What is something you know that not many know?

Maw of the Infernal in banished cells 2 can be tanked on top of the fire trap and gets a *** load of damage doing so.

Vila Theran in Fungal Grotto 2 can't be directly chained but while moving away from her and chaining you can reposition her so that your allies don't have to fear her aoes. 10/10 stamina dds approve

Nothing.

That unless you are talking about the musical term for loud (which is Italian), the word "forte" (as in, a strong point) is pronounced identical to the word fort (as that usage comes from the French).

So if someone claims that pronunciation is not their for-tay, they are correct. It is, in fact, not their strong suit.

Discreet and discrete are both valid words, but mean completely different things. To be discreet is to be careful and circumspect (its Es are together, as though sharing a secret), while to be discrete is to be separate and distinct (its Es are separated by a T).

On an ESO related note, Pet Dismiss can dismiss your pet even while riding or in combat (it used to be useful during the Assembly General fight if Y+Right Click didn't bring pets to heel). Invis+Speed potions (Blessed Thistle, Blue Entoloma, Namira's Rot) are amazing for things like running through heists/sacraments, slipping around Imperial City, or passing all the guards at an open scroll gate to get books and skyshards (even if your faction's not the one who opened the door).

The bridles on the cat mounts are - just not workable. There needs to be a strap under the chin too....

What is something that many know but you didn't know until 3 years after release?

To delete an item from your inventory, instead of right-clicking and selecting "destroy" from the pop-up menu you can just drag-and-drop it out of the inventory window.
On the character selection screen, instead of selecting a char and then hitting the "play" button you can just double-click on the char.

Well I mostly PvP so:

When you have a lot of Tel Vars and you afraid to lose them, you can use Imperial sigil of retreat (you can buy it for 10k AP in sewers base), you can also use command /stuck (once per hour if I remember well) or simply switch to other campaign if you don't have sigils.

When sieging a keep you encounter heavy resistance on the breach you can use your mount with rapids to get through the breach much faster than on foot thus avoiding a lot of incoming siege damage and spreading chaos in defenders lines.

You can also ride mounts inside outposts (like Sejanus, Nikel, Bleakers etc. but not inside inner outposts of keeps), thus avoiding defenders and oils.

Killing boss in any dung in Cyrodiil gives you 1 hour long bonus increasing APs you earn by 20%.

You can use siege weapons to take down resources guards much faster.

You can repair Camps using siege repair kits.

Quest to kill 40 players is harder to finish in group because it counts only for 1 person in that group, the one who did final blow, while when running solo all you need to do is to deal some damage to player.

Crafting:
Deconstructing equipment made by other players gives more exp than deconstructing looted stuff and is fastest way to lvlup most crafting skill lines (except of alchemy and provisioning).

You gain a lot more air when jumping downhill than up.

- our chars mount and dismount from the wrong side,
- the loom we can buy from the luxury vendor is missing a very important part : the shuttle,
- the spinning wheel from the luxury vendor also has a serious design flaw: the drive band is connected to the bobbin, which would, at best, make a mess and, at worse, make it impossible to spin,
- something that might be helpful in game: the Snugpod is a very cheap house and one of the best ones in game. It's near everything (wayshrine, crafting stations, place to drop your crafted items, undaunted, fighters and mages guilds, master writs dude and an outlaw refuge), and very handy if get get bounties often. Port to the pod, walk out the door and jump towards the lake from the ramp, then swim to the outlaw refuge.

InvictusApollo · April 2019

You can't kill a guard but you can kill every single NPC around him to make him feel like a complete and total failure. I don't know if he commits suicide after hours.
You can tank a random normal with any char that has self healing and Inner Fire slotted.
It is possible to have almost 100% uptime of major and minor protection while also having physical and magical resistances at or even over soft cap.
Playing pve with a gamepad is far more relaxing than with a M+K.
You can make your ESO look almost as good as ultra modded Skyrim.
Some of the cheapest sets are actually some of the best for pvp.
In pvp, in a group, noone will attack you if there are some players in front of you.
There is a "Command Pet" button that lets you choose target for your pet, make it attack it or make it come to your side. But you have to hold it while clicking left mouse button for "attack command" or right mouse button for "come to side command".
The snowglobe house is the closest one to a wayshrine.
Some players have all set crafting stations, mundus stones and a transmutation station. Befriend one and you will never have to run around Tamriel to craft a set item.
You can click any buff in character screen to cancel that buff - also some polymorphs.
There are DDs who are so bad that they actually do heal the boss instead of damaging it.
A single aoe healing ability is all you need to heal a group of even the most inexperienced players in random normal.
If you log out leaving your character in Cyrodill often it may still be there when you log in the next day.
When creating a new character you can actually see how it is going to be looking in certain outfits and costumes. All you have to do is create a character the way you want, port him to outfit station, change outfit or costume and then log out. Then you can use a race change token to see how the char will look in that outfit and costume you set, while changing sliders. If you leave character edit screen, you won't lose your race change token. When you are happy with how your character looks in costumes and outfits then you can just make several screenshots of all sliders, delete the char and make a new one that looks perfectly the way you want.

If u wear 5x Alessian 5x Reactive 2x BonePirate , tripple infused wep dmg on Jewelry u can kill any medium builds in BGs with your 2h, and it takes 4x Meteors at the same time to kill u

Kova · April 2019

I have some things that I'd love to make a video of when I finally quit playing:

Skingrad exists in-game on the outskirts of a certain zone. It has buildings and familiar walls and bridges just like in oblivion.

Cyrodiil has a "dev island" that is home to an old tower and a skeleton overlooking a map of cyrodiil with painting supplies nearby. This is my favorite find.

Bravil is also still accessible by any player and is located east of ADs eastern gate.

If you get outside the map in certain zones, the north side of the end of that map has a special collision property that will send you flying across the terrain if you're knocked back into it.

Using first person addons for your mounts let's you ride them backwards and even drift around.

Quest disguises and unique skins hide vampirism. You can keep the disguises by just quitting the quest after receiving them.

If you dont have an addon to keep your emotes and teleports going when you alt tab, you can just click your text field before tabbing out for the same affect.

Momentum isn't preserved when you run and then jump, but this doesn't apply to running up or down most stairways with IK rigging enabled.

Weapon attacks disappear if you move your mouse too quickly away from your target. Animations will literally cease playing when this happens.

I know how to build concept-driven characters where "most effective tactic available" and "best in slot" have entirely different meanings than they do for the competitive crowd.

That means you are a real theorycrafter.🤗

Does it? I just think of it as character creation and RP. Guess that speaks to my old fashioned pen and paper roots.

Character size affects mount size:

In this image we have a small-sized argonian next to a tall nord (wearing a polymorph). Bosmer can be even smaller, making for an even more striking size difference.

As character size affects mount size, consider when you are mounted and riding over shallow water. Smaller characters will dismount and start swimming a little sooner. Similarly, smaller characters can have a harder time fishing in shallow water.

That I have, and always will have the hugest crush on Lynda Carter and am so glad she's associated with ZOS and Bethesda.

She would make me buy anything they make, regardless of it's usefulness, quality or even if I want it.

Used to be able to stack event double XP over alts. Now if you have say jester double XP still on it will refresh when using cake.

There's a tree near Kvatch that you can fall down into, leaving you stuck inside the tree trunk. It's great if you need some alone time.

Telling people that incoming crits are not a thing in PvE and using impen isn't useful for it

There's undocumented ultra high and ultra low graphics settings you can turn on in userfile. In fact devs have forgotten about ultra low settings and can see missing graphics in new area dlcs for new assets.

You can change PC graphics to look like consoles in userfile.

I have unfortunately forgotten the code to make PC graphics look like console. It was something I did one weekend long ago.

That content can be completed without 60k dps parses or copy paste alcast build.

Hallow city is a great farming route for mats.

All the bots are in camlorn unhindered.

Every buff will recive a counter intuitive nerf invalidating the entire change...

MaidenOregon · April 2019

There’s a runestone near the Morkul wayshrine in Wrothgar that if you hit it while mounted with rapids, you can farm it twice.

I have gotten back to back kutas with it just once.

Salvas_Aren · April 2019

In Vivec there was a guard that could be "killed" somehow.

Too bad they fixed it.

Tasear · April 2019

Small Khajitt house has a farm in front of it with legit nodes to farm of each type. Also flower node seems to only spawn rare flowers.

There's no longer achievement requirements for small or medium houses since the past year.

The pride rock in rawkla is good for showing off titles, emote battles, trades and general social time.

No guards in coldharbor and can loot everything but not pickpocket npcs.

There's a NPC called lost murcrab on a rock somewhere.

Stealing and pickpocketing is best way to level up when new player.

Kill npc after 3 times of pickpocketing so it resets.

Coldharbor house was 1 g for a few hours after release.

Cipher ratio was high very first few days of aniversity event.

First witch festival event was a month long.

You used to be able to stack double XP from different events.

Trash potions used to stack to 200.

You can control luck when refining mats.

Bots are checked for daily.

Dlc dungeons have a lot more books to level up skills then other dungeons.

You can jump walls in mazzatum still.

Bandit UI will auto accept queue so don't lost spot when finnally getting in dungeon.

There's an add on reorder guilds

Synergy cooldown is 20 secs
