Can Telvar stones be used in Orsinium?

puffy99

Is there any use for the stones other than the crappy sets in IC?
Will they be able to be used in Orsinium?

No. TelVar stones can only be used in Imperial City

You can use them to buy things like VR15 & VR16 crafting mats, potency runes, etc. I know I'm just about ready to make my VR16 tanking gear (finally decided on what combo of dropped and crafted gear I want for it), and I'll be spending my TV stones on mats for it.

Yeah i didn't spend the time doing all that tedious research crap. Not something i really enjoy. If you could buy D Wax that would be cool, but no...... If you want to trade stones for Dwax or Magnus/Krag v16 set let me know. I have 20K plus... psn puffy9999

My main is v15 soon to be v16. I have been saving my TV stones and am up to around 30k. I'm a little confused on what to spend them on so I've just been saving them. So you're saying that I should spend them on the crafting mats that the general TV vendor sells? What else should I get?

You could alway buy crafting mats and v15/16 runes with T stone, then sell them in your guild stores for pretty good gold.

to be honest, only need 4 traits on armor for most favoured magicka/tank sets and 6 traits for hundings/night mother. short of being a healing staff healer you probably wont need to go beyond that

and only on 5 pieces of armor for which you can buy most traits on armor from guild stores for 1 to 2k gold. and 4SP for 3 researches at once. isn't much.

probably get to a good crafting level in a few weeks if you focus on the same 5 armor pieces. and weapons even quicker.

still need the enchants, enchant mats to min/max, or mats for guild mate to make the gear?
or just buy rubedo leather with the stones and sell for gold and buy your armor sets.

thanks - really good advice!

That's what I'm spending mine on for sure. Because the VR16 gear takes so many mats to make, and the amount of mats you get from drops is pretty low, buying the extra mats I need with TV stones just seems like the smart way to go. Since I need multiple gear sets for my 1 VR16 character (because I swap between tanking, healing, and DPS - there's a lot of overlap between my DPS gear and my healing gear, though), I need significantly more mats than I've got from deconning dropped gear, so I'm planning on spending all of my TV stones on that. And of course I'll eventually need mats for my other characters - especially the one who's currently at VR12, and who I'm planning to start playing a lot more often in the next few months.

No, but I'm sure ZOS will introduce 20 confusing new currencies to the game by this time next year, some of which can be spent there, and some of which can only be bought with Dinars and only be spent on the 5th of April while standing on your head in one section of the Clockwork City.

You currently need TV stones to get vr16 potency runes to craft vr16 glyphs for your new gear, if any of it is crafted (or if you want to change the enchants on your jewelry). These might be possible to pick up in the wild (albeit rarely) in Orsinium, I think?

There are some polymorph/costumes available (rarely) in some of the random item TV stone merchant boxes.
Other than that, just the weird IC special sets and vr15/16 materials.

So they make a currency that is only worth having at v15-v16? When the veteran ranks go to v17-v18. All that work I did to craft and enchant all my v16 gear would be for nothing? Then we will have to do it again for the v17-v18 gear with a new currency? I'm not understanding it totally.

If this is the case. They can keep that dlc. I'm just going to move on.

puffy99

capitalism... yeah there will be other choices, we will see how good or bad fallout is..

Nope. Orsinium's new currency will be Orc Teeth!

It's actually a new Orsinium Hair product line. "Orc Teeth by Clan Murtag'Sasoon"
