I always wait for sales .

I can only speak for myself. The story is - in my eyes - probably the best I have encountered so far out of every other expansion. But this does not mean that other expansions did not had very good quality as well. Still, it is exceptionally good,, perhaps because I like the entire setting. The dungeons are large and the main city is well designed. Vendors are placed very well. In particular I like the north western and south eastern part of the coastline of Summerset a lot.

I guess that you will not like much the Psijic quest, because it is mostly just closing portals all over Tamriel. And you said for yourself that you are not much convinced. So you really have to decide for yourself what you want in the game.

It is worth it to me. I really like the new island, although i was very skeptical at first. But it is beautiful. I like the quests and story. To bad it's short.

No matter how many defenders want to measure pixels and say this is the biggest zone ever - it's not. It feels pretty small when you play it, but still - the rough size of most other zones. Which is ok.

You get less for your money with this 'expansion' vs Morrowind. Zone = Zone (roughly, though SS feels like there is less to do). New Class > New skill line. Full trial > Mini-trial. Battlegrounds = Jewelry Crafting (though for very different players). So could be worth waiting to get a deal on this DLC.

Also, Jewelry crafting is a serious grind. You cannot break down older jewelry, so if you've saved anything from pre-patch, that won't be use-able and you should be careful navigating guild stores to buy some to break down. (All jewelry, even white, have higher prices now and some players are listing old jewelry for the same prices that you cannot decon either by accident or to take advantage.) As for missing anything with JC - you aren't really yet. If you start months behind, you'll still be able to catch up quickly enough (you just will be most behind on those last couple traits that take months) but you won't be able to craft much anyhow. I have a friend that went at JC hard core day one, got to 50, spent all crowns on research scrolls to learn stuff quickly, etc. He is making ok money making stuff for people to research, but it's so impossibly expensive to get upgrade mats that he's had to turn down people that have asked him to craft set jewelry b/c they didn't realize how expensive it would be. Also, the master writs would done very poorly and for example a purple swift jewelry gives you a 10 voucher reward, but a swift trait stone costs 20 vouchers to buy. So you can tell they like copy pasted some other master writ code and didn't actually look at it. So to summarize, you are not missing anything with jewelry crafting as it stands. Best way to get jewelry is still to get drops or gold vendor and if you get into it a few months down the road, you will be able to catch up quickly enough and there will be more stuff on market, so prices should be more reasonable.

The psijiic line is nice and probably the most worthwhile thing about the expansion as far as useful goes. The zone itself is gorgeous.

If you are into the game, get it, it's fun enough to have more to do; but if you are on the fence, you won't be hurting much by waiting for a sale.

One aspect to consider is how many characters you play. if you're a single character type then value for money for you will be very different than for someone who intends to run multiple characters through the content. For one character, I can understand it being a bit of a valid assessment of value, for multiple characters it's a no-brainer. Then again, however, if you truly enjoy the game do you want to be denied access to all of it?

Best zone since Wrothgar. Beautiful, well written quests and side quests. Morrowind was a complete bore by comparison.

If you have AP you can quickly level Jewelry crafting although research and tempers will take a long while. But if you plan on doing it eventually you are just making it take longer for yourself.

Psiijic line is good for many builds.

So you can wait if you want, but for ESO this is as good as it gets.
