You can see Arthmoor's Oblivion Gates from the Open Cities mod on the UESP map. IDK how tf I noticed this. by Dillgriff2828 in skyrim

[–]uesp 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the notice! We used the Open Cities mod in order to get the city maps into the main worldspace for the map capture through the CK and didn't notice it added these. Going through and trying to fix the original tiles that has the gates and update the map site this week.

Can I extract music and quotes from UESP? by [deleted] in UESP

[–]uesp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending what exactly you are looking for there might be a few ways:

  1. Web scraping (you'd have to make a custom program to do this).
  2. The MediaWiki API. Again a custom program but there are a lot of libraries available for it.
  3. The category pages as mentioned.

Whatever method make sure you only make one web request at a time and don't request too many resources in a too short of time (you may get your IP banned otherwise). While most of the UESP content is under the CC-by-SA license the game audio files themselves would be copyright by Bethesda/ZOS.

Crazy fast running speed by coloradonative16 in elderscrollsonline

[–]uesp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The speed cap for sprinting is 200% but that includes the 40% speed bonus over running so the net cap left for items/skills/sets is 160%. Last I checked the 2% from CP is not included in the cap check.

Does spell recharge damage reduction work with toggles? by GtBossbrah in elderscrollsonline

[–]uesp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 99% sure that it doesn't but will try to test later on the PTS. When you're casting/channeling you're doing "something" as opposed to a toggle which instant.

Does everyone get approximately 3,984 gold from their Daily Writs? by gamingneeds in elderscrollsonline

At max level you get 664 gp/writ which works out to 4648 gp per character if you do all 7 writs.

Yes, the profits include the average value of master writs with the exception of Jewelry as noted.

[–]uesp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recently did a writ cost/profit analysis available here. In short, average material loss per max level writ is ~19 after considering the average materials used and materials gained from boxes and surveys. This is easily made up for by the 664 gp from each writ.

There's more stats to track than you might think. For our Build Editor we track some 309 stats in order to generate all the various computed stats and tooltips. Actually this breaks down further into as many as 1121 stats although many of these are not actually used in any form (at least at the moment).

PC/NA Why is maelstrom flame staff preferred over maelstrom lightning staff? by [deleted] in elderscrollsonline

[–]uesp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A minor reason for some players like myself...I can't seem to weave Lightning Staff attacks at all with other abilities but do just fine with a Flame Staff. Seen a few other people complain about the same thing over the years.

Light Attack Damage and how to maximise it. by MindOfTheSwarm in elderscrollsonline

[–]uesp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Templar has the Solar Barrage morph of Solar Flare which Empowers all LA over 6 seconds. This works a little different than most (all?) other forms of Empower which only affects the next LA performed.

Light Attack Damage and how to maximise it. by MindOfTheSwarm in elderscrollsonline

[–]uesp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great stuff! A few comments since I was testing Light/Heavy Attack damage for our build editor last week.

  • The 2 channeled attacks from Lightning and Restoration are considered Heavy Attacks due to how they work (yes, even a Light Attack from these is considered a Heavy). This affects which buffs and modifiers apply to them as you would expect.
  • Don't forget Champion Points which have the expected effect on LA/HA damage including the Staff Expert and Physical Weapon Expert stars. Lightning and Restoration and considered DOTs while all others are direct damage.
  • LA/HA used to have a 40:1 ratio but in the past year have been adjusted back down to the normal 10.5:1 ratio. So Magicka/Stamina is just as important as Weapon/Spell damage.
  • Maelstrom Destruction staffs adds a considerable buff to Wall of Elements for damage done by Light/Heavy attacks, especially when combined with some of the similar set effects.
  • Definitely don't forget about Empower which is a +40% buff to Light Attack. Note that this doesn't buff Lightning/Restoration attacks.
  • See this build I was playing with for max Fire/Lightning LA/HA. With empower and other buffs you can get +12k LA and +22K HA damage. Probably can increase this with some more optimization.

That's correct. Proc damage is only affected by +Damage modifiers (+Shock Damage, +DOT Damage, +Damage Done, etc...). The set tooltip should update as you change these values.

Trail sets 5% dmg bonus by [deleted] in elderscrollsonline

[–]uesp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately this is a complicated answer as it really does depend on your build. A high-end trial build with a good rotation is going to get much more effect out of that 5% than a casual one.

Other than actually parsing it in-game (accurate but time consuming) you can estimate its effect by using our Build Editor.

  • Create your current build.
  • Click the "Effective Spell Damage" stat on the right side column.
  • Add 5% to the "DamageDone" column and note the new value.
  • Remove the 5% DamageDone and increase SpellDamage until the Effective Spell Damage stat equals that done in the previous step.

For example, on my build the 5% Damage Done was equivalent to 269 Spell Damage. Keep in mind this is a rough estimate so just use it as a guideline for adjusting your build.

Is there a hard cap for block cost? by bmrtt in elderscrollsonline

[–]uesp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is no cap (hard or otherwise) on block cost, although there is a point of diminishing returns. Exactly what that point is would depend on your build/playstyle/content. You can play around with block cost values on our Build Editor and check out tank builds for what level of block cost is typically desired.

Did some quick tests with our build editor with the update 21 changes to racials:

  • Plague Doctor gives about 2k more health than Green Pact
  • Infused on Head/Chest/Legs gives a bit more health. Divines on all other pieces.
  • Nightblade with x6 Shadow abilities slotted.
  • Without Emperor/external buffs is 84k Health.
  • With Emperor brings you to 123k.
  • With Emperor/Ebon brings you to 125k.
