Returning Player HELP!

strawbree94
Good Morning All! I have just returned to ESO last night after a long break. When I was here it was all about Cyrodill Imp City but I have missed so much since then I don't even know where to begin haha my main is Level 50 Stam Templar and I was wondering on the communities opinion as to where to start first as I am baffled to where I should begin without ESO plus for now!! Any advise or tips would be appreciated.

    Mate that's a blank canvas, too much I can say too little time!!

    First off some context would be ace, what do you enjoy doing as that's key. Stam Temlar seem popular in PvP at present so that's a start!!

    No ESO+ but do you have any DLC? Orsinium perhaps?

    OneTamriel has meant all zones are scaled now so useable, if you haven't done so I suggest this to new PvE players
    Do Main quest (prophet)
    Do alliance quest line
    Fighters Guild (as stamina)
    If after XP clear zones of dolmens, skyshards, delves, public dungeon group events. These give great XP first complete, no need to grind as its dull!!

    The above means you see new zones, get XP, get skill points aplenty.

    If interested in crafting you will probably need the crafting bag. But either way research all the triats you can, and decon everything. This advances the craft lines so you ready.

    What platform / region are you? If ur Xbox EU I can help craft etc

    What CP are you?

    ESO+ really depends what you're planning on doing and if you feel you need the bonuses it offers. It might be worth playing for a couple of weeks to see if you're happy with the game before subscribing.

    Depending on your interest in PvE or PvP various guilds for character builds are available, AlcastHQ and Deltia's Gaming are popular choices for people looking for character builds.

    MissBizz does good coverage of new game features as well as beginner guides if you wanted to refresh yourself on the game.

    Otherwise let us know what kind of gameplay you're interested in more and we can help give you tips on how to get back into it.

    Thank you all for your replies you have been a great help!
    @Beardimus I'll figure out where to get this crafting bag as I have leveled most things to what was max at the time not profession wise but fighters guild and weapons etc Unfortunately I'm on ps4 eu but would have been great I am going to be in dire need of a crafters assistance in getting my new weapons and armour
    I've cleared most zones and hunted everything possible but have come across this prophet storyline and will start there for now! Also discovered a plethora of quests at ebonhold for some reason so will get going with that for now need to ease myself back in!

    Ok fella sounds like you had done loads first time round! Prophet quests used to be staggered, every so many levels but now you can do pretty much back to back, and you can fast travel to the harborage you don't have to ride there.

    Main quest line is prophet and the battle against molag bal. The Alliance quest line is the Pact story, and gives 2-3 skillpponts per zone.

    I got confused between them all when I started one minute um battling Molag Ball the next repelling the Daggerfall Conveant and then suddenly I'm saving guars or picking flowers for someone lol. Those things are all side quests and not really needed unless ur a completer finisher.

    Guilds may really help you. Look in the PS4 guild section of this forum and I'm sure someone will be recruting. The right ones really help with gear / pointers in the right direction

    Good luck!
