For myself I would have to say it's making money, for what ever reason no matter what mmo I get myself into, I'm always drawn to making money.

My partner on the other hand love's to theory craft new builds and loves to decorate houses.

In fact she's so good at it that I got her to decorate mine.

So back to the question, what is your favourite thing to do?

Is it:

Fishing?
Farming nodes?
PVP?
Running dungeons?
Running trials?
Housing?
Making money?
Questing?
Roll playing with friends?

Let me know below.

    This is going to sound really weird, but I love zone chat. Sometimes it's an unrelenting dumpster fire. Sometimes you can see new players coming to grips with the game. You can offer advice. You can torment trolls. Sometimes you can just make someone's day.

    Hi @NaomiHutt ,
    thank you for contributing a positive post, much appreciated 😊.

    I enjoy questing especially in new zones, I also love levelling alts and working on their skill lines, collecting skyshards and lore books.
    I enjoy dungeons and learning new boss mechanics
    I enjoy events
    I love housing and decorating different types of places aswell as building my own houses.
    I love opening up the achievement furnishings..i find tasks like that motivating
    I also love the crafting system in eso so i have lots of crafters im levelling even though i already have a grand mastr crafter
    I enjoy fishing and it's something i do to make some gold
    I also am still in the process of collecting all my crafting stations....that is why i do my daily writs to get my attunable stations
    I enjoy trials but i don't really enjoy being in big guilds so unfortunately that makes it a bit difficult to progress atm.
    I did enjoy pugging trials
    I've become more of a solo player andi also i play with my partner...we usually do events together and visit each other's houses

    I guess i enjoy many things even pvp back when i was into it but now i only pve.
    I would go as far as to say i have been able to enjoy all things eso at some time or other.

    I cant pick my favourite ...that is why i got carried away here and made a favourites list😂😂


    Thanks again for this positive post op 😊❤

    Hi @NaomiHutt ,

    You're very welcome, I like to keep all my posts constructive and positive when ever I can.

    I can understand why people have been frustrated as of late because of the way the servers have been playing up, but when it come to life I always try to see the good in everything.

    After all life is far to short to stay upset and angry. I'm sure deep down Zos mean well even if they keep breaking everything ever few days.

    That been said the server (for myself at least has been running smoothly today)

    Anyways let's keep this on topic ☺️

    I second the zone chat thing -- even say chat, emoting at people, spamming elk screech... All the dumb antics you get up to. It's not something I can claim to really do much, but often these things are little highlights.

    My favorite content by far is progress/achievement hunting. Basically DLC dungeons and trials. These are the things I login for, and if I'm not doing one of these I am usually just logged in and waiting, not doing anything. It's the part I find stimulating and fun.

    Last but not least, I'm addicted to creating/designing new characters. Sometimes I have phases where I really enjoy levelling them up too, but right now that venue of entertainment had been exhausted for me.

    Beat a load screen, and have everyone who signed up for my trial also beat the load screen.... lately, I've lost a lot of friends to load screens, its been hard, we had services, but they just keep popping out of the ground only to have the load screens shove them back in their graves. I just wanna be able to say goodbye and farewell to my dearly departed, but these load screens, they sometimes let ppl through. Its hard

    The few very casual trials I've done were mostly pretty fun. Even the most challenging part of AA, trying to get all 12 to step on platforms was hilarious, although I think that will get old at some point.

    Cyro PvP healing, Pug / Teamwork, inventive allied & enemy players / tactics / leaders.
    Player induced madness, either in Cyro or PvE.
    Finding a combination of skills/sets/buffs that work for me.
    And a lot of little things that season the concoction of the game. Kindness, getting a CP point, watching a few intense duels, a couple at Mara's shrine, a player running for the guards, tanking, selling things in Guild Stores etc.

    One of my favorite things to do are solo delves!

    They're easy content to do, and there are so many of them! Each one usually tells a fun little story, too. Often, I'll just pick a random zone and run in a random direction until I hit a delve.

    Housing is my other favorite thing to do, but it's an expensive hobby. I wish I enjoyed making money as much as you do!

    Favorite Foods and Potions
    https://media.giphy.com/media/3otPoTggaYFNd1FdAI/giphy.gif
    • Parse Food for PvE:(DPS) Ghastly Eye Bowl (increases Max Magicka by 4592 and Magicka Recovery by 459 for 2 hours).
    • Gold/Purple Food for Sorc PvP and Meme Tanking:(PvP) Clockwork Citrus Filet (increases Max Health by 3326, Health Recovery by 406 [useful if stage 1 vampire], Max Magicka by 3080, and Magicka Recovery by 338 for 2 hours). Witchmother's Potent Brew (Increase Max Magicka by 2856, Max Health by 3094, and Magicka Recovery by 315 for 2 hours.
    • Trash Potions when feeling cheap: Regular CP150 Essence of Magicka pots that I obtain frequently from playing the game or Crown Tri-Restoration Potion obtained from dailies.
    • Crafted Potions: Essence of Spell Critical (Bugloss, Lady's Smock, and Water Hyacinth). Without magelight this is my primary means of obtaining Major Prophecy on my Sorc, which increases my Spell Critical Rating. This also heals and restores magicka. Essence of Immovability (Columbine, Corn Flower, and Wormwood). I use this in PvP, since this gives me stealth detection, knockback immunity, and restores magicka (better to use it when competent allies are nearby, since it might reveal that you are surrounded by multiple players in stealth and you will not have an emergency pot available after use). Essence of Invisibility with only 2 ingredients (Blue Entoloma, Namira's Rot, Nirnroot, or Spider Egg). I use this in PvE content that requires stealth and if I need more speed I'll use Rapid Maneuver before using the potion. Essence of Invisibility with 3 ingredients (Blessed Thistle, Blue Entoloma, and Namira's Rot). Very useful in PvP alongside the vampire Dark Stalker passive, since you'll be invisible, ignore movement speed penalty while in Crouch, and you'll have a 30% movement speed boost from Major Expedition (I always have this slotted when riding from point A to B in PvP land, since gankers are always lurking). My templar will mostly use Essence of Health (Tri-Stat Potion) Ingredients: (Mountain Flower, Columbine, and Bugloss).

    FASHION!!!! the outfit station is MY end game ❤️❤️❤️

    i enjoy dungeons very much. pug normals and vet with friends.

    trials i dont mind. the content itself is well designed but most of the trials community is a cesspool of toxic elitists. i just stick to normal and do enough runs to get certain sets and never go back.

    zone questing is perhaps my favorite thing to do, but i only do them on my main toon so once it is done it is forever done. i dont care to replay that content.

    not into housing but it is really cool and lots of folks enjoy it. i bought a medium sized house and put some things in it just so i can have my own space away from people.

    i tanked for 3 years on eso. i really enjoy it but.... i tried healing and never went back to tanking! I LOVE BEING THE HEALER!

    never got into fishing, but i never spent time trying to get into it. perhaps i will try that soon.

    pvp has its place. i suck at it and i am comfortable with that. i dont cry for nerfs i just respawn and try again. i dont mind to play long enough to get that tier 1 for the geode because it goes very quick as a healer!!!

    ZOS made a fantastic game that we all love and enjoy.
    theres just so much to do and something for everyone!
    thank you ZOS for making this wonderful game!
