What is the best way to help others out ingame?

Love_Daggerfall

So Far to help others out I am doing two things
When walking around if I see peoples health bars low I run to them and heal there health bars.
Also for my Guild I am for ever filling up the Guild bank.

Is there any other ways I can help others out ingame?

A good deed is in the thought. Perhaps ask them what they may need aid with?

Also be careful healing people in town... If you heal a fugitive you will be branded an accomplice and get a bounty and butt-kicking by the local guard yourself lol

As honorable as that statement is I would honestly have to have myself diagnosed for delusion if I saw everyone start acting this way lol

If I see someone asking to buy a vampire or werewolf bite on zone chat, I give mine away for free. I also try to help new players if I can (you usually can tell by the kind of questions), either telling them where to find what they are looking for, crafting stuff for free as long as the materials are provided, or just by giving a hand with a dolmen or world boss.

I love this game and its community and I want it to be even better, so I do what I can to help.

I just bite someone and let them be on their merry little way, but sometimes they pay me anyway lol

Hi. I strongly advise you to not keep filling up any guild banks, as it tends to lead to you being taken advantage of by players who don't appreciate such things.

No offence, but there's a difference between being helpful to others who need it, and just helping others for sake of feeling good for helping others who may not exactly need the help you're giving, more like they just want all they can get. The big difference between need and want, like putting gold into a guild bank for example, that mostly just benefits the guild master, especially if they don't have a guild store or don't intend on going for one, or if you don't personally list items to sell... but obviously putting a few pieces of weapons and armor etc etc in the guild bank is being helpful, since it may come in handy to those who need it, but not everybody can withdraw from a guild bank, keep in mind.

Simple acts of kindness go a long way, you don't really need to show or prove to anybody else that what you did, or done, was kind and helpful, because as long as you acknowledge your kindness then that benefits you on a personal level anyways.

If he feels he can part with something someone else can make use of then it is alright, but I understand your perspective. As Guildmaster of my guild I make sure any Gold deposited is off limits to anyone for personal use, although I have erected a "loan system" for my members that requires them pay back any gold they borrow when they can or else they shall not be able to borrow anymore. Beyond that any gold donated to my guild is for guild purposes only, such as Guild Trader kiosks and the like, including said loan system.

Gold isn't the only thing that can be tossed in though, and what he is tossing in is probably something not of much value but may still be useful to others.

Yeah one thing i love doing is giving out free vampire bites to players that ask me

Winterpsy

In guild:

We are exchanging imperial city trophies.
I hired one of my guildies who loved farming to buy armor sets for me from his tel vars.
We are exchanging crafting mats
We are helping with research and crafting.
Assembling rare motifs, like ambrosia.
We have real player hirelings who collect stuff for other stuff.

The best way to help others, is by nuking them.

Marrtha

I help lowbies run dungeons, do world objectives etc, I like to help out with materials as well. I jump in to help out if I see someone dying to something. Unless it's PvP, then I cloak and run away.

Helping others usually leads to negative or bad results for the helper in game or real life. Look out for number one. Anyone else should be thrown in the deep end to learn to swim.

Its kinda hard to help others in game...especially console because no one talks...

I cant techbically speak for myself off the top of my head but one thing 6 players did for me is...

I made a new alt for EP so i can get a certain color for my character.

Part of the achievement is that I had to finish 6 delves in shadowfen. So the only way i did that was wait in a delge until a player came in, follow them, and eventually attack here and there until we got to a boss.

6 players messaged me, and i sent everuone a thank you and then they replied np saying it was fun (even though i didnt asl i just followed anyways lol)

So yeah....thats not something ive done, but i am speaking for others.because i havent seen this said yet...

And it was noce because no one gave me a hard time. They werent lime "wtf" or lulling mobs towards me. Like i said i didnt even ask i just followed the first person i saw, and one guy even went out of his way to heal me if a monster attacled me lol no one would pull mobs towards me to try to kill me so yeah, all very nice.

The best way to help anyone in game is when they ask for help. Help could be in the form of helping activities or simple guides or questions answering. Selling things not overpriced also can be considered as helping. Giving free bites can also be considered as helping, though personally i think selling it at all nowadays are simply greedy. Also spread the word that bites are free on the zone chat now and then, it's a big help because many (especially newbies) actually oblivious to the fact that there are people who're willing to give it for free.

As for helping on activities, for example dungeon boss or dolmen...well, do it only when you're asked, and do hold back to give the one you help actual good killing time. I often see people on veteran level just butt in on dolmen of low level areas by killing every coldharbour denizen they lay their eyes on...the problem with that is that those veteran players one to two hit kills those daedras, leaving the actual low level players doing almost no damages to the daedras. It's even better if you just help by healing those low level newbies.

This is a very good point you pointed out,
Give gear to others...
How in ESO do you give strangers Gear?
I did say I would make mats for people but I don't even know how to give them the mat once its crafted.
What the hell is a mat anyway?

sigarms

This reminds me of the many times I would like to quick chat a "thank you". But there is no such quick chat, only awkward emotes that by the time I do the gesture the person who helped me is gone. I wish they would add a nice "thanks" or "thank you" to quick chat. I always look like an ingrate, but I am not. The helpful players make my day that much more pleasant. Thanks guys on xbox1 NA.

Dunno about ESO, but in LoTRO some random actually mailed me a full set of jewelry and armour out of the blue... of course it was completely wrong for my character, but still, gave a fair amount of coin when vendored :P

Ok to be honest the best way to help someone out in game is to offer to help and answer when they ask for help, as well as just be nice. Be nice.

TiberX

1.Good advice when they need it
2. Patiente in dugeons and explain tactics, if they are nice and listen
3. Craft them gear, glyphs, whatever
