GOLDEN CLOVER NEWBIE CHECKLIST

An easy to follow CHECKLIST for NEW PLAYERS.

Firstly hi! Welcome to the Elder Scrolls Online and the guild!
This may be just a game but the players, formed friendships and shared adventures are very much real!

ESO is a really awesome game and you may feel a little lost in the beginninv with the many options and activities available to you.
Here is a list of things that will set you on the right path without interfering in any story lines, lore or core experience of your journey through the ESO world.

So just before you start your ESO journey know this, THERE ARE NO CHOICES THAT CANNOT BE REVERSED.

You can literally reverse every bad choice except for the choice of the CLASS of character that youre going to play.
I would also reccomend that you start off with ALDMERI DOMINION character (High Elf, Kahjiit or Wood Elf) as GOLDEN CLOVER is at heart a pvp guild and you will be expected to do guild runs which may be a little tricky if your character is on the enemy faction!

If you really want to play another race the ANY RACE ANY ALLIANCE UPGRADE (Crown Store) allows you to choose any race for the Aldmeri Dominion FACTION.

FOR A GREAT OVERVIEW OF THE GAME WATCH THE best 3 VIDEOS BELOW
The are arranged in order from short and general to long and comprehesive.
