Re: Are Scribing drops (such as Luminous Ink from resource nodes) account wide?
I can also confirm it is account wide. I have quite a few characters who have never done any scribing quests, and they all find ink now and again.
Re: * Very * alarming interventions over guild names in recent weeks
This is horrible. It looks on the face of it plain bigoted bullying. It might not be relevant, but I've noticed that CS seems to have difficulties with LGBTQ+ issues overall. I reported someone in zone chat for calling a Pacrooti's Hirelings recruiter mentally ill for being gay, and I was told by CS this didn't violate any policies. It gave me pause at the time, but I left it alone. Now, with this, I wonder if there's a larger cultural problem in the CS department.

Re: Sorcerer review and Update 47
Why exactly is there an entire thread dedicated to buffing what are already the strongest offensive & sustain skill lines in the game?
Because they are essentially absent in PvE content, which is why the bulk of the suggestions here focus on increasing Sorc's PvE viability. Skill lines should be legitimately viable in both environments, and not just in niche cases (e.g., needing to streak to door in vAS or running an MK sorc). And even in PvP, I wouldn't call Storm Calling the strongest offensive line. Surely Animal Companion and Assassination are stronger.
Dark Magic on the other hand is extremely underrated for sustain and on a meta sorcblade Crystal Frags very often outperform Merciless Resolve in damage done, while also offering cost reductions & Blood Magic heals. This is due to the buff the skill received in previous patch where it can now proc while on the back bar as well, resulting a lot more frequency in which you can cast it.
Again, there are no "meta sorcblades" in PvE, and no one is using Frags in PvE because Dark Magic is very weak. And even if Frags can outdamage Merciless proc for proc, Merciless is giving you weapon damage and bonus crit chance (at least on the live server), and can heal you in melee range.
The real strength of this skill line however lies in the sustain aspect of it. It is absolutely wild to call Dark Exchange a bad ability because it "has a cast time" when the same ability also:
- Provides a burst heal (8/10k Base Tooltip+Blood Magic passive 3-4k~).
- 3600 Stamina (20 seconds of Warden Netch or 15 seconds of Templar Rune instantly)+additional 240/second for 10 seconds or 4500 Magicka instantly (26 seconds of Warden Netch or 18 seconds of Templar rune instantly)+additional 150/second for 20 seconds.
- Minor Berserk (+Minor Force currently)
Even if Dark Deal isn't a bad skill, Netch is free, cleanses you, gives you 5% crit damage, and can provide and extra 5% damage done on top of activating Flourish. Plar rune heals you (potentially for a lot if you stand in it) and can be used to activate Sacred Ground on top of providing Major Resolve. I think Dark Deal lags behind both of them.
There's a whole lot of other nonsense here
I'm sure there is /s
Other than that, sorcerer skill lines are more than fine and all of them see use in PvP (yes, even Daedric Summoning).
Again: a skill line's utility should not be limited to PvP. Even so, I don't think PvPers are going to complain about more skills and morphs being good within trees that are already good.

The argonian houseboat is equipped with a ladder leading to the roof of the boat. But you cannot use the ladder to go up.

Re: FREE FINEDRIN!
Nope, Finendrin must stay in the stocks, because the voice-over in Rawlkha ('this one sentences him to the stocks until he shows proper repentance...') is one of my comfort things in the game and it'd be sad not to hear it again.

Im searching for:
Letter to Bane of My Existence
Skorkhif's Conundrum
the other ones im missing are the usual bugged
Does anyone know, where to find these two books?
And thanks a lot for your work
Bane is in OC. In the room just before the last boss when you jump down into the water.
Skorhif's conundrum is where the 2nd mini-boss portal spawns on a platform to the left, but it doesn't always show as visble but you can reticle over it and read it - at least I think it is that one. It's either there or in the room just before the 2nd boss with the three tormented wamasu-type things.
Re: Are Redguards in an acceptable state? (2025 Edition)
It's unacceptable to leave Redguard in this state for so long.
WTB sub-racing / race mundus / whatever. We've seen enough powerful Redguard Mages and Breton Knights and so on in the stories by now that it doesn't just go against the "play how you want" philosophy, but contradicts the game's own lore. Aren't the Bosmer also known for their talents as druids? Argonians for their prowess as rogues? If passives are supposed to reflect culture, why would my Valenwood Wood Orc have Wrothgar passives?
