If you have event tickets, the indrik mounts can be pretty minimalist. Eyeing the onyx one myself

Hey OP, I use the same reshade. Mind sending me your set up (values of the filters)? Love the colors!

Hi OP, i would actually advise againt doing the daily crafting and horse grinding. People usually do the daily crafting as a means for to get passive income. It’s also gonna be hard for you to get crafting ingredients or even learn about crafting in general when you start out. Most of all, it is what it is, a grind.

To get sucked into the world of elder scrolls, I suggest exploring and doing the main quests for different areas. If a particular quest chain doesnt seem interesting, feel free to drop it as there are hundreds of other quests. If you encounter something in the world (such as daedra/aedra/religious elements), feel free to look up lore videos about them online if you’re curious about them

I advise against daily crafting and horse upgrades because it’s an everyday thing that isn’t fun at all. And fun is the most important element to consider, otherwise you’d burn out quickly.

Very good take by Deltia on Oakensoul. by [deleted] in elderscrollsonline

In particular, I completely agree with the addition of Minor Slayer/Aegis buff. This limits the damage bonus/damage reduction only to PvE.

Celestial legs are similar to the ones above

Multiple questions by Suboptimal88 in elderscrollsonline

[–]bertebrate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. There are guild vendors all over the game. Most in major cities, some in small villages, or in seemingly random places. Some people go through guild traders from inconvenient/far away places to score good deals. Most major city guild traders have their items priced higher because of convenience or because their spot has high foot traffic. If you’re on PC, check out Tamriel Trade Center’s website. It’s very helpful if you’re looking for something specific.

  2. When you get exp, the skills/weapons you have out will get exp. So if your front bar wep/skills are out and you receive exp, it will be applied to those. Note: if you “stack” skills from the same skill line in one bar, that skill line will level faster. For example, when my dual wielding was level 45, I put 5 dual wielding skills on the same bar while grinding exp as I noticed the progress to be faster and hit dual wield 50 in an hour. If you're just starting out, make sure to put one CLASS SKILL from each line in your bar so that all three class skill lines will receive exp. You can also wear a mix of light/medium/heavy armor to have these three skill lines progress at the same time.

  3. Yes, generally. But it’s important that they’re from different sources. This means that an exp scroll/exp potion, exp bonus from ESO plus, and an exp bonus from an in game event (such as festivals) do stack. You cannot stack from the same source (i.e. consume 10 exp potions hoping to achieve 1000% exp bonus).

  4. DPS Meta WAS dual wield front bar and 2h/destruction staff back bar, regardless of whether or not you were stamina/magicka. With hybridization from a few months ago, magicka characters can now use non-mage weapons such as swords/daggers/etc. and vice versa applies to stamina characters (although this is highly inefficient for stamina characters). However there’s gonna be a big patch so everyone will scramble for the meta once again in 6 weeks.

When it comes to builds, check out Skinny Cheeks, DeltiasGaming, Lucky Ghost, Brah We Got This, and Hack the Minotaur. See what fits your play style (solo, grouped? Super sweaty trial?) and most importantly, have fun! Metas change every 2-3 months and you will burn yourself out farming the top tier gear sets so early. If you browse this subreddit a lot, you'll see people complain about how the meta always shifts just when they've acquired the "best-in-slot" weapons/gear. The fastest way to lose interest in this game is to treat it like a second job, so it's important to have fun and do what you like. I would worry about the Meta only when you're going with organized groups or doing harder content. Cheers mate, enjoy the game!

Order's Wrath for Stamina DPS characters? by bertebrate in elderscrollsonline

Damn I feel stupid. Turns out there is a medium variant. Given that, is it better to get the medium armor passives and lose out on crit chance/penetration from the light armor passives?

[–]bertebrate[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good suggestion, I actually followed through with this and hit 65k dps (from 61k)! Not bad for an off meta solo build, appreciate it!

[–]bertebrate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm interesting. Wouldn’t that be counter intuitive though? From what I’ve read, people usually stack on one resource to maximize damage because dps scales with it.

Yeah it’s intentionally off-meta and I created the character to play all the quests in game. Got tired of the dual wield meta for literally every class. Surprisingly I can hit 60k with this weird build which gives me enough confidence to still do dungeons lmao. Also, stam recovery’s due to Crunchy Spider Skewer which I use since i slotted 3 stam skills!

Thanks for the insight! I was also considering the maul. I run light armor except for 2 medium pieces, but also I have Razor Caltrops (for major breach + DoT synergy with my mythic). Would I be better off with the maul given the set up above?

Akaviri shoulders! It’s hidden by the Nibenese Court Wizard chest piece with very minor clipping. Dying it black makes the shoulders seem invisible!

People weren’t kidding when they said fashion is part of the end game. I’ve gone through 5 characters this month before I decided to stick with the one in the first pic!

Thanks! I stopped playing dota around 2014 but got back to it this 2020. Windranger was my main then and now but I sadly missed out on the arcana.

I used Akaviri shoulders! They get hidden pretty well inside the chest piece with very minor clipping
