    Will our dye station we currently have at our homes be changed to the outfit station?

    And can we dye armor/clothing at the outfit station?

    With the Level Up Advisor, every time one of your characters gains a level, you will receive gameplay tips and useful rewards

    So what about people that are already at max lvl ? will they get the rewards etc via mail or auto added to inv/craft bag

    In addition to Mor Khazgur, we're introducing the dark caverns of the Deeping Drome. In this long-forgotten Dwarven ruin, you'll carefully navigate claustrophobic pathways filled with the bones of would-be champions. This new arena is built for deadly ambushes and stealthy playstyles, so watch your back!
    :D I can't decide if this is a chance to rek more wannabe gankers, or just one more reason not to be interested in BGs.
    Whether you're a veteran dungeon delver looking for a challenge, a PvP warrior longing for new Battlegrounds to conquer, or a role-player seeking a stylish new look for every occasion, there's something for everyone in this latest update.
    Of all the things PVPers "long for" out of BGs, I can assure you new maps are not anywhere near the top of the list.

    Edit: oh snap, they're going back to non-CP. Excited to try them out again!

    Very exciting stuff @ZOS_JessicaFolsom , very much looking forward to the new Dungeons and of course the quality of life improvements. Something that caught my eye from the article regarding the new level up advisor

    "With the Level Up Advisor, every time one of your characters gains a level, you will receive gameplay tips and useful rewards. These rewards will include gold, crafting materials, and consumables, and certain key leveling milestones will even reward you with a new mount or a Crown Crate!"

    Will the key leveling milestone mount apply retroactively to players with all max level characters? If not can we still earn the mount by leveling up a new character? Will the possible crown crate rewarded for leveling up be restricted in quantity per account or will users be able to essentially farm these crown crates by deleting and re-leveling characters?

    So no increase in furnishing slots in this update - is this planned perhaps?

    This is requested at least as much, maybe even more, than home storage.

    Yes and yes! The Outfit station includes all the functionality of the previous Dye Stations. The Outfit Stations quite literally replace the Dye Stations, including where they appear in the world. We look forward to having you try them out on the PTS very soon. :)

    Will armor be bound when changing the style of a item?

    This will work for ugly helms and shoulders of the undaunted right? :wink:

    Will it need something extra to change the style? (Simular like transmute crystals.)

    "This update will allow you to acquire unique collectibles that you can use to store items in your homes, freeing up valuable inventory and bank space. You'll be able to acquire these new items in game or from the Crown Store."

    I'm a bit confused by this, does this mean we only get to store unique new items being added next patch? We won't be able to store any inventory items we want?

    Okay, another question. The Outfit System section says:
    With the Outfit System, you can change the appearance of your equipment to reflect any of your known crafting styles by visiting an Outfit Station. [...] You will have access to one unique outfit that you can customize using gold, but you will also be able to acquire Outfit Change Tokens and additional Outfit Slots from the Crown Store, allowing you to have a variety of outfits ready to go at a moment's notice.
    I don't understand this. Does this mean I only get to customize my appearance once without buying tokens from the Crown Store? Or can I re-customize my appearance multiple times without spending Crowns? What is an Outfit Slot? Is this the same as the costume slot we currently have? When I use an Outfit Station, am I changing the style of the actual gear I have equipped, and if so, can I change it again without buying tokens from the Crown Store? Or am I changing the appearance of a costume (the "one unique outfit" mentioned in the article)?

    Khajiit assumes this might work a little like a system she once encountered in her travels to Middle Earth. Basically you put bits together in slots and they become a costume - so you can wear that cosmetic armour sort of over your real one.

    Possibly.

    With the new level up rewards, will rewards be retroactively given to players? Or will players need to level up a new character (which for some will mean deleting a character) to gain the mount?

    I think it means that you get 1 outfit slot for free. You can alter that slot however many times you want. But if you want extra outfit slots you have to buy them with crowns.

    ^ This is exactly how I understand it. By the sounds of it, you are not changing the look of your actual gear. More like a custom costume.

    If I have my Mending/SPC on and go create an "outfit" and put it on... the game will still keep my in that outfit if I change out my mending for worm for example.

    I don't actually know. I just think that is how it sounds.

    The update looks great! Except for one thing... Lots of shinies for new players leveling up, but what about those of us that have been around forever and already leveled up our characters? Are we to be forgotten yet again?

    For me it's not that big a deal since I still have more alts to level, but I know at least one person that has 14 max level characters. Is she out of luck for the rewards or will they be rewarded retroactively? (Or perhaps more character slots to buy...)

    One other question: Is the unique outfit per-character or account-wide?

    My suspicion is that you get a single account-wide outfit... that you can set up on your character that knows all the motifs... but then of course your alts all look the same... is this indeed how it works?

    One last question:

    WHEN ARE WE GETTING WEAPON TRANSMOG/SKINS? I'm sick of these blood-red weapons. Can we at least dye them?! That was 60% of the excitement about transmog and now it seems that weapons once again are stuck looking the way they dropped!

    Weapons are included in the Outfit System, so you'll be able to not only change how your weapon looks, but also... dye it! Cool, right? :)
