Playing Santa

Cazzy

The previous years I've played ESO I enjoyed the act of gift-giving in Tamriel. I usually do it in the starting zones, which will be trickier this year due to cross alliances, but unless I can think of better way I'll stick with that plan

Would anyone else like to join in? There's lots of newbies around that time of year so it's always nice to welcome them to the community with a useful gift and a friendly hello!

SantieClaws

Khajiit will be up to the usual business at Fishmas yes.

Which in-between the drinking may involve some gifting of seasonal items.

Yours with paws
Santie Claws

KrishakPanettier

Krishak Kringle will be giving away items in random places as we get closer to Christmas on PS4, just like last year.

You know Dremora and Ogrim
And Daedroth and Xivkyn
Scamps and Banekin
And Harvesters and Molag Bal
But do you recall
The most famous daedra of all?

Rudolph the red-nosed clannfear
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows
All of the other clannfear
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Play in any clannfear games

Then one foggy New Life Festival Eve
Matt Firor Claus came to say
(H0 H0 H0)
Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my daedric sleigh tonight?
Then all the clannfear loved him
And they shouted out with glee
(yippee)
Rudolph the red-nosed clannfear
You'll go down in history!

Yes, absolutely. I've got some XP scrolls somewhere, and a crafting bag fit to burst with things.

Spent a few minutes last night showing a new player (here because of the 'free weekend' event) how to fish. A few tips here and there can be just as useful.

Theodard

That is actually a pretty good idea. Giving out some free food that scales to newbies and a bit of green or blue training gear of some various sets. I just might do that this year.

vamp_emily

I was wondering WHEN someone would create a gift-exchange thread. Last year was fun.

Nestor

I can do that. Besides I need to do something with the 5 figures of each crafting Mat I have to make L1 to L14 stuff

teiselaise

As I'm poor I can't give any exciting gifts, I will try my best to help new players learn tho

JiKama

I help new players quite often whether it's a holiday or not. I gave away around 200k to newbies in Davons Watch just for their beginner horses. Its been awhile since I've gave away so much. I gave 15k to a newbie in cyrrodil the other day. They were taking the shoelace express everywhere XD.

Cazzy

Happy to see the regulars still doing it and new participants I feel like we should name this tradition...

No need. Christmas is for everyone. Unless you want lower level gifts?

So is this thread going to be the official "Secret Santa" gift exchange thread? I am so ready to tell everyone what I want santa to bring me.

TheValar85

I woudl like to join you but i am palying on PC/EU mega server

JKorr

I usually do give out stuff, craft stuff, answer questions, and help new players. While I don't have as many lower level mats in stock as Nestor does, its fun to make a crafted set for someone and get to hear "Hey, I didn't die right away. Thanks." Or that their skill for smithing, or enchanting or whatever just increased.

T'was the night before New Life Festival and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a banekin
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In the hopes that Matt Firor Claus soon would be there

The khajiit were nestled all snug in their beds
While visions of skooma plums danced in their heads
And Mama in her kerchief, and I in my Cadwell's Bed Pan hat,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter

Away to the window I flew like a flash
Tore open the shutters, and threw up the sash.
The two moons on the breast of the new fallen snow
Gave the luster of mid-day to objects below
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear
But a minature daedric sleigh, and eight tiny clannfear
With a little old driver, so lively and quick
I knew in a moment it must be Firor Claus

More rapid than cliffracers his coursers they came
And he whistled, and shouted, and call’d them by name
“Now! Dasher, now! Dancer, now! Prancer, and Xivkyn,
On! Comet, on! Cupid, on! Donner and Blitzen;
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!”

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew
With the sleigh full of Crown Store items, and Matt Firor too

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little daedric hoof
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney Matt Firor came with a bound

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot
A bundle of Crown Store goodies he had flung on his back
And he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack

His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath
He had a broad face and a little round belly
That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly!

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself!
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work
And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk
And laying his finger aside of his nose
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle
But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight
"Happy New Life Festival to all, and to all a good-night!"

Sure, it can be I don't think anyone else has started one so may as well do it here.

I started one when you were away. I named it the same as they did last year, but that doesn't mean we can't have two threads.

We can use yours if you want! This one was mostly about getting more people on board to giving random gifts to others over the Christmas period, rather than it being a secret santa, if that makes sense

A deluxe Publius Scipio action figure from the Cyrodiil collection. Full articulation in the arms, detailed scaled weapons, and karate chop action.

Edit: How could I forget! You also want the deluxe South High Rock Gate playset with real opening and closing gate! (Comes with Commander Dortene figurine, batteries not included).

I have dozens of burnt branches, hollowjack motifs, and treasure maps to give away!!

I was thinking something more like:



My own personal Publius Scipio Voodoo doll.
