Will you be buying Skyshards for new Arcanist characters?

Daiyanae

I'm curious if that's a thing.

I think it is so so hard (boring) to collect all of them.

LunaFlora

no i never buy skill lines or skyshards.
i've collected all of them before so i can do it again

Braffin

Nope, I only ever bought cosmetics out of the crown store and see no reason to change that.

Grizzbeorn

Nah. I've purchased a zone or two for one character or another, on a couple of occasions, if there was something I wanted to accomplish with their skills at a particular moment but didn't have the skill points, but it's not something I do for a new character.

I need to unlock wayshirines for that new character, as well, so I might as well combine the two objectives.
I *might* buy a few Mount upgrade books for Speed and/or Capacity, or unlock the Legerdemain skill-line, though.

TaSheen

Nope. I love running new characters around, digging antiquities, grabbing wayshrines and skyshards.

ArchangelIsraphel

Heck no. Not only do I love doing new character setup including skyshard hunting, but it'll be a cold day in a very warm place before I pay for what I can get for free with minimal effort on my part.

Ragnarok0130

No I'll get skyshards the normal way, no need to encourage predatory crown store behavior.

FantasticFreddie

I'll grab undaunted and a couple of zones, and do the rest manually

Tandor

I never buy skyshards or anything else achievable in the game, other than houses which I get with crowns from my subscription as I'm not a trader and don't have the gold they would otherwise cost.

Mansquito

If you figuratively want to get your pants pulled down by extortionate prices then go for it, but out of self respect I'd never pay for skyshards. If the cost was a tenth of the current amount then perhaps, but as it stands no. The game does all it can to make it as hard as possible/expensive to start new classes or characters, swap servers etc and I don't want to reward that kind of approach from the developers.

valenwood_vegan

I would never spend even more money to skip playing a game I've already paid for and subbed to.

Though, I get that some would prefer to get their new arcanists into endgame right away, and I'm glad ZoS provides an option for them... but it's also a rip-off. Even if I didn't enjoy exploring the map and skyshard hunting, I wouldn't want to reward ZoS' monetization tactics so I'd still bite the bullet and go hunting.

Soarora

No. I do public dungeon bosses, dungeons, and some overland skyshards as needed.

Kendaric

No, I only use the crown store for cosmetic items like hairstyles/beards/tattoos, houses/furniture and mounts (and character slots of course, can never have too many alts ).

Why on earth would I even want to buy skyshards? With a few exceptions, they are easy to get and you get plenty of skill points anyway.

Tharonil

I have to admit that i buy the same shards with every character i create. The cyrodiil and the coldhabour ones, because I try to avoid the pvp map and coldhabour is a bit depressing over time.

In the greener lands I like to collect them and love to enjoy the view again :-)

freespirit

No, I would never buy such items from the Crown Store!

Actually looking forward to a total game playthrough from the start...... the original start.... slightly dreading all the shouting npc's in cities though.

OtarTheMad

Nah, I gotta level it anyway so I’ll just collect them old fashioned way

majulook

No, they can be gotten fairly easily.

Elsonso

No. Easy to get and I only invest in what I need, so I need fewer of them.

AzuraFan

No. Skyshards are easy to find, especially now that they're on the map when they're nearby.

TybaltKaine

Nope. I'm retired, so I can take a day and run skyshards whenever I need to. Takes about two 8 hour sessions if I'm not sprinting around and also doing side quests. If I'm just running skyshards, I can get it done in a day.

PrincessOfThieves

No.It's pretty easy to get enough skill points.

I_killed_Vivec

I suspect ZoS's bulging coffers will say "Pants on fire"

Danikat

Nope, I like questing and exploring on characters and I'm never in a rush to get them fully levelled up so I've got no reason to pay to skip playing them. I'll just collect them as I'm going along like I always do.

Luke_Flamesword

Nope, I spent crowns only on things that are not earnable in other way. Also skyshards are not so bad to collect, especially when you collect them during leveling to level 50. I have 14 characters and this was never a problem, so I can live with it when leveling 15th one

Jaimeh

No, I usually like to keep my crowns for cosmetics and stuff you can't earn in-game. I've leveled a lot of alts and although it can be a tedious process, it's not that bad. I did get some riding speed lessons though with game gold via crown gifting for the mount training, because that will take the longest.

endgamesmug

Im in no hurry to play arcanist so ill just park it up for mount training and do the speedy shard hunt at a later date

BlueRaven

No, I never spend money on that stuff. I actually enjoy the leveling process.

It also gives me an excuse to go back and revisit some places.

boi_anachronism_

Skyshards dont bother me. The only one i ever would spend crowns on is the mages guild skill line. Its absolutely awful to do. Otherwise no.

FantasticFreddie

I'm just impatient to get my toon into trials etc, and I don't have as much time to play the game as I would like, so buying the slowest and most tedious skill line and a few skill points to get me started is a good use of my crowns/money and allows me to spend more time on things I'd rather do with the toon.

Jestir

Absolutely No

And the only one I would ever buy is FG. Mages is super simple; Fighters is a total PITA for me.

Though I really do dislike having to deal with Sheo in the MG quests. Sheo is my least favorite NPC of any of the gazillions of them since Arena.
