    Since you are sticking to your 2-handed weapon, you will find that your power greatly increases when you relocate your attribute points from magicka into stamina, and use the stamina morphs of your active skills.

    @Khenarthi, thanks again for useful tips about armor and skills... unfortunetly i cannot relocate my skill points to STAM until i reach another mark level where ESO gives me the chance to do so as i did when i passed LV50 and wrongly put all points into MAG *face palm*

    You can reset your Skills and Attributes at any time by going to the Skills/Attributes Rededication Shrine in any Alliance capital city. This means Elden Root for Aldmeri Dominion, Mournhold for Ebonheart Pact and Wayrest for Daggerfall Covenant. It does cost gold though.

    @Sylvermynx, about shrines / skills / attributes, i found them in Mournhold for 3.000 coins (duhh, and i thought it was a perk from ESO lol silly me) so i swapped all to STAM to go along my armor and my weapons that i gradually diviate towards stamina too... i wonder if theres an add-on that advises me which are the best set of skills for my 2 weapon bars, based on my race, cast, style?

    Q: Does my behavior affected my CP score and my credibility for future dungeons? is there a badge given for being a deserter among my awards, i reached so far? ohh well, its just a game after all.

    No. The "deserter" penalty only means that you can't join a Battlegrounds match for 15 minutes. That is all.

    In a group you found through the Group Finder, it is random who gets the crown. There is no obligation to lead when you're crown in a random group. For fights, the tank should be the first to pull the enemies (regardless of whether they have crown or not).
    Which dungeon was it? Having a bit of patience with players who can't navigate a dungeon by heart, or want to loot, or especially when they need time to play the quest, should be good etiquette. :)
    Although if the group is not able to take down a boss, leaving it is kind of inevitable at some point.
    in the case of Vardernfell, i cannot do the "Trial Hall of Frabrication" because as soon as i step in, all the damn crawlers, bugs and monsters converge upon me and i die by the attack of 20 different enemies in an instant - its crazyyyyyyyyy (glitch?)

    "Halls of Fabrication" is a trial, i.e. a dungeon designed for 12 (somewhat experienced) players. That you get torn to pieces fast when alone, is not a glitch, it's the trial working as intended. :)

    "Point of Interest" is a somewhat general term for a place that doesn't fit another category. In the case of towns or similar places, doing the quest there should mark the place as "cleared".
    QUESTION #7 (books, scrolls, envelopes, notes)

    i dont know if its from vivec filters OR minion outdated "book finder" addon, but some books like in image below at vivec city, are not existant or way off their initial tracker point... this image shows a dungeon under the city (underground theres the outlaw merchants) but there is no entry access to a dungeon (portal)??? how do i read those missing books if theres no addon update yet?

    It's a glitch in the addon's data. That particular book is part of a quest. After you've done the quest, a copy of that book is placed in the Hall of Justice, and that's why the addon has it at that location. Until you've completed that quest, it's not there.
    Generally, if there is a "[Dungeon]" or "[Quest]" behind the book, its location on the world map isn't too reliable.

    You do get a scroll for each at level 50 I think, so yes, a perk from ESO at that point. But for the gold you can do it whenever you want.

    For skills on bars, take a look at https://alcasthq.com/ and https://www.xynodegaming.com/ - you'll get bombarded with ads unfortunately, but dig through the sites' build links for info on your build and what to put on your bars; both have info on CP allocation as well. The sites are different from each other in some ways, but both have good information. Some people like one better, others the other; I use both depending on what class I'm messing with at a given time (I have altitis - currently 45 characters on two accounts, on both PC megaservers).

    @Varana, hello and thank you for heads up, because as a noob i though who had the crown, was the one requesting a random team of different levels to do the dungeon and was the one leading the pack but now i understand... as for dying i gave up after my 3rd death so thats where my patience lays LOL

    Questions 5, 6 and 7 answered. thank you again.

    @soundzen_PT I strongly recommend watching this guide:

    https://youtu.be/cYcfm1Na5so

    I know it's very long, but you can skip to the part which interest you at the moment and watch the whole video in parts. The time stamps are in the description of the video, for example "Gear" is at 1:03:49 - you didn't write anything about your gear sets, so I'm not sure if you know how important it is.

    Also, I would recommend finding an experienced friend or joining a guild, it's much easier to explain everything in game than here on forum. If you are on EU PC server you are welcome to join me and my guildies, we have a lot of inexperienced and older players and we help them with anything they need: builds, dungeons, crafting...

    Everyone else had everything so well in hand so I had little to contribute, especially as I know nothing about DKs and only a little more about stam character. But yes you can be in two guilds at once. In fact you can be in up to 5 guilds at any one time.

    You also said you don't know what grinding is and I haven't seen anyone answer that. In essence it's repeatedly doing the same piece of content with the aim of getting a certain reward, such as a specific piece of equipment with a certain trait. I guess it is called that because it is repetitive and often seen as boring. Personally I never grind beyond the point where I get really bored of doing something tuough, but ymmv.

    Definitely join a guild and a new player friendly one. The guild I am in even offers tanking lessons, dps workshops, healer role etc
    Also everyday new players ask many questions and we help them with materials, sets, builds

    Here is a link for medium armour sets:
    https://elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/Medium+Armor+Sets and their locations or how to obtain them

    In a set when you wear 5 piece of it, you get extra bonuses to your stats which is very useful. So generally players mix 2 sets to get extra bonuses.

    For example look at bone-pirate: it adds lots of stamina and recovery (how much resource you gain back every 2 secs so you will not run out of resources)

    There are many sets like that which will help you ^^

    CHARACTER #2

    yay !!! ive created my second character today, but im afraid i mess-up with my primary character and his skills / attributes.
    i chose high-elf, dominion and im already at level 3 without leaving prison (claimed 2 prizes awaiting for me)
    somehow i had available 63 points (and 3 skyshards) which i used in that tricolor-wheel menu:
    • were those all the skyshards my primary character gathered past 2 months?
    • were those taken away from my first character? will thief crime of elf affect primary?
    • all shyshards seeml available on map (got 1 at vivec prison)... must find them all, again?
    • what can my high-elf do in order to help me get spells and skills faster?

    i will post a pic but server EU are down till lunch ;)

    Your champion points (ones for tricolor menu) are shared across all characters
    Your 3 skill points (ones for unlocking skills and morphs) are most likely from your 3 levels as you get 1 skill point every level

    QUESTION #8 answered

    from all the bosses from the dozen regions my ESO basic pack has yet for me to kill (tried once and die in a flash) im wondering why the story and the quests are getting darker (undead, bird witch, dark voodoo, sacrifices, gloomy atmosphere) and harder (my power up myself, my weapons and my armor and with potions and food before attack) yet, i die at least twice before i can finally kill the boss by a shred of health left. i said in the past that the citizens petty quests bored me but these latest CP+200 quests drain me out and i feel depressed and exausted (and broke my mouse center wheel, when i was pissed and slammed it) - worse is that im only at CP233... out of 800, LORD HELP ME !!!

    --> i need to change to a slower pace, because ive been on quests and bosses (and 4P dungeons) since last week at CP 180s... is there guild or alliance quest / storyline, to do?

    its the second time this week that i see this kind of gamer that in an area he goes in circles an does a specific tour to kill every bandit or animal time and time again that obviously are weaker than him because in this pic he cuts down a dozen tigers at a time and hes still at it, 5 long minutes in, as i stopped and watch him go 3X around the same field - its a repetition so is this what you call grinding, because the sequence is very repetitive and similar ??? is that good to power up skills? is that cheating?

    QUESTION #9 (auto grinding?)

    (If its not a bot)
    I have been grinding to level up sometimes. Yes its good to level up skills. There are several spots to do it. Some Open Dungeons in particular.
    Every XP grind method is also good to level Skills and Skilllines.
    - Dolmen,
    - (some) Open Dungeons,
    - Spellscar (usually crowded)
    - Master Writs.

    For the most part grinding isn't really needed and just doing stuff that is fun suffices to level up stuff.
    QUESTION #8 (darker and harder)worse is that im only at CP233... out of 800, LORD HELP ME !!!

    1. From CP10 to CP300 the difference is a good amount. From CP300 to CP810 not so much.
    2. Do you have decent equipment equipeed by now? You should, since you passed CP160 and should go for some decent gear. That should be your first priority!

    About starting a new character:
    You can already allocate your CP!. Do so and leveling him/her up is much easier and more fun!

    Btw what server are you on?

    ANSWER #9

    --> @Nairinhe and @5cript, thanks for replying... no, i think his name is normal (caps, small letters, number and symbols in it, but i can return there and watch him again going in circules LOL) so yes, i think hes grinding on poor inferior 4-legs souls.

    as for my main character, im good and strong with my medium armor and stamina weapons since CP230 (im closing on CP250), and i seem to finish quests quickly and easily where sometimes i die 1 or 2 against the boss before finding his weak spot.

    As for my character #2 she got all her CP points automatically but her LV4 skills are few still - all into magika with her attack staff for this dark elf - still in an weak armor while i find a magician robe... I get bored with her, just to know that i must go trough same skyshards and dungeons and dwelves and lorebook to skill up AGAIN.

    PS: im on european server ;)

    If you were to watch me grind for monster trophies you might think I was a bot. Same route over and over and over again until the thing drops. The area you are at in your photo is the exact spot I recently farmed the cat's claw. It makes a good farming spot because you can pull lots of cats at once and aoe them down quickly, and they have a fast respawn. I didnt see any bots when I was doing it. Although I did see some bots just north west of there.
