What is the oldest item you're holding onto?

ZDunlain · November 2023

Level 35 soul gem and fragments

My beta monkey pet.

You can't get rid of collected pets so that doesn't really count.

I have several Law of Julianos staves I crafted years ago still sitting in my bank, cause they're gold quality and still a good basic set.

There's also that one unique rare fish from Wrothgar that you had to catch at a specific time of day.

I still have my OG V10 Seducer and Warlock sets. I also kept my very first Valkyn Skoria helm back when that was the only item that dropped at V14. It’s all in housing storage just for memories.

Not nearly as old but even more useless, I have a few hundred glass fragments. Nothing can be done with them since merchants stopped selling resin when Glass pages moved to the writ vendor.

I don't know if that will count, but I still have physical copy of the game from 2014. Funny thing is that at the back of the box it states minimum system requirements and it says stuff like this:
OS: Windows XP 32 bit
CPU: Dual Core 2.0 GHz
Ram: 2 GB
HDD: 60 GB
GPU: DirectX 9.0 with 512 MB of VRam
I do wonder if game would work nowadays on something like that

No, even if you could squeeze it into the memory (you couldn't), they moved to DirectX 11 a while ago making a lot of obsolete gear obsolete

About half my marbles...

But I guess you mean in the game, in that case, I have no idea.

disintegr8 · November 2023

Named trophy vault keys, glass fragments, pledge of mara ...... I'm a hoarder.

zaria · November 2023

Has an limited edition forward camp, it let only one player re-spawn in it and dates back well before Craglorn.
And the beta monkey.

Hapexamendios · November 2023

I don't know really. I can't say it's my mind or my hair as they're both gone.

katanagirl1 · November 2023

Probably the soul gems and other furnishing items I got when I started stealing on my Khajiit main. They make nice additions to my housing.

ikzaa · November 2023

2017-18 Account more or less.

And I won't open them until I have the option to turn everything I don't want into gems.

While not a rare item in the slightest, I still have a Assassin's style dagger in my bank that my boyfriend at the time made me a little after buying me the game. Been like 8 years now I've still kept it around, my oldest item I have kept!

This suggests you kept the dagger longer than you kept the boyfriend! 😂

Nestor · November 2023

I have the Beta Monkey and the Imperial Horse. For actual items, Rings of Mara (or is it the Pledge?) I also have a couple of the old Provisioning ingredients.

jtm1018 · November 2023

2 handed mace of archers mind set.

I think I can shoot the 2h mace using a bow, because the fifth fx of archers mind is for bow user.

But archers mind set also drops in melee weapons, the stupidest irony ever.

Oh no, wasn't expecting that! Got a good chuckle from that! Yeah things went rough, but we've made up and we're still friends now though. The dagger has long outlasted!

ApoAlaia · November 2023

I still have a couple of Mercenary Contracts stashed away.

Form time to time I go looking for something or to tidy up and is like 'oh, so you are still here...'

I thought that ZOS would quietly make them disappear but nope.

Just in case someone is not familiar:

ShadowPaladin · November 2023

Hm... I think it should be the Mara's Pledge Ring and some disguises you once were able to get during some quests, but have been removed over time from the game.

whitecrow · November 2023

I must still have my pledge of Mara somewhere. I know I've never used it.

Holycannoli · November 2023

Beta monkey has to be my oldest item, tied with I think the white imperial horse and vermilion scuttler. We got those in the early access period in 2014.

redlink1979 · November 2023

I know I have some Camaralet Grapes in my inventory.
I also have the Scourge Harvester's shoulders in blue - I think it's from the VR days.

xilfxlegion · November 2023

a viper bow -- they took them out of the loot pool so i dont dare decon it because you cant recon it

and i actually have a couple unbound purple viper rings

Kaelthorn_Nightbloom · November 2023

Excluding Imgakin beta monkey then it's definitely Pledge of Mara.

Necrotech_Master · November 2023

pledge of mara, and a discontinued piece of a discontinued gear set (arsonist staff)

Saw someone testing them out on Youtube, they has not been updated because discontinued and died to town or resource guards pretty easy. They are also collectors items. I gave away lots of my old stuff to a player who was collecting them.
But the limited edition forward camp is account bound without saying so.

Paralyse · November 2023

OG Mara's Ring, all of the beta and subscriber rewards.
Also still have all of the stuff from the Elsweyr event rewards (pile of gold, statue, etc.)

Don't have most of the other old stuff anymore, my nightblade was my original live toon and bag space was tight in an era before craft bag existed, so most old stuff got junked

Tenthirty2 · November 2023

When I started my first character a few years ago they hadn't changed the intro quest.
So I began in the slaver's pens where I met Naryu.

The first weapon I ever picked up in the game that I looted off a passed-out slaver was this. Went on many adventures with me until somewhere after level 15 I decided it was time to retire it lol.

Since they changed the intro quest AFAIK you can no longer get this item in-game. REALLY wish we would get the ability to display gear and trinkets as furniture items in our homes.

SickleCider · November 2023

I somehow have two Pledge of Mara. I've had them forever.

shadyjane62 · November 2023

My body. This is my char for 8 years.

Ragnork · November 2023

My wife and I had two of our first alts marry using the ring of mara. The alts are gone, but the rings are still in the bank.

DP99 · November 2023

IDK, probably the "Welcome to Vaardenfel" letter, I guess.

CGPsaint · November 2023

I've got a bunch of old provisioning ingredients, some of the older jewelry sets like Adroitness, and a handful of 2-handed melee weapons for the Marksman set.
