    When eso first launched on console, alot of people wanted to become vamps or werewolves.
    So as i was doing my quests in riften, i saw alot of people in front of me, it was like half of the player base lol.
    One guy was talking to his friend about red bull and another guy was making fapping noises.

    So i decided to stay, 1 hour later and some guy says the vampires only spawn on a new moon.
    I then realized that this was a vamp spawn and i was so happy, i waited 2 hours, got so tired and i went to bed.

    Myth: vampires only spawn when a new moon happens and werewolves only spawn when a full moon happens.

    People still swear by that. Even when you have them spawn on the 'wrong' night, right in front of them. They still try and defend that old wives tale.

    I've been working on the general executioner achievement these last few days and have come across some really interesting/funny myths. I think it'd be fun to compile a list of ESO myths (especially while we wait for natch potes).

    Myth 1: If you wait for all the pinions to glow, you have a higher change of getting a general to spawn.

    Myth 2: If you get a lich add, you are more likely to get a lich armor piece. (Truth: lich chest and helm drop from the Lich of Mourhold general and gloves, shoulder and staff drop from the sisters).

    Myth 3: To increase your chances of getting gold tempers, you want to zone to a different area every so often.

    What myths have yall heard?

    The myth about zoning before refining mats is actually partially true. There was an old bug where passive skills were lost on death unless you relogged or reinstanced, so in order to get them back you'd rezone before traveling.



    what :smiley: ??? WTH :smiley: ?? I hope that is fixed now already...

    you have a better chance of a rare fish if there is a group of people at a fishing hole...

    in those circumstances all i get is sacks and bait fish.


    wait, I also thought that this is true, I never tried it, but was it not that also ZOS said it somewhere?

    back when console launched it was

    you cant complete dragonstar without master weapons, and you can only get master weapons by being emp

    now its; you cant complete vMA without mael weapons,

    LOL! I've heard this myth so many times on PS4. Omg. :disappointed:

    I heard a myth that if you refine a stack of materials (e.g. Ancestor Silk) 5-6x, and then stop — you somehow trick the system into giving you more gold improvements (e.g. Dreugh Wax).

    You have a higher chance to find Kutas and imperial motif on the first island of your alliance

    After an incap strike all your attacks are going to be critical for 6 sec

    You have a higher chance of receiving a Monster helmet if no one in your group dies. 1 death lowers the chance to 5% for the whole group ( one of the best i have ever heard :lol: )

    Using a potion or jumping will fix your gap-closer

    Myth: vampires only spawn when a new moon happens and werewolves only spawn when a full moon happens.

    It said this on UESP even, so it came from a usually pretty reliable source, I didn't know that at all, so when do vamps and WW spawn? just at random or what?

    It's tied to the lunar phase. I can't remember the exact number of days but they do only spawn the days around those lunar cycles.

    You have a higher chance of getting vMA weapon with a good trait if you /kowtow in front of the chest before looting it.

    Although I don't believe it, I always do that "just in case" :lol:

    Myth: You can only get Perfect Roe from ocean fish.

    As one of the few in all my guilds with the Master Fisher Achievement you would not believe how many times I am asked it that is true and have to explain they can come from any type of fish you can filet.

    They alternate, with a cooldown period in-between.
    Used to be vampires - nothing for 3 days(real-life days) - werewolves - nothing for 3 days - vampires etc.

    Lately however i think ZOS lowered the cooldown period because i've been finding either vamps or WW pretty much everytime i looked.

    There are 2 sets of players that say this.

    - duelers
    - people who think PVP means standing in a group of 50 with no awareness of their surroundings who get insta killed mostly due to their own stupidity and then run to the boards to complain about balance when really, L2P

    If you actually want to be good at large battles use something that works 100% of the time, not a trait that is best used by balled up potatos.

    M'aiq the Liar is a real person from Zenimax. He is also a khajiit, that's why the game has the race.
    When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
    What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

    I used to get the dolmon one a heap. I have a full golded Litch set, and have farmed a few for some friends... out of the hundreds of dolmons we did, there was no evidence doing anything changed the spawn rate. Yet people still don't believe me haha.

    The vampire/werewolf spawn rumors were also constantly showed wrong, yet I'd see people talking about new youtube guides explaining the wrong info anyway. (I got werewolf at random times myself)

    I've been told to refine materials 10 at a time, leave table, come back and repeat. Both times I tried this I got way more alloys than normal, but 2 times is nowhere near enough of a sample size to mean anything.

    It used to be tied to the lunar phase.
    This rumor actually used to be true, but the way vampires/werewolves spawned was changed due to the campers who would kill the wild spawns to charge 10k for a bite. Now anyone who wants to do that has to waste a lot more time because it's now random.
    Why be normal when you can be better?
