I've had this game since launch and I have caught loads of fish including quite a few collectable ones and only just discovered last night that you have to manually fillet them . I could have sold a fish containing perfect roe .Can anybody think of any of the common things that could be easily overlooked ? Or easy blunders to make ? Maybe one's you made when first starting out , this could give myself and others a little heads up on things to be aware of.

    If it is any consolation, filleting fish was a recent change (June 2015).

    I'll start off the list with
    • Fillet your "white" fish, sell the non-white fish
    • Don't attack guards (they can't be killed), run or pay (and lose all your stolen loot).
    • Turn on protect innocents (optional)
    • Read the patch notes on the official forums or follow one of the many podcasters, bloggers, and/or streamers to who review the patch notes and comment on the patch notes. Alternately, there are guilds that have websites that forums and such that highlight the changes and discuss them.

    Filleting fish has only been an option since 2.0.11, which updated June. You have not been missing out on roe since launch, so no worries. Remember to read those patch notes!

    Go back to the vendor that you sold those materials to and use the "Buy Back" tab to get all of your goodies back!

    It's worth noting that if you do run away, and are not able to get to a Thieves Guild location to remove your bounty, you can also wait out your notoriety. Watch the meter in the bottom, left-hand corner of the screen and eventually it will reset the meter and the bounty so that you are once again an upstanding citizen!

    god I've done things like that. And while in the same (sleep deprived) boat.

    As for just starting out ... and I guess this is only on PC ... ask for help or suggestions in chat. Keep half an eye on the chat window - you might see someone selling something that you want. Happened to me twice last night while doing a bunch of provisioning.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    You said fillet the white fish and sell the others but do you not have a better chance of getting something better from the rarer ones ? As I said I only found out about filleting last night so I haven't a clue ?

    i was in shock that i had found a daedric candle, so i stoled it and took it to the thieves vendor and clicked on the sell tab, thinking that like in morrowind it would be the same here in eso, that once i sold the item to the thieves guild vendor that then i would buy it back and then i owned that rare item. i was wrong, Not only did they allow me to sell it but its no longer even visible once sold!
    the item was destroyed and deleted forever. i later realized that i had to 1st click on the "launder item" tabb then launder it, and THEN buy it from the vendor. there is NO "buy item back" tabb

    i think thats uncomfortable and basicly not what it should be.

    Do you know the tip about getting a friend to send you a traited item at the lowest level to research , this would mean you don't have to bank items like that , freeing up valuable bank space ?

    I generally don't "steal" things but I will try and remember that one if I do visit the fences.

    On PS4 they ask when selling items blue or better if that's what you want to do cause it'll be gone forever. And once laundered you don't need to buy it back, its yours from that point on.

    Yeh, I have been doing that. All my stuff has been researched between 5 and 8 times though, so there's huge wait times on them. Hoarding is a must!

    Once you catch the rare fish, they are checked off on your achievements: no need to keep them. Sell them: They range in the range of 30 to 110g per fish.
