Hello, my name is Andrei, or Andrew, I am from Romania and I just turned 17 yesterday :hushed:
I bought this game like a week ago I think and I LOVE it, it is the most awesome MMORPG I've played so far and I also played the other MMORPG.. I think I am not allowed to write the name so I will let you guess, but this one is far better than that one in my opinion.

I've meet alot of friendly people around the map who helped me with items, a mount and other advices.

I make this topic because I want some advices of how should I get started, level up or other important things, I am lvl 10, Orc, building tank as someone suggested me that.



Also I accidently joined a campaign just to see how it is, I thought I can leave anytime but it ask 100k gold to leave.. any way to leave without paying? Or how much do I need to wait before I can leave because I can barely hit someone as they have better items and skills..

    Hello and welcome to the forums! :smiley:

    In regards to leaving a campaign, you can wait until the campaign duration expires to leave for free IIRC. You can also 'Guest' in one additional campaign besides your Home campaign if that helps you in the mean time.

    Hey - welcome and happy birthday! As was stated, you can wait until the campaign ends, or guest a second campaign to join (though you won't get leaderboard status as a guest). I'd suggest if you want to PvP at lvl 10, do it in the non-vet campaign. Also, you can just leave your home campaign set even if you don't feel like doing PvP - there isn't any negative except you will get messages about major "happenings" that occur (such as scrolls being taken). It isn't like you being signed up has any influence except when you actually enter Cyrodiil. Have fun!

    What is the difference between Main and Guest? As Guest I can't get attacked?

    The difference between "home" and "guest" is that on your "home" campaign you qualify for the "leaderboard" - which is the overall ranking of players, and gives rewards. On your "guest" all the fighting is the same, but you don't qualify for any of the "leaderboard" related stuff - including the "end of campaign" rewards (but you still get the "rewards for the worthy" which are based on the points you get). But if you don't have the AP to switch I wouldn't sweat it. If your home isn't non-vet, set your guest to non-vet and play there until your home campaign finishes, and then set your home to non-vet. If your home is non-vet, just play there.

    Hmm, when he says leave, I think he means leave Cyrodiil altogether.

    Hey MrUncle! Welcome to ESO, and Happy Birthday also.

    If you want to leave Cyrodiil, there's a wayshrine next to the starting building where you can teleport to any wayshrine around tamriel that you have already visited. Don't get it confused with transit shrines - these are used to port you around Cyrodiil, and can't be used to exit Cyrodiil.

    A few quick notes to try and help you get on your way levelling:

    - Start researching gear straight away. This will allow you to craft your own armor once you have enough traits. I won't go into detail because it would require pages of information, but there are plenty of guides on youtube and around the forums.

    - Visit a stablemaster every day and upgrade your horse. You can do this once every 24 hours. There are three upgrades; Speed, capacity and stamina. Speed will make your horse run faster, capacity will increase your inventory size (on your actual character), and stamina will strengthen your horse, allowing it to take more damage before you're kicked off and give it the ability to sprint longer distances.

    - When levelling, ensure you have, at the very least, one of each skill from your class lines on your active bar. When you earn exp (ie: by killing mobs, completing quests, finding new areas), it will give experience to the skills on your active combat bar, and will also level their respective skill lines. So even if you don't want to use a particular skill, it's still good to have it on there to increase the skill line it's from.

    - If you know any crafters (friends, guild mates), ask if they can make you some "training" gear. Training is a trait on armor and weapons that increases your incoming experience from everything. This will help you level much faster. The more training gear you have on, the faster you will level

    - Join a friendly guild. There's plenty out there! Sometimes chatting in a guild breaks the monotony of grinding or doing quest after quest. They can also be very helpful and provide useful items, crafting services, werewolf/vampire bites, location ports, and especially valuable information.

    I hope this helps. I'm sure other people will have some more stuff to add, but this is a pretty basic checklist that should get you started.

    Welcome!

    Lots of good advice here.

    Also (depending on which server you are on) keep an eye/ear out for chat, you can meet interesting people and get good suggestions that way.

    If you have already played another MMO (pretty much ANY other MMO) than you have most likely learned to keep moving while in combat and not stand in stupid (i.e. red). Took me probably at least a year to have that as a thing in my brain.

    Now I'm finally training up a tank (my previous were all DPS) and it's really HARD to get the "slight movements back and forth". I'm so used to circling around the mob/danger - but if I do that with a tank, I'm just turning the boss around to face the party.

    No one appreciates a tank who does that :*
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis
