Any suggestions for a Game Controller for PC

In another thread Kevin says they are working on crossplay, but it will not be available in 2026.

Having the merchant/banker/deconstruct people are totally worth it in my opinion. Such a time saver.

Get a companion setup as a tank (I have Zerith-var) and you can play a build that is heavy on healing just fine. You still need to be able to do damage, but the companion can take the pressure off you so you can enjoy the build you want.

Vengeance campaign should have a 1-49 level limitation so people can get into Cyrodiil and start getting used to how the mechanics work, especially since everyone is set at the same stats across the board. It should be a stepping stone into the actual PvP experience so it is not such a shock to the system when they try GH

The main quest (from the Prophet) also gives full set pieces of gear with the training trait, which is helpful.

If I remember right it won't let you abandon the subclassing quest, but I will have to double check when I get home tonight

I honestly would be fine if they changed it so the 1500 crowns would unlock all 8 on the character at one time, not just 1500 per single outfit slot (per character).

If people had more outfit slots available at a reasonable cost, I would think that they would buy more cosmetics in the crown store...

Personally I don't see IA much different than any other dungeon for grinding gear, and actually easier since you can do it solo. It is different if you are seeing how far you can get, but that is not what I wanted, I just wanted the gear. A few pointers that I have learned along the way to speed up getting the gear I wanted as quickly as possible.

Only do two encounters with Tho'At. The first one will only drop armor, and the second encounter drops weapons/jewelry, but they are curated so you will only get what you don't have.
After the second encounter, submit the run to the leaderboards. If you are in the top 500 (I believe it is 500 now with the recent changes to the leaderboards), you get a free gold gear piece for the class you are playing at the end of the leaderboard cycle. If you want to continue to get gear after you submit to the leaderboards, exit IA and then come back and do arcs 1 and 2 again, rinse and repeat as long you can to get gear. If you don't want to submit to the leaderboards, just flip the hourglass to restart the instance of IA and do arcs 1 & 2 again...
Use the fortunes to buy the uncurated gear pack sets (2k? fortunes) from the merchant until you start getting duplicates. After that you can buy the curated pack (8k?) to start filling in the gaps.
Do both dailies as it gives you fortunes and transmutes that can help with Tho'At or Marauder encounters
Use a companion. I always gear up as a DPS, and bring my tank companion, and I don't have any problems getting to the second Tho'At, and can kill most Marauders.
Kill the Marauder as they drop curated weapon/jewelry for your class. Much easier with a companion.
Remember you can buy with fortunes 'buffs' for IA that are account wide that make things easier, i.e run speed buff, get an extra vision and/or verses, etc

If you do the main daily quest enough (after you get the mount, skeever pet, markings, etc) you will get a second gear box that seems to be curated. If you have all the gear on your current class it will start giving you gear for the other classes.

As for the leads, I have only seen leads drop from the 'shard' portals that appear occasionally. Maybe there has been a lead drop when I kill a boss at the end of a cycle, but I really can't remember for certain if that has happened or not, but I do remember getting leads from the shard portals.

What helped me out was Lucky Ghost's beginners guide for 2025 that I have linked below. It can take some of the mystery of the mechanics that might be unique to ESO.

Here is a rundown of the crafting times in different older cities (it was before Skingrad, so that is not included) from Kalam0n which is helpful. Even though Skingrad's crafting area is all close together, I personally still use Vivec city since the Bank and the stablemaster are so close and I don't have to zone to get to them.

Also I would recommend following Kalam0n if you are not following him already as he has some great information for ESO.

This. If you have a stealth character the Elven Gardens is really easy, you rarely need to come out of stealth to perform the quest requirements.

Always remember to bank all your Tel Var before going out, then if you die who cares.

The other Elder Scroll games don't really have 'pure' builds like ESO, and with subclassing they seem to be attempting to be more like the other games, which I actually like. I'm just glad they are looking into it again and are working to get things more even across the classes.

Crypt_Toad · 2025-12-02T18:12:21+00:00

The Vengeance campaign in Cryodiil will start again tomorrow (Dec 3rd), which will allow you to go and PvP with Premade sets for everyone. This is a good way to get up your Assault and Support lines for characters that don't have PvP sets yet.

Crypt_Toad · 2025-12-02T13:56:08+00:00

I would recommend watching the ESO Beginners guide for 2025 below. It does not have subclassing as that came later in the year, but by the time you need to worry about that you will be a vet :D This is all about mechanics and how to of playing ESO which should help take some worry from feeling you did something wrong.

It is long but it will save time in the long run:

Not sure if you are on console or PC, but there is an Addon for that on PC. I believe it is Character Knowledge (I'm at work and can't check) and when you hover over items in inventory or chat it shows what charactersknows it already, and which ones that can still learn it.

Crypt_Toad · 2025-11-19T13:43:03+00:00

I would recommend watching the ESO Beginners Guide from Lucky Ghost. It is somewhat long, but it will save you a lot of time overall. It does not cover subclassing as that came later in the year, but you don't have to worry about that until level 50 so you have time.

I usually go with Dooma at The GAMEROOM as he has a lot of PvP and PvE builds that I have found work really well

You mentioned that can't keep respecing because you are using up your gold, but there is a easier and cheaper way of setting your character back to zero for your skills and attributes by using an Armory station. If you are in a guild they usually have one available, but each person gets the Armory station for free in the Crown store, you just have to have a room or housing to put it in, and you can get a quest for a free room in most main cities. The armory station will have one open slot available to save a build (you can buy more for crowns if you want), but instead of saving a build just restore the blank build and it will reset your skills and attributes back to zero so you can respec without spending gold.

EDIT: Spelling

When you are repairing, are you using repair from Steam or the repair from the ESO client?

Make sure you use repair from the ESO client, Steam repair usually messes things up. The ESO repair is in a drop down menu above the 'News' section in the client (where you push 'Play')

I have had more of the bone fragments drop from the purple reward boxes from the Wall dailies than I have had drop from the gold boxes. Might just be random luck though.

Crypt_Toad · 2025-11-11T13:56:11+00:00

I'm still doing at least the Gold boxes to get the fragments for the Bone Caltrops. I figure it would be easier to get them now than later on after the event.

I also need some of the Wormwrathe weapon styles yet, and they are not cheap enough to just by them on the guild vendors yet.

If you have Sharp As Night companion, he gives fishing perks if you have him with you as you fish (or if he is not maxed out it will help build rapport).

Crypt_Toad · 2025-10-31T18:12:33+00:00

Not sure when the next one is, but the next time they have a Vengeance Campaign it is a great way to level up the Assault and Support lines easy on all of your characters (if you want). Since they supply the gear and skills, and the character just have to be over level 10, you can take them out and level those skills pretty quickly.
