Mule Deaths and Births - What will be yours?

freespirit · May 2016

I will soon have 4 max lvl characters, one of each class(been dragging my heels with my NB but she will be max very soon).........

The other 4 were mules BUT then I discovered non vet PVP so........

The relief of crafting bags today will be massive for me!!

Still having problems with culling my characters at lvl 50(pvp wise) so I imagine four new character slots will happen as soon as they are available

I have one who did armor, clothes, and weapons and I kept the mats for those in the bank. She will become my universal crafter. Any of my toons that don't know it yet will learn alchemy for the medicinal use passive (much easier post craft bag) but there is no need to teach the others all those motifs.

I currently have an alchemist and a provisioner who will quickly become unnecessary as a large part of their job was to store the mats for the respective crafts. Their fates are...undecided. One is a super tiny Bosmer NB I have actually enjoyed playing/leveling so she might stay. My DK provisioner, however...not sure I will keep him. He mostly exists so I can better understand the DK class, not because I had a lot of fun playing it.

My enchantress will live on for a while if only because it takes so bloody long (or a huge amount of gold) to level enchanting. But eventually that too will move to my master (mistress?) crafter. The enchantress was my 2nd ESO character so I could probably make a better one now. Though that means playing through LVL 3-50 content again.

I guess I'll sleep on it and decide tomorrow.

Khajiit will be adding a little Argonian to her team of apprentices. No one will die. Even those apprentices who Khajiit does not have time to train presently have their useful part to play when this one makes short films.

There will be a new Argonian to come back to my char log:
Definitely making a Redguard

Possibly making a Khajiit

I wanted a Nord but I am not sure what the 4th char will be now... IF I do decide on a Nord I can have a perma tank char / class which might be nice

Former chars & mules that were killed:

RIP Likkewaan April 2014 - February 2016.
RIP Thor Odinson April 2014 - February 2016
The rest don't matter:
Relethyl Dunmer Sorc April 2014- February 2016
The other Dunmer DK (EP) was killed I used his name on my templar and made a new Dunmer DK on DC so in a way he lives on (just better looking than before, the old dunmer DK had scorch marks over half his body)

New one will be called something else because I recoined that name on my mule acc ( which I obviously don't need anymore :w)

I am considering buying char slots on my alt account just to create more chars ( I love doing it )

I dont have mules since mine are normal characters with 2(1 is on EP and 1 is on DC) of them being max crafters with all the styles.
I am working on my 3rd crafter for AD.

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....

I dont think ZoS will make the crafting bags able to be bought from Crown Shop, I believe it will stay as ESO Plus exclusive.

Deheart · May 2016

LOL, I have already turned all my banking mules into Crafting Writ Drones

I was already subbed, because it costs the same to buy 1500 crowns as it does to sub for 30 days and also get 1500 crowns per month.

^This. Although Away-From-Keyboard will enjoy being V16-equivalent. Khayrat just hit level 35 last night so he needs to be leveled a little further to wear the shiny V16 gear I'm hoarding for him.

lardvader · May 2016

My mules died during the cake week. I only had 2 but they got deleted and I made 2 new good templates regarding race and class. So during cake week I started leveling 7 alts to max out provisioning and get them to aprox. lvl. 10.

I kept them in this state for some time just delivering food and feeding the horses for a couple of weeks. As soon as I realized DB were going to be release in the end of May and removal of vet rank I started the big grind.

In 2 weeks I've leveled 7 alts from lvl. 10-16 to v1-v3. The last one was ready Saturday morning.

I'm really looking forward to the bag! My main got 200 inventory slots, but 160 is occupied at all time with gear and other valubles. My bank with 240 slots have been full for months and lowest mat I keep is v1-v3.

Hopefully there won't be much gear in my bank either today because I got 7 charachters to dress up in CP160 gear. Not all is BiS but I simply can't afford the best of the best for everyone atm.

I also got aprox. 30 throves from various dailies to unbox and I might buy some new slots to create a new stamblade, another mag templar (not healer) and one for each of the other factions (to grind for alliance motifs etc.).

To bad I have to work a lot this week, but I know Friday will taste better than usual. Maybe the vendor in Cyrodiil will be selling the Scourge Harvester helmet next weekend so I can finish my sap tank.

Iselin · May 2016

How dare you call my support staff characters mules... the nerve!

They will be well compensated for their time with me and will be the first characters called back when they're needed. I wish them all the best in their future endeavors.

redspecter23 · May 2016

I'll still have way to many items, mostly clothing items, to give up on all my mules though I should be able to get it down to one from the three I currently use. One of the first things I'll be doing is consolidating all my collected bound gear and trim that down a bit. My monster helm/shoulder mule will have about 50 new shoulders to sift through from my accumulated keys so that may take some time.

Mostly, the craft bags will end up freeing slots on all my toons that are usually taken up with mats that I transfer to mules eventually. Not having to hold those for any period of time will be a lifesaver.

ShirleyShine · May 2016

The best thing about the crafting bags is knowing exactly how much of everything I have at a glance!
My Main, AD- VR16 Breton NB is master of all crafts, 9 traits in wood, 3 armour styles, and the weapons I use.
2nd, AD - VR16 Breton Sorc, master of all skills, no traits, and kept wood + ore to Crags lvl writs.
3 more AD Bretons, over VR5 characters skills only to bring in mats from hirelings at an even spread of mats
across all levels
1 VR1 AD Kahjiit - same as regards skills
1 lowbie AD Altmer DK - intending to learn about skill line skills at a lvl to have lowbie hirelings
1 lowbie AD Altmer Templar - ditto
All have maxed inventories, all went through the tedious horse feeding for 3 months to max space/speed/stam
The VR16 Sorc does all the scut work, after the log through to collect mails, he TCB and does his writs.
All of the Alts hold a certain amount of inventory over flow, with the Cat holding the VR16 mat overflow.
I keep at least one stack of all lvl mats because once a week I spend some time fishing on the starter island to see how the newbies are doing, and choose one to "mother hen" through to VR1. Provide set gear, start up cash, and 'craft buddy' to help them become self sufficient.
Only provisioning, alchemy, refining mats, VR16 mats, Crags ore and wood have loads of stacks.
Special items of dropped sets, jewelry, weapons etc I may use take a lot of space, but I keep nothing that a crafted set could give better stats.
I can't wait for the craft bag!
Oh the Bliss of not having to Alt hop looking for what I need at any given moment!

@Duiwel shhhh. Actually, I'm pretty much full in PC. My poor ps4 characters won't even get the bump to cp16o on the 14th. I also found it too hard. Maybe one day though.

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?

Suckers.

8 characters for me.

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!

You will have to at least sub every so often, or you can't put anything more INTO the craft bag(you can only put things into it if you're a sub)

starlizard70ub17_ESO · May 2016

I haven't used a mule for over a year now, and I have 7 vet16 chrs, (ok they're now 7 lvl50/501cp chrs now). I never held on to lower level mats before, but with crafting bags I'll hoard everything. Never know what could become useful in future dlcs. My 1 and only mule, Kesh, got leveled up to a v16 MagNB about 3 months ago.

CasNation · May 2016

My main has become my sole crafter pretty much, so most of my mules are headed to the chopping block once my bank is free to fill with all of the trials and dungeon gear they are carrying.

magnusthorek · May 2016

Wow, wow, wow, wait... Is this patch coming today DB DLC (and the mega base patch) already?

If so, how much it's costing? I was so unprepared...

@magnusthorek YES! Well, if you are on PC. It's 2000 crowns for the DLC

This guy got saved by the Character Slot Increase

Ugly%20Mule_zpsfhxmypra.jpg

I will now use him to store Crafted Armors that I have been making for my Alts and storing across other mules. This character is my only true mule, and I made him as ugly as possible so I could delete him. But, he has grown on me.

Goodbye to Orc mules Little Green Piggy Bank and Silk Purse. However, Nora Lenderbee will thrive as a traveling merchant. Accursed Mountebank will be able to follow the plans his sinister mustache and devilish good looks imply.

mtwiggz · May 2016

All of my mules were executed weeks ago. I had the sneaky suspicion some of them were stealing. These crafting bags couldn't have came at a better time.

Khenarthi · May 2016

While I play all my characters, juggling inventory between them was a chore. Now, not only will I be rid of the crafting materials clogging their inventories, I'll get to play 4 new ones. It's a bit sad thought that I'm more excited about this than about the Brotherhood proper
