Just saying hi

antonycatton1

I'm brand new to MMOs,ESO on Xbox one and this forum so just wanted to say hi to everyone.currently enjoying my short time in the game,I'm a lvl 8 Khajiit Night-blade currently wondering around khenarthis roost

antonycatton1

Also is ESO+ worth having if I plan on being here for the long term...with how things are going I can definitely see me staying put and the bonuses look nice for having it.

Welcome to Tamriel Online with a side of Coldharbour! To answer your question yes because you get access to the Crafting Bag, free access to all DLC zones, a 10% boost to gained XP, Gold, Inspiration (crafting xp), and reduce trait research time by 10%. Oh and soon the ability to dye your costumes at will without paying crowns.

P.S. Ignore the naysayers around these forums. Always think positive!

Hello! Welcome to the family!

Definitely would say ESO+ is worth it - you can always try it for a month and see how you get on. There's no commitment to stay subscribed so see how you feel

Hey!!! Enjoy the game!

Welcome!

Here are some tips: start your research now and stay on it, trading guilds are a great way to make gold, activity finder scaled you to 160 champion points so you'll need Grand soul gems.

Welcome!! Glad you are having fun!

Go to the stables as soon as you can and start training your riding skills. You can do that even before getting a mount, though the upgrades will only be applied once you do get a mount. 250 gold per upgrade, with a 20h cooldown. It takes 6 months to upgrade all of the three attributes if you do it all with gold instead of buying Riding Lessons in the Crown Store so get on it!

Thanks everyone,I'll get on to researching stuff,once I know a specific trait for a weapon can I dismantle any duplicate ones then or am I better to sell them for coins??...also took the plunge and got myself a ESO+ sub...especially as I can now try the DLCs and the crowns will come in handy too

Welcome me myself while buying the game when it was released I came back a few weeks ago and am new myself. I just got ESO+. If you want it for a month, be care it AUTO RENEWS, so you will have to cancel it yourself when you want it to stop.

Vaoh

ESO is my first MMO as well!

I hope you enjoy it! Like others have already recommended, start your trait research early and always try to have stuff researching.

Hey there,
Welcome. I love eso plus. I haven't been a subscriber for very long but love the benefits. You've joined eso at a good time. Lots of great DLC have been released and some exciting updates too. Don't let the forums scare you away either, the online community is great and there are countless player-guilds to choose from that are super friendly.

Welcome!!

Great advice above, enjoy if you're anything like me, you'll never want to leave ☺️

Hello and welcome! ESO Plus does have some significant advantages, but honestly there is still the entire original game you can experience without it, so whether you purchase it or not, there is still a lot to enjoy.

antonycatton1

Finally left khenarthis roost last night and arrived in Auridon...gob smacked by how large these maps are,accepted afew more quests,joined the undaunted,fenced some stolen items and did my first Anchor event which was hectic..also started my research too

antonycatton1

Also at the minute I'm just putting my points into stamina and I've put afew in health...should I put some into magic too??can I change this allocation at a later date as well as the points I've put into move sets??

@antonycatton1

Hey there, welcome!
Yes you later can Change Attribute and Skill points for Gold.

And a tip for eso+

I Suggest you to get eso+, but NOT yet.
The biggest benefit I think Is free Access to DLC's.
I'd say Play through the Story first, See what Can be Seen in the 3 alliances(which Is a lot).

Then get eso+ and go trough the dlc's , that's how you get most from your money I guess

antonycatton1

Brilliant thanks for that was worried that I may be stuck with certain moves or skill allocations later on

Yes, at the shrines in Elden Root located in the center of Grahtwood for a price. You can also spend crowns on scrolls that restat or reskill depending on which you buy.

In Ebonheart Pact the shrines are in Mournhold in Deshaan and in Daggerfall Covenant Wayrest in Stormhaven.

Hello and welcome Antony!!! Enjoy your stay here!!! Normally for me, I dismantled everything until I reached lv 50 in each crafting, after that I dismantle only the green, blue, purple, gold weapons/armour and sell the rest. You might also want to invest some skill points in crafting passives to be able to receive better resins etc!

Even if you deconstruct your armor, you can still make a lot of coins. Try joining a guild, so that later on you can sell your materials in the guild store for a decent price (any kind of materials =D look at the guild store and check the prices, then sell anything you have extra or pick up on the road and dont need, alchemy reagents for example such as bugloss etc)!

Dont be afraid of stealing either, it is another great way of making some gold! Please dont buy armor from npcs, it was my first mistake ;____; I didnt start crafting until I was lv 20 and wasted quite a bit of gold with that...

Also at first you dont need super powerful armor (unless you pvp) so there is no need in wasting tannins in making anything of green quality etc. (unless you also try Maelstrom Arena, dont go there unprepared ;____;)

You might also want to focus on cooking and fishing a bit, it sure helps you once you are a higher level and can get you Psijic Ambrosia, very useful as it boosts up your xp. Here is a guide because I am bad at explaining: http://skyrimfansite.com/how-to-craft-psijic-ambrosia-in-the-elder-scrolls-online/

Buying bank space can be expensive at the beginning, but its good you got yourself a subscription because you have a crafting bag.

All in all, enjoy your stay here, you will notice after a few levels all the crafting etc will feel natural to you! Also try to ignore the forums for the most part, we have some fights here and there and because we are humans, we forget to see another point of view, so dont let that inflict with the overall gaming community! Also dont be afraid to ask for help, many people are quite helpful in game!

This game sucks!!

JK welcome to the fun... even if you are Dominion... and console pleb :P

Hey.. welcome. Prepare for more fun-filled journey to come.. There will be some annoyance and frustration, but don't fret. The funness (yes, new word) will much outweigh the latter.

Research Divines above all other traits.

Hi and Welcome to ESO

Devines is the armor trait that boosts the effect of mundos stones
its a very useful trait, especially for PVE and convenient as you can change your mundos stones at any time to optimize yourself for whatever it is you are about to do.

SteveCampsOut

Welcome. I've been a Subscriber since the game came out. ESO+ makes the subscription sooo worth it! You'll enjoy the perks. Don't listen to all the negativity here in the forums. In fact, I recommend only coming to the forums to look for answers to questions you may have and not getting involved in all the trivial arguments going around here.

Glaiceana

Welcome! I hope you have lots of fun in game and here on the forums

You haven't experienced many crashings yet, no? This one thinks you will, and will end up hating ZOS for this.
