    Unless, of course, you are on console - it probably will not be ready until 2nd or 3rd week of June.

    And you arent bothered by the content in DB, as it can wait until you are ready to do it.

    DO NOT make any valuable gear, due to the trait changes. DO make sure you have enough mats ready for your sudden ascent to CP160 armor and weapons. Preferably, make sure you can craft your own, as most of the well known crafters will be snowed under with orders for gear for multiple chars.

    CP160 gear will typically require 130 of the main mat for the armor. When prepping your mats, allow for everything - trait stones (based on PTS guide), refining mats, style mats. Make sure you know which styles or sets you want, and where the crafting stations are. If you have unlocked them, it might be better to use the silver or gold versions of those stations in the other alliance zones, they won't be as busy. Unless, of course you want one of the new sets with a 9 trait requirement, and only one station on the map.

    Its Kvatch and Anvil, and the surrounding area of the Gold coast that is visible from Malabal Tor. You still won't be able to swim across though I suspect (can anyone confirm this?), though it would be nice for them to have removed the slaughterfish from the very narrow stretch of water there. One of the Ships you go to in Malabal Tor is literally 50 yards off shore from Anvil.

    That's right. Maybe I should pick up some Ancestor Silk at a guild trader before this happens.

    And there ya go.My point exactly.
    Although,Hew's Bane doesnt feel THAT small to me. Small when compared to Wrothgar,but not quite a toilet stall. lol.

    I have three characters who are going to jump from V8 or V9 to V16. I'm afraid my limited stock of top materials and runes is going to put all of them in V15 Purple, maybe even Blue, armor for a while.

    Are you talking crafting VR15 equivalent or V16... since it takes at least 130 mats for EACH PIECE of armor currently for V16.

    This is why I try to make use of costumes and just reuse the armor from my main V16... may have to craft a Light armor set if I ever manage to level a

    Really? I think it definitely feels larger.

    However it is still small, comparitively.

    So, I reckon the Q4 DLC will be a larger landmass. Maybe rhyming with Taardensmell? ;)

    I have only gotten a V5 going so far. lol.I just have so much for making alts and doing all the side stuff that it never occurred to me that it would be a very good thing to get to the top for points for my other alts. I never thought about it.

    Yeah, sorry, should have been clearer. 130 per piece.

    The important thing is just getting CP high enough that the free extra points from DB take you to 501 since those are the most expensive CP.

    How many CP's are we getting? I have not read through stuff. I know we are getting bonus points, is that all?

    This is pretty much my plan right now. Im on PS4 and currently at 135 CP. I was able to put 23 Points onto my account by running one of my VR characters through a single Zone in just two days. Doing the same zone with my second VR character I expect to get similar results. I should be close enough to 160 CP that upon release on Console I should be bumped up to 160 if I have not already surpassed it.

    Between the zone run and DB release I plan to bump my two armor crafters skills up so they can begin gathering materials in Hews Bane and Wrothgar. Ive got three characters just about to bump level 50, that Ive put off until DB release, that I want to make sure are covered materials wise. So its going to be a few weeks of endless farming.

    I finished the leveling to vet16 finally. I kind of rushed it but didn't want to miss out on anything and at least I can say I got vet16 when it existed. I was worried I was going to miss out on the vet costumes mainly since I love collecting them all, I didn't know if they were going to remove them or what. Also I heard we get some extra champion points.

    Not all of us are interested in getting to cap. Personally, I would like the XP curve to go on for a bit longer yet. Got 215 CP, and not bothered about them. I only open-world quest, explore and have fun anyway. Not a dungeon runner or trials person, and PvP bores me. I don't want any of the BiS gear, quite happy to exist with adventuring quality gear. Might aim to make a gold set of my own at some point though.

    In fact, I may park my main up shortly and switch her out whilst she gets more traits for crafting (only log her each day for traits training).

    I feel like making a khajiit magicka templar who only wears and uses what he finds, and just have fun with him.
