=== On behalf of a player known as @HipsterGandalf42 on PC EU ===

Hey there. After a bit of grinding, i think i almost completed 100% of the whole game with this patch. This includes quests, achievements, stuff to collect, trials, etc. Here is a summary:

Me and my brother started playing shortly after the game's release. I played to a bit above lvl 50 and stopped. Didn't like the game at all. A few years later i came back at the end of April 2017. I dropped an aetheric cipher on the first day of returning and was like "Ok, i got this. Let's slay this game as well". After 2 years of playing, here we are.

=> What do i own? <=
  1. All houses. This does not include the crown houses. Once they are giftable via crown trading, i will buy them all ofc.
  2. All crafting motifs. Obviously.
  3. All recipes. Obviously.
  4. All furnishing plans. Yes, all. According to Furniture Catalogue by @manavortex. Last one did cost me 6m to obtain... RIP
  5. All skills with each respective morph leveled to max on my mainchar. While doing a gazillion of masterwrits, i figured to just slot all yet to level skills when handing in the quests.
  6. All collectibles that were obtainable after i started playing the game again in April 2017. This includes:
    • All the collectibles from all events, like the runeboxes, the recent outfit pages, all indriks, all indrik pets, etc.
    • All costumes
    • All outfits from the outfit system (except just a few, read more at the end)
    • All the pets
    • ... etc.
  7. All crafting stations for all sets.
  8. All training dummies outside of the crownstore.
  9. All lorebooks (missing only 14 that are completely bugged for me. Yes i TRIED for hours to get them -.-)
  10. All dyes. Obviously.
  11. All mundus stones in my house.
  12. After i got bored and crown trading became a thing i decided to buy all the contents of all crown crate seasons as well. So far i have completed 4 crown crate seasons and am waiting for the old seasons to return so i can just complete them as well.
  13. And of course all achievements. As can bee seen here. https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/386482/achievement-points-leaderboard-28k-club-dragon-bones
  14. All quests.
  15. I have a mag and stam dd of every class ready, as well as a tank and two copies of my main char. Each of these has (1 yet to complete):
    • Lvl 50
    • All wayshrines in the game
    • All mage guilds books, mage guild 10
    • Most of the skyshards
    • All public dungeons
    • All group dungeons
    • Undaunted 10, Fighters guild 10
    • Crafting skills maxed
    • etc
  16. And much more i forgot to list...
=> So what am i still missing? <=
  • I am still missing the 50 points from the honor guard motif. That thing will drop starting next wednesday and after that i will have 100% motifs and 100% achievements.
  • I am missing 5 bg outfit pages. They are painful to farm. I have been spamming 5-10 bgs each day for months now. But i will get them until the end of Elsweyr patch.
  • Obviously the crown houses. PLEASE let them be tradeable / giftable via crown trading. I need them.
  • Radiant Apex Mounts. These are my only exception to "collecting all the contents of all crown crate seasons". While i got a few unintentionally, i dont plan on getting all of them.

=> How? <=

Just grind a bit.

=> Why? <=

Why not?

=> How much playtime do i have? <=
I just crossed 200 days on my main.

=> Whats next? <=

Getting the next char (mag necro dd) to 100% everything.

=> Closing words <=

I like this game. A solid 5/7. Would recommend. Oh yeah btw, i never had or will have eso+.

=> Thanks! <=

This would not have been possible without the help of "a few" people.

    Favorite Foods and Potions
    https://media.giphy.com/media/3otPoTggaYFNd1FdAI/giphy.gif
    • Parse Food for PvE:(DPS) Ghastly Eye Bowl (increases Max Magicka by 4592 and Magicka Recovery by 459 for 2 hours).
    • Gold/Purple Food for Sorc PvP and Meme Tanking:(PvP) Clockwork Citrus Filet (increases Max Health by 3326, Health Recovery by 406 [useful if stage 1 vampire], Max Magicka by 3080, and Magicka Recovery by 338 for 2 hours). Witchmother's Potent Brew (Increase Max Magicka by 2856, Max Health by 3094, and Magicka Recovery by 315 for 2 hours.
    • Trash Potions when feeling cheap: Regular CP150 Essence of Magicka pots that I obtain frequently from playing the game or Crown Tri-Restoration Potion obtained from dailies.
    • Crafted Potions: Essence of Spell Critical (Bugloss, Lady's Smock, and Water Hyacinth). Without magelight this is my primary means of obtaining Major Prophecy on my Sorc, which increases my Spell Critical Rating. This also heals and restores magicka. Essence of Immovability (Columbine, Corn Flower, and Wormwood). I use this in PvP, since this gives me stealth detection, knockback immunity, and restores magicka (better to use it when competent allies are nearby, since it might reveal that you are surrounded by multiple players in stealth and you will not have an emergency pot available after use). Essence of Invisibility with only 2 ingredients (Blue Entoloma, Namira's Rot, Nirnroot, or Spider Egg). I use this in PvE content that requires stealth and if I need more speed I'll use Rapid Maneuver before using the potion. Essence of Invisibility with 3 ingredients (Blessed Thistle, Blue Entoloma, and Namira's Rot). Very useful in PvP alongside the vampire Dark Stalker passive, since you'll be invisible, ignore movement speed penalty while in Crouch, and you'll have a 30% movement speed boost from Major Expedition (I always have this slotted when riding from point A to B in PvP land, since gankers are always lurking). My templar will mostly use Essence of Health (Tri-Stat Potion) Ingredients: (Mountain Flower, Columbine, and Bugloss).

    I'm always puzzled how these high-achieving players don't seem to have the time to post their results themselves, it's reported on behalf of someone else. Moreover, it's always reported as a personal achievement, but accompanied by a list of the other players without whom it couldn't have been done. I assume that they're genuine single player accounts and not e.g. guild-controlled accounts that multiple players contribute to.

    I'm not doubting these achievements or criticising them, it's just that I find the manner in which they're usually reported as rather bizarre given the personal nature of the achievements being reported. I'm often left wondering who has done what exactly, whereas when someone posts e.g. their Master Angler status across an account and answers questions on how they went about it then it seems to come across a touch more personal.

    In this particular case, I'm even more puzzled by the reporting of a 99% completion rate rather than waiting for the 100% success to be achieved!

    But someone posted about a week or so ago, with a picture, Everything in the game was completed.

    As far as I know HipsterGandalf paid gold for either Gryphon Heart or Tick Tock carry (can't remember which one it was).
    So I don't know how to feel about this "99% perfect account". I don't mind when people pay for carries, all you win is a skin/title, but to come to the forums to make such a post knowing he got carried is on another level... I'd simply remain silent to not make this situation awkward.

    I can assure you that Hipstergandalf did not pay for any of his achievements. I saw both runs for his Tick-Tock and Gryphon Heart with his Group "I need a Lemon", as well as Immortal Redeemer.
