Mage guild on console

Tatdad

For the love of god HELP with mages guild on consoles devs ! Please! I literally can’t take this anymore.

The Skyshard QOL change you made is perfect. Why can’t we have the same thing for lorebooks? It doesn’t make sense to me why something so simple is not put into the game yet.

The grind is unbearable.

As someone who's done it like 15 times and now on a new server, I can bring myself to do it again.

It's so bad.

I assume most people on PC just take things like that for granted, and forget how poor quality of life the differences are.

The books aren't the only way to build it up, while it provides the bulk of it you can also do Mage Guild daily quests for public dungeons as they give 10 points each and you can do up to 15 a day.

What do PC players have to do with this? If anyone is to blame for not implementing basic QoL features, it is the developers. Constantly nourishing platform conflicts does not get us anywhere.

I play on PC without any add-ons. I don't really grind anything, though.

I don't recall how long it took me to get my Mages Guild skill line to max level, but I don't remember it being too difficult, since I basically just explored each zone thoroughly as I was playing through them, and seemed to find the lorebooks rather easily.

There were a few lorebooks that I had to look up in the ESO App or the UESPwiki to see where they were, but by then I think I'd already maxed out the Mages Guild skill line.

I completed it once, and I’ll never do it again. I used an app that included an interactive map of the lore book locations on my iPad. Ever since the mages guild skill line is one that I always buy in the crown store.

Tatdad

At the very least they should highlight my map when I’ve already found one

Ever take a break and come back to the game with like only level 5 unlocked ? Goooooood luck with that. I spent 2 hours yesterday trying to figure out where I left off and gave up. Going out to spots to find Nothing there. The whole process is so frustrating.

I would just enjoy Eyeveya on your main character. I did obtain many of the books to complete the MG line through exploration without add-ons however, you can also get more EXP by running their dailies I hear.

Tatdad

Can’t you only do multiple dailies if you find a group of 15 different people ?

I have yet to ever find one of these on console doing them.

It's more about the add-ons that people use to overcome the basic qol deficits that the game has. How many PC players actually play the game the way it ships out of the box, so to speak? Probably not a lot. Players and devs get so accustomed to their altered version of the game, that they forget just how lacking some of the things can be. That's why there's not a lot of changes to help us console folks. They toss us half a bone maybe once every few years that's a shell of what an add-on already does.

I'd love to have a minimap, or the mage book helper, or the treasure chest helper, or survey helpers, for example. Instead, I have to pull up my phone and try to find it that way. Then I have to squint at my tv across the room really hard, because, FOR WHATEVER REASON, the map zoom is an utter joke on PS5, to mark it.

I just don't understand why they don't hire out the add-on maker to just implement their program into the base game code. If that person doesn't know how to do it, hire someone who does.

Sorry, that turned into kind of a tangent.

There's an app that's really helpfull for those on console: ESO Helper.
Made by our fellow @Dalnorea . It's for Android OS.

And put the treasure and survey writ locations on the map while you're at it. Top QOL updates we need.

I'd like it if the treasure maps and survey sites appear on your map, but only after the first time you find them.

Yeah so. Remember the patch they did awhile back for console to improve visuals? Well when they changed the game to 4k they forgot to scale the map down with the new high Res

Lots of us spoke up about it when it happened but it’s still been that way literally every since that patch. Lmao.

Doing the dailies takes a long time, that is what I do, one at a time since I don’t like to group. I’m on my fifth alt and only do pvp toons now so I am not fully exploring zones.

Only the Undaunted daily is worse if you have to do delve dailies one per day until you hit level 9. So painfully slow.

I actually just finished my latest run an hour ago. It was boring but fine. I have no complaints.

I don't need the game dumbed down with the hud showing me where this stuff is. Didn't need it my first run at mages guild. Certainly didn't need it my 10th.

So you followed a guide on your phone instead. What's the difference? Apart from the phone method taking a lot longer.

You're right. They should just add it, I was being stupid.

The books are faster. Doesn't mean its more enjoyable. I end up using a game map to find them
