Various tips and tricks this game doesn't teach you about that is useful

If you have multiple crafting surveys at the same spot. Take the items, then proceed to teleport to a home you down own in your own collections, exit out of it when you arrive to be put back where you were just at with the survey re hitting off. This works if you have multiple treasure maps at the same spot.
If you are wanting to get out of a public dungeon or a delve quicker there is a series of things you can do this. One is to teleport to a guild mate or a friend or even a group member if they are not in the delve. But mind you only people you know where they are at will you be certain. But you can also know specifically where you are teleporting to by teleporting first to a home you don't own from your own collections. Now exit out to be kicked out of public dungeon or delve. Now you are on the outside of the entrance side you first took to get into the said delve.

Also random fact... did you know you can also highlight targets to better help you track them... even through walls to some degree. Holding the duck button for like 2 or 3 seconds hard locks them, helping you to better track them. This can also be used on guards as well so you can see them through walls to better keep an eye on them Now note you can only highlight one individual... not groups.
Also are you trying to pick someone's pocket and they are aware of you but no one else is nearby but you are behind them? (not sure if this is a glitch or a way around another glitch, pretty sure a way around a glitch) try going to your menu while being behind them for like 3 or 4 seconds. Now switch out of menu. Tada now you can actually pick their pockets again.

Another dangerous thing to note is proxi detonation looks a lot like someone placed magical detonation or inevitable detonation on someone... you can't tell the difference so always be wary and space yourself from someone that has a purple haze ball on their chest just to be sure. Proxi detonation might be powerful, but inevitable detonation is stronger, has quite a fair range, and what is worse is your own healer can kill you with it by accident... if anyone cleanses it it instantly blows and inevitable detonations can kill zergs.

Also another random fact about eso... you can have objects in the environment that can obscure your nametag above your character, making it harder for others to see you if you are in cyrodiil and need to go afk for a quick moment. Make sure to note what colors the terrain is and make use of it with natural camouflage with dyes. You would be surprised at how many zergs I have hid from that were chasing me. Use common colors save for the coldharbour black dye from finishing the main quest. I've also was with another zerg and was hiding in plain sight between some rock formations and kept resurrecting my own teammates while they couldn't see me. Also beware of bulk and position of your armor/weapons while ducking and hiding. You don't need to be a nightblade to be able to stealth or even a nightblade to gank others.

Say you are getting full on items, it is not something of touchy things but of something you do want back. If you have a friend that no longer plays the game you can utilize mail limbo and mail stuff to them without a cod, if they don't take items within 30 days, it gets sent back to you. Once you retrieve items you get reimbursed if you did not put a fee on it. This same trick is how some that have been giving away daedric throne skulls away constantly. Mail limbo is a thing.

Anyone have any other tips that I might have forgotten or don't know about that they wish to share can do so.

    One very useful tips is to include 1 gold when you are sending items in the mail to someone, as it makes the mail arrive immediately as opposed to waiting for the mail to refresh or the person to change zones. This is particularly helpful if you asked a guildmate to craft you some gear and they are already at the crafting station.

    Problem with putting a 1 gold fee is if they don't want it you don't get reimbursed for fee.

    instead of porting to a home/zone to re-spawn surveys.. you can walk a short distance from said area, when you return it'll have re-spawned.. saves you those nasty loading screens ;)

    That can be kinda wonky for me. I've found it easier to do this way though.

    What? I'm not saying COD it but give them 1 gold. Who cares about 1 gold?

    I was not meaning give them gold. I know about the request one gold trick already. I was talking about using it for mail limbo so you don't spend extra money. If you do it in bulks you start to realize this. Also noteworthy if you are doing mail limbo and literally going through 10k in gold... it can get kinda stacking and knowing that you are doing this much can be something. 10 gold per mail you know.

    And he was giving another tip/trick to ESO, like you ask in your last sentence.

    You can keep quest disguises by not finishing the quest and putting it in you bank. This is useful if you want to hide vampirism as the disguises use a seperate character model.

    If you /sitchair, hiding your helmet removes the chair, allowing you to visually sit in any surface.

    Using lena's wand of finding on a player character via quickslot will make your character track them with their head. Great for immersive rp.

    Using an add-on or other means you can go into 1st person mode on a mount. This removes the curvey turns and gives you better control of your mount.

    Disabling the UI while in the crownstore let's you move around as pets and mounts and gives you a free look camera.

    You can use the pts to design a home before you use real crowns or money to buy items.

    Join a trade guild and you'll almost always have someone to port to without cost.

    When you steal from someone and exhaust their items, assassinating them will grant you another item.

    Use harvestmap and you can save skill points that would be used for the keen eye passive.

    The kollopi essence costume makes you practically invisible in dark corners and water.

    If you're having trouble seeing enemies or distinguishing them from allies, you can turn on floating colored healthbars in Settings>nameplates.

    Or you can just stick them in your bank, or don't equip them. Most cases, if a disguise will be lost as part of the quest, you don't need to equip it in the first place.

    Can I get a tip/trick on how to use a Frost staff, but look like I am using dual wield, or even a 2H? =/

    Step 1: Equip a 2h
    Step 2: Vendor/Decon/Destroy the frost Staff
    Step 3: Realize you have a better weapon equipped

    Honestly, unless it's for PvP, you do not want to use the frost staff. If it IS for PvP, then there's a fairly obvious reason why you wouldn't be permitted to use destruction staff skills while appearing to wield a stamina weapon.

    Exhausting them of items does not give another item when you kill them. I have yet to see that.
    Also kollopi essence is very funny to use, use it with the overhanging rock formations in the good ol' town in clockwork city allows you some interesting opportunities to not be seen by other fellow players... yeah I started a mudball war without ever being hit once with a mudball and had to stop angry people that I was trying to cheer up... that was my bad.

    Also random fact even if you have their name bar above their heads... doesn't mean there is not a way they can't hide from you.
