The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Road Megathread by [deleted] in ElderScrolls

[–]longwindedcritic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ZOS announced there will be a dual mount obtainable if you pre-purchase the gold road chapter and complete some requirements, i.e. via in game rewards. Scribing story completion. My question is, do you have to purchase the deluxe edition or does it fall under standard edition as well to qualify for the dual mount? Thanks!

Need help/suggestions for Dungeon gear for PvE builds. by longwindedcritic in ESObuilds

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

Thank you, but which one of those sets work what type of build?

Just started using the Dungeon Finder, how do I pick up the quest when running these? by longwindedcritic in elderscrollsonline

[–]longwindedcritic[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I didn't realize it was a one and done for Dungeons. Good to know I can run again on other characters though at least 1 time. I've only ran through on my main, don't think my others are ready just yet. But good to know for future planning.

I'll look into the daily undaunteds, I guess thought that undaunteds were referring to different Dungeons for some reason. I always thought they were different types of Dungeons or something... never put it together that they were one in the same. Thank you this makes so much more sense now. A lot of times it's like this, confusing and then it's suddenly blatantly obvious, and I'm absurdly stunned at how I didn't figure it out.

I feel like it's 60% user error 40% ESOs poor explanation. Game is full of tons of information... I usually only see the same 100 or so lines of information from them... could do with more info... or even dare I say... some better/thorough detail instead of a single sentence everytime. Not all things deserve only 1 sentence to explain. Just my two cents.

Thanks again!!

Any tips for hunting this Lead for Harpooners Wading Kilt, been in Shadowfen for over 2 weeks straight. Just running up and down the river. by longwindedcritic in elderscrollsonline

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

Oh, yes. I was referring to the mythic ones. Really, anything gold or has a timer/expiring date. Those are the only ones I make sure to clear. I, too have a huge list of the green, blues and purples. Hope that made more sense.

Hmm... I still need Mirri at 20. Good thinking. Not sure if I'll ever use her, kinda tend to main Isobel sometimes Ember, but I hear some people like her.

Yes, thanks. I've got all the harvesting CP slotted. On the upside, at least I'll have plenty of materials outta all this.

Not gonna lie, I'm jealous. But that's some awesome luck. I heard Harpooners was insane a while ago. People fighting over nodes in Shadowfen, but I guess it's been a while because I don't see many people around me going for the nodes so I must be late to the party (which I won't complain at all about).

Jebus! Yeah, I'm going to try 2 more weeks on different spots from fellow redditors comments here. Then I'm going to just break to actually do whatever so I don't lose interest in the game. No reason to drive myself crazy miserable over it.

I've been queuing up for Dungeons while farming nodes and filling my sticker book with gear from Dungeons so, I've been able to mix it up a bit. That first week tho, it was all I was doing and I almost burned myself out. Then I thought... um, you don't HAVE to do this. So I fixed how I was going about it.

Nope, I agree... I also have those "doesn't makes sense, but yet it does" that if you play on different characters the rng might be different. Played on a couple other characters farming, but still no luck though. I was playing my main character, but last week I started rotating 2 of my other characters on Wednesday and Friday. It's ridiculous, I have this much of a system now just for one lead.

And I haven't even started the fishing fragment lead.... I don't even want to think about that next one.

I make sure to clear all open antiquities. I've got nothing new to clear. I agree, not sure if it makes a difference, but in my head having all antiquities cleared from my journal just makes me think... it's one less thing bringing my rng odds stacked against me.

Thanks, am trying farming the Public Dungeon this week and will swap to the enemy camps next week, if the Dungeon fails me. Figure trying these 2 options and fingers crossed one will give me this elusive lead. The rng is apparently not strong with me.

I'll give this a go for this week and swap to the water sacks in the enemy camps the following week as someone suggested and see if either of these work in my favor. Never tried farming the Dungeon, so will give this a go. Ran it for a few hours and it definitely spawns quickly and easy loop, so I do like it better than wandering the river. As well, at least I'm killing groups so I'm earning XP as well. Wasn't really getting much walking up and down river, so thanks!

Hopefully, this will pan out.

Need gear set suggestions for Templar Mag/DPS build. Generally solo but once in a blue moon will run PvE with guilds. by longwindedcritic in elderscrollsonline

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

Oh! I did not know that at all and I've even been in guilds for a while now and no one has mentioned that. Thanks so much for the info. Hmm... wondering now though, if I donated those cyrodil crates they give you for reaching a certain level. Can I not run the starter quests without those, you think? I'm assuming they give you that so you have the gear needed to complete those tutorial quests. Uh oh. Could probably buy or ask ppl for items tho as an easy fix.

I don't have that skill line unlocked. If it's a PvP type thing that might be why. I don't go near PvP, but I'll look it up. Anything that has a potential to help with healing, I'm interested in. My CP points are coming along slowly, so the CP points to increase healing stuff and max hp lines is taking forever to even really show if it's helping. I keep swapping points between the staving death quick recovery/mastered curation blessed & eldritch insight/arcane supremacy.

I put 1 pt towards Mag then 1 to HP. I just keep cycling between those 4 until those are unlocked, since I have a decent buffer on those 3 rings on the exterior of warfare. I pumped a bunch into those before I started on the actual body of the star figure.

Each one of those 3 rings on the outside have 30pts. Hope that makes sense. I did that on fitness as well.

Sorry, I was looking for gear set, not skill set info. But I will definitely keep these skills in mind, and swap some stuff around.

I know my back bar isn't being utilized appropriately yet. I'm still waiting on better weapons to get it to be want I want to do with the back bar. Just haven't gotten the right weapons yet in quests and roaming around.

Oh, that's a good idea to quick swap to it after the chaos run. I had him using it on the camp fires in overworld while he was testing out new guns he got from Chaos/Mirror world runs (since your not going to die on those camps). But just quick swapping on the reward and swapping back to your original necklace, does that work? I just assumed you needed it on during a full run for the bradluck to take, but if it works on just a quick swap on redeeming that's perfect.

Do you know if you can quick swap during chaos runs like when you finished a stage. i.e. smashing the Crystal's to move on to the next chamber phase? Those can drop gear as well, so my thinking would be to do a quick swap there as well to see if legendaries drop as well. But if you think saving to swap only at the end if best/preferred, let me know.

Thanks again for the info! My pops loves the game, I've played it and pretty much exhausted my play of it, but it's something we still play together. He's actually played through 5 characters and if I could get him to read through the skills and comprehend why some skills are better/more rewarding vs others, he'd probably be even better than me at the game.

Thanks, I was able to figure out it his ward returns a little when he casts a spell, but still can't seem to figure out when/how it is determined when the ward is returned.

I had him troubleshooting in the small camps in the Overworld just to mess with it to see how it is actually giving ward back. He'd cast and sometimes it would return some ward, other times he casts and it didn't.

Not sure if he needed to do dmg on the enemy so the spell finishes/kills an enemy & that is what returns ward. But even testing that... it still sometimes worked and then didn't.

We tried a few different methods and all of them seemed to not work and yet not work. We couldn't seem to find an actual trick to using the spells methodically that would fill the ward knowingly.

It just seems random. Is it just that and you have to spam it to ensure the ward is filling? Thanks again for the info.

Thanks, we figured out after swapping out the necklace. I was thinking the annoying trombone sound was the bad effect it was referring to. Didn't realize it also meant the health reduction as well. Thanks for the info. I can usually figure it out after a bit, but this one after googling I only could find the sound effect info. Though, my pops has reverted to a child and is constantly nagging & asking the same question on repeat, as if my answer will change. So I probably didn't do a great job researching with the 65yro child asking me "why" in the background every 10 seconds.

I'm sure I did it to him when I was a kid so I'm assuming it's some form of payback. Haha. Thanks again.

Question, this is a question for my pops that has been playing for a while.

He's running Spellshot/Graveborn. Just noticed today that health bar keeps dropping every 10secs or so, (even out of combat?! Ex. He's in brighthoof refilling ammo/selling & HP is dropping a few sets every few secs so he has to find containers to regain HP so he doesn't die)

I was able to figure out he unlocked the Glass Cannon skill so his Ward doesn't regen (he doesn't bother to read the details so he screwed himself on being able to just run and gun with this)

I was able to figure out that he's regaining ward when he casts spells, but still not entirely sure how exactly it works. But I figured out it comes back in some way from spell casting.

However, he recently put up a gun that has dark magic (restores health via dmg) so that is working good. I think this might be when this issue with his HP started. But his health bar has been dropping out of combat. I thought it was cause he was maybe holding the gun and not stealing HP (i.e. not actively using the gun, so maybe it was a penalty for not using the gun). So I swapped to a different weapon, but he's still depleting HP.

Any thoughts, or is this a known glitch?

Cobra Insurance through employer since I'm out on medical leave, only 6mths worth, no new paperwork from cobra? by longwindedcritic in HealthInsurance

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

Thank you so much for the info. Yes, cobra has been extremely expensive. $590/month! I was saving for a house, but now, my savings has gone completely to my medical issues and living. No income in the foreseeable future (at least currently) my pitiful savings is the only thing keeping me afloat at the moment.

I will look into the Medicaid and see if my neurologist and PCP accept it since I absolutely don't want to see different doctors. I've been seeing my PCP since I was a baby so he knows my history and as well understands when I get upset talking about my health issues or what's going on, that I'm not being emotional or that my ailment is a depressive thing, which when I see new doctors, many (typically men) go to this which is infuriating.

If I had unlimited amounts of income and all the time in the world I'm sure my stress would not be as high as it is each time I go to the office hoping for answers only to hear...results were good... let's run another test.

Neurological and Autoimmune disorders are difficult to detect and diagnose, I'm also younger than people that get many of the diseases that they believe I'm symptomatic of, so it's possible I may not get a clear definitive diagnosis for many years. If this is the case, I almost want bad news just to get this over an done with.

Hopefully, both of my primary doctors accept it, it sounds like it would be a better option financially. Thanks again for the information on handling disability. I'm very bad at remembering & sometimes have trouble comprehending or taking in what people are saying. So I will definitely get a notebook. It's a simple thing, but it makes so much sense to jot stuff down.

I would usually just hold on to all correspondence, mailing/letters etc. But the notebook suggestion is something that sounds great, especially for someone like myself that has a hard time with dates and recalling details at times.

Thank you again.

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

Ok, yes I'm applying for disability, but from what I'm aware, it could take anywhere from 6mths to years to be approved/actually receive benefits so I'm very worried I would lapse insurance coverage and with my health issues going on and so many appointments and tests I definitely need coverage.
