Mule Deaths and Births - What will be yours?

MissBizz · May 2016

So tomorrow the great crafting bags come for subscribers. For many folks that will mean the death, or maybe liberation, of their mules. We also have characters slots incoming (up to a max of 4) for 1500 crowns each. What's going to happen to your character page?

Personally, Provgh (provisioning mule) and WeapRes (used for be for weapons for research, had been promoted to alchemy and enchanting mats) will die a quick and sudden death.

Belladyne-Hearthford on the other hand will be relieved of her mat carrying duties, and see levels beyond 5, and lands beyond Daggerfall.

What's your story?

AmberLaTerra · May 2016

Mine will be a mix as well, the early toons I made with weaker race/class combos that became mules will be dead to be replaced with situation specific chars like lower level pvp, or builds I want to try out, while the later mules will be liberated to be leveled up and grow.

Got three mules and a full guild back.

It will be refreshing to have some slots freed up.

Smileybones · May 2016

My story is I don't have any mule, just one character that is a master crafter with a maxed bank storage. I have a stack of every crafting mat in the game and even have a few bank spots free. Surprisingly not one tells about this.

Moonscythe · May 2016

*sniff* my mules will live on because DB isn't coming to the Xbox anytime soon. I probably won't make much of a change anyway. My gear crafter is already out trying to level a bit so she has points to put into crafting and a level high enough to keep her alive while she is doing it.

So @Smileybones .... pretty much you'd be the only one available to run the show "ESO Hoarders"? You'd probably have endless episodes teaching us how not to hoard

Curragraigue · May 2016

My Stampler mule will be rejoicing at having the weight removed off his back and being set out into the wilds of Daggerfall.

All subscribers!?? Or just the PC/Mac users when the content drops for them tomorrow, Miss Bizz?

Haha unfortunately I couldn't give any advice to give since I have like OCD and pick up or loot every shinie on sight.

But truth to be told, I got used to sell stuff to travelling merchants, decon everything, since crafted gear is a very good option from the start of the game to endgame, and list stuffs competitively on guild store so they go away quick.

i do not have mules, all my 8 characters play as a team - one at a time, but they are a team nevertheless. But they do not specialize in crafts, all will become jack-of-all-trades. There are more than enough skill points in the game, so there is no need to specialize them or abuse them as a "mule". I like each of them in their own right.

I will most likely add 2 character slots - I want to try out those classes which I did not choose yet - I said, I have no intention to do that, but with additional character slots, I will give it a try. Not said, that I will keep them, it is just a try for now. In the end I intend to max out all character slots - but as there is no discount on all of them, I will do them one by one and over time.

Vaoh · May 2016

I'm going to become an ESO+ member for a month. My 600+ inventory spaces of crafting materials (not kidding) will finally see proper storage. This includes my massive stash of Voidstone Ingots!
• My Four Crafting Pack Mules: Two are true Pack Mules with 180+ inventory space. Two are "real" characters who are temporary Pack Mules and have 110+ inventory space. Along with my bank, they will all part from their Crafting Mats.
• My Two Item Pack Mules: Two "real" character acting as more temporary Pack Mules. They will move their 300+ inventory spaces consisting of Unique items and sets, vMA sets, PvP sets, rare sets from IC, vMA weapons, monster sets, costumes, normal clothes, purple treasures, and more etc to my Two main Crafting Pack Mules.

I will no longer having a million issues with organization!

Abeille · May 2016

I'm a master crafter, I have 8 characters (and I will make another one tomorrow), none of them are mules. I don't have much trouble with my inventory, I'm just lazy. Like, one of my characters have about 60 free slots, but I still can't be bothered to clean my mail box of hirelings mails

So... The change to my character log in screen will be due to the extra character slots, not due to the crafting bags. I'll make a Nord ice mage. It is sad that there isn't a class for her, so I guess I'll have to settle for a third Sorcerer but with an Ice Staff.

@heyewe Sorry! Crafting bags will come on the 14th for all console players. Though you are welcome to tell us your story of what will happen then

Vyle_Byte · May 2016

Well my character page will remain mostly the same, except ofc the addition of more characters! (a big ty to ZOS for finally giving us that, so excited!) My "mules" are truly only mules bc they are in factions that I dont play, made them before I knew anything at all 2 years ago and I just cant part with them. Also one of them is my master crafter, maybe someday a faction change option will come around and they will see life again!

However I am super stoked that craft bags are a thing and its going to help me free up so much space it will be like a miracle!! I am a bit of a hoarder, I love keeping all sorts of armor and being a crafter that crafts literally everything space is a serious problem... so is organization, so this will be amazing! These are really the only changes that I am stoked for this patch but mannnn am I stoked for them!

milkbox · May 2016

Uther Doul will spend the rest of his days at level 3, in a snazzy stolen outfit, in the bank at Davon's Watch. Littlesting will empty her bags into my (now 8/240) bank and... go live on a farm upstate where she can run and play and get lots of fresh air! Everyone else will carry on as usual, because they know how to do things.

PhatGrimReaper · May 2016

BWB Characters incoming!!!!!

ColoursYouHave · May 2016

I deleted my last mule two months ago to make a Magicka sorc (I now have two of each class, one magicka and one stamina for each). Been using my Stam Sorc as a temporary mule and sitting with a maxed out bank waiting for the Crafting Bags.

Rumba1 · May 2016

When I realized, a couple months ago,that all my characters would be able to wear top level armor when Vet levels were removed, I raised the last two bank alts to vet status. Now I'll be able to use almost all of that level 15-16 armor I have collected in Wrothgar.

I had previously trained up their horses to 60/60/60. Also I have slowly (1 trait at a time, after all it's free) had them research all crafts, about one month from now all will be 8 trait wood crafters (two are already 9 trait).

Tomorrow when I load DB I will have 8, fully capable and armored, level 50 characters, no more bank alts.

TheShadowScout · May 2016

I tried having some mules once... ended up playing them anyways, V2 and V5 currently...

I expect I will find my need for mules largely reduced, due to less gear "for an alt once they reack that veteran rank" needing storage... (right now there's a few characters parked for this - I tend to shoft gear around on occasion...)

ssewallb14_ESO · May 2016

I leveled mine to V16 long ago.

Volkodav · May 2016

I havent any mules,but I do have a full bank.It will really feel good to have free space for a few things like items for one quest in Hewe's Bane that is repeatable.

SolarCat02 · May 2016

My main will have so much more free space in her inventory! Currently she has a small collection of alchemy ingredients and raw crafting materials for refining.

My sorceress will probably continue to hold on to set pieces, at least until I am finished with my researching, and I am confident in the new lock-from-decobstruction feature. She holds a lot of monster helms and such.

My magicka Templar will be freed from the burden of carrying crafting materials, and may someday see some playtime with my husband as she was intended. Hopefully we can leverage them to veteran ranks in a reasonable amount of time. This character was made specifically to run with one of his.

Nothing will change for the other two, really.

disintegr8 · May 2016

My three mules will probably still live in the Bank of Daggerfall, destined never to meet each other. All were created before I know about optimal setups, so if I did anything going forward I would probably have to replace them if I wanted to level any more characters.

thisisScoMan · May 2016

Ever since they announced the crafting bags were coming, my mules have started the daily levelling up of their mounts (max carry capacity obviously, previously speed & stamina only done when I felt like it as I never saw a point, they weren't going anywhere)

And so my mules, upon their mighty steeds, shall soon set out and explore the lands beyond the bank walls.

I could probably do that, but since I have OCD on researching traits, half of my bank is random pieces of gear with traits.

Jimbullbee85 · May 2016

I'm looking forward to this bag coming to xbox 1. I run two guilds. One is the main and the bank is for everyone and the other is for the guild elders to store items that we share between us. In my own bank I only keep personal mats for writs, tempers, selected style mats, traitstones, trophy vault keys and all runes (because I do most of the enchanting in the guild (220+ members). Yet my bank is always full. Since the elders make stuff for each other we don't need to store everything ourselves. The bag is going to save ALOT of space for me and my buddies.

nine9six · May 2016

There will be Argonian and Khajiit mule blood. That's all the details I will give for now

DaveMoeDee · May 2016

All my "mulez" will remain alive. They all do other things. One is a v1 sorc, though I haven't used him in ages. I level him so that he could also improve gear while serving as a storage unit. Post crafting bags, I might use him for some content.

My provisioning mule (named "Provisioning Mulez") is only level 7, but like all my mules her horse training is complete. She is also my primary provisioner and is my only character who knows psijic ambrosia and certain purple recipes.

I already deleted my previous alchemy and enchanting mules a while back. The alchemy mule had 1 50 alchemy, but was redundant as she was my second magicka sorc. My enchanting mule was also a magicka sorc and had a 42 enchanting. But the slots were more valuable than the skill leveling. Their replacements are already up to around 90 horseriding upgrades.

When I came back for ESOTU, I decided that I wanted a magicka and stamina version for each class with upgraded horses so I decided I wanted all my mules to be builds I would one day use. Since my hoarding has made a few of my characters unplayable due to full inventories, offloading items to crafting bags will be awesome.

Rosavyn · May 2016

My pair of Argonian mules, Swims-With-Tide and Whispers-With-Flame, may finally see the light of day outside of Daggerfall bank and let loose on Tamriel. Or they'll meet swift deaths and be replaced by other characters, we shall see.
Either way it shall be a fun day indeed.

Ayantir · May 2016

My mules were v1. I have 600 CP. Guess

Troneon · May 2016

I will wait until crafting bags can be bought with crowns or until they increase the caps on bags/bank space subscribing is pointless.

Z$S already get enough money from us, should not have to and refuse to pay extra just for crafting bag space....which should of been in the game years ago.

Almost as bad as a 4000 crown mount....
