I remember the first time my friend told me I should do this storyline. I loved it and loved the lore behind it and how it wrapped up the original harborage storyline and ended the daedric invasion of Tamriel. But since then I've been amazed at how many people don't even know IC has a story to it so I'm wondering how many people have completed it.

    IC is honestly one of the great storylines in the game. You're right not many people talk about it. Most likely because of the PvP element part of it, that's why not many people know that IC has it. I do PvP and PvE, so it's not really much of an issue for me. My problem before was the mobs were tough to defeat (at least when it was released), it was nice that they nerfed them, but I suppose ZoS is buffing them again next patch? Personally, I think people should do it regardless if you PvP or not. It's really a worth storyline.

    To all the people who haven't, PLEASE talk to the general lady thing at your IC base and do that quest line. It is so worth it. This is your best chance if you hate pvp as well since there will only be two IC campaigns with the new chapter. Story lines like this one make this game so good.

    It's a nice storyline and I did it on two characters, back when I was still quite low on CP. IC was quite busy back then and I couldn't do some of the quests on my own with my ~200 CP.
    I remember that I definitely needed help for the arena district and ended up doing that fight there with two blues and a red player, with all of us limiting our AoE attacks to not damage each other too much.

    Got ganked a few times too, but that just made it more thrilling and exciting, I like PVP (i prefer PVE group content tho and don't PVP often nowadays). I really loved the combination of PVE and PVP in IC and I hope the upcoming changes to IC help increase the population there again..

    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/arcanist will mostly use Essence of Health (Tri-Stat Potion) Ingredients: (Mountain Flower, Columbine, and Bugloss).
