Mine: Don't do Fort Sphinxmoth when you're delirious with the flu. Focusing enough to avoid the eleventy trillion bear traps and pressure plates when you're about to fall out of your chair isn't a fun experience :D

    Don't jokingly tell a pug that it's your first time in Moonhunter Keep while wearing vet moonhunter keep dye on Silver Dawn motifs. They won't recognize that and will vote kick you out instantly 😆.

    You can jump your daily rewards Guar mount way high and reach places you couldn't normally. Also jumping down from heights via rocks etc. = stupid fun

    If your new to the game, turn off the grass, this makes it easier to spot items. This will also give you a fps increase not a lot but, helpful.

    If on PC change you ultimate key from R to 7 this way you will not hit the ultimate key by mistake.

    While in banks or other enclosed spaces where guards are present, be careful when pushing buttons. Accidentally casting Crystal Frag, for example, will lead to an unhappy result.

    One of my raid leaders said there was an achievement for jumping/falling off the bridge in Sanctum Ophidia...

    ...quite a few of the group went before we realised he was lying... :D

    What is cp jump points?
    My understanding - for the % based CP lines, they only take effect at a whole number. So putting in points to get 15.8% over 15.1% actually gives you nothing. Don't put points in except to get up to the next whole number - like from 15.1% to 16.0%.

    @tactx
    Fractions don't count, so any points that don't push you above the next full number are wasted.

    For example, if a stat sits at 15.3% and you add a point to increase it to 15.9% that point is wasted because the game will use 15% in both cases.

    Same is unfortunately true if the point gets you to a even percentage, for example if you go from 14.8% to 15.0% it will still only be 14% ...

    It was this past week's patch.

    Fixed a performance-related issue that was triggered when a friend, group member, or guildmate would log in, log out, or change zones. This fix will result in slightly higher FPS, particularly if you are a member of a larger guild.
    Note: If you were searching for your own name inside the guild screen for the performance benefit, you no longer need to do this.

    When you collect all the roses in the Archons Grove daily in Summerset, it's mandatory to jump off the cliff edge and into the forest below. You will die and port back to the entrance, where you can casually exit the delve, saving you a precious 90 seconds of sprinting and avoiding enemies.

    Yes, this is an issue especially in delves and public dungeons there others has killed the mob.

    In PvP don't go AfK next to an town quest giver.
    if you come back and see an raid sized group of enemies around you, don't attack them.
    Its nice people who has an ROE of not hitting pve players doing pve. Happened to me in an guild run.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    -Get into a social guild early on so people can help you when you need it.
    -Don't be afraid to ask for tips.
    -Start researching armor traits asap. Start with training.
    -Pick up those nodes!!
    -Do not gold out armor and weapons below cp160. Purple at most.
    -Level all your crafting skills.
    -Don't go afk in a dungeon without telling your group mates.
    -Don't go afk by hostile NPCs.
    -Definitely don't go in the Vivec campaign as your first one. You will get dunked and have a bad time.

    its emphasis the point then explaining mechanic in an dungeon by dropping an ultimate.
    Not all ultimates dropped in banks are by trolls.

    While sprinting uphill or up stairs on your mount pressing jump will make your mount "skip" upwards.

    There used to be an extra speed buff to your mount if you kept spamming your Sprint Key (in my case SHIFT), but I think they might have removed that.

    If you are a dps and like to do random dungeons, make a tank friend or significant other or ESO sugar daddy so that you don't have to wait hours to get into a dungeon.

    Pugs are either really good or really bad.

    Why spend gold on crafting items when you can farm yourself to death and use the gold to buy motifs and furniture?

    Don't freak out over patch notes, everything will be fine.

    Screw the meta, just have fun.

    Yes mount training and trait research will take about a year if you don't plan on spending real money.

    City of Ash 2 on veteran mode is going to give you chest pains, plan accordingly.

    Kick the cat out of the room when you're doing a vet dungeon or trial. They can and will try to kill your toon repeatedly by jumping on your keyboard/mouse to make you miss a dodge or block, or even stepping on your power supply and turning your computer off. Cats are on the bosses' side.
