Happy Birthday ESO!

Image
It's been a fantastic three years I joined the Beta of ESO in February of 2014 and here I am, three years later, for the third anniversary of Elder Scrolls Online, and it's been a FANTASTIC ride! I have been a massive Elder Scrolls fan since Morrowind (the peak of my gaming experience) and then very much enjoyed Oblivion and Skyrim (with 550+ hours... >_<  o.O) so I was sold on ESO before I even knew if it would be good, but it was! It was really good! And I was hooked. I participated a bit on the forums (and I still do occasionally) and meet with a group of other Oceanic Timezone people and formed a guild with them.  The guild still exists, though more as a way to keep in touch with the few people who still play, but one of those people I would consider a friend, and I even catch up with him in real life occasionally! *waves* Hello Manic! ^_^ I took my time as worked my way through the content on my one main character (and the thought of leveling anot...

Trading Furniture

Image
But I can't find what I'm looking for! So, you're bought a lovely house and you're looking for juuuust the right bit to fill it. If you're on a console, you'll have to search and search through the guild stores looking for that perfect recipe or furnishing, but if you're on PC, you're in luck! Check out the Tamriel Trade Centre website and search for exactly what you're looking for! I've used this multiple times to find exactly the pattern I'm looking for, and it's sort-able by time last seen or price, which is particularly helpful. And it's not just for furniture of course; you can search for any items that can be found in a guild store. You can help out by installing the companion mod which will upload what it sees in a guild store to the database. Today's Video

Sleek Creek

Image
Finally It's been nearly 2 months since Homestead launched (is that right?) and I finally have Sleek Creek decorated to my (almost) satisfaction and it's turned into a comfortable home. I picked Sleek Creek specifically for the water it has running through the property; it's the only affordable house with that luxury. The other thing that makes it great for a first house are the large garden areas, and the small inside areas. It's REMARKABLY hard to accumulate furniture by either farming or buying off other players. This is meant to be end-game content, so it should take a while, it's just I want it NOW (and I don't want to pay crowns to get there). So picking a small house was the trick to getting it feel "full" and "finished". When judging the Pact Militia Housing Competition something that was clear was people just didn't have enough "stuff" to fill their houses. Picking a small house with a big garden makes t...

Farming for Furnishings

Image
Coldharbour - that is all As you can see from the video below, this was a VERY good run through Coldharbour, but I've had better. I've now picked up about 5 purple furnishing recipes from there and it's worth taking your time and looking in EVERY container. I've also had some luck with lower-level provisioning recipes dropping from here, including a purple recipe I didn't know. Learning as many purple and yellow provisioning recipes as possible is VERY important to improve your chance of getting a Provisioning Master Writ (and improves the chance you know how to actually make the item to complete it) Tips Coldharbor Go around Coldharbour as often as you can Open every wardrobe, trunk, dresser, cabinet (best drop chance), crate, barrel, basket, and sack (lower drop chance) If you have ESO+ save EVERYTHING. If you don't have ESO+ save all style materials, decorative wax and flour Weapons and armour found in containers (unless green) have a tiny chance...

PvP with Pact Militia

Image
Hmm, I suppose this could be confusing I was re-watching the video below, and I'm realising that we're using a LOT of jargon. You kind of have to in this situation, where a group of 24 people are trying to react quickly to a situation, and trying to wind, but it DOES make it confusing for someone who is not used to it. So, for the convenience of those who haven't thrown themselves into the exciting world of PvP, a glossary. Glossary PvP - Player vs Player, as opposed to Player vs Environment (the pre-programed characters and monsters in the rest of the game) Ult - Ultimate - a very powerful ability or spell that can turn the tide of a battle if used and timed correctly. Ulimates require normal combat to 'charge up' so they're not always available Barrier - You'll hear me calling out that I have "Barrier" ready; that's the Ultimate I was using at the time VE - Vehemence - the guild we're fighting in this video with the blue (DC) ...
