Hey, everyone. Here's your *better late than never* Ask Us Anything from our previous episode of ESO Live. We'll make sure to get these up sooner.

@Screamer19b14_ESO: Going forward, do you plan to have cycles of items leaving/returning to the Crown Store, and do you plan to hold corresponding sales at these times?
During the planning of this past event, there were a lot of good reasons to hold a corresponding sale (a big one being that the console copy was coming up). We can’t say that this will always be the case, though. You should expect to see items coming and going from the store, and want to keep it new and interesting. We do plan to let everyone know when we intend to remove an item from the store.

@TomUchia: Will all weapons get their own animation one day? It looks weird to “stab” with your mace as if you’re wielding a dagger.
We agree this would be an improvement, though it isn’t likely to happen in the near future.

@Pema: Dear ZOS, please tell us why the game time cards are more limited than the dwemer style book? I've been asking about making them available for quite a while (January this year) and everywhere I look they are out of stock. Could you elaborate what is going on?
Next week when ESOTU launches on consoles, there will be a variety of crown cards added to select retailers. You can purchase crown cards and ESO Plus cards for PS4 at Best Buy, Amazon, and Gamestop, and crown cards for Xbox One at Best Buy, Amazon, Gamestop, and Walmart (ESO Plus cards will be available for Xbox One a bit later). ESO Plus cards for PC will be available again in the coming months.

@Chufu: Do you still plan to improve fishing?
Yes, absolutely. We are currently exploring some incremental improvements we can get online in the near to mid-term, while larger scale improvements will be further out.

@Screamer19b14_ESO: Now that the blacksmithing and provisioning costumes have been removed from the Crown Store, are there any plans to create costumes for the other 4 professions?
We would like to offer everyone something for each profession. With that said, we want to improve working with the community as a whole to find out what you guys want to see in the store. We have been reading! Expect to see more proactive communication about this in the near future.

@Enodoc: If Upper Craglorn is the "third region of Craglorn", per its promotional materials, that means Lower Craglorn is made up of two regions (presumably the region to the west of Belkarth, and the region to the east of Belkarth). Do these two regions of Lower Craglorn have names?
Phrastus of Elinhir says, “Here in Craglorn, we refer to those areas as the ‘Belkarth Region’ and the ‘Elinhir Region,’ for reasons that should be obvious. Are you in the Elinhir area now? Stop in sometime and buy me a drink!”

@Randolphbenoit: With more and more players joining the game, competition for traders has gotten crazy. The cost of bid vs money made from sales has greatly widened. Guild traders are now costly due to small amount of traders available. It comes down to rich guilds pushing out smaller ones. What are some suggestions for smaller guilds to compete, and are there future plans to add more traders?
We plan to continue to add Guild Traders along with new content like we did with the Outlaw Refuges, provided the demand continues. This is something we are continuing to monitor, and will adjust for as needed. In terms of suggestions, we’d advise smaller guilds to look at some of the more out of the way Guild Traders, as the competition for high traffic locations is extremely fierce.

Solace of Shadows: I heard that there was an "Ancient Bosmer Cookbook". I haven't seen it anywhere and I think I either misheard or someone was joking.
While we can’t give many specifics, we are looking into the possibility of adding culturally influenced recipes that expand upon the traditional dietary needs in order to provide opportunities for you to observe your character’s heritage. For example, Bosmer characters might feel more comfortable crafting and enjoying a wider array of food types (and their associated benefits) exclusively from meats while they are within the Valenwood.

@schonwiederichb16_ESO: If/when shields can be dyed, will we be able to add guild heraldry to them too?
While shield dyeing is something we are looking to get in soon™, it will not include guild heraldry.

Solace of Shadows: Will having pets ever give you slight bonuses (+1% dodge and -1% attack for fox, +1% piercing and -1% defense for cat? +1% speed and -1% Alchemy for raven)? They could be familiars instead of pets and add to the customization of a character. So far, as I can tell, pets are nothing but cosmetic and while that's fine for some, it would encourage others to spend crowns if there was more substance to them.
While we like substance, we’d prefer pets to remain as fun cosmetic items. We don’t want you to feel forced to use certain pets for certain situations or become blocked due to not owning one, and don’t want those who love cats to feel like you have to be surrounded by dogs due to a bonus. That said, making pets more compelling is something we continue to explore.

@Varicite: Is there a reason that using the Major Expedition buff from Double-Take while stealthed makes you move SLOWER than using Major Expedition buff from Rapid Maneuver while stealthed? They both say 40% faster movement speed, but using Double-Take while stealthed is noticeably slower than Rapid Maneuver.
Good catch! That’s definitely a bug. Double Take will give the same amount of movement speed increase in our next major update.

@Chufu: Can we expect to see additional symbols for guild heraldry?
While we don’t have anything in the pipeline for this at the moment, it is something we will likely expand in the future in one way or another.

@Nahz: Do the channeled heavy attacks from restoration and lightning staves proc the daedroth summoning effect of the Maw of the Infernal set, or is the proc chance only on the final "blast" of those heavy attacks?
All ticks of restoration and lightning staves have a chance to summon the daedroth. Enjoy!

@TomUchia: Will we be able to fight and defeat other Daedric princes in the future? (Spoiler: After we defeated Molag Bal, Meridia tells us that we have to prepare for coming conflicts and that our real enemies aren’t mortal.
Sir Cadwell says, “Odd’s Goose! I’m counting on it! I’ve been practicing, you see, at fighting Daedric Princes by knocking melons off fence posts with a garden rake. That’s how it’s done, isn’t it? Just line them up: Clavicus Vile, Mephala, Nocturnal—I’m ready for them! Tally ***!”
