How can the in-game guilds be made more relevant?

AdamBourke

The mages guild quest was a lot of fun.I really enjoyed it - and the rewards of Eidetic Memory and a new location were really good ideas. The fighter's guild was not _quite_ as good, but was still an enjoyable questline. I don't like the way you have to grind to unlock the next quest since One Tamriel, but that's not the issue I want to discuss...

Basically, since then the Guilds have become irrelevant. I never go there anymore. I never go to Eyevea. I never go to the Earth Forge. There's nothing there for me. But I want to! Especially the mages guild which in Oblivion and Skyrim were my go-to places for alchemy, enchanting and spellcrafting/purchasing.

So what can ZOS do to make these guilds more appealing? They added daily quests, but since there is now a pretty large number of daily quests available, it's not really a huge draw. Anyone got any other ideas?

Spellcrafting through mages guild

Something else for fighter's guild

Undaunted, dark brotherhood and thieves guild are still popular.

Why not reforging armor, aka transmog? Two birds, one stone.

Let's be ironic here: Necromancy for fighter's guild!

^ Very good idea. And same also for MG's.

Something is needed but I'm not sure what. I never go to Eyevea and only occasionally visit the Earth Forge. They are a couple of empty game areas that need improving.

You can buy the readable books for housing at the mage's guild now which is pretty cool. So maybe some books yo ucan ONLY get at those locations? But I have long wished there was more to do on Eyevea and the Earth Forge. If they EVER get around to implementing weapons dyes it might be kind of cool if you had to go to the Earth Forge to get them. Another neat perk would be the ability to name your weapons at the earth forge. Ditto for transmogging weapons into the motif/style of your choice. Neither of these ideas has any real game functionality though. Some new stand alone quests that have to be picked up and turned in would be neat... maybe yet ANOTHER type of daily quest? Costumes as rewards for a longer questline for the guild would be awesome also. Perhaps an "Arch Mage" robe (PLUS A NEW DYE!) and a Fighter's Guild Master set of armor costume? A new Fighter's Guild set crafting table that unlocks after you've hit max level for Fighter's guild and a new Mages' Guild Master set crafting table accessible after you've hit max level with Mages Guild would also be nice and would no doubt revitalize those areas.

I didn't want to mention spellcrafting because, well, it seems like they aren't coming very soon... But I think that yes, it would be a great way of revitalising the mages guild!

This is a great idea!
