Eso Plus Free Trial until October 25 - How to make the best use of it?

Enrik72 · October 2021

What can I do in these few days?
I have no intention of continuing with the subscription.

I have a Blackwood Collection. Blackwood, Greymoor Elsweyr Summerset and of course Morrowind. Imperial City DLC too.

Collect skyshards, finish your surveys, refine all materials and fill your craftbag.

A really good post on reddit. Very detailed

Loads of stuff to do in there. Honestly though they come round pretty frequently and there's a ton of skyshards elsewhere in the game. Main things I always try not to forget are
- log all toons to fill the crafting bag
- top it up with surveys esp in dlc zones if need be
- top off the crafting bag with the standard style stones for writs
- put any new stuff Ive gotten in my house
- dye any costumes / costume hats Im usinge
- maelstrom arena (for skill pt), assassins guild (for blade of woe) and thieves (for stashes) on any new toons

ps And obv farm dlc dungeons for any sets you want. Tbh though, they seem to nerf stuff so fast nowadays I don't really bother farming anything anymore

do the thieves guild and dark brotherhood start quests.
At least dark brotherhood, to unlock the blade of woe. It is often part of daily endeavours. It is not for everybody though, as it can conflict with the role of the good hero to kill innocent civilians.

Not all of them are innocent though.

yeah, but for the endeavours you usually would choose easy victims. Especially if you have no thief setup reducing your detection radius. Like the beggar behind the quest giver for dragon dailies in Rimmen, or some people located behind houses and at the river in Leyawiin.

Thief guild, DB, Clockwork city, Murkmine, southern Elsweyr and Reach main quest give plenty of skill points.

- Log into your chars for the free craft bag
- Visit dlc dungeons and zones for free pets and stuff
- farm skyshards for skill points
- dye your costumes
- get sets your don't have for your sticker book
- have i mentioned the craft bag? 😉

If you are a crafter, just farm the whole time - and do not stop farming. Load up that craft bag, because that is easily the biggest deal about ESO Plus IMO.

If you don't have a crafter and you haven't bought all of the dungeons, then take the opportunity to run the dungeons you haven't bought. Look at what sets drop from them and prioritize any dungeons that have gear that you want. And then farm them until your eyes bleed.

Either way, the answer is simple, one way or the other, you should FARM TILL YOUR EYES BLEED. Until they bleed.

You don't get survey for DLCs you don't have access too. BUT you can get those during ESO+ trial as you have access to them
at the time, so these you'd better do those zones ASAP.

As for OP question, some of the goodthings you can do:
- Make a huge stockpile of cheap stuff that goes into craftbag and never waste bank space on those again (most provis ingredients, trait mats etc). I have thousands of weapon/armor trait mats, cheap provis ingredients, low level refined mats, rune stones, so I just setup addons to auto junk / vendor these, not even worth wasting guild store slot.

- Get all the skill points you can

- Unlock skill lines like thieves, brotherhood so you can at least used thieves troves and blade of woe. I know for sure jewelry won't work without access to summerset, don't know what else won't without access to respective dlc (psijic? antiquities?)

- Farm dungeon gear you really want

- Hall of lunar champion when you no longer have access to elsweyr is absolutely amazing - you can port there from anywhere, decon/bank/chest/vendor stuff and exit though door to very same overland spot you were at when porting, instead of Rimmen how dlc owenrs would. You can do similar thing by porting to any house you own and then previewing house you don't own, but that is extra port time + loading screens. Pretty sure you can as well do the same with any other house you buy in zone you don't own, but you need gold and achievement for that anyway, lunar home is easier.

- Dye your costumes

Also good things:
- Ozorga's recipes in Wrothgar
- Clockwork recipes
- Clockwork target dummy, best dummy for real quick short tests (not for actual dps tests)

Danikat · October 2021

Since I buy all the DLC I want to play my main use for ESO+ trials is to dye any new costumes, or swap round the dyes on existing ones.

This time I also want to change some of the furnishings in one of my houses which is over the limit because I've gotten some interesting things from antiquities and want to swap them in.

I do of course log into each character to dump their materials into the craft bag, but that takes a few minutes at most. I don't go out of my way to farm additional materials because I don't generally have a problem with storing them when I don't subscribe and don't want to waste my time farming things I may never use.

Oh, I might also try some of the newer dungeons, I think there's a few I haven't done before.
