Maintenance for the week of April 6:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 6

Why is insight usually the lowest value on our profiles? Is it hard to come by?

    Another piece of insight would be to make only the best gold per unit items for vending to use up your materials. Blacksmithing? Two-hand weapons. Woodworking? Anything but shields. Clothing? Pants.

    You can vastly improve your dps by slapping a Light Attack in between two Activated Abilities. So LA-AA-LA-AA gets you around 20% more DPS than spamming AA (Activated Ability).

    Staff is affected by Weapon Damage and Spell Crit. Weird right?

    Multi-hit non-channeled abilities proc Evil Hunter multiple times, AoEs work with it, and that morph returns 50% of Stamina used over it's duration, making Evil Hunter from the Fighters Guild an excellent ability that not everyone considers. Check it out.

    The point score is low because half the kids here are still in elementary school and do not know what the word means :sweat_smile:

    Go to Cyrodiil as soon as you hit lv 10. Even if you're not planning on doing PvP for a while, you still get scroll bonuses from your home battleground.

    Don't forget all the skyshards you can collect right away, to help boost crafting, armor passives and weapon passives for greater low lvl character customization!!!

    I'm apparently a more insightful person than an awesome one. I'm mostly okay with this. No really. Those aren't tears; it's just dust in my eye.

    I'm okay with being more insightful than awesome, but my insightful is starting to catch up with my lol now. I'm not so happy about that

    Many healers I've ran dungeons with don't realize that resto staff heavy attacks give 10% mana. I only knew because I saw it somewhere non the forums. :D

    I've got a few. If i wasn't so lazy, i would go back and see what i got them for ...
    ;-)
    I just looked at mine, surprising what people thought was insightful.
    Some of it was insightful, I think, but other bits were surprising.
    Me, too. But if you look at them sideways, the meaning of the insightfulness becomes apparent.

    there is much insight to marking 3 pages of posts with insight.

    craft research items on your main and put them in the bank for alts to research.

    stuff and things...

    Mail items to a friend with rts in the subject and they can return to sender. They stop taking up inventory space and your alts can get at them without having to go through the bank.

    Animation cancelling is the best way to add extra dps to your skill rotation. Double clicking attack will guarantee your light attack is successful so you should train your self to double click before every skill is activated for a free light attack prior.

    Higher level items give more inspiration when deconstructed/crafted. Send that useless VR trash gear you your crafter alts for a fast boost.

    Mage light can proc crystal shards without using much magicka so spam before each engagement.

    Insight, most people come here to complain about something and its not very offen they get an Insightful reply, just trolls feeding trolls and people complaining about the devs. (I do it also)

    I just want balance, but that is almost impossible, but I still come here to see if the dev's listen. Sometimes someone will ask a simple question and I can give an insightful answer, but its rare as most people will search google first and find the answer before coming here and asking a simple question

    I like the point system on these boards. I also like that there are no downvoting options. Sure some people want it, but negativity alone isn't progressive. I'd rather let the upvotes and popularity of a topic speak for itself.

    I think more things like this need to be injected in to all aspects of society. So many people are dormant and unaffiliated, but would be willing to leave this level of feedback. If anything it's a way to initiate some kind of action in people. Being lulled into a worker bee tax payer that mostly doesn't vote isn't the kind of country that we created. And I don't think it's the kinda of world we want either.

    Anywho.. hmm something else insightful:

    Follow the coasts for loot as well as the walls. Due to wanting to "fill things in" the developers use these landmarks specifically when thinking of "missed" or "empty areas" because they have obvious structure. inner or object-adjacent filling seems less liberal. It's a psychological thing.

    Oddly enough in a two-dimensional plane where we simply put dots to fill in say... a circle, this isn't the case.

    So basically a helpful tips thread? That would be nice. It should go in the new player help section IMO. I would probably say don't run by trunks that look empty. Some are broken and are actually full despite being open. I've found a lot of goodies from ones that appear empty. Check them anyway!

    :p

    Relogging and Zone to new places can instant Pop your Mail. This way you don't have to wait for it to arrive normally.

    Very handy for COD mail.

    Haha, yep. I found this out by mistake. People get antsy when you purchase something from them CoD and it takes a while.

    This is the single most useful thread on this entire forum. Its about time someone posted anything other than a personal complaint.

    Always use Infused trait on large pieces of armor (chest, head, pants, shield) and Devines on small pieces (gloves, shoulders, feet, belt). This far more beneficial than any other combo.

    Loot everything inside dungeons.

    Keep an eye out for Pepper, Oats and Apples; the three rarest provisions in the whole game.

    Roomba Is a great addon that automatically sorts your guild bank. A must have imho

    Also, make sure you have some cash, as you also have to pay to get unstuck, because it's your fault you got stuck inside a bench while jumping over it in the first place!

    Anyone have any tips for training once you're say VR8? Only thing I know is to go to the public dungeon in Cold Harbour and kill kill kill. Also when you turn in quests you can equip the abilities/armor/weapon that you are trying to skill up.

    I always use insightful when someone is able to explain something to me, especially if it enhances my own knowledge & understanding about a specific topic.

    I try to be helpful as well, not really for the points... So my advice of the day is the following.

    "Don't visit the local hairstylist in town if the weather forecast announces a big thunderstorm. Umbrellas sadly don't help if they break by the slightest gust like in my case always!"

    /stuck will now actually cost you the same amount of money as if you were to port to a wayshrine. Doesn't kill ya anymore :D

    After each game patch be sure to disable your addons and check to see if they are up to date. This will save you the trouble of getting log-in errors and endless load screens.

    Great armor tip - just as I was about to craft some. My crafting tip comes from the real world

    Measure twice, cut once. Or in ESO terms, make sure you've set the level correct and added the trait.

    also check out http://eso-fashion.com/ to get an idea of what style you like (some of it might be out of date since last patch)

    At least 1/4 of any poster insightfulls are not earned because they were insightful. They were earned because someone thought you made a clever troll post or they wanted to say O rly. At least 3/4 of your lols were not earned because you were funny but because people thought you were a [self snip] [self snip] [self snip] [self snip] [self snip].
