@@dottzgaming I've followed a templar mag dps build, and now cp lvl 360++, but I'm scared to join battlegrounds. Dunno if I should switch up gear(julianos + withered hand), skills, etc in order to be able to play it? One thing is jumping in there lvl 10 not knowing what to do, but most people my lvl might have proper PVP builds? If we have to get 2nd or better to get rewards, I don't wanna be the reason why we ended 3rd if that makes sense? None of the PVE guids gives any info on what to do if you want to play PVP with that build, and how to make the most of it. It's either stick to PVE or stick to PVP. But then you watch guides like this, and it's just: do this and do that... In terms of lvl I might not be a complete beginner, but I still feel like a beginner with so much, as this game is so daunting... Should I not care about any of that and just jump in?
If you want to PvP, you're better off with a dedicated PvP build. Do keep in mind you can have more than 1 build on a toon - all my characters have dedicated builds for both. Id get a PvP build on and just hop on in!
@@dottzgaming Thanks for answering my question! Not all YT'ers do that, appreciate it very much! I'll try and find a build that will help in PVP! Then hopefully not get rekt!
Thank you so much! Been playing for three days and I'm hooked, yet your guides are what made me feel safe enough to stay and enjoy the game without worrying too much. Keep it awesome!
It’s a great game, keep playing. This game has way more potential, we need to keep it alive so we can get every province in Tamriel and hopefully the continent of Akavir put in the game.
For new player: just go to any major/populated area or city, then start to play your lute and say your a student in the mages guild. You’ll get tips if you beg hard enough. Trust me. Aim towards 810 players
Good video man. A lot of new people joining eso every day. I actually recommend this video to a new guy that messaged me for help earlier. Now he doesn't have to ask me everything haha.
Thank YOu! You have given more basic info than most. I still need a more basic beginner guide. You did explain what a few Traits do which I also wondered. But need more info such as =what do the chat abbreviations mean? =how do i get the small map on my player screen? =what do you do with things like transmutation crystals? =what the heck is a spirit stone? =what do i do with those darn museum pieces that hog up my inventory, are they important for something later? I subbed, will go to your other beginners guide to see if any other questions get answers. thanks
Wanderingwalker 1990 I only started playing recently too, I levelled to 10 and then joined a new player friendly guild, who I do dungeons with everytime we play and it’s such a better experience from the 1st time I played (roughly 6-7 months ago). I’ll plod about doing quests and what have you and then we do some dungeons and it’s proper fun! Fell in love with it now
The fighters guild is a good skill line to have no matter what race or character type you are! The sooner you get ALL skill lines on your character the better!! Trust me you want them all, once you hit level 50 and start to fine tune your character that’s when you’ll decide which skill lines and passives you need to invest in, but you don’t want to have to start leveling a guild or skill line once you already level 50. You want to do them all from the very start!
These games are chalk full of players who dont help and shun players who are lower levels. I'm a cp300+ and guys in groups doing dungeons are down right hateful. They gudge builds if they aren't max cp or running what they would or the meta version build. Godforbid you want to make a build on your own! Newer players have little chance of succeeding due the to seriousness these players take when playing this game. They take the fun out of it and discourage players rather than help them and keep the community alive. When this game dies and one day you realize, "no one plays anymore 😭" it will be your fault! You treated everyone like shit and didnt help them learn. Dont take this game so serious guys, help newer players and let's make this a great place to play. Stop treating everyone like shit because they aren't cp capped!
All video games have their toxic d-bags - regardless of the genre of game. That's the reality of being able to be anonymous on the internet, people feel they can act however they want with no repercussions, so for some, it brings out the worst in them. The key is to fall in with a group of the right kind of people. That's what the Dottz Gaming community is for. The website and TH-cam channel here are chalk full of info to help get new players started and on their feet, and we have a discord server where people can chill, interact, and ask questions - AND we also have a guild on every server except PS4EU. For more info, check the links in the description.
People like you are the real heroes in MMOs. I totally agree. And it's not just ESO. The gaming industry as a whole has become so much more toxic than it used to be. It hasn't totally gone to shit... there are a few games out there with good communities. Lotro is amazing, unfortunately the game itself isn't enough to hold my attention. I've just recently returned to ESO, and haven't really had any interactions with other players so far :/
Dillon YouSOB , I have been exposed to this. Find a guild that are willing to help each other and have events going. I belong to at least 3 that I am comfortable playing with and there are no judgements.
Hey Dillon I'm one of the good guys! I agree with you completely. We have to be more vocal when people ask for help. That's how we combat the toxicity. :)
Brilliant vid Dottz mate. I feel you've really ramped up the quality recently (and it was always ACE!). Proper solid tips in this vid, especially about the books and crafting research. Keep up the great work buddy. Bara :)
Appreciate the video, just bought the game since it's on sale and I immediately was worried about what class/race to pick when considering endgame. Just gonna play for fun, learn, and focus on endgame when I get there
I've just started from the beginning. Main quest. Going all the way through glenumbra etc doing all the side quest and daily dungeons daily battleground and researching everything, gathering loot. I hope I'm playing right. Oh yes and upgrading my mounts. Very important
Ik this was kinda a long time ago. But one really big tip is to not go into eso thinking it’s gonna be exactly like Skyrim. I did that when I started and I hated the game but then started over again it’s my fav game now.
Thanks for the video. I've been playing for years and stumbled on this video to see if I could find a priority list rather than tips. However, from all the videos ive seen, yours actually gives people what they need to save alot of time wondering what to do. The priority list I had in mind would be the easiest things to do as soon as you log in, such as training at a stable, opening all mail for resources, etc. As i said, you were already very thorough with the things you list. Such as main quest importance. I would add that questing can be the fastest way to progress but only if you complete entire zones at a time so you can do more at once and grab all the skyshards as well. Doing the dungeouns in some order to remember which of them you still have skill points in for completing the quests. Although, doing a daily random might mess with this so always doing your random first and battleground dailies are great for xp so long as you dont keep coming in last in the battlegrounds (1st and 2nd to get credit) Anything else that could be added as maybe just advanced tips. Something like this to help people organize 😆. I'm sure you could do it better than I just explained. Or maybe you have already, but just a thought!
I tried subscribing on my AppleTV and the remote input lagged - and I flagged this article by mistake (sorry). Hope you can resolve this mistake with TH-cam. Hope it doesn't affect your excellent channel, keep up the good work
Daaayum! I'm cp565 with maxed out crafting and research including jewelry, except for alchemy which is only at level 27 because I never wanted to make potions except for basic ones for writs. So of course I've completely overlooked my medicinal use. Can't believe I missed it.. Holy moly gonna be a whole new ballgame when I correct this haha. Thanks Dottz!! 👊
Subbed. I’m level 43 and there were two massive things in this video I didn’t even think of. Mainly levelling alchemy, but I’ve also not bothered much with dungeons cos someone said there was no point until hitting cp160.
I Watch You From Afar he probably ment veteran dungeons. Normal dungeons are fine but idd don't go into a veteran dungeon until 160 or you could get a few good ppl who can carry you.
Glad you enjoyed!! And like Direct said, you can start Normal dungeons at level 10, and id recommend it! You get lots of skill points, gear, and exp from dungeons. id wait till 160 for VET dungeons tho :)
Random dungeons are always recommended. What is not recommended is to keep that gear because the gear caps at CP160, anything before that will be temporary. You can deconstruct all you get from random dungeons (a lot of gear) and level up your crafting in the process, win/win
Like they all said, go for normal randoms at least semi regularly. If you plan on running alot of dungeons at some point or farming them for specific gear, knowing the mechanics for a given dungeon early on can both be a lifesaver as the enemies scale and cut down on how toxic some of the randoms can be.
#1 Absolutely agree, you should be focusing on getting as much in your skill lines as possible. Crafting and all that jazz so when you do get to end-game, you can get the build you want easier. I found this out the hard way because I didn't have enough experience in my crafting to craft what I wanted and I didn't have the gold to afford all the pieces via the player market.
ESO plus for unlimited crafting bag is a must imo, and que for the daily dungeon with a friend preferably a tank it’s only a couple minute wait instead of 30
I've noticed the book cases can be reused, so it wouldn't make any sense to not use them when you see them. Personally, I click the bookcases in the Craglorn thieves cave each time I walk by them... which is multiple times every day, and occasionally get a random skill increase.
i would say you have the best beginner vid ever :D im still trying go grasp this game i invested quite a bit in 2015 then had to sell my ps4 :) also leveling crafting gets you the skill points you can re distribute after youve learned everything
I just subscribed bro. Thank you man. I have only played for 2 days and I really enjoy the game but I don’t have all the dlc and am kind of waiting to purchase all of it for a few weeks. Want to make sure I like the game enough to drop money on it. My brother gave me his copy and it has nothing on it, just to try it out. Have to say that I have like every second I have played of it so far.
Thanks for the time and effort you've put into these guides. I'm a gaming vet but am just starting ESO. I will definitely need to find a good guild but I've not even chosen my server yet as it's still installing. Keep up the great work. 😀✌
For gear sets, I was wondering if you could make builds around the various levels and difficulty in getting them. Like if there's a difficult monster set, overworld set, or craftable set that could be difficult to get or is unobtainable because of locked content.
There is just so much stuff to do, i got no idea how people play more than 1 toon. Holy shit xD getting all craftings to max, getting all skillpoints in the game, maxing skill and weapon lines , the questing, exploring, pvp ranks, alliance ranks WHEEEEW. Complitionist incomming!
If we’re talking about dungeons (not vet) once you get a good pve set up just put yourself as a tank cuz you won’t need one due to your set up and skill with it. That’s what I do, vet wise, just create a tank. One character for pvp, one for pve, and one for vet dungeons so you can farm them monster sets/sets of purple quality. I suggested tank because once you get a good set up and abilities, all you have to do is spam your taunting abilities and literally stand and block and that’s all people expect of you and you will always get into dungeons in 5 minute tops. Tank is always hella easy to make when it comes to pve but if you want a tank build for pvp then that’s a different story
@@cherryistrash4080 its a pretty good idea, i go healer with 1 heal ability because 30 minute queue sucks. No one has died in the last like 10 dungeons
Short of the skillpoints and the xp. The mainquest is also a very nice quest line. Also for the fighters and mages guild. These quests are good and fun to do.
My biggest problem is how I have no Friends who play this. I know I want to get into this game because I love elder scrolls but I often get bored of being lonely, anyone want to play on Xbox hmu my gt is Fat Dragonborn Also great guide, need to use these tips as I’m a noob
Just bought this for 5$ I’m truly excited to play this and scratch my elder scrolls itch hoping I enjoy it hopefully it’s not to Grindy with lots of exploration
great video thx for taking ur time to do this! i just started the game 'summerset) and wondering how do i craft or deconctruct, will this open up through story mode or do i need to activly look for certain spots in towns or area's?
Very nice video. The only thing I would like to add for new players is to join players guild, not the NPC ones like mentioned here, but the ones that advertise from zone chat. Why? Some can be extremely helpful as we usually have players that know way too much about the game, we quest together if you need help, provide food/potions (sometimes free), training gear (free), events like zone runs, groups for dungeons and trials (new and veteran alike) and even PvP groups for those of us that are useless in PvP. You can have up to 5 guilds, you can join up, test the guild and if it suits you good, if not, you can leave. The only thing is that I do not recommend when starting out are Trading Guilds as some of them require sales or money, if you are starting out you may not know how to sell or what to sell, no need to bother starting out.
You know that you can be in all the NPC guilds and up to 5 player guilds all at the same time right? if players have questions on player guilds, check this guide out: th-cam.com/video/r3NJkXM9pAk/w-d-xo.html
I really appreciate the manner in which you presented this information. I find most You-tutors are condescending, pedantic & always talk far too fast. Not so here. No exaggeration: I took 500 game hours to determine that I would most enjoy playing a Breton Nightblade. Five hundred. I'm rushing nothing. Leveled to 38 tonight, killed a lot of elves & I'll continue my slow learning curve - as long as I get to kill elves. Not budging on that one.
Regarding the Harborage quest line, wait until you are at least lvl 15, (so you have 2 hot bars available,) and get some experience killing tough mobs like World Bosses, (being helped by other people,) because during the main quest line, you have some very challenging battles, and if you don't know how to play your character class, you are going to die a lot more than you need to.
Did you try the lastest expansion Summerset? I was on the same boat, decided to try Summerset and it just caught me, the land is gorgeous and the way the game is working now feels good to me. Dunno, may be worth a try.
It took me awhile. But I finally got hooked. My problem was the combat, however, I learned later it was on my end. Once I turned the sensitivity of my touchpad up and changed some settings around, the combat enjoyability increased immensely. I also learned how to properly attack with your weapon. I thought you had to press and hold the mouse button, didn't know you could rapidly click. XD That alone made a major difference.
I got this game yesterday for the Xbox one and so far I'm waiting for it to finish updating so I can play it in the morning...when you said research takes hours or even months...did you mean irl time or ingame time? Thats a long time irl if so. I'm a new player to this game...let's hope it ain't a letdown like Skyrim was for me
Hi Dottz, What would recommend for people having trouble with the PvP part of the game. I ensure I do the under level 50 to make it easier( as I am) but it still seems even the lower levels are extremely difficult to kill. I am not new to PvP or online gaming but can't help thinking I am missing something with ESO. Thanks Matt
like most mmos, low level pvp isnt balanced. wait until you get to cp 160+, things are more balanced and youll be able to play with a real build. for build assistance, check out dottzgaming.com
Thanks for the video. Just started two days ago. For feedback I'd throw in the locations of common crafting areas with map pictures and the bank. I was cluelessly wandering forever trying to find a bank and I still haven' t found an alchemy station. In the mage's guild maybe? I'm sure I'll find a post of it online somewhere. I think the crafting station locations are important since you stressed deconstructing and research. Not sure why crafting materials are so hard to come by in game. Finding iron ore is like finding a gold nugget but maybe it is just my luck.
Crafting material stations can be found in any city - if you hover your mouse over the icons on the map, it tells you what the icon represents and if there's more than one thing, theyre in a list. :) Also, feel free to check out my complete beginner guide if you havent already!
@@lionelwhiskerknot To be fair, you shouldn't really need the bank when you start a new toon unless you're experienced and making a new one for a new role.
@@kylebeach6799 I mainly needed the bank since I had several alts crafting which was helping to fund my main character. Needed the space to hold items for future research. I don't have anybody to help me and no guild but made it to level 43 in two weeks. I know people can hit 50 in a day but I actually enjoy the quest lines rather than power leveling. Thankfully the players contributing to TH-cam have been a great help as there have been times I've been lost as on how to do things. I just gotta figure out how people one shot critters who are my same level. I seem to have to hack and slash for awhile to kill stuff. I take no damage with my Dragonknight but it can be frustrating when I see someone kill something in 1 second that takes me 10 seconds :)
I think you at the voice you've given out it's really good I know there's the new season coming out still got a lot to catch up had to start a new character in new console so I have a lot to do not done too bad was playing on my friends PS4 so now I've got my own happy days hours of good fun
This was an excellent video. 1 question, I’ve always hated crafting in all mmorpgs or any game really. Is it absolutely necessary in this game? I don’t craft at all in world of Warcraft & get by just fine. I’m hoping it’s the same situation here.
Nope! You only need to do alchemy for a certain passive but that can be done in 20 mins and my complete crafting guide explains how (and this one does too! But besides research and alchemy, u don't have to touch the system if u don't want to)
As a newbie player id love a video on vocab, slang, acronyms and terms that are commonly used by experienced players. Because its like a while other language I dont understand...
Dottz thank you for this. I am a complete newb, started 5 days ago and it really helps me. But I have a question. Is it possible to level up all the crafting skills of all crafts while still leveling up fighting skills and having both fighting and crafting skills on one character?
There is enough skillshards for a character build + a crafting tree, and some other minor things. There isnt enough to have everything unlocked however
@@PK-uj8mp yes, but you will need to be very precise. If you got every skyshard, all quest possible skill points, and all your pvp rank skill points you should have enough for all the crafting trades, your full racial, the couple types of armor (if you don't follow end game builds and stick with 1 armor type you'll have even more extra) and you should also have enough to max your 2 weapon skills. You may be able to max at least one class skill line, but there's really no reason to, you should only need some of the passives and abilities from a couple of them by end game. TL;DR if you don't spend your skill points on excess stuff, then yes you can. But getting enough to do so will take some time, so i'd recommend maybe looking up skyshard spots for a region when you're planning to stay in that region questing for awhile.
Regarding crafting researching, as a newbie, do your researching for the gear you are or plan to actually use, first, then research all the other stuff.
I really REALLY wish I had known about the research times when I first started playing. I had already been playing for over a year before I realized that I wanted to be able to craft and improve end game gear. It's going to be another year at this rate before I can make the good stuff.
@@dottzgaming oh no, I've been started, I've been researching for months now already. I wish I had the time to make millions or deep pockets IRL to scam crowns for gold. Then I could pay someone to craft gear for me. I got news for ya, gold is still hard to come by when you don't have all day every day to play this game. If I wanted a useless money grind I'd go back to GTA. It's just frustrating to know how much time stretches out in front of me before endagme level performance becomes accessable.
I'm not sure if this is a valid tip, but: is it a good idea to mail items to your alt while adventuring? (e.g. if your inventory is full, while your in a dungeon)
Hey dottz, made a stamblade (started one) cause I got bored of my dragon knight. Is there any way I can transfer gear between characters? Also are some things between characters always unlocked like wayshrines? Thx
Dottz Gaming ahh! Ok. Yeah was wondering about this before I bought the game. I already decided to pull the trigger last night! Haven’t done much yet. Been going through allot of your posts though! Thanks for all the info!!!
Not a nitpick but an actual question. I looked everywhere. I checked almost every Inn in every town I went by but could not find the Undaunted stuff. I even watched a couple people do the quest on TH-cam and tried to copy what they did to no avail. I later found it at an outside bar with a bunch of rough characters at a corner table and joined the Undaunted. It was a real pain and I don't know why. I am a wood elf if that means something. I didn't mean to ramble I'm just asking if that has changed recently or something.
I just bought ESO (sale on steam) and found your guide (nice guides, btw). I was wondering if having ESO Plus is a must have while playing? Will it also deter poor newbies like me from enjoying the game?
SirArchie91 its not necessary at all. The only way it could be arguably necessary would be if you were a master crafter with like 200+ materials. But ive been playing 3 yrs with a master crafter and dont need it 😊
First thing I hear, “Don’t get caught up in end game builds starting off”. I had to subscribe. GG Overall.
Thanks!
So true, one of the reasons i stopped playing was because I didn't enjoy the race I was playing but I wanted to be a certain class.
@@dottzgaming I've followed a templar mag dps build, and now cp lvl 360++, but I'm scared to join battlegrounds. Dunno if I should switch up gear(julianos + withered hand), skills, etc in order to be able to play it? One thing is jumping in there lvl 10 not knowing what to do, but most people my lvl might have proper PVP builds?
If we have to get 2nd or better to get rewards, I don't wanna be the reason why we ended 3rd if that makes sense?

Another useful tip: The moment you get your mount, start upgrading it (stamina, speed, bag space). It'll help out a lot especially in pvp.
Thank you so much! Been playing for three days and I'm hooked, yet your guides are what made me feel safe enough to stay and enjoy the game without worrying too much.

Although, doing a daily random might mess with this so always doing your random first and battleground dailies are great for xp so long as you dont keep coming in last in the battlegrounds (1st and 2nd to get credit) Anything else that could be added as maybe just advanced tips. Something like this to help people organize 😆. I'm sure you could do it better than I just explained. Or maybe you have already, but just a thought!
I tried subscribing on my AppleTV and the remote input lagged - and I flagged this article by mistake (sorry). Hope you can resolve this mistake with TH-cam. Hope it doesn't affect your excellent channel, keep up the good work
Thanks! I’m a returning player and I was worrying way to much about them builds and my character looks lol.
Np!
Daaayum! I'm cp565 with maxed out crafting and research including jewelry, except for alchemy which is only at level 27 because I never wanted to make potions except for basic ones for writs. So of course I've completely overlooked my medicinal use. Can't believe I missed it.. Holy moly gonna be a whole new ballgame when I correct this haha. Thanks Dottz!! 👊
Subbed. I’m level 43 and there were two massive things in this video I didn’t even think of. Mainly levelling alchemy, but I’ve also not bothered much with dungeons cos someone said there was no point until hitting cp160.
I Watch You From Afar he probably ment veteran dungeons. Normal dungeons are fine but idd don't go into a veteran dungeon until 160 or you could get a few good ppl who can carry you.
Glad you enjoyed!!
And like Direct said, you can start Normal dungeons at level 10, and id recommend it! You get lots of skill points, gear, and exp from dungeons. id wait till 160 for VET dungeons tho :)
Random dungeons are always recommended. What is not recommended is to keep that gear because the gear caps at CP160, anything before that will be temporary. You can deconstruct all you get from random dungeons (a lot of gear) and level up your crafting in the process, win/win
Thanks for the tips guys :)
Like they all said, go for normal randoms at least semi regularly. If you plan on running alot of dungeons at some point or farming them for specific gear, knowing the mechanics for a given dungeon early on can both be a lifesaver as the enemies scale and cut down on how toxic some of the randoms can be.
#1 Absolutely agree, you should be focusing on getting as much in your skill lines as possible. Crafting and all that jazz so when you do get to end-game, you can get the build you want easier. I found this out the hard way because I didn't have enough experience in my crafting to craft what I wanted and I didn't have the gold to afford all the pieces via the player market.
I only started playing eso like a week ago and I love it.your vids are rly helping as well so thanks :)
Glad to hear!
Alpaka with a k I am thinking to get it is it still worth it or iam late
never too late
Bro I'm a returning eso player and you've helped a mega ton keep doing what I do bro
glad it helped!
*Starts in vvardenfell.* "Hey come with me!" *gets bopped* "wot" , "oh main quest."
ESO plus for unlimited crafting bag is a must imo, and que for the daily dungeon with a friend preferably a tank it’s only a couple minute wait instead of 30
I've noticed the book cases can be reused, so it wouldn't make any sense to not use them when you see them. Personally, I click the bookcases in the Craglorn thieves cave each time I walk by them... which is multiple times every day, and occasionally get a random skill increase.
every time I see a bookshelf in real life I start walking towards it so I can interect with it
Cornelia Clarapond me too.

Stay woke gamer

I have only ever come across possibly 2 book shelves in my entire actual life, but I’ll make sure to give any others a gander if I see them
PVP Is awesome, when I played on Xbox one I pve and fully pvp afterward for months but, I didn't really know what I was doing but it was fun!
Oh yeah pvp is the bomb
Just started playing this game with one of my mates, this video is really helpful mate.
Np!
Subbing now, am noob, just started literally an hour ago, probably gonna join community if it's helpful, don't want to be discouraged by toxic A-holes
Glad you enjoyed!
Havent met any toxic people yet and im lvl 32 now
i would say you have the best beginner vid ever :D im still trying go grasp this game i invested quite a bit in 2015 then had to sell my ps4 :) also leveling crafting gets you the skill points you can re distribute after youve learned everything
Thanks :D
thanks for not being boring. just started eso so i will definatley be following by what you said here. Left a sub BTW
Ayy thanks man!
I start playing ESO this year, thanks for the guides and infos
Glad you enjoyed :)
I just subscribed bro. Thank you man. I have only played for 2 days and I really enjoy the game but I don’t have all the dlc and am kind of waiting to purchase all of it for a few weeks. Want to make sure I like the game enough to drop money on it. My brother gave me his copy and it has nothing on it, just to try it out. Have to say that I have like every second I have played of it so far.
Glad you're enjoying!!
Thanks for the time and effort you've put into these guides. I'm a gaming vet but am just starting ESO. I will definitely need to find a good guild but I've not even chosen my server yet as it's still installing. Keep up the great work. 😀✌
Thanks :) glad theyve helped!
I'm late to the party but this helps a lot. I subscribed because of this
Thanks Sir Dottz. There is an influx of newbies in game and I have taken one on. This video will be very helpful for her.
For gear sets, I was wondering if you could make builds around the various levels and difficulty in getting them. Like if there's a difficult monster set, overworld set, or craftable set that could be difficult to get or is unobtainable because of locked content.
You rock brother!! Tips taken and I will advance according to them :)
😎👍
I love this guy. Best starting tutorial ever
my motto when playing games: "DO ALL THE THINGS!"
Seriously same... And, imho that's how you have the most fun
@@ashsummers5877 unless you force yourself then it gets dull
I 100% wrothgar in 2 days and half through I felt like dying lol
There is just so much stuff to do, i got no idea how people play more than 1 toon. Holy shit xD getting all craftings to max, getting all skillpoints in the game, maxing skill and weapon lines , the questing, exploring, pvp ranks, alliance ranks WHEEEEW. Complitionist incomming!
Yeah it's crazy! So much to do in game lol
I’m a complete noob at this game so this was very informative and helpful so thanks! 😊
Np!
"Run dungeons!" and then everyone is kicking you out of a group because you're not amazing.
Here I am as a noob necromancer healer and spamming dungeons
I barely even have to heal most the time I'm ruining around with a 2h whacking stuff.
As a DPS, the queues are super long. My biggest problem with the game atm :(
If we’re talking about dungeons (not vet) once you get a good pve set up just put yourself as a tank cuz you won’t need one due to your set up and skill with it. That’s what I do, vet wise, just create a tank. One character for pvp, one for pve, and one for vet dungeons so you can farm them monster sets/sets of purple quality. I suggested tank because once you get a good set up and abilities, all you have to do is spam your taunting abilities and literally stand and block and that’s all people expect of you and you will always get into dungeons in 5 minute tops. Tank is always hella easy to make when it comes to pve but if you want a tank build for pvp then that’s a different story
@@therealest3075 Stop telling people this. This shit is scummy as fuck. Queue with a tank or a healer from a guild or zone chat or something.
@@cherryistrash4080 its a pretty good idea, i go healer with 1 heal ability because 30 minute queue sucks. No one has died in the last like 10 dungeons
Dragon knight tank running all defence buffs and pierce for Argo... I don’t even block most of the time haha
Short of the skillpoints and the xp. The mainquest is also a very nice quest line. Also for the fighters and mages guild. These quests are good and fun to do.
True!
My biggest problem is how I have no Friends who play this. I know I want to get into this game because I love elder scrolls but I often get bored of being lonely, anyone want to play on Xbox hmu my gt is Fat Dragonborn Also great guide, need to use these tips as I’m a noob
Join our discord server and guild! Link to the server can be found in the description
I just back into the game after 6 months of down time. I'll add you on xbox
Gamer tag is ayysmurphyboi
Eso overwhelms me so much
Just bought this for 5$ I’m truly excited to play this and scratch my elder scrolls itch hoping I enjoy it hopefully it’s not to Grindy with lots of exploration
welcome!
great video thx for taking ur time to do this! i just started the game 'summerset) and wondering how do i craft or deconctruct, will this open up through story mode or do i need to activly look for certain spots in towns or area's?
th-cam.com/video/omwKCyjejd4/w-d-xo.html
Check out sections 6 and 32
Very nice video. The only thing I would like to add for new players is to join players guild, not the NPC ones like mentioned here, but the ones that advertise from zone chat. Why? Some can be extremely helpful as we usually have players that know way too much about the game, we quest together if you need help, provide food/potions (sometimes free), training gear (free), events like zone runs, groups for dungeons and trials (new and veteran alike) and even PvP groups for those of us that are useless in PvP. You can have up to 5 guilds, you can join up, test the guild and if it suits you good, if not, you can leave. The only thing is that I do not recommend when starting out are Trading Guilds as some of them require sales or money, if you are starting out you may not know how to sell or what to sell, no need to bother starting out.
You know that you can be in all the NPC guilds and up to 5 player guilds all at the same time right?
if players have questions on player guilds, check this guide out: th-cam.com/video/r3NJkXM9pAk/w-d-xo.html
but, glad you enjoyed the vid overall!
Dottz Gaming ah yeah of course. I meant be in the NPC guilds AND at least 1 player noob friendly guild
yeah i gotcha, it's definitely something that helped me early on! Was nice to be able to bounce questions off of friendly players in game :)
Really good, clear suggestions for first time players!
Thanks!
I really appreciate the manner in which you presented this information. I find most You-tutors are condescending, pedantic & always talk far too fast. Not so here.
No exaggeration: I took 500 game hours to determine that I would most enjoy playing a Breton Nightblade. Five hundred. I'm rushing nothing. Leveled to 38 tonight, killed a lot of elves & I'll continue my slow learning curve - as long as I get to kill elves. Not budging on that one.
Glad you enjoyed Chris :) and sometimes im guilty of the fast talking, but ive been trying to make conscious efforts to slow things down.
Regarding the Harborage quest line, wait until you are at least lvl 15, (so you have 2 hot bars available,) and get some experience killing tough mobs like World Bosses, (being helped by other people,) because during the main quest line, you have some very challenging battles, and if you don't know how to play your character class, you are going to die a lot more than you need to.
I made a stamina imperial dragonknight bow... kite all day lol
Thanks for the decent guide!
np!
I tryed the game but it didnt catch me , but your guides are good bro
Thanks!!
Did you try the lastest expansion Summerset? I was on the same boat, decided to try Summerset and it just caught me, the land is gorgeous and the way the game is working now feels good to me. Dunno, may be worth a try.
@@madestro I'm a new user and I'm in love lol
It took me awhile. But I finally got hooked.
My problem was the combat, however, I learned later it was on my end.
Once I turned the sensitivity of my touchpad up and changed some settings around, the combat enjoyability increased immensely.
I also learned how to properly attack with your weapon. I thought you had to press and hold the mouse button, didn't know you could rapidly click. XD That alone made a major difference.
@@hundragant I still suck at combat advice
I got this game yesterday for the Xbox one and so far I'm waiting for it to finish updating so I can play it in the morning...when you said research takes hours or even months...did you mean irl time or ingame time? Thats a long time irl if so. I'm a new player to this game...let's hope it ain't a letdown like Skyrim was for me
Just recently joined ESo on pc and appreciate the list of things to get started on.
Thankyou.
Glad you enjoyed!!
Hi Dottz, What would recommend for people having trouble with the PvP part of the game. I ensure I do the under level 50 to make it easier( as I am) but it still seems even the lower levels are extremely difficult to kill. I am not new to PvP or online gaming but can't help thinking I am missing something with ESO. Thanks Matt
like most mmos, low level pvp isnt balanced. wait until you get to cp 160+, things are more balanced and youll be able to play with a real build. for build assistance, check out dottzgaming.com
Not knowing the game and trying to figure it out yourself is part of the experience. It's the journey, the exploration.
Great video friend. Just found you while looking for help in ESO. Thank you for the help and explanations. Hope you are having a grand day ^.^
Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks for the video. Just started two days ago. For feedback I'd throw in the locations of common crafting areas with map pictures and the bank. I was cluelessly wandering forever trying to find a bank and I still haven' t found an alchemy station. In the mage's guild maybe? I'm sure I'll find a post of it online somewhere. I think the crafting station locations are important since you stressed deconstructing and research. Not sure why crafting materials are so hard to come by in game. Finding iron ore is like finding a gold nugget but maybe it is just my luck.
Crafting material stations can be found in any city - if you hover your mouse over the icons on the map, it tells you what the icon represents and if there's more than one thing, theyre in a list. :)
Also, feel free to check out my complete beginner guide if you havent already!
@@dottzgaming Thanks. Found what I need in Alinor. Not sure why the game starts you in a city with only some of the crafting stations and no bank.
@@lionelwhiskerknot To be fair, you shouldn't really need the bank when you start a new toon unless you're experienced and making a new one for a new role.
@@kylebeach6799 I mainly needed the bank since I had several alts crafting which was helping to fund my main character. Needed the space to hold items for future research. I don't have anybody to help me and no guild but made it to level 43 in two weeks. I know people can hit 50 in a day but I actually enjoy the quest lines rather than power leveling. Thankfully the players contributing to TH-cam have been a great help as there have been times I've been lost as on how to do things. I just gotta figure out how people one shot critters who are my same level. I seem to have to hack and slash for awhile to kill stuff. I take no damage with my Dragonknight but it can be frustrating when I see someone kill something in 1 second that takes me 10 seconds :)
I think you at the voice you've given out it's really good I know there's the new season coming out still got a lot to catch up had to start a new character in new console so I have a lot to do not done too bad was playing on my friends PS4 so now I've got my own happy days hours of good fun
Great tips, can't wait to try them out. Thanks 👍
Np!
This was an excellent video. 1 question, I’ve always hated crafting in all mmorpgs or any game really. Is it absolutely necessary in this game? I don’t craft at all in world of Warcraft & get by just fine. I’m hoping it’s the same situation here.
Nope! You only need to do alchemy for a certain passive but that can be done in 20 mins and my complete crafting guide explains how (and this one does too! But besides research and alchemy, u don't have to touch the system if u don't want to)
God bless you for all those update pieces of info!!!!
glad you enjoyed!
As a newbie player id love a video on vocab, slang, acronyms and terms that are commonly used by experienced players. Because its like a while other language I dont understand...
I have an acronym guide on my website!
Thank you as always! You rock man!
Glad you enjoyed!!
i just went to your website and its really well put together, im new to ESO so thanks alot for that.
No problem!!
I just brought the base game as I want to get into it. When should Install the other expansions like Summerset and morrowind etc???
up to you! you can take on eso totally at your own pace
I did not know about the bookshelves! right after that section i read a book from th e bookshelf and leveled up! lol
Oh man im almost lvl 40 now and i selled all of the gearpieces i found... didnt know that crafting is that important lul
XD RIP
Keep doing what you are doing dotzz, really great content.
thank you :)
Subbed great video don’t stop making them
Dottz thank you for this. I am a complete newb, started 5 days ago and it really helps me.
But I have a question.
Is it possible to level up all the crafting skills of all crafts while still leveling up fighting skills and having both fighting and crafting skills on one character?
Glad you enjoyed!
and yes!
Dottz Gaming As in there are enough skill points including sky shards to unlock both crafting and fighting skills?
@@PK-uj8mp I'm new, but I think u can
There is enough skillshards for a character build + a crafting tree, and some other minor things. There isnt enough to have everything unlocked however
@@PK-uj8mp yes, but you will need to be very precise. If you got every skyshard, all quest possible skill points, and all your pvp rank skill points you should have enough for all the crafting trades, your full racial, the couple types of armor (if you don't follow end game builds and stick with 1 armor type you'll have even more extra) and you should also have enough to max your 2 weapon skills. You may be able to max at least one class skill line, but there's really no reason to, you should only need some of the passives and abilities from a couple of them by end game.
TL;DR if you don't spend your skill points on excess stuff, then yes you can. But getting enough to do so will take some time, so i'd recommend maybe looking up skyshard spots for a region when you're planning to stay in that region questing for awhile.
@DottzGaming is it better to do the main quest first before doing the faction questline in your opinion?
Doesn't matter
Just cancelled my WoW sub. Bought ESO and downloading it. Should I get eso+ right away.?
If you can afford it it's def worth it
@@dottzgaming
Thanks.
Glad you're back!
Thanks :)
This is really a game you need to do research to not get behind or regret not doing something. Wish I did before.
Regarding crafting researching, as a newbie, do your researching for the gear you are or plan to actually use, first, then research all the other stuff.
Jerome Dechant how do you know what gear you want? /: I’m a new player. Chose Templar
I really REALLY wish I had known about the research times when I first started playing. I had already been playing for over a year before I realized that I wanted to be able to craft and improve end game gear. It's going to be another year at this rate before I can make the good stuff.
Well at least you know now and can get started!
@@dottzgaming oh no, I've been started, I've been researching for months now already. I wish I had the time to make millions or deep pockets IRL to scam crowns for gold. Then I could pay someone to craft gear for me. I got news for ya, gold is still hard to come by when you don't have all day every day to play this game. If I wanted a useless money grind I'd go back to GTA. It's just frustrating to know how much time stretches out in front of me before endagme level performance becomes accessable.
I'm not sure if this is a valid tip, but: is it a good idea to mail items to your alt while adventuring? (e.g. if your inventory is full, while your in a dungeon)
no need to mail, simply use the bank! (account wide banking, not char specific)
Finally I found a video where the guy doesn't says obvious things.. thx man
np!
Tip 102 find a nice person to craft you training armour
Turn on auto loot from the settings is good too
I started playing ESO today, coming from WoW... hoping to find a new home T_T
Enjoy :)
Literally just started ESO this past week. I also needed a new WoW experience for console. I've been away from that even since Siege of Org..
Wait does that little griffin follow you around?! That’s awesome!
Alright, time to buy ESO finally. Thanks for Tips dude and the Website is dope;D EZ Sub
Glad you enjoyed!
Do the dungeons have to be random or can you choose and still get xp boost?
Hey dottz, made a stamblade (started one) cause I got bored of my dragon knight. Is there any way I can transfer gear between characters? Also are some things between characters always unlocked like wayshrines? Thx
yes! you can use your bank :)
and dyes, CP, houses, costumes and other collectibles are account wide. other stuff is char specific
How long do random dungeons take to complete (for the most part), 30 mins?, 1 hour?, 2 hours?)
Depends on the dungeon
Dottz Gaming ahh! Ok. Yeah was wondering about this before I bought the game. I already decided to pull the trigger last night! Haven’t done much yet. Been going through allot of your posts though! Thanks for all the info!!!
Np!
Not a nitpick but an actual question. I looked everywhere. I checked almost every Inn in every town I went by but could not find the Undaunted stuff. I even watched a couple people do the quest on TH-cam and tried to copy what they did to no avail. I later found it at an outside bar with a bunch of rough characters at a corner table and joined the Undaunted. It was a real pain and I don't know why. I am a wood elf if that means something. I didn't mean to ramble I'm just asking if that has changed recently or something.
You have to go to the inn in vulkhel guard; your factions starting town :)
I just bought ESO (sale on steam) and found your guide (nice guides, btw).
I was wondering if having ESO Plus is a must have while playing? Will it also deter poor newbies like me from enjoying the game?
SirArchie91 its not necessary at all. The only way it could be arguably necessary would be if you were a master crafter with like 200+ materials. But ive been playing 3 yrs with a master crafter and dont need it 😊
I see. Thank you very much!
SirArchie91 no problem! If you have any other questions feel free to @ me. :-)
Levi got it covered.
Glad you enjoyed the videos!
Dottz Gaming hahah i love helping people with ESO related stuff! And yes great video 👍🏼
Hey, great video!
How do you set up your interface?
Check out my addons guide on my channel!
3:58 I literally did that. I have read almost every book at this point.
