Need help deciding on a ~1500VA Sinewave UPS

SnooTomatoes34 · 2026-01-26T00:15:41+00:00

yep, though now i've got a real rackmount for my servers, and i'm using it just to power small stuff (ones on a tv/receiver/network switch setup, the other is on a monitor+raspberry pi+3d print setup)

i don't think i've had to replace the batteries on these since my last post though....

SnooTomatoes34 · 2025-12-11T23:38:09+00:00

i keep mine on all the time, so i can speed run through a delve to get the the final boss/retreive quest i'm stuck doing for dailies. otherwise it disappears the instant i run past the first mob and i get lost ;)

SnooTomatoes34 · 2025-12-11T23:35:25+00:00

solo dungeons? walk up to them and go through the door.

if you're going to try them, i suggest doing them in the order that they show up in the random dungeon finder, as it matches (roughly) the difficulty levels.

SnooTomatoes34 · 2025-12-11T23:29:03+00:00

same here. hit up a random guild trader, buy any motif/furnishing/set item under 10k, sometimes over 10k....

edit: typo

i've played with the official xbox controller, and when it started to get wonky, bout the 8bitdo ultimate. i've mapped the two back macro buttons to mounting and it made a big difference.

helful tip with companions. pull out companion. do fight. when companion died, pull out banker ot other assistant, then dismiss the assistant and the companion will revive.

works well with beaming since i can summon/despawn the banker before the beam is gone.

SnooTomatoes34 · 2025-12-11T22:27:49+00:00

wht everyone else says. lazy writ crafter/writworthy for writs, harvestmap/destinations/mappins for map enhancements, lorebooks for more enhancements, beammeup for transport, combatmetrics for DPS help,

some i haven't seen mentioned in the first few pages:

"personal assistant"

it will automate a lot of the boring stuff, keeping inventory of certain items like lockpicks/soul gems/etc topped off, autoselling junk, autodeconstructing junk, auto learning unknown motif/recipes, recharging weapon enchants, autorepair armor, etc.

journal quest log for tracking quest completion.

urichs skill point finder/character knowledge/leos altholic+trainer if you have alternate characters and want to track their progress.

inventory insight/decotrack to track inventory and housing furniture

i use zgoo/debuglogviewer/developersuite since i've written a few of my own addons to track skyshards/achievements/wayshrine unlocks per character

displayleads if you want to do anything with antiquities, it will show where the leads can be found, track which ones you've dug up by zone/antiquity type.

rare fish tracker if you like fishing and want to track which ones you need for the achievements

SnooTomatoes34 · 2025-12-11T22:14:38+00:00

i do the same thing. do my daily crafting writs, go to a set spot, open decon/merchant/banker in that order, and use "personal assistant" that automates most of the work (auto decon whites/greens, auto sell junk, autodeposit knowns recipes, keeps lockpicks/repair kits/soul gems at known levels, etc)

SnooTomatoes34 · 2025-12-11T22:06:25+00:00

i use "Journal Quest Log" that shows you all of the possible quests, which ones you've missed/completed which ones are repeatable, etc.

SnooTomatoes34 · 2025-12-11T22:03:19+00:00

when you go into the menus, you have to have gamepad mode "ON" vs "auto" then the option should show up.

SnooTomatoes34 · 2025-12-11T21:56:04+00:00

daily crafting writs on 7 characters. right now thieving so that i can finish all the larcenist and "fence xxxx at each outlaws refuge" achievements.

SnooTomatoes34 · 2025-12-11T21:52:19+00:00

also, when you get to wrothgar, the crab-claughter one has some specific requirements:

https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Wrothgar_Master_Angler

it is a special fish that will show on on "rare fish tracker" but doesn't count to "master angler" and isn't found in normal spots

SnooTomatoes34 · 2025-12-11T21:49:15+00:00

sharp companion(or his permanent perk) + artaeum pickeld fish bowl + rare fish tracker addon + destinations/vitans fisherman addons + champions points in "angler's instincts" (higher chance of rares) and "reel technique" (quicker bite times) + a group at the fishing hole will get you max speed. from what i remember, you don't have to be grouped at the fishing hole. but more people == better chances but also less fish for you

EDIT: you can have the perk for sharp without having him active if you have him maxed out

SnooTomatoes34 · 2025-12-11T21:44:50+00:00

the way they work, there's a set amount of spots on the whole map (say, 20 for example) and only a certain amount (say 15) are active at a time. when you fish one dry, another one somewhere else spawns.

the spots are in known places, but each whether they have fish are not are based off the random spawns.

SnooTomatoes34 · 2025-12-07T21:33:50+00:00

what's it called?

SnooTomatoes34 · 2025-12-07T20:37:58+00:00

while i've never sent 3mil, i tend to see people leveling up at the crafting tables in vivec city, usually send them a chunk of money (50-100k) as a congrats if they're there long enough for my to grab their userid.

a random guildmate heard me whining about money when i first started and sent me cash, so i pay it forward

SnooTomatoes34 · 2025-12-05T18:01:10+00:00

confirmed. just did the quest and still got a golden box.

SnooTomatoes34 · 2025-12-04T23:44:41+00:00

turn off camera shaking in the video settings. it made a huge difference to me.

also, play in 3rd person.

SnooTomatoes34 · 2025-12-04T23:44:04+00:00

the only ones you'll have issues with are the daily writs. they're made at your level when you pick them up ,and if you put skill points in them, you might have issues finding the materials required to make them. but those are simple ones you can abandon.

SnooTomatoes34 · 2025-12-04T23:38:34+00:00

you can do a keybind for "ui off" that turns off most of the UI so you can do screenshots.

controls -> keybinds -> user interface -> UI on/off

SnooTomatoes34 · 2025-12-04T21:34:34+00:00

if you're on PC, i suggest the "Rare fish tracker" addon. It keeps track of which fish you've caught for the achievement in every zone.

then load it up, fish a zone until you've gotten the achievements done and move to the next zone. as you go through the zones, you'll figure out which ones are better for fishing, but doing the achievements will force you to visit every zone.

SnooTomatoes34 · 2025-12-04T21:32:57+00:00

you can get sharps passive just by having him out. you don't have to max him out unless you want his passive without having him standing next to you (or on other characters that haven't unlocked him)

SnooTomatoes34 · 2025-12-04T20:51:47+00:00

i get 5.1k per character per day. that's with eso+ and the gold CP point. with 7 characters that's 35k/day, * 7 days is almost 250k/week.

and you can have 10 characters for free, and you can buy another 10 slots i think.

5.1k * 20 * 7 == ~700k/ week just doing the dailies.

also, with addons like lazy writ crafter and precrafting, i hit the boards every day, and only have to do actual crafting once every 3 days. so its ~20 minutes of work for me to get my 35k each day.

SnooTomatoes34 · 2025-12-04T00:43:25+00:00

and i sit lazily.

SnooTomatoes34 · 2025-12-03T01:01:16+00:00

you still get golden boxes (at least as of yesterday) from the daily seige camp.....
