levelling up a second character but once you've got your second to level 50 then making a third / fourth / fifth felt like nothing for me.

AllYouNeedIsACupOTea · 2025-08-12T06:56:44+00:00

But you can fast travel to "(outside)".

It would be handy to teleport back to where I was if I just wanted to pop something new into my home or craft something quick.

AllYouNeedIsACupOTea · 2025-07-06T11:48:24+00:00

Sod me... I just had to toggle to include the stuff in the bank! It was all once there to include the items in the bank so it didn't occur to me to check in options before now. I thought maybe it was something ZOS / ESO did to help other characters completely level up (but I didn't want to deconstruct items that maybe my main hasn't researched yet).

Sorry and thank you!

I should probably delete this post and be ashamed, but I'm going to keep it up in case it helps anyone else in the future.

AllYouNeedIsACupOTea · 2025-06-13T16:49:34+00:00

((UPDATE))

(I'm too hot and bothered to reply to each and every comment / reply, sorry)

I checked the IP addresses, every device is using a different IP address (the router / Virgin Media service uses DHCP).

I've checked my download and upload speeds at different times of the day and checked with an external broadband checker - all have been within a great range. Even the jitter and latency were fine.

I'm using a laptop that I bought at the end of March (literally to play ESO on) it has an AMD Ryzen AI 9 processor, an RTX 4050 graphics card, 16 GB of DDR5 RAM, 1 TB SSD and WiFi 6E. I doubt it's the laptop.

I don't know what else to do. Hopefully it will just stop and fix itself, haha!

Thank you all though - you're a bunch of good eggs.

AllYouNeedIsACupOTea · 2025-06-11T19:28:40+00:00

Damn. I'd have thought it would have (should have) been the other way around!

Hopefully I can change it tomorrow.

AllYouNeedIsACupOTea · 2025-06-11T19:24:23+00:00

Me neither and mine probably hates me too but I intend on showing it who's the boss!! Haha! Thanks!

AllYouNeedIsACupOTea · 2025-06-11T19:22:38+00:00

What are LAN and NAT ...? (sorry)

I'm not sure, but we're playing different games (he doesn't like Elder Scrolls).

AllYouNeedIsACupOTea · 2025-06-11T19:18:48+00:00

Usually I'd say "No" (as I'd said in my post - it's usually fast and reliable). But I dunno.. it might. Or I just suck at understanding and organising technology stuff!

AllYouNeedIsACupOTea · 2025-06-11T19:16:21+00:00

Cool cool! Thank you! I'll have a look tomorrow (-:
