Question about new gear for a returning player

wavesperfect

Hello everyone!

I recently came back to ESO, after watching a ton of livestreams on Twitch, but i feel like i have hit a wall, a lot of new stuff has been added to ESO, and my gear is lacking, i gathered some gear from a few dungeons, but i feel like i'm doing zero dps, i am also following a guide form alcasthq, so my skills etc should be fine, i have attatched a screenshot from my gear in-game, but i would LOVE some feedback on where, how, and when to get some new gear, i really like doing PVP, but i tried 1 battleground with my current gear, and boy was i a joke to everyone.

TL:DR - My gear is outdated, i would love to know where to get something new and better

Thank you for reading!

That was the link, not sure why it didn't come through the first post

idk

First of all, if your gear was fine before it is probably usable now unless we are talking the last time you played the level cap was v14.

Second, like so many major updates, we have some changes on the PTS that will change things.

Last, we need to know what you are playing and what your interests are. PvE, PvP, magicka, stam, and what class we are talking about. There is so much that can impact what would be suggested.

Edit; Screenshots posted indicate stamina. but there is still the rest. Also, I would not stress about gear until you hit CP160 as that is the gear level cap. You probably feel weaker because when you hit CP you lose the leveling boost given and are very much weaker.

For general ideas I suggest https://alcasthq.com as he provides both top gear sets information and gear that is easier to obtain. Alcast also provides CP for different levels. Please understand that it is only a reference and the site is not the bible.

My apologies!

I am highly interested in PVP, but i do mainly play PVE, but due to lacking gear, PVP is not an option right now it feels

I am playing a warden, stamina based, nord, male, CP 117 at the moment

Please look at my edit. It has a link to Alcast's site which can be helpful at your stage in the game.

Have a good day. Enjoy the game.

Join a guild as every guild I have been in have people who are happy to craft gear and merely ask for the required materials. I have never charged a guild member to craft for them though some have provide a tip of a few thousand gold.

Guilds are also helpful for other things like group activities. Most guild groups are better than the average GF group and will be more patient with a player learning the game/content and able to offer some help. Granted, some guilds will be better than others so keep your eye open.

That is very nice of you, not sure if this matters, it most likely does, but i am based in the EU, and it keeps saying "account could not be found" when trying to "tell" you

Hi,

When getting back into the game, I would tell you a few things:

-Find a good supportive guild; there is an in-game guild search function now

-For purposes of PvP, give battlegrounds a try; yes it's sorta limited, but it's also a good way to practice, to meet others interested in PvP and to try out builds. The BG groupfinder will try to group you with similarly experienced folks - yes there are glitches - but it's a fun way to play around.

-Sets - think sets. Early on you can easily "farm" the non-vet undaunteds; and there are a few lowbie sets which will work well for you.

Edited for spelling
