What's the deal with buying gear...

Tannakaobi · August 2014

Little goody bags in PVP that may or may not be any use... What's the point? I just wanted a level 30 healing staff with no fuss.... Ridiculous, frankly!

Anyway, what's with the guild stores now, I was under the impression that we would have access to other guilds. How can I do this and where?

Check your map. The icon for guild traders looks almost like the merchant icon. It's just a little different. Guild traders are bunched up in certain areas, and alone in others. You can also try siege merchants in cyrodil, but be wary of the two man guilds who don't have guild stores, but like to claim keeps for some reason.

If you are in Cyrodiil, then you need to find a keep that has been claimed by a guild and talk to the quartermaster. He should show "guild store" which should also let you view the store for the guild that currently owns the keep.

In the regular world, there should be icons in the city that represent the guild traders.

Buying vendor gear was your mistake - make/purchase crafted gear.

OK, cheers guys!

Still though, I love that you can now basically PVP 10-50, but to make it viable better gear buying options must be implemented. Soon I will have out leveled my gear, then I will need to PVE to get better stuff.

Like I said, I just wanted a quickie for testing skills.

Buying vendor gear is really never a good idea. It's way too expensive for what you get - you're better off crafting your gear, using dropped gear, or buying crafted/dropped gear from other players.

The new guild trader icons show where you can buy stuff from various guild stores. They're a way better place to buy gear than vendors.
