Always played with first person on these games. 3rd is cool too just never feels like the correct way to play it.

exactly how I feel about it. I can't play an elder scrolls game in third person.
Any game that give me the option to play in first or third, its always first for me.

Fair enough, each to their own I guess, coming off the back of the witcher it felt even more right for me, it's all good anyway.
my best crafting daily so far (i got some equipment to destroy too)
you can adjust the ui to take the whole screen and not leave gaps, specially noticeable with loading screens. not nitpicking, it's all good, just saying the option is there for anyone interested.

Got a Nord racial motif and used it. Why are these things so valuable and coveted by other players?
it lets you craft armor and weapons from a particular race without your character belonging to that race.
So someone, like me, prefers Breton medium armor to Redguard and my character is a Redguard only way for me to craft in the Breton style is if I have the Breton motif. It's purely for aesthetics reasons but some races have hideous looking armor.

So i had the mmo itch and decided to pick this up for xbone. Is there a guild of sorts that is running for the xbox one version or are people playing on ps4.

I have NO idea, its PURELY cosmetic.
All it does is change the LOOK of what ever you decide to craft, and dudes wanna charge like 100k for a single motif........

Well, most of the users in this thread plays the PS4 version, Im not sure if the guild is active at all on Xbox. I haven't seen any post about the xbox version in a while in this thread. maybe they are in another thread or using some other form of communication.

too bad you aint on PS4 because I can craft that set with just about every weapon and armor piece now.

Oh, right then. Thanks! Seems a bit weird, but not unwelcome. Still don't get why some people so badly want them, though.

You talking about adjusting the screen? That option has never worked for me. It just won't move from default.

3 times tonight the game booted me, not a server issue, but dashboard boot on PS4 issue.
Odd, sometimes I get it a few times, I don't know if those crash reports actually go anywhere but I always send them afterwards. Tonight a friend got disconnected from ESO a few times, disconnected from the games servers that is. While I was joking about his terrible internet connection it decided to kick me off too.

The bank in Auridon seems like a really good place to steal. Been using that instead of the ships in Daggerfall lately. There's mostly green treasure and sometimes you'll find blue. Also found a purple motif and some purple recipes including one that raises health, stamina, magicka.

What's the best way to go about that? Loot all of the containers/cabinets and then log out/log in?
-Thanatos-

Yeah doing that will reset all the containers and you can loot them all again. I just keep doing that till my inventory is full then go sell everything at the outlaw's refuge.

What are some good items to spend gold on?
I've got 100k. More bank and Inventory space than I really need, a horse, good gear for my level.
I've been hoarding all this coin and now realizing that I never buy anything especially since I can craft it myself or find it eventually. Also, I think its funner to find a great piece of loot rather than just buy it.

Stealing things marked as treasure and selling them to the fences at the outlaw's refuge. If you're DC there are 2 ships in the northern docks of Daggerfall with no one on them and a lot containers to loot. If you're AD then the bank at Vulkhel's Guard is another good place but there a bunch of NPCs there so you have to be a bit more careful.
We've done some group dungeons and I've seen some others join up to just to do stuff like fighting group bosses on the world map.
We need to get together for PvP it's like... I feel like missing out on 40% of the game and a good way to level up as well
NA or EU? An officer will probably spot your post and send you a guild invite. What faction did you choose? The guild is Daggerfall Covenant on NA Xbox.
Because they are blue or purple drops and people want to make sets of armor/weapons that look different from the basic stuff? The blue ones like the Nord motif drop all-in-one, but the purple ones (Dwemer, etc) only drop a piece at a time (ie: shoulders, shields, etc).

On Xbox, the blue motifs don't seem that coveted. They're selling for about 3K.
Between a trip to the Wayrest traders and sitting in the Shornhelm blacksmith shop, I was able to get a full set in about an hour. For two of them, I only paid 2K and 2.5K.
I've overheard barbaric selling for 70K, Daedric for 50K and Dwemer for 10K a slot. I really want Daedric, but I'll probably just wait to get lucky.

I got an idea on what you can spend your gold on.........................buying me more bank space, LULZ.
but seriously, being a master crafter, my bank STAY full, I have to mail myself stuff just to make room, I have over 30 stacks of items in my mail from all the crafting materials I have. I got 9 stacks of 200 dwemer ignots.............. Even if I had 200 bank slots, still wouldn't be enough. Hoarding ALL that shit.
If they put bank space for sale in the crown store, they'd be fucking billionaires by now.
Most of still focusing on just doing quest and leveling up. THats the mostly solo part. Every now and then, we'd get together and do public, group dungeons and some world bosses and such. But with everyone being all different levels, makes grouping up difficult till the veteran levels.
Only time I switch to 3rd person is if I'm sneaking through dungeons to get a better view of my surroundings. Otherwise its 99% first person...classic Elder Scrolls.

Man, your wasting your time doing those writs trying to level up crafting.
Read this post I posted eariler.
But yo, I found a fast way to level up your crafting skills that involves deconstructing.
It was taking me FOR EVER to level up my crafting skills before, but when I started doing a lot of stealing to make some cash to buy the next bankspace upgrade(38k) I noticed my crafting skills bar was up a lot higher than I thought they were.
While I was deconstructing, I noticed the bar moving up a lot faster. I thought it was the items level, but some items of the same quality and level, werent even moving the exp bar, and some were.
So I took a closer look at the items, then I noticed, ok, some are stolen, some not. "I wonder if that makes a difference", I thought.
Deconstructed two of the exact item, one stolen, one not stolen, the one not stolen, didnt even move the exp bar. The one stolen, VERY noticable boost in the exp bar.
By the time I got done stealing for around two hours or so, my blacksmithing went up almost ten damn levels...........holy shit. Went from 37 to 45 in blacksmithing. Went from 28 woodworking to 33. Went from 32 to 38 with clothing.
by pure accident, I noticed that deconstructing items that are stolen gives multiple times more exp than items found/scavenged in the world.
I'd have to deconstruct around ten or so items to get the same exp I got from deconstructing one of the same item that was stolen.

I only play in first person when the third-person camera bugs out. Tends to happen inside tents and the like.
I like first person, but you're just giving up way too much information in difficult battles, like not seeing that guy behind you getting ready to land a Wrecking Blow.

I've got a general question about leveling. Last night I log in, I'm level 6. I spent about 2 hours of what I consider to be high speed questing, and when I logged out I was only level 7. Is this basically the speed of which leveling occurs, or would I have done better to kill more enemies and earn XP that way?
You don't get a lot of experience from turning in quests. I'm only in my 20s right now, so I'm not really sure what the most optimal way to get XP is.
Reading books helps, I got two levels of Woodworking just by reading books in Daggerfall mage guild.

Any time I'm in a new building I make sure I check around for bookshelves and stacks of books. Gotta love free skill levels.

I'm assuming that at level 24 I'm to low to buy the guild tabard on the ps4 eu guild store?

i cant access crafting writs anymore...i originally started a crafting writ with my first character at lvl15, and accidently abandoned the quest for it. Ever since then i cant access them. Now im on a new character at lvl 30 and i cant access any craft writ quests. wtf.

Grinding mobs is definitely the best way to level. It's also a good way to get gear.
You'll miss out on a lot if you just grind, but it's a good way to skip all of the side quests, which I find to be tedious.

Just wanted to pop in and ask a quick question, is there a FOV slider on Consoles?
