Truthfully, in light of recent revelations on the PTS in relation to crafting, I'm more worried about the materials requirements.

All the more reason to just play Blackwater Blade.

Found a couple more things. Morph Respec Potion and some other very interesting potions, such as Panacea Of Assassin.

That sounds like an interesting potion, the latter.

maybe theyll finally do something with ravagers pots.

For what it's worth, the VR 15 and 16 progression seems to be the same as previous levels. So, you've got your gear's level, add a Vet rank to the level for each color upgrade. The VR15 golds should be the same as VR16 purples. The VR 14 golds should match to 15 purples, and 16 blues. Which is managable... not great, but it does mean if you don't want to engage in the VR16 gear madness at all, you shouldn't be too debilitated.

Actually, I'm pretty sure I was able to verify that the 14 golds match to 15 purples, and I was able to verify that the 14 blues match 16 whites, for whatever that's worth. So the system seems to be working as before. Just, without the +1 VR adjustment for crafted status. But, we knew that was going away.

Oh, you guys are going to love this. I found portable crafting stations. Going to check against the Live server and see if these are old and from beta, or if they are new. Given the high item numbers, I'm betting they are new.

Sounds interesting. If they are indeed portable crafting stations, I wonder what real practical use they would have? I can only think of; perhaps making non-set crafting items to use whilst out on adventure for your newer-characters; starting a new research trait whilst out and about in the wilds*; or deconstructing materials**?

If they are a thing I really wonder what they might be for.

You're find some very interesting things now, Akavir, or at least conversation starters. Nicely done

* With Wayshrines, you're never really out in the 'wilds' per se, so it's only ever a minute to one.
** For me personally deconstructing items usually increases the materials in my pack, not decreases them, so this is something I certainly would want to be doing in-town where a banker is near.

Portable crafting stations? Really? What does Zenimax think about their customers?

I kind of like the idea of this. I wonder if other players will see the station or will be able to use it.

Nighn_9 · August 2015

I for one want that mercenary style. We deserved that last year when the undaunted enclaves came out. It was suppose to be the undaunted style, but I suppose their plans changed. I'm also looking forward to crafting yokudan

Makes sense if your inventory fills up and you don't feel like finding a crafting area or bank.

Gidorick · August 2015

Portable crafting stations it's a bad bad bad thing I think.

JD2013 · August 2015

Am I the only one curious as to what a ghost disguise may be like?

They should come up with a portable merchant aswell in that case, cause my inventory always increases by deconning stuff.

Same here. What a poor excuse for content.

Akavir_Sentinel · August 2015

I didn't show pics of every crafting station, but there is one for every type, including enchanting and a portable campfire for cooking.

SahrotRein · August 2015

All of these styles were already datamined weeks ago. Really liked the look of the Mercenary outfit.

Because heaven forfend you should actually have to find new things in an MMO?

At any rate, these are likely coming with Orsinuim. A new zone. Content.

Akavir_Sentinel · August 2015

Give me a bit and I'll add pics of the other portable stations and whatever else I find.

Kuroinu · August 2015

I noticed the Mercenary style material in your image says "Item Style: Healer". And of course has got me assuming that there may also be "Item Style: Tank" and "Item Style: Damage Dealer" but to me these two sound silly. Perhaps I'm thinking too bluntly, most likely "Item Style: Caster" and "Item Style: Melee" at least sound more fitting. But, who knows!

What would a Mercenary style look like anyway? Do they have any lore like Yokudan and Akaviri? I'm guessing it doesn't and is going to be a way for the armour designers to have more freedom.

Saturn · August 2015

The Hakeijo essence rune is "Prism" and is coming with the Update 7. Used to make prismatic enchants.

I know. I was just showing it for those who don't know what name rune it is.

Yeah, don't pay any attention to the style name added to them by the tool I use. It can be a bit wonky sometimes. Some items I have are listed as "Ranger" style, even though that style doesn't exist....yet.

Kuroinu · August 2015

You know that male voice you get when you're creating Glyphs? I demand a female voice for my character! I mean, who is saying these words when you are creating a glyph? Our characters? Or something bound to the runestones?

Sentinel · August 2015

If they're to do portable crafting, I'd rather it work more like previous TES games (like alchemy in oblivion) and have a partial trade off to its use. For example, you would carry multiple pieces in your inventory that take up precious space, but the tools are all necessary to be able to craft something out in the wild. I think at least 5 inventory slots being taken up by tools for portable crafting would be good. (And much better than saying "herp-de-derp, I can summon an anvil with ma hands")

An example of items and how it'd work:
Alchemy:
Base tool: mortar and pestle (Use opens a ui with slots in it, slots will be filled with the items below if in inventory)
Retort
calcinator
alembic
(possibly one more tool)

Once all slots are filled, the rest of the ui unlocks to allow crafting of items. Crafting items in the wild takes 2x as long as with a crafting station, so a small timer and sound effect will show/play during the "making" process.

I'm all for portable crafting as long as they provide realistic means of doing so in this RPG. I don't think it very in line with lore for every other adventurer to just pop a crafting station out of their pockets saying "Magic".

Well this is what you get with a game that relies on in-game purchases to survive. Anything of any value will get chopped up into as many monetized pieces as possible so it can then be sold piecemeal in the stupid shop instead of just a book that you find in-game (like when the game launched).

I wouldn't even have much of a problem with the system of chapters if it was not monetized because at least then it would contribute to the in-game economy in a positive way by making the motif knowledge rare and giving people who focus on crafting something to work towards and offer for sale but having the "buy it now" option of the shop subverts the in-game economy so as is typical with cash shops..it sucks.

I got every page from guild stores i got every motif but dwemar from store as something to work towards

I farmed or traded people for all the dwemer chapters as well. What's your point?

You said it defeats the point of finding them cleary not as we both didnt buy them. if you dont like the fact you can buy the books then i see you really qq when vampire and wolf bites come out for hallows

my problem isnt the chapters, its the fact that it will be in the store a month later. so why even bother?

And their point is that it's not only in the stores, so you can obtain it via other methods if you like.

If your primary motivation for obtaining such items is to be able to say "Look at ME! I'm SPECIAL!", then yes, you needn't bother because anyone will be able to get them. In fact, you needn't bother playing any successful MMO, because even with the RNG, the volume of users needed to support a MMO means that statistically, your character is not unique in any significant way.

But if you're motivated by the experience of discovery, then you have multiple methods to get that experience. That is a good thing.

There are portable stations of every type, I'll add the pics of the others in a little bit.

Akavir_Sentinel · August 2015

Updated the OP with a pic of some other types of portable crafting stations. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find one for blacksmithing yet.

Knaxia · August 2015

The only thing that hurts my eyes in that are the "backpack bind on pickup" , I really hope they ditch that idea.

It's Kieth Szarabajka. Don't mess with him, or he'll send horrible things after you... turn you into a werewolf, or give you a quest up in Dawnstar. Either way.
