200CP? Sounds like you're missing out on a lot of what this game has to offer. If you were on EU I'd invite you to our guild, we're a weird bunch but we get stuff done. Dungeons, trials and PvP is what you need for CP's, grinding makes you fall asleep!

As Roechacca pointed out he is sitting on a fat sack of mats because beta pre launch player too.

How does "beta pre launch" help with gold tempers?
All beta accounts were deleted the night before launch day.

We had one huge farewell party in Cyrodiil right up until the beta server was shut down.

He doesn't know anything about the beta, he's always rambling nonsense. I have a ton of mats because the first thing I did when the game released was level up crafting. Our entire guild pitched in. Pre launch access just gave a few days jump start on everyone else.

Umm I was in the beta for PC and Ps4 . I know a lot about the beta testing and reporting thank you very much . Just because I was running around falling through terrain having fun doesn't mean I don't know anything .

Then I'll rephrase it. You didn't learn anything from beta. Everything from beta was wiped. You also rolled a Khajiit Magblade. This is solid evidence you didn't learn anything. If you would of rolled Stam then Khajiit would make sense and grinding wouldn't be such a pain.

Now that you're off on your own I suggest you stop watching YouTube and start listening to more experienced players. There is a ton of content that pays more then grinding. Slow your role and listen up more.

Dude just play your DC for life game and leave me alone ingame . I'm tired of the negativity . I get enough at work . Thanks for the "advice" . This is why I left , way too seriously with you .

It's really worth it to level a crafter- especially with One Tamriel coming.

You can wander in any zone, harvest and kill everything you see, and refine and deconstruct everything for tempers and materials while gaining xp and gold for your critter killing spree.

Take advantage of everything in the game- guilds, group dungeons, pvp, world bosses, crafting, stealing, traders- and you won't even have to think about mats and gold. You'll be swimming in them- and by doing different things all the time.

I think it only becomes a grind when you choose to focus on one thing- only farming, only grinding, only pvp- that will make your experience lopsided and you won't have much to show for it.

tl:dr- DO ALL THE THINGS!

I try personally to do everything but I find myself oddly overwhelmed with all I want to do. Max all skill lines, get all skyshards and lore books (I have addons to show me where they are), try to get to a better CP level (currently 133) so people don't exclude me from stuff. (If you're looking for a DPS for a gold, just give me a chance to show you what I can do)

I finished the main storylines for DB, TG, MG, FG. I haven't really done much in Orsinium (just enough to get Stuga to leave me alone)

I finished everything on the Alik'r desert map (turned all the icons white), attempted nMA (big mistake)

Sorry to hear that, and it sucks even more to see when it happens to someone so upbeat. To be honest, I've been playing for a loooong time now and I'm still in purple gear - only my weapons are gold. Don't try and push yourself too hard. Purple gear is totally fine.
I'm also constantly broke. My armor sets are generally made up of cheap bad trait gear from guild stores and PVP rewards for the worthy. Had 400k last month, which was new for me. I was just farming and PVPing in IC for stones, then buying and selling mats (ingots, leather, hakeijos). Unfortunately it's all gone now thanks to alloy prices.. The good thing about grinding IC was, I earned a lot of CP at the same time because of the exp bonus you get for grinding PVP zones. Before they introduced the catch up mechanic I was at 40 CP, and now I'm at around 600.
And hey, if you're frustrated and need a break, try some fishing =D Sometimes I'm lucky enough to fillet 4 roe a day. That's nearly 40k right there.
Good luck to you, and I hope you find your groove again.

Thank you my friend , I know I am a little OCD and get caught up on being best too fast . I have learned a few new things from constructive posts here and will be focusing more on new things to get out of grinding rut . I am actually re energized by these new ideas and look forward to testing them out !

I discovered recently that the blade of woe can make you a lot of gold very quickly. I had been under the impression that to get rich from crime in eso you had to be a skilled pickpocket, but there's absolutely no need when you can just assassinate them first, then rob them lol. I'm still new to it but I estimate an income of about 2k gold for 15 mins work, probably more with experience and passives.

Edit: be prepared for other players to stand and stare in what seems like horror as you quietly wipe out the population of Kvatch.

Ok so this is not normally being me but I am so down .

I've been grinding for a month now and finally hitting cp200 and the purple gear . Still don't have the exact set I want and still needing gold gears . I've met some good grinding buddies a long the way and we becam friends . It's just such a long road and the gold sinks are heavy . Seeing a little coin in my pocket from hard work and then wooosh ! All gone on a couple mats in seconds .




The adventures are what usually inspired me to keep going but I know I'm running low on that soon . Don't think of me as the Debbie Downer cause usually happy just today so tired . 300 plus more cp to go and a probably more then another 500k gold grind . I'm in a rut guys . Need skooma or some sage like advice . Inspirational energy depleted and slow to logging in .

I just started doing writs and I get gold mats ALOT. Try it out, doesn't matter what level your crafting is. What mega server are you on? Perhaps I can lend you a hand with mats.

I've always set smaller goals for myself as part of a bigger picture. For me, it's not about doing every single thing on a map (I still have world bosses and quests unfinished all the way back to my home alliance)- but I think chasing some achievements can help as a guideline.

I got through all of the Cadwell's zones doing mostly just the silver and gold quests. Once that was done, I went back and did all the dolmens. Then I decided I wanted the "Explorer" title and did all of the delves. When legerdemain dropped, I spent weeks on a stealing spree and maxed that out. I spent a few months in pvp to unlock all the skills and passives, then focused on doing dungeons to unlock all the undaunted line. I set a personal goal of having 1 million gold- and when I reached that, set my sights on 2 (and so on).

Now that I've done so much content, I'm focusing on smaller things. Lately, I've been trying to find and donate to the Orsinium patron folks. I start at one end of the map and farm until I find them, then give them my $69. I've got a crazy amount of mats doing this (only 4 more donations to go)!

On a side note- it always makes me a little sad to hear people say they have a hard time finding groups with lower CP. I belong to a few guilds that regularly run content with mixed groups, and are always happy to help and teach. If anyone on PC/NA would like invites, please do send me a message.

awwwwww man, now I'm feeling down...no, no wait a minute - after a little self analysis I now realize that's just the residual gloom from the yanks losing 3 STRAIGHT to the sox...ugh, the horror, the horror..

on a less serious note - you are pretty flipping awesome @Rohamad_Ali...forget your cp, keep up your posts ...you're easily one of my fave posters (along with @UltimaJoe777 - whom I always imagine as Joe Friday: just the facts ma'am, just the facts)...

I think the castle anvil murdering sneak thief had the right of it...you're a little low on coin - go get it the old fashion way...I like to pay the hapless citizens of abah's landing a little visit with my woeful blade - yeah, they may not be bloodthirsty pirates, but, I'm sure they've sinned somehow in their short pixellated lives...

so what up with all these insanely good memes and gifs...do you have a whole catalogue of that stuff - or, do you just get an inspiration and then go find it?

I will take that as a compliment as I do tend to be pretty deductive and tell it like it is

You are so cool and thank you . As far as the gifs and memes go I have to give most of the credit to the big meanie cat roechacca because he gave his old iPad to Us when when he bought his new one and all the bookmarks are from his digging and saving . He is kind irl but loses his mind in video games so bad . Never met someone so completely obsessed with faction and winning all the times . He's like a big crazy gingerbread Charlie Sheen .

GROUP HUG!!!

That's down to personal choice, it has no bearing on whether the guy "knows" the innards of the game or not. Not to mention grinding being a pain is just a fact of the game, no matter what class you are.

I've played over a year, I know the game pretty well by now. I know Khajiit are built for Stamina roles, yet I have a Khajiit Magplar.

don't upgrade stuff to gold, the cost/gain is just NOT worth, especially if you are still messing around with build/gear.

and the only real difference between V15-16 gear is the enchant value. so again unless your dead set purple V15 gear is nearly as effective as gold V16 gear and a fraction of the cost.
