What styles are the Master weapons?

Madrr

So yeah, what styles are the Master weapons?

O_LYKOS

I believe they are their own style, like maelstrom weapons. A unique style not in the game anywhere else

yukikenzo

Master weapons' style are the 5th tier of the racial motifs.

Inferno staff: Dunmer
Frost staff: Nord (or Draugr weapon style)
Lightning staff: Altmer
Restoration staff: Breton
Bow:
Shield: Dunmer
Dagger: Khajiit
Axe: ???
Mace: ???
Sword: Nord (or Draugr weapon style)
Greatsword: Redguard
Battle axe: ???
Maul: ???

Dunno about the axes and the hammers. Forgot which style the bow was.
All of them are not craftable (yet) except for Draugr.

The shield is unique as it was recently added this patch, I believe the axes, mace and maul are also unique as they didn't exist before this patch. The bow is bosmer I think, it's pretty boring looking.

If it only half answered the question, what do I answer? Lol. I know that they are special styles. They're different versions of already existing styles.

A friend and I were just wondering and comparing with what some sites have said. They were partially correct.

Yes, but they're even special versions of the racial motifs. The lightning staff is definitely not alter though. It looks more like glass, which just happens to be type of elven motif. Breton looks like half of the resto staff.

The shield is 5th tier Dunmer. Just take a look at the ordinator guards running around in Mournhold.
All of them are 5th tier. I just don't know about those that were added recently since I never got a chance to see them yet.

As I already stated their style is the 5th crafting tier of the racial styles which are not accessible to us right now.
You can see them here: http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Altmer_Style (click through the races at the bottom)
The Master's Lightning staff existed in the game before the Glass style was even added.

I recreated the staves. The alter statement is wrong..

How can you 'recreate' a weapon style if not crafting it when nobody has the possibility to craft the 5th tier of the styles?
Did you even check the link I posted? Did you look at the icon of the 5th tier Altmer staff?

Tryxus

Lightning Staff: Altmer
Mace: Argonian
Bow: Bosmer
Resto Staff: Breton
Inferno Staff: Dunmer
Maul: Dunmer
Shield: Dunmer
Axe: Khajiit
Dagger: Khajiit
Sword: Nord
Ice Staff: Nord
Battleaxe: Orc
Greatsword: Redguard

You can see similarities in some of the styles. Which is why I said that I recreated it.. The one altmer staff looks like the glass staff is what I am saying. I've looked at http://teso-guides.com/the-elder-scrolls-online-item-sets-master-weapons and I will standby what I said.

There is really no point in discussing that now since you are only believing what you think is right.
You were asking what style the master weapons are. A few of us gave you an answer based on our 'research.'
Btw you should check your link first. The information you got there is not up to date.

The Glass style was added into the game with the release of the Imperial City DLC. The Master's Lightning staff existed way before that (Upper Craglorn with the release of Dragonstar Arena and Sanctum Ophidia)

Does anyone here have a picture of the greataxe? If it is orc, I want to see it before I look for a group, as vDSA can be a pain.

The Masters Mace, if I had to guess, is either a 5th tier primal or Argonian.

Sidenote, give us the ability to use the 5th tier weapons at least. Please. I'd like for my Khajiit shield to not suck.;

The Dro-m'athra style shares the same textures with tier 5 khajiit, the only difference is the axe and those neon blue stripes. Also all weapons that drop from Maw of Lorkhaj are tier 5 khajiit weapons (including shield).

Thank you. It looks terrible.

Master staves do not resemble any of the racial styles, not even in lower tiers:



They're a unique design.

They're the racial styles on a tier that is impossible to craft hence why they're "Masters".

yukikenzo

The only unique things about the Master's weapons are their color (which is not based on the crafting material level) and the fancy glow they emit when you draw them.

I did, which is why I went to check out what a tier-5 (yew) Dunmer staff looked like on the ESO Fashion database:
https://eso.mmo-fashion.com/dunmer-yew-staff/

And it didn't look anything like my Master inferno.

Or does tier-5 mean something entirely different in this context?

I get that the style information for the Master's inferno is listed as Dunmer (and I have the TraitBuddy addon, so this is the FIRST thing I noticed, believe me). But a lot of unique item sets have "dummy" info in this field:



Like certain monster pieces listed as Akaviri, or the Ebon Armory set being listed as Soul Shriven, when it's clearly a unique variant of the Ebony style.

It shows the different tiers here; the information about which materials amount to which tiers isn't accurate though.
It's a bit sad for all the items that aren't represented as master weapons...

TheYKcid

@ToRelax

Interesting. So in this case, "tier" refers to the range of levels over which a crafted item exhibits a certain design (in terms of the item model). And not the tier of the material.

Makes me wonder if ZOS ever intended to implement new material tiers beyond cp160, since the models and icons already exist.
