@@allan9857 Exactly. I'm 810 and only finished every quest in EP (maybe few still left in shadowfen). I really want to do every quest in the game, i finished all of the zone main stories, but i still have lot of side quests in other zones and I just can't get myself to do it.
A few other things: Each "class" (e.g., Dragonknight, Nightblade, etc.) has 3 unique class-based skill trees. It's a good idea to use early skill points to unlock at least one ability from each tree and place them on your ability bar, even if you don't use them (the same for weapon abilities when you unlock those lines), since that way you will level up all of those lines while fighting or when turning in quests. If your build doesn't use any of the abilities from one of those lines, there still may be passives associated with the line that will be helpful, so you will want to get them all to 50 eventually. Along the same lines, it's probably better to use skill points to unlock abilities first, then passives later. This is so you can get a jump on leveling up the abilities. Regarding the starting zones, if you are brand new and dumped into Summerset or Vvardenfell I would recommend using the waypoint to go to your main faction city. That way you can start on the main base game quest line as well as the Mage Guild and Fighters Guild quest lines. These quest lines are great for obtaining xp, gear and skill points, and the overarching storyline in the game will make more sense if starting at the beginning rather than jumping into a DLC or expansion. Optional however - you really can do whatever you want.
5:25 to clearify for people who don't know and are slightly confused.. a vamp/wwolf player who has progressed through the tree enough can take a passive that lets them bite a non vamp/wwolf player once every 7 days while at the respected shrines (the player who bites you should know where it is if you don't). however, this is not the only way to become a vamp/wwolf. its just the easiest (aside from paying real money for the curse off the store, which is 100% a waste of money don't ever do that. plenty of players will give bites for tree, like myself). the original way people became vamp/wwolf and the way you can become one without another player's help is to find the correct enemy and get infected by them. these enemies only spawn at certain times and only in certain locations (if memory serves, the locations are in the zones that the shrines are in.. so the ebonheart pact zone would be the rift). at this point, im sure not many people camp these spawn points now so they shouldn't be too crowded. you can google the locations of specific spawns if that was the way you wish to be bitten 8:20 as for becoming a subscriber to get all the dlc, to also clearify: you only get access to the dlc while you are subscribed. if you get to a point where you can't pay the monthly subscription, you lose access to the zones and quests of the dlc (any items or skill lines you got while using the dlc will still be available for you to use). HOWEVER, each month you are subscribed you also get 1650 crowns for the ingame cash shop (crowns are the currency used in said shop) given to you upon paying for the month(s). most dlc costs between 1500 and 2000 crowns. SO while you are subscribed you can slowly buy all the dlc content using the monthly crowns and then if you need to cancel your sub you will not lose those dlc that you spent crowns to unlock. (note, the latest dlc content, currently summerset but soon will be elsweyr, is considered an "expansion" and won't be available for crowns. rather that will require a direct purchase or you will have to wait until the next expansion drops so the current one goes from being an expansion to being dlc)
This video is alright for new players, but I take a few issues with it. Before people jump on me, I'm a 5 year veteran of the game with over 2000 hours in game and I've done every single dungeon/trial on vet/norm and a few trials on vet hardmode(minus the newest dungeons in wrathstone since I've been away from the game for a bit.) 1. You can't go to any zone at the beginning. (At least not by wayshrine. You CAN however travel to them by foot or boat, or partying with someone and teleporting to them.) You can only go to the starter zones of each faction + whatever DLC you have on your account. The starter zones include: Stonefalls, Glenumbra, Auridon, Kenarthi's Roost, Stros m'kai and Betnihk, Bleakrock isle, Morrowind, and Summerset. If you do not own any DLC you will probably start out in Morrowind because Morrowind was made free for all players awhile back. 2. This point is pretty good. If you're a new player just explore and have fun, the game is great and I hope you enjoy it. 3. Calling skyshards currency is kind of weird, but alright. This point is good too, collect them like they're your favorite thing. I highly recommend you get the Skyshards addon that shows you them all on your map, even if you're a new player. It helps a ton. 4. Crafting is good. You should make at least 1 crafting character that you do all of your writs on and send all of your motif pages to. 5. Same as 4, except don't craft armor for yourself. Have a friend or veteran player make you a gear set of training so you level a little faster. You can craft your own armor but chances are it will be awful compared to what you get from drops and quests at sub level 50. ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS RESEARCH TRAITS WHENEVER YOU CAN! YOU WILL THANK YOURSELF LATER!! 6. Figure out what you want your character to be so that you don't end up getting to end game with a bunch of skill trees at level 25 instead of the ones you want at 50(max). Wear 5 pieces of the armor you want and 2 pieces of the other types, 5/1/1. An example is 5 light, 1 medium, 1 heavy. This helps with getting the armor skill tree that you need to level 50 sooner so you can get them sweet passives. 7. The world is extremely intractable, it's one of the biggest features of the game. Go out and explore! 8. Being a thief is pretty dope, do it if it appeals to you. Every single major city in every zone has an outlaw's refuge. Minor cities do not. 9. He's completely correct about 9, nothing to really say here so I'll use this spot to say that if you are a player that is looking to get into end game go and look up Alcast. He has end game meta builds for everything in the game. He is extremely trustworthy as he is a great player, one of his major credentials is that he was the world first Tick Tock Tormentor, an extremely difficult thing to achieve. He also raids with Hodor who hold almost all if not all world first clears in the trials. 10. SERIOUSLY LISTEN TO HIM ON THIS ONE. Buy base eso FIRST. The game has hundreds of hours of things for you to do. If you enjoy the game then sub DO NOT buy the DLC, if is a waste of money. You get every single DLC excluding the Chapters(What nixxiom calls expansions) + use of the craftbag, an infinite storage space for crafting mats + 10% exp boost + discounts in the crown store. Buying the DLC is a big waste and really the only time you should get it is if you're loaded rich or have bought everything else.

started playing bc of your vids, bro, Mag/temp healing is perfect. feels so good. i was a Rdruid before the dark ages, now i'm a lizard instead of a cow.
I will step in for this one, anyone thats rolling there eyes at the "interacting with basicly anything in the world" part of the vid... dont. I remember when morrowind first came out i walked into the goveners house and stole out of a cabinet and found a furnishing recipie worth 500k. Happiest moment of my life... In game.
I stole some gold at the beginnig amd when guard asked me to pay fine a hit him with sword by accident and started murdering npcs and stealing quite good first impressions wish i know how to join the thieves guild so i can fence those items
(More tips ) In the Outlaw Refugee in most big city , You can pay off your bounty or wait IRL . Join a guild with players and don't be afraid to ask questions . Dolmen farming is the fastener way to lvl up , with a XP pots or scroll U could lvl up 10 - 15 lvls in about 1 hour . Crafting is fun , However it takes IRL many real months to master just one thing say Blacksmithing . Instead ask ur new guild mates " Anyone a craftsman for ....?" And half of the time U may wait but it's worth it : ) , Also bring the crafting items u need to ur craftsman and PLEASE tip them gold . No gold ? Start running quest or dungeons with players. Know guild rules " most" players follow, 1) Don't demand anything , If ur pushy players may kick u out be RESPECTFUL in ur new guild . 2) We don't talk about guild mates / or business outside the guild to non - guild mates...basic I know but you'd be amazed (*-_-) . 3) The first 50 lvls until UR CP will likely suuuuuck , However at CP lvls the fun goings up and up and u really do feel like a bad ass then. 4) PVP / PVE PVP , players VS players , PVE , players VS enemys non players . 5) Just have fun and keep watching Nixxiom's videos !
Amazing video, like I said before you just gave me the last tap in the back. I saw some people making some "adjustments" in the comments but veteran or not your video is a life saver for new players. Keep the good work, thanks Nixxiom!
Remember to start a crafter as soon as start simply by researching armor/weapon/accessories. Also skyshard hunting there would be enough to make a master weapon,armor n jewelry on just one. Races can make a impact like a stamina orc dragonknight. However other races can work well but not as well if paired with race that works best with build you want if that matters
Just downloaded the base game two days ago and I’m hooked , good game I remember completing the molag bol storyline on the PS4 years ago. Anyway amazing beginners guide/tip video mate 👍
Just pre-orded the new expansion. I bought this game at launch played it pretty hardcore, think I was emperor at one point. Left after the Craiglorn trials came out. Came back a couple weeks ago...HOLY SWEET BABY JESUS has this game improved, I am having a blast.
Thanks for this. Been looking for something like this. I think a lot of people have a very different definition of what constitutes “basics” or “for beginners “. Some beginners videos felt like calculus.
The best tip I can input on this is that you should take a build guide with a grain of salt. I played WoW and I got super used to going with the best build and what not, so when I tried doing it in ESO I would be playing builds whose play styles weren't fun to me and ended up sucking all of the joy from the game. Eventually I made my own build that was semi competent and having so much more fun with it.
You missed one HUGE tip for new players: START RESEARCHING TRAITS IMMEDIATELY! Some of the best set gear can only be crafted and will not drop. In order to craft your own set gear you must have multiple traits researched in each separate gear piece. So whenever you see an item with a magnifying glass next to it's trait effect, take it to a crafting station and look up the research tab. The reason why you should start doing this early is because once you have researched multiple traits on a single piece of gear, the cooldown for your next research will become ENORMOUSLY long. We're talking WEEKS and MONTHS here. There are passives that will help reduce that time, but it's still gonna be at least a month to unlock the last trait alone. TL;DR items with magnifying glasses in the text field must be researched at a crafting station asap.
...99% of the best gear is from trials. lol crafted sets are typically starter gear to hold you over until you get trials gear. Where traits come in is mainly jewelry, so you can transmute things like healthy advancing yokeda jewelry into bloodthirsty/infused for stam dps.
@@Soul-Hook not really, lol most optimal setups use 2 trials sets like relequen+advancing yokeda with a monster helm set, 0 crafted items. Even tank and healer setups usually take 1 trial 1 dungeoun set, or 2 of one. Trial and dungeon sets, sometimes even overland sets, are always going to be better. They used to be ok when night mothers gaze was used a lot, but now not so much. the only real exception is maybe torugs pact and that's only 3 traits, also pretty cheap to just have someone make for you.
@@carsonkouts I haven't played THAT long, maybe you are right. I looked up a lot of guides when I started playing and many of them mentioned crafted gear being good. I can't check if what you are saying is 100% true, though.
Definitely inspired me to get into ESO and loving every minute of the story and experiences! Thanks for being entertaining and informative! Orc Warden is a blast!
My most important tip is: If you want, you can buy the DLC for gold. The gold x crowns system is very useful, and Zenimax allows this. (Including, Gina Bruno, one of Zenimax's employees, is on the Tamriel Crown Exchange, one of the game's biggest crown trading guilds).
for all new players a subscription in eso also gives you 10% more xp and a crafting bag where all your materials get stored the bag has infinty storage but u can only put materials in it
I see your gameplay is improving nixxiom. Light attack weaving is very important and is what turns eso from ez boring combat into extreme fast paced shitstorms.
I am a player that is rising to the endgame in ESO. I am also a F2P player. I had this game for quite some time too. One of the bigger tips that he had left out was power leveling. When you start the game you have the skill trees with one skill in each tree, these are called your base skill trees. Get those 3 skills for the trees asap. You don't have to even use all of them to level up their specific tree. They can level up by using anything, but they have to be on the bar you are using to level them up. Another thing is that lets say you kill something with a bow and unlock the bow skill tree. Once you get one of the skills in that weapon tree and put it on your bar, you don't have to have the bow equiped to level up that skill tree. The skill from that skill tree just has to be on your bar to level up your bow skill tree, but it won't level up that bow skill. So after you have that skill on your bar you can use a different weapon and and at the same time level that other weapons skill tree.
ESO is great fun - I recently picked the game back up after being bored of WoW, my character was already lvl 50, champion 90, I re-subbed and bought Summerset, I’ve been doing battlegrounds, quests, crafting, dungeons, delves, Cyrodiil world PvP, soloing world bosses and reading more into the lore - I’ve only completed the Ebonheart Pact zones, Summerset and Morrowind - now I’m CP 280, have a full set of Gloom-Graced gear, use a 2H axe and a bow, heavy armour with self heals, lots of defence and average damage (pretty much a Dps-Tank hybrid with the odd self heal + shields) and I’m pretty much unkillable in pve world content. There’s so much more to do as well, I haven’t even started the other faction zones + really looking forward to Elsweyr! Keep up the ESO content Nixxiom.
If you are deciding whether to play on console or pc I strongly suggest pc. pc version allows you to use addons which helps a lot in various ways. (Combat Metrics for checking dps, addons that tracks skyshards and lorebooks on map ect.)
1. Perffect the Roll Dodge ability so you can avoid damage. 2. Learn how to weave Light and Heavy attacks into Ability attacks. 3. Learn how to Animation cancel.
I just bought eso and thought I'd check out some tips for new players me someone whos never seen a video of this guy in my LIFE 0:12 "Oh dear god.." Me almost clicking off the video 0:17 *breathes sigh of relief*
I'll be picking this up tomorrow! Never played and almost decided to go back to wow but I loved every elder scrolls game! Let me know if you want to party up!
@@Bitterman5868 it's too bad we wont have a live reaction to him playing his first dungeon. he'd probably be nearly lvl 50 the next time he turns on his stream lol. i felt soo bad for him yesterday, when those people ruined his questing
Crafting was definitely worthwhile when I was first leveling up. I made myself new armor at several intervals. When I got to about level 50 I had far more gold than I had skill in crafting though so I just bought the armor at that point lol, but to be fair it's probably a better use of time to grind dungeons or whatever else for your armor late game. You still want those skills in crafting for upgrading. Deconstruct everything!
Love crafting in Bethesda games just because i like to collect. I just got eso last night and wanted to know more about player homes and the factor of displaying your armors and weapons and collectibles
Yes please make another video about eso and helping new players!I have bought the game because of you(the base game for now, im low on cash since i dont work) and im having fun with it. I only played few hours and i can see it has more depth than bfa ever wishes to have! Good video.!
The biggest perk I would say for having a subscription to the game is the unlimited space crafting bag. It's literally unlimited. And since it's separate from your main inventory, you never have to worry about clogging your inventory up with crafting materials. Another tip is you can even pay gold in game to expand your inventory size in multiple ways. There is a bag vendor that can do it and you can get another 60 I believe through the stable.
Im a new player. I picked a nord dragonknight becouse I loved skyrim and that sounded the most like it. Could you explain to me why Nord is in your opinion the best race?
i usually do not comment but this vid saved my eso experience. i just started a month ago and googled the endgame build and do all the mistakes you mentioned. Now i know i should relax and not see it as a competition. just chillin in tamriel
You're a new player too though lol. Chill on the advice videos til you have some more experience imo; I think you'll look back on this and think every point could have been more accurate. Gage Pederson's comment did a good job explaining why.
a lot of people from the ex-wow-player community are going to be hopping onto the game, and everyone from the WoW community knows nixxiom, so i think him making this video was a super good move. Even if he got it a little bit wrong, its better than no info.
I played when it came out, didn't really enjoy it, obviously played WoW, haven't really had any game to enjoy and when I see you make these ESO videos, I think I should probably go back and try it out again. I watched your last video about BFA where you went back for the free weekend and you talked about the social aspect being a big reason you were into the game but I know WoW lost it's soul, nobody talks anymore, but as I grew up I stopped talking too. I don't really have anyone to play with so i'm thinking if I go over to your Twitch that maybe there i'll have some luck, I really want to get into that social aspect but I think i'll need help. Thanks for inspiring me to play ESO again, Nixxiom! You're my favorite youtuber!
Been watching a lot of your ESO videos, I tried it at launch and wasn't a huge fan, which I though was disappointing because I'm a die hard ES fan. However with all this new content I'm actually excited to revisit this game, thank you for your videos!
I started it yesterday, and i got that feeling that i had 10 years ago when 17yo me first saw Eversong Woods. I was overwhelmed. Thank you Nixxiom for Trying to bring us this Game closer. You did somthing good there.
Great Vid but you missed one of the main benefits of subbing... The Craft Bag! You'll get buried under Crafting Mats pretty quick in this game as they are everywhere. The Craft Bag is a special bag for ESO Plus members that stores all of your mats so you don't have them taking up valuable Inventory/Bank space. It's probably the single best perk of having a Sub.
I wanted to correct the wyahrine thing- you can only teleport to wayshrines you have been. You can also go to a wayshrine , dungeon, delve house by using gold to teleport. And you can also teleport to a friend, even if you haven’t visited that area
Never played wow but I always enjoyed your content. As a eso player for years I'm super excited to see you jump to the darkside, keep up the great content.
Some great tips for beginners! Been playing ESO for 3+ years now and I'm still finding out of the way places in all the zones. The 'do what you want' style of progression really stands above all other MMO's imo. Looking forward to more ESO videos from you Nixxiom. See ya in Tamriel!
Thank you sir, this is exactly what I was looking for. I was actually getting frustrated because I was so used to other typical mmos and ESO had me confused at the starting zone lol
Because of you I few weeks ago I got introduced into this amazing game. Thank you. I have been playing on my PC hooked up to my 4K tv with the game pad option turned on (which the game does support in settings at 4096x 2160 ) and literally have been blown away from the graphics, to scale of the world to the brilliant voice acted story telling of this game. Appreciate these videos btw 🤙🏽
Do a video for your build, talking about how you decided to make your char, what armor do you use and why, the abilities and why do you like using them etc.
ive been playing for awhile now and im about to hit the 300cp mark and im loving it, the dungeons feel so big and interesting. I also just finished my cadwells gold achievement so i can work on crafting my sets for vet now, love the content nixxiom keep it up!
I am new to eso on ps4 and watching vids on how to start or where to start it is not as crazy as a game like black dessert online but i am glad i found some content like yours thanks for the vid
One other important starter tip get asked ALOT. Is don't worry about builds until much later, use skill points on abilities and things you like the sound of or want to experiement. Eventually you'll probably want to level everything up anyway! And you can always respec to get those skill points back and try a new set of skills!
You got me into this game, and now I truly believe that it deserves to have more subs than WoW. It still maintains most of its elder scrolls feel without feeling like the typical WoW clones we have been getting, Huge amount of content to keep you going for a long time. I've never been a fan of the over the top combat systems in Asian mmos. I think the best thing about plus is the crafting bag they give you.
Started playing 2 days ago thx to yours videos and i was surprised in a good way. First time i felt bad for completing a quest because i didn't want it to end. XD

Respect for people that do this just to help, amqzing dude 🙏
This video is alright for new players, but I take a few issues with it. Before people jump on me, I'm a 5 year veteran of the game with over 2000 hours in game and I've done every single dungeon/trial on vet/norm and a few trials on vet hardmode(minus the newest dungeons in wrathstone since I've been away from the game for a bit.)
1. You can't go to any zone at the beginning. (At least not by wayshrine. You CAN however travel to them by foot or boat, or partying with someone and teleporting to them.) You can only go to the starter zones of each faction + whatever DLC you have on your account. The starter zones include: Stonefalls, Glenumbra, Auridon, Kenarthi's Roost, Stros m'kai and Betnihk, Bleakrock isle, Morrowind, and Summerset. If you do not own any DLC you will probably start out in Morrowind because Morrowind was made free for all players awhile back.

5. Same as 4, except don't craft armor for yourself. Have a friend or veteran player make you a gear set of training so you level a little faster. You can craft your own armor but chances are it will be awful compared to what you get from drops and quests at sub level 50. ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS RESEARCH TRAITS WHENEVER YOU CAN! YOU WILL THANK YOURSELF LATER!!
6. Figure out what you want your character to be so that you don't end up getting to end game with a bunch of skill trees at level 25 instead of the ones you want at 50(max). Wear 5 pieces of the armor you want and 2 pieces of the other types, 5/1/1. An example is 5 light, 1 medium, 1 heavy. This helps with getting the armor skill tree that you need to level 50 sooner so you can get them sweet passives.
7. The world is extremely intractable, it's one of the biggest features of the game. Go out and explore!
8. Being a thief is pretty dope, do it if it appeals to you. Every single major city in every zone has an outlaw's refuge. Minor cities do not.
9. He's completely correct about 9, nothing to really say here so I'll use this spot to say that if you are a player that is looking to get into end game go and look up Alcast. He has end game meta builds for everything in the game. He is extremely trustworthy as he is a great player, one of his major credentials is that he was the world first Tick Tock Tormentor, an extremely difficult thing to achieve. He also raids with Hodor who hold almost all if not all world first clears in the trials.
10. SERIOUSLY LISTEN TO HIM ON THIS ONE. Buy base eso FIRST. The game has hundreds of hours of things for you to do. If you enjoy the game then sub DO NOT buy the DLC, if is a waste of money. You get every single DLC excluding the Chapters(What nixxiom calls expansions) + use of the craftbag, an infinite storage space for crafting mats + 10% exp boost + discounts in the crown store. Buying the DLC is a big waste and really the only time you should get it is if you're loaded rich or have bought everything else.
Oh my God thank you! I came into this video thinking I was gonna cringe if no one corrects with when he gets stuff wrong. You are a god my friend!
Fellow veteran here, thank you. You saved me alot of typing lol
I guess you never travel by ship. Some veteran you are. Lol 5 year vet myself.
If you sub for 1 month you get the DLCs only for 1 month?
*11.* Join a guild... You can join up to 5 PC guilds. Need something crafted, but you hate to craft?? Odds are there is someone in the guild who *LOVES* to craft that can make you the gear/weapon//potion you are wanting....
*12.* Food buffs you... Learn to cook and remember to eat before adventuring...
started playing bc of your vids, bro, Mag/temp healing is perfect. feels so good. i was a Rdruid before the dark ages, now i'm a lizard instead of a cow.
Magicka templars are strong for pvp nice choice.
I’m currently in level 9 right now and I have a blast playing this game. I’ve been grinding all day when I’m off from work lol
I just started as well. Wasn't sure if I'd stick with this game. What class did u go with
I will step in for this one, anyone thats rolling there eyes at the "interacting with basicly anything in the world" part of the vid... dont. I remember when morrowind first came out i walked into the goveners house and stole out of a cabinet and found a furnishing recipie worth 500k. Happiest moment of my life... In game.
I stole some gold at the beginnig amd when guard asked me to pay fine a hit him with sword by accident and started murdering npcs and stealing quite good first impressions wish i know how to join the thieves guild so i can fence those items
Cant wait for asmongolds reaction video.... but also thanks for the vid! Just started a few days ago :)
M Frank don’t be upset
@M Frank its ok frank
(More tips ) In the Outlaw Refugee in most big city , You can pay off your bounty or wait IRL . Join a guild with players and don't be afraid to ask questions . Dolmen farming is the fastener way to lvl up , with a XP pots or scroll U could lvl up 10 - 15 lvls in about 1 hour . Crafting is fun , However it takes IRL many real months to master just one thing say Blacksmithing . Instead ask ur new guild mates " Anyone a craftsman for ....?" And half of the time U may wait but it's worth it : ) , Also bring the crafting items u need to ur craftsman and PLEASE tip them gold . No gold ? Start running quest or dungeons with players. Know guild rules " most" players follow, 1) Don't demand anything , If ur pushy players may kick u out be RESPECTFUL in ur new guild . 2) We don't talk about guild mates / or business outside the guild to non - guild mates...basic I know but you'd be amazed (*-_-) . 3) The first 50 lvls until UR CP will likely suuuuuck , However at CP lvls the fun goings up and up and u really do feel like a bad ass then. 4) PVP / PVE PVP , players VS players , PVE , players VS enemys non players . 5) Just have fun and keep watching Nixxiom's videos !
dolmen farming isnt the fastest way, its the laziest way, but not the fastest. the fastest one u need to work ur ass off in a farming spot.
Amazing video, like I said before you just gave me the last tap in the back. I saw some people making some "adjustments" in the comments but veteran or not your video is a life saver for new players. Keep the good work, thanks Nixxiom!
just got this game during the steam sale, you've made me excited to try it out!
Same here dude
Remember to start a crafter as soon as start simply by researching armor/weapon/accessories. Also skyshard hunting there would be enough to make a master weapon,armor n jewelry on just one. Races can make a impact like a stamina orc dragonknight. However other races can work well but not as well if paired with race that works best with build you want if that matters
This is a way better overall outlook and explanation than any previous vids. Goodjob.
I have to admit, I had it before I saw you started playing, but seeing you play actually made me play it again. and now I'm hooked to it ^_^
Thx man
This was very informative, I think I will pick this game up now. Thank you Nixxiom.
Just downloaded the base game two days ago and I’m hooked , good game I remember completing the molag bol storyline on the PS4 years ago. Anyway amazing beginners guide/tip video mate 👍
Just pre-orded the new expansion. I bought this game at launch played it pretty hardcore, think I was emperor at one point.
Left after the Craiglorn trials came out.
Came back a couple weeks ago...HOLY SWEET BABY JESUS has this game improved, I am having a blast.
same just resubbed its awesome
Thanks for this. Been looking for something like this. I think a lot of people have a very different definition of what constitutes “basics” or “for beginners “. Some beginners videos felt like calculus.
The best tip I can input on this is that you should take a build guide with a grain of salt. I played WoW and I got super used to going with the best build and what not, so when I tried doing it in ESO I would be playing builds whose play styles weren't fun to me and ended up sucking all of the joy from the game. Eventually I made my own build that was semi competent and having so much more fun with it.
I just started playing this game a week ago and enjoyed this video. Looks like there is so much to do in ESO.
900 hours and still like to watch these. I started playing when i had a ps4 then switched to pc :)
Just had a blast on it tonight. The quests and mechcanics are very good.
You missed one HUGE tip for new players:
START RESEARCHING TRAITS IMMEDIATELY!
Some of the best set gear can only be crafted and will not drop. In order to craft your own set gear you must have multiple traits researched in each separate gear piece. So whenever you see an item with a magnifying glass next to it's trait effect, take it to a crafting station and look up the research tab. The reason why you should start doing this early is because once you have researched multiple traits on a single piece of gear, the cooldown for your next research will become ENORMOUSLY long. We're talking WEEKS and MONTHS here. There are passives that will help reduce that time, but it's still gonna be at least a month to unlock the last trait alone.
TL;DR items with magnifying glasses in the text field must be researched at a crafting station asap.
@Soul Hook
Thank you, sir! I started because of Nixxioms videos and this tipp is huge. I wouldnt knew it without the comment
...99% of the best gear is from trials. lol crafted sets are typically starter gear to hold you over until you get trials gear. Where traits come in is mainly jewelry, so you can transmute things like healthy advancing yokeda jewelry into bloodthirsty/infused for stam dps.
@@carsonkoutsTrial stuff will make up about 50% of your gear, you're still gonna need to fill out the other half.
@@Soul-Hook not really, lol most optimal setups use 2 trials sets like relequen+advancing yokeda with a monster helm set, 0 crafted items. Even tank and healer setups usually take 1 trial 1 dungeoun set, or 2 of one. Trial and dungeon sets, sometimes even overland sets, are always going to be better. They used to be ok when night mothers gaze was used a lot, but now not so much. the only real exception is maybe torugs pact and that's only 3 traits, also pretty cheap to just have someone make for you.
@@carsonkouts I haven't played THAT long, maybe you are right. I looked up a lot of guides when I started playing and many of them mentioned crafted gear being good. I can't check if what you are saying is 100% true, though.
Definitely inspired me to get into ESO and loving every minute of the story and experiences! Thanks for being entertaining and informative! Orc Warden is a blast!
I see Nixxiom made this video for Asmongold, too bad he can't make him a new hairline also OMEGALUL
Too bad Nixxiom can't make machinima's for this game he seems to be so much in love with.
@@naquan59 Machinimas takes a hell a lot of effort and time. It would not be worth it for him to make a living. TH-cam would just screw him over.
what is “OMEGALUL” I honestly don’t get it
@@LunchboyXD Hilarious enough for my comment to be on stream, salty boy lol.
@@LunchboyXD No? Asmon read the comment on stream. Haha you're so mad.
My most important tip is:
If you want, you can buy the DLC for gold. The gold x crowns system is very useful, and Zenimax allows this. (Including, Gina Bruno, one of Zenimax's employees, is on the Tamriel Crown Exchange, one of the game's biggest crown trading guilds).
Isn't that insider trading?
I feel like ESO got crafting right, I've never been a fan of tradeskills in MMOs but ESO got me not only into it but had me having fun with it too.
for all new players a subscription in eso also gives you 10% more xp and a crafting bag where all your materials get stored the bag has infinty storage but u can only put materials in it
I see your gameplay is improving nixxiom. Light attack weaving is very important and is what turns eso from ez boring combat into extreme fast paced shitstorms.
I am a player that is rising to the endgame in ESO. I am also a F2P player. I had this game for quite some time too. One of the bigger tips that he had left out was power leveling. When you start the game you have the skill trees with one skill in each tree, these are called your base skill trees. Get those 3 skills for the trees asap. You don't have to even use all of them to level up their specific tree. They can level up by using anything, but they have to be on the bar you are using to level them up. Another thing is that lets say you kill something with a bow and unlock the bow skill tree. Once you get one of the skills in that weapon tree and put it on your bar, you don't have to have the bow equiped to level up that skill tree. The skill from that skill tree just has to be on your bar to level up your bow skill tree, but it won't level up that bow skill. So after you have that skill on your bar you can use a different weapon and and at the same time level that other weapons skill tree.
LMAO "The last thing you want to do, is be a lonely guy with a receding hairline" at first i predicted this was for asmon but now i know it
ESO is great fun - I recently picked the game back up after being bored of WoW, my character was already lvl 50, champion 90, I re-subbed and bought Summerset, I’ve been doing battlegrounds, quests, crafting, dungeons, delves, Cyrodiil world PvP, soloing world bosses and reading more into the lore - I’ve only completed the Ebonheart Pact zones, Summerset and Morrowind - now I’m CP 280, have a full set of Gloom-Graced gear, use a 2H axe and a bow, heavy armour with self heals, lots of defence and average damage (pretty much a Dps-Tank hybrid with the odd self heal + shields) and I’m pretty much unkillable in pve world content.
There’s so much more to do as well, I haven’t even started the other faction zones + really looking forward to Elsweyr! Keep up the ESO content Nixxiom.
First time watching. Almost clicked off the video when I heard that accent then realized it wasn’t your real voice and continued 😂
Seeing Nixxiom light attacks weave, *sheds a year* he's growing up so fast
Fun guide, and one that will help new players a ton :) nice to say Nixxiom is a part of the ESO community :) Kudos good Sir
If you are deciding whether to play on console or pc I strongly suggest pc. pc version allows you to use addons which helps a lot in various ways. (Combat Metrics for checking dps, addons that tracks skyshards and lorebooks on map ect.)
Just started out and really needed to hear this pieces of information! Well thank you, ma man!
You enjoy yourself out there. Peace!
Here before asmongold. Btw, He said that if the next expansion was a scourge one he would shave his hair
You got me trying out ESO since the beta! I have no idea what i’m doing in game but I know I’m having so much fun!
I like that Witcher 3 music in the background
Wrothgar was my fav Dlc so far
agreed! That main quest line is best in the game imo
I'm glad more people are getting into this game. I also started playing again. I bought and played it on launch but it sucked. Now it's superb.
1. Perffect the Roll Dodge ability so you can avoid damage.
2. Learn how to weave Light and Heavy attacks into Ability attacks.
3. Learn how to Animation cancel.
I’ve tried this game I really like it so far
Long time ESO player who just really enjoys your vids, man. Glad you're into the game. Gonna check out your Twitch soon.
Another tip Asmongold! use abilities a split second after auto attacks and weave in held down attacks for more damage!
he noticed you. well done~
Awesome tips dude I am genuinely looking forward to changing my starting zone as the starter quests seem very boring. Can’t wait!
I just bought eso and thought I'd check out some tips for new players
me someone whos never seen a video of this guy in my LIFE
0:12 "Oh dear god.."
Me almost clicking off the video
0:17 *breathes sigh of relief*
I'll be picking this up tomorrow! Never played and almost decided to go back to wow but I loved every elder scrolls game! Let me know if you want to party up!
Asmon this is for you body 9:05 - 9:18 take his words and become Full time ESO player ...... love you man keep it up.
0:00 Nixxiom is trying to not lose his accent in the UK xd
Thanks to your videos I’ve gotten back into the game and I’m really enjoying it and your videos. Thank you!
You persuaded McConnel first with your dashing looks just to get to Asmongold, didn't you?
Ikelos I wanna see him play
@M Frank You have only 1 playlist on your channel and it's named "Asmongold".
Contains one Assertionsin video of Asmon's stream.
Moving over from years of WOW and going to give ESO a try - thanks for the videos
Asmonbald reacts here we come! :D
he's occupied playing secretly today
@@Bitterman5868 it's too bad we wont have a live reaction to him playing his first dungeon. he'd probably be nearly lvl 50 the next time he turns on his stream lol. i felt soo bad for him yesterday, when those people ruined his questing
Crafting was definitely worthwhile when I was first leveling up. I made myself new armor at several intervals. When I got to about level 50 I had far more gold than I had skill in crafting though so I just bought the armor at that point lol, but to be fair it's probably a better use of time to grind dungeons or whatever else for your armor late game. You still want those skills in crafting for upgrading. Deconstruct everything!
Never trust an elf??
AD Bosmer Stamblade FTW!
Elden Root Senior High School Football Rulez!!
😂
Praise Y’ffre!
Love crafting in Bethesda games just because i like to collect. I just got eso last night and wanted to know more about player homes and the factor of displaying your armors and weapons and collectibles
Noone:
Nixxium: C R A F T I N G
Yes please make another video about eso and helping new players!I have bought the game because of you(the base game for now, im low on cash since i dont work) and im having fun with it. I only played few hours and i can see it has more depth than bfa ever wishes to have! Good video.!
Ah yes I love old wow players converting into eso . Yes yes yes join the dark side brothers
@haleysrebornbabies is this game better than wow ? wow classic ?
The biggest perk I would say for having a subscription to the game is the unlimited space crafting bag. It's literally unlimited. And since it's separate from your main inventory, you never have to worry about clogging your inventory up with crafting materials. Another tip is you can even pay gold in game to expand your inventory size in multiple ways. There is a bag vendor that can do it and you can get another 60 I believe through the stable.
This tells me you didn't play Morrowind Oblivion and Skyrim
1ofus TM Why would he need to?
I mean, besides lore, playing elder scrolls' predecessors doesn't seem important
@@lukesecrest8859 is eso before or after skyrim?
@@bazirancovek well after, at least 3 or 4 years I think.
Nerd alert!
Great video and good job explaining things, I'm a returning player as of 10 mins ago and I havent played in a few years
Pro tip #1: Choose Nord
Redguard BBC master race
(Big Black Club)
Im a new player. I picked a nord dragonknight becouse I loved skyrim and that sounded the most like it. Could you explain to me why Nord is in your opinion the best race?
I got me and 2 buddies playing ESO now cause of you :D I been loving our adventures so far, keep up with the amazing videos man!
Now i'm scared that nixxiom isnt even gonna play Vanilla WoW when it releases._:)
He will. Trust me.
@Lodewijk Vogels is gonna suck anyway so who cares
I was really excited to see that this video with 10 tips, fit right into about 10 minutes.
Asmongold will find any reason to quit the game and return to that garbage expansion because you can’t keep a crack head away for long.
This will happen within a week or two
i usually do not comment but this vid saved my eso experience. i just started a month ago and googled the endgame build and do all the mistakes you mentioned. Now i know i should relax and not see it as a competition. just chillin in tamriel
You're a new player too though lol. Chill on the advice videos til you have some more experience imo; I think you'll look back on this and think every point could have been more accurate. Gage Pederson's comment did a good job explaining why.
a lot of people from the ex-wow-player community are going to be hopping onto the game, and everyone from the WoW community knows nixxiom, so i think him making this video was a super good move. Even if he got it a little bit wrong, its better than no info.
🤦♂️
I played when it came out, didn't really enjoy it, obviously played WoW, haven't really had any game to enjoy and when I see you make these ESO videos, I think I should probably go back and try it out again.
I watched your last video about BFA where you went back for the free weekend and you talked about the social aspect being a big reason you were into the game but I know WoW lost it's soul, nobody talks anymore, but as I grew up I stopped talking too.
I don't really have anyone to play with so i'm thinking if I go over to your Twitch that maybe there i'll have some luck, I really want to get into that social aspect but I think i'll need help.
Thanks for inspiring me to play ESO again, Nixxiom! You're my favorite youtuber!
@Lodewijk Vogels THEN WHY DOES HE LIKE IT?
THEN WHY DID I GET BORED WHEN I WAS NEW TO THE GAME?
Been watching a lot of your ESO videos, I tried it at launch and wasn't a huge fan, which I though was disappointing because I'm a die hard ES fan. However with all this new content I'm actually excited to revisit this game, thank you for your videos!
Great Vid Nixxiom, I switched to ESO about a month ago and glad you're making content videos. Ill see you ingame
I started it yesterday, and i got that feeling that i had 10 years ago when 17yo me first saw Eversong Woods. I was overwhelmed. Thank you Nixxiom for Trying to bring us this Game closer. You did somthing good there.
Great Vid but you missed one of the main benefits of subbing... The Craft Bag! You'll get buried under Crafting Mats pretty quick in this game as they are everywhere. The Craft Bag is a special bag for ESO Plus members that stores all of your mats so you don't have them taking up valuable Inventory/Bank space. It's probably the single best perk of having a Sub.
I wanted to correct the wyahrine thing- you can only teleport to wayshrines you have been. You can also go to a wayshrine , dungeon, delve house by using gold to teleport. And you can also teleport to a friend, even if you haven’t visited that area
Never played wow but I always enjoyed your content. As a eso player for years I'm super excited to see you jump to the darkside, keep up the great content.
Some great tips for beginners! Been playing ESO for 3+ years now and I'm still finding out of the way places in all the zones. The 'do what you want' style of progression really stands above all other MMO's imo. Looking forward to more ESO videos from you Nixxiom. See ya in Tamriel!
ooo nice was waiting for this vid! Your content is at least partially responsible for my current enjoyment of mmo's atm (as i tried out eso).
I hope all the new people trying ESO really give it a chance, really awesome game.
Thank you sir, this is exactly what I was looking for. I was actually getting frustrated because I was so used to other typical mmos and ESO had me confused at the starting zone lol
I recently started playing this game and I am loving it. These tips were really helpful. Will you be making a sequel to this like you mentioned?
Because of you I few weeks ago I got introduced into this amazing game. Thank you. I have been playing on my PC hooked up to my 4K tv with the game pad option turned on (which the game does support in settings at 4096x 2160 ) and literally have been blown away from the graphics, to scale of the world to the brilliant voice acted story telling of this game. Appreciate these videos btw 🤙🏽
Hahaha. I did not expect that remark towards the end! Hahaha!!! You get a new sub!
Thank you so much I'm excited to start
Waiting for it to download now
It makes me happy seeing a bunch of new people play ESO
Do a video for your build, talking about how you decided to make your char, what armor do you use and why, the abilities and why do you like using them etc.
ive been playing for awhile now and im about to hit the 300cp mark and im loving it, the dungeons feel so big and interesting. I also just finished my cadwells gold achievement so i can work on crafting my sets for vet now, love the content nixxiom keep it up!
I play the game already and you make me more excited to play it. Thanks for the video and keep up the good work!
I am new to eso on ps4 and watching vids on how to start or where to start it is not as crazy as a game like black dessert online but i am glad i found some content like yours thanks for the vid
One other important starter tip get asked ALOT. Is don't worry about builds until much later, use skill points on abilities and things you like the sound of or want to experiement. Eventually you'll probably want to level everything up anyway! And you can always respec to get those skill points back and try a new set of skills!
You got me into this game, and now I truly believe that it deserves to have more subs than WoW. It still maintains most of its elder scrolls feel without feeling like the typical WoW clones we have been getting, Huge amount of content to keep you going for a long time. I've never been a fan of the over the top combat systems in Asian mmos. I think the best thing about plus is the crafting bag they give you.
point 3 the skyshards, unless it is broken, get the add on that show you where the skyshards are on the map, helps a lot ;)
Started playing 2 days ago thx to yours videos and i was surprised in a good way. First time i felt bad for completing a quest because i didn't want it to end. XD
Between you and asmond gold I decided trying this game, love it so far! Thanks for the advice.
Thanks for posting. I always like to see people helping others!
