- 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).

✭✭✭✭Housing (requires lots of money and achievements for furnishings), skilled PvP, dungeon and trial hard modes into trifectas. You could consider other things personal endgames but as far as I can think those four are the only ones with endgame communities.
There is the solo endgame community too but as far as I have heard it's very small. By solo I mean solo arenas and soloing dungeon HMs/tris.Edited by Soarora on February 5, 2024 2:23AMPC/NA Dungeoneer (Tank/DPS/Heal), Trialist (DPS/Tank/Heal), and amateur Battlegrounder (DPS) with a passion for The Elder Scrolls lore- CP 2000+

kevkj✭✭✭✭Anyone who has invested a lot of time into the aspect of the game they enjoy AND are knowledgeable/skilled at it. For PVE it goes without saying anyone who goes for trifectas or scorepushes/speedruns. For PVP it's going to be very contentious who is actually 'good' at it. For housing/fashion it would be the people who have encyclopedic knowledge of the styles/furnishings in the game and are able to combine them to be a greater than a sum of their parts. There's some houses out there which are just so much more well crafted than most. Lots of houses/outfits which are just a mismash of credit card swiped items. Even for RP-ers, some have the gift of gab and improv while others do not. There's also the trading endgamers, not just people who make a couple of million a week but those who buy up entire stocks of items on a server whose sales volumes are in the hundreds of millions.

For me.... that's not only "NEVER" but hell no NOT ever. DID that in WoW and RIFT. Never doing it again. It wasn't "rewarding" in any way at all. And it contributed in a major way to me leaving both games.

I have no experience with any other MMOs besides ESO, but I pretty much agree with you, which is why I still haven't done any of that despite having been playing since shortly after TESO:Morrowind came out.

No problem, but I'm not saying I'll never do any of that, because I don't like ruling anything out. I like to think of myself as being in the "mid game" stage, where I'm no longer just starting out trying to level up enough to stay alive, but not yet in the process of trying to tie up all of the loose ends and call the game "done." In fact, ESO sort of changed the way I approach the other ES games, because I no longer try to focus on finishing all of the questlines as quickly as I can and am finding it more fun to just kick back and make the experience last longer.I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!1 -
Destai✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭I would consider endgame to be progression based activities like working towards vet trials. And I think there’s a distinction between that and any activity you can do at max level.
I also don’t really do endgame, for various reasons, and focus on more casual activities like questing, crafting, and trading.1 -

and what do you consider end game?
I consider end game to be where you mainly focus. You’re the master of what you do and all you’re trying to do is sharpen your knife per se… for the next kill. I craft, I do trials, I do normal random dungeons and I theory craft for the next best set ups.
I don’t know what else I could do to make ESO enjoyable, but I’m now a vampire Katjiit who steals and the blade of woes. Idk. I guess it’s what you make it.PS4/PS5 NA

This. Pretty much this and it encompasses anything in the game.
For the most part end game has been considered what requires being max level to participate. So for ESO that is vet trials and dungeons. Not everyone is interested in that so for them it is anything else including PvP, Cyrodiil, crafting, or dailies.

✭Eso has an neverending Endgame, cause if basically the whole game counts as "endgame" through scaling, then that's a lot of choice.1 -
spartaxoxo✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭The activities where gear, build, or investment are a significant part of your results.
So, vet trials, arenas, vet dungeon achievements and PvP using PvP builds are obvious examples.
But also there's a pretty big difference between most people first house and one where they have invested a ton of time into learning to decorate and accumulating furniture/plans. Or someone who is just listing whatever every now and then when their guild happens to have a trader, and a millionaire trader who completely understands their market and puts a ton of time into investing in it for huge payoffs.

LesserCircle✭✭✭✭✭Whatever you like is endgame but worst one might be pve trifectas for trials and such, the community has gotten so small that it's unrecognizable.1 -
Danikat✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭I still think 'end game' is a bad name for it. The end of the game is when you've run out of things to do and have to stop, if you've still got things to do then you haven't gotten to the end yet.
But in terms of things you can only do after getting to level 50/CP160 and getting a good build and gear together, which is the usual definition, I suppose the main things are all types of PvP (Crydoiil, Imperial City, Battlegrounds), veteran dungeons and trials. Of course that covers both just completing them and going for specific achievements/all achievements, specific items from them etc. There's some sort of leaderboard as well, but I don't know what the criteria is.
In terms of what I do and what players like me do I'd say I haven't reached the end yet. I mainly focus on questing and exploring zones and in that sense level and CP is largely irrelevant (I don't use CP unless I'm in a group where it will be expected). The game didn't change at all for me when I got my first character to level 50, I just carried on with what I was doing (and not just because I was in the middle of a delve, once I got out I carried on with quests in that zone) and when I got to CP160 the only difference was that I took the time to figure out exactly what equipment I wanted and once I got all the skill lines I wanted levelled up and the skills morphed (which took a bit longer) I could pick a build I liked instead of focusing on what needed levelling up.
If you enjoy questing or non-instanced PvE generally I'd say either the whole game is end game or there is no end, you might catch up to the latest release (especially now they're only doing 1 chapter and no zone DLC) but that just means you can take a break or do something else or play an alt until the next chapter comes out.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!
