Experienced Player That Switched From Console to PC

blastton

I've long since decided that console was no longer going to support my needs as a gamer and I wanted to move on from it. After saving for a while I bought a computer that meets my needs. It's not the best but it really seems to get the job done. I then bought the Gold Edition of this game for PC because I already had all the DLC for Xbox. The problem is, I don't know where to start on ESO. I said I was an experienced player but I'm not sure what I can do just starting the game from scratch. I could really use some advice or help. I was thinking of grinding to make up some champion point loss.

Any advice, add-ons, or in game help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

P.S. I'm just a lurker on these forums, I don't usually post, so this was a new experience for me

I would suggest running quests. Focus more on solo play. It's gonna take a while but I think playinv the game as if its a single player rpg may get you back up as quickly as possible (also in 1 T more scaling, more quests, faster to get up)

I agree with Waffennacht, going solo you can do things at your own pace. As an experienced player you should have no problems completing the quest on each map quickly and efficiently, after all you'll already be familiar with most of the maps already.

As a PC player I strongly recommend that you get Minion, it is an add on manager. Using Minion you can quickly and easily find add ons to suit your needs. There are just so many great addons out there it is definitely worth a look.

I don't know what class and build you are planning to use, however I would personally opt for a build that utilises self healing capabilities, as this allows you to stay in the game longer i.e. you can keep on powering though quest and dungeons, without the need for health pots. I would also make good use of AOE damage, you'll be able to kill more mobs quicker and as a result save yourself time running around a room. With enough survivability due to self healing capabilities, you can essentially be a self healing dps tank.

And that's only half of what I use. :P

first of all, I would suggest asking someone to craft you 7 pieces of armor with learning trait (+7% exp from mobs per piece equipped) so that you could level up quickly. then you can check places for grinding or level up doing quests.

then try to invest some points into stealing and save money for a mount - it will speed up your movement between location

and, of course, as suggested above, install add-ons

I've never seen myself as someone that would do the same quests again but I will try this as it does seem like a smart method. I am currently trying to grind up a little to try and bring myself back up but maybe questing would help.

I decided to play as a Stamina Templar because it seemed to suit my needs coming back in. I have found several addons that I believe will help me without the help of Minion but I don't really know if its effective to go without Minion; I haven't tried.

Thanks for these, I already have 3 of those addons so I can tell we have similar taste. I'll probably get the rest right now.

I have gotten my training armor from a very friendly guild that I joined recently and I'm thinking about grinding as a solution to my problems.



Thank you to all that posted these helpful comments, I really needed the advice.
