If you haven't completed the fighter's guild quest line, and you don't wish to learn anything about it or spoil it, then stop reading now.



Otherwise, does anyone know or happen to have a link or screenshot of the base damage to daedra/undead when the weapon is scaled to max? Would be V12 I believe.

    The Prismatic Weapon is the only solo quest reward I know of that's better than a regular green, blue, or purple dropped item.
    It can scale up to VR 12 and is always part of the Orgnum's Scales set (which can also be crafted but has a set bonus that isn't very good for most builds, unfortunately).

    If you do want a weapon with that set bonus, you're probably slightly better off using a crafted VR 14 weapon of the same set which has better stats than the VR 12 Prismatic Weapon.

    The Enchantment on the Prismatic Weapon is a unique one that you can't get on any other weapon, but it's not as powerful as it might seem: 880 damage every 5 seconds (let's assume it triggers once in 5 seconds even though it's probably less often if you test it). That's 176 dps added in the very best case, only versus daedric and undead enemies. Against all other enemies it does nothing.

    So unfortunately, the weapon is not really worth keeping/using for its stats. It does have an Akaviri style look though (like some PvP set weapons do).

    The silver and gold keys from daily Undaunted pledges, on the other hand, are definitely worth keeping until you are VR 14 :) I'd also recommend not spending any AP on PvP set items that aren't VR 14 :)

    The Prismatic Long Bow at VR12 is a neat weapon to have, and not many have it at that level. It has a unique enchantment, but it is far too specific to be of any real use. A VR14 Dominion's Bow (Eagle Eye set) is far better. At legendary it does 1,132 weapon damage plus 1,000 Unresistible damage, which affects any type of target. I don't care how much armor or what kinds of resists you have, you are going to take a minimum of 1,000 damage from that bow.

    The Prismatic Long Bow is good for putting expert hunter (and it's morph's) on your bar and doing dolmens with it, or dungeons with Daedra / undead. Or you could use it to hunt Vampires in Cyrodiil....other than that...

    What all weapons can you make? All the weapons? Or just certain types? Like can you make a prismatic dagger?

    There are only a certain number of player crafted sets. There are over 100 sets in ESO and only 17 or so of them are crafted. The Prismatic weapons are unique rewards from the storyline.

    They may be asking what choices you have during the crafting process of the quest. I don't remember to be honest, and I've gone through it 3 times lol. I know you can choose to make a Bow or a 2H for sure. Dunno about daggers.

    You can only make the prismatic weapons at the end of the quest line, but you can make similar weapons elsewhere in the game.

    The Prismatic weapons cannot be upgraded to legendary. Neither can several other unique weapons.

    Wait, it isn't possible to get a VR 14 prismatic weapon? I was hoping to get one for my Templar once he reached VR14.

    VR12 is max and as far as I know it can't be upgraded past epic.

    VR 12 is the max, the quest only scales up to that level. The prismatic weapons can be upgraded to legendary quality:

    Nice. It used to not be able to. The weapon wouldn't even show up in your inventory when you tried to upgrade it. There are other weapons, such as Erthas' Bow which still cannot be upgraded.

    I still have no idea why people are fascinated by this weapon, it's so very niche and as a result quite lacklustre when compared with other weapons.

    Because like many other things in ESO, it's something that not many other players have. I have a complete, legendary VR10 Shroud Of The Lich set. It's niche and doesn't really have any particular use, but it's hard to get and not very many players have it, much less a complete legendary set.

    Who know, maybe one day if they implement player housing we can have display cases or an armory and put things like this on display.
