New to ESO! Not new to watching game reviews, tutorials, and content. I have to say you are by far the best! Your voice isn't obnoxious, over dramatic, monotone, and annoying like majority of videos. Your pace is amazing! Your humor is hilarious. Your editing is great! You should seriously review more content. Subscribed. Learned so much and enjoyed learning it
His presentation is absolutely pro level! His Narration is interesting, dynamic and engaging. His passion for the game comes through and it's infectious! Just an awesome channel and he deserves a million subs! 👍
Been playing ESO just a couple weeks now, and I constantly find myself coming back to your guide videos. Thanks so much for the fantastic beginner content, I'd be lost without it!
One of the best beginner friendly videos ever. Back when I started I looked for a video just like this and there were none so I had to watch a bunch of different videos to piece it all together, and some stuff I didn't find any videos explaining those things so I had to trial and error them. You've done the beginner's community a great turn by posting this. GJ.
I have played ESO on and off for 2 years now, put in a couple of hundred hours, equipped quite a few alts... and never knew you can craft via collections window. Shows, it never hurts to watch beginner videos even if you think yourself over THAT stage ;)
What a terrific video - it's not only informative in the details, but you also give a good indication of the way things are organized, for later exploration. Wish I'd found this years ago, when I was just starting to play! Well done.
@@LuckyGhost ist it realy best in slot for every class? cause i was seriously thinking about deleting all my chars except ma main and switch all to khajit cause i wanna have/play every class ingame so would be easy with khajit to switch from stam to mag builds if i want cause i only have 10 character slots right now.
@@saschaberger7201 Not for every class, but they don't suck for any class. TBPH, Critical Damage is hard to get, because it's pretty OP. So, in answer to your question, that makes them the Easiest choice for every class. You can build stronger with other Race/Class combinations, but you have to know the game mechanics inside and out. For new players, who need guides, yes. The short answer is go with Khajiit.
ive been binge watching your stuff cause i downloaded the game just now and i have absolute zero knowledge on ESO. so thank you, your vids are very helpful :)
Just went for a wood elf stamina nightblade focused on stealth and assassination. Even ended up becoming a low stage vampire. Might not be meta but it's super fun.
I ended up going as a high elf vampire Magicka nightblade tank focused on heals (self heals, and the heal that hurts me) and a variety of zone/dot damage. It ended up being surprisingly effective. Super fun to solo world bosses and public dungeons, and yet flawlessly be the best kind of support to anybody I happen across. So not meta, but a lot of fun
I was just about to say WHY is ZOS so racist against Bosmer? My GF and I made Bosmer stamblades about a year ago. Luckily Nightblades have gotten a small bit of a buff over the past 4-6 months but still falling far behind Necro, warden, templar, Sorc and DK. And why are Bosmer not even worth mentioning? We don't want lycanthropy or vampirism. Like. Seriously our DPS is between 6-12k, like... My Altmer magplar healer/DPS hybrid has that and MOST of her skills are heals, buffs or debuffs and not even remotely an optimized build.
That's what games and ESO is all about - fun. Play whatever you want and fits yours RP perspective for your character. Don't listen to people saying uuh take specific race for this passive because it doesn't matter in pvp or pve only in theory. - 15 years WoW veteran playing both pve and pvp recently imported to ESO
Lucky, only just found your videos as I've decided to jump in ESO properly as I step away from WoW. Just wanted to say your videos are so clear, with neat annotations and edits and they make an overwhelming prospect seem exciting. Thank you!
Just started ESO two weeks ago with my brother and a couple friends. I did the open beta back in 2014, but only for a couple months and not very seriously. Jumping (back) in has been lots of fun, and I can only imagine how much time you've spent to become such an expert (and research all the traits on any thing!). Great guide, thanks for sharing!
I just bought ESO yesterday. Never played an MMO before. Been watching a load of your videos to get up to speed on what I'm doing. Good job presenting a ton of information clearly and I love your enthusiasm.
I would like a Tips for new Players that expresses "try to hold off ALL quests and questing till CP160 for farming the names special quest items that drop. Instead do dolmens, dungeons, delves, public dungeons, world bosses, harrowstorms, etc and skyshards in zones for skillpoints. Decon almost ALL gear for set completion, etc. Do random daily ding w ons and battlegrounds every day with XP scrolls for massive XP gains. How to level and unlock skilllines the quickest for best options at versatility and respeccing for new metas. Have someone craft you some level 10 and 20 training gear, level 36 gear that more combat oriented with traits such as reinforced, divines, impenetrable, infused etc, blue lvl 36 gear with good enchants will make you competent in dungeons, competitive. In battlegrounds and carry you to lvl 50, get more gear around CP 10 or 20 and that should last you till 160. For mag DPS deadric trickery+ Spell Parasite is almost broken for a mag DPS, a tank with say Willows Path and Song of Llamia or Orgnum scales is almost broke as well and for a Stan DPS hundings rage plus night mothers gaze doesn't have the sustain but has excellent dmg. Etc.
Thank you for all these tips. I'm still very new to the game, spending time toying with different characters (although I'm intending to finally start "serious" character) and all these tips are invaluable. I'm sending a link to my friend who also plans to start ESO in (not so) distatnt future, this might help him as well to get the most fun of the game
Coming back to give ESO an honest try after it nearly bored me to death a year or so ago, gonna come in with a fresh mindset and your videos are still teaching me things I never knew! Here's to second chances 🎉
Cool video, bro! Keep it up! Love ur videos! But.....here I am, still waiting for that werewolf build video. But no worries. I ll be there when it finally comes out.
I play a Nord Templar Stamina DD and I am more than happy with it! Sure I am not having the racials of an Orc or Redguard which are BiS but I get: - Max Stamina, which is nice - Extra resistances and health, allowing me to stay longer in combat - Frost resistance, which in PvP is a cool thing fighting wardens and some magicka based characters - Passive ultimate generation when being attacked, combined with Crescent Sweep it is a pretty powerful combo, this ultimate pops upr eally quick ( I am using dawnbraker atm tho ) And the most important, Nords are my favorite race. I discovered ESO a long time ago with Skyrim. When I got deeper into the lore I also discovered I liked Dark Elves. In fact I played TES Arena with one. But Nords are just my favorites. I like to think we are similar. I have a long black beard, long hair, and I love cold temperatures. It is silly but I like it hahaha
You’re a fantastic teacher! I’ve mostly been a solo quester on ESO this last year, but am just getting into group content. I’ve hated group gaming bc of jerk dudes that are just rude to anyone that can’t keep up, but we all start not knowing how to play. Appreciate your kind nature and easy to understand videos! Just subscribed. 👌🏼
I know the feeling I picked it up in elsewyr and had a bad experience with a bunch of super rude toxic aggressive dudes and now picked it up again in blackwood joined one guild for now and it's just been synergy central his vids are amazing!
@@Odin_Valkyris LOL synergy central. So glad you've found a great guild! I still feel like I have no idea what anyone is talking about in mine. 😂 But we're getting there!
@@stephwittek are you on PC or console? I had someone explain the sticker book thing and how it updated awhile back and I was like "ok sorry how is it I'm more dumb than what I was when I asked?" Lol but yea we all get along just great...they took me as a level 17 through a level 50 dungeon......it was both terrifying and great lol
Your videos have been really helpful since I've been trying to make my way back to the game, and the switch from PC to console. Keep doing what you're doing.
I am so obsessed with the game now! I spent 6 hours only to create the style of my character, and then I found the combination i searched for my whole life. No other game let´s you customize your character as much as ESO does, both, in style AND playstyle. What the hell is going on, you can create a bulky or a thin appearence, add a personality that changes frickin´gestures. On top of that you can build your own motif and dye it as you wish, and ON TOP OF THAT you can morph skills, try out certain combinations and there is so plenty of them, that really no one has the same playstyle as you!!!! (okay, maybe in the group content you are limited to some paths, because people go for effeciency a lot in every MMO) but then there´s the thing - even the "meta" is currently shifting and you don´t have to play group content if you don´t want to - you CAN go for it, or you focus on soloing and questing, roleplaying, PVE, PVP, Dungeons, Trials, what the hell man. I never thought I any game could suprise me more than dark souls, but ESO did! Of course, completley different genres, high vs dark fanatsy, but every game does a really great job in their ways. Why did I wait until 2021 to start playing this game??? Man, it is so magical! So mythic! So fucking awesome ! ! ! :)
One of my characters is an Imperial Magicka Sorc DD. He's doing great! Better than I expected, even though the High Elf and Breton are better. Any race can do any class or role, just some have more bonuses than others. Imperials can do it all!
I feel like I’m listening to one of the developers talking about the game with the way you explain everything. This is by far the nest guide to ESO I’ve seen and I’ve been playing since launch. Great job!
I'm about to start playing this game with my older brother so I'm glad you have great guides. I don't know anything about this game or the classes/characters. I will be checking out all of your beginner videos and I sent him your channel as well.
Man you should make a video on how to be a better person, i believe you could explain it in a way never before heard. awesome video tho bethesda should use this
So, found your channel and vids, someone recommended them on the ESO discord, and I must say, its refreshing to find someone who isn't all about "The best evar", but more about play how you want and have fun. While giving your tips and tricks, you always emphasize , its about you having fun. I am just starting the game, as in REALLY just staring, rolled a char yesterday. The dual bar thing is VERY intimidating to me, because of an injury that makes reactions sometimes slower than they should be, so I will probably focus more on exploration and solo content, know "good" (its all relative right ?) one bar builds ? I really wanna do the whole Kajiit/sneakthief/crafter thing, and I suppose with the new companions, it will be a bit "easier" ?. Thanks again for the quality tutorials.
nice! enjoy the game, one bar builds are a fine way to introduce yourself to the game. pick up a second bar when you feel ready. before you know it you wont even be thinking twice about bar swapping. at first though it feels like all thumbs
A little late but for levelling, I like to optimise my front bar to make content as fast an easy as possible. Then I put back bar wep abilities and lesser used skill line abilities on the back bar, and switch to it mostly when I turn in quests and do other non-combat XP gains.
Oh, grandmaster of Eso, your knowledge and expertise are a blessing that is bestowed upon us, who humbly approach this game with great expectations and enthusiasm but absolutely no clue, by god himself. I pay my respects to and salute you.
Don't sub much, subbed to you as im geting into ESO, and the info you provide is valuable. Appreciate you relaying it in a way someone who's never touched an MMO can understand.
Thanks for the video! I've created so many new characters recently so I'm getting good at speeding through haha. But just made an Orc and from your stream the other day, yep I need to wear a helmet!
Fantastic guide. Watched all of it. I'm semi new to ESO and watching this makes me feel so prepared to start my new char! Just still not sure what class or race to play haha
I do like the way you approached and discussed this topic. I'm 7 character and close to 1,000+ hours and I still worry about making a hunk of unsalvageable garbage.... But all the garbage builds I've already made can do the Vet Dungeons and Normal Trials I'm interested in playing. Part of the fun is trying new combinations Where I struggle, and what I like to push is finding that build which solo's the Vet dungeon.
trying to go for 2 handed dps whenever I join group content (just exploring solo atm as im new). started with a nord templar as it seemed to be the most appropriate because of the 2 handed buff and templar looked like a 2 handed beast. at least happy to know its not 100% required to be a specific race or role to function. no clue where to realy start if i want to do MP content but hey part of the advanture is finding things out I guese.
I use to play this game alot last year and just fell off from the grind and now im picking it back up having to re learn it all but this definitely helped bro
and its super complicated lol i just started im lvl 19 and i have genuinely no idea where to go i just follow the main story quest marker lol. its way too big and super complicated when ur new
@@HalfAryanHunterGatherer Some Explenation: Atm you start in "West-Skyrim". There is a woman coming out of a portal, when you enter a city at first, telling you her master wants to talk to you. This Quest is the FIRST of ALL! (Vanilla ESO started right in Coldharbour) Then the whole main story starts (Following the Prophet) where you also have to do your "Alliance-Story". After finishing all "Prophet"-Quests AND "Alliance-Story" you will take the fight to Coldharbour, to get your soul back. After you fight the end boss you will get the opportunity to play one of the other two alliance-stories and after that the last alliance-story (Questname: Cadwells Silver / Gold). It depends on your "starting alliance" which one is next (Aldmeri Dominion > Ebonheart Pact > Daggerfall Covenant > Aldmeri Dominion ). It's a clear "CAN", you don't have to do it! In correct order the next steps would be: 1.Vvardenfell / Morrowind 2. Summerset 3.Elsweyer (North then South) 4. Greymoore / West-Skyrim (Solitude) then Markarth 5. Blackwood (starting June 2021) There are also "Prologue Quests to" some of the Expansions too, accessable via crown store (they are free). Like inbetween them there are the DLC's like Orsinium, Clockwork City, Thief's Guild, Dark Brotherhood and other that brought new "Standalone-Areas" to the game. My advice: Take your time! Rushing through such a big game kills the fun! The content will not run away from you! ;)
@@Hasselroeder wtf??? i didnt get the alliance part at all lol but yeah im relatively ok now i got to cp160 and i kinda know where im going but ill just progress a bit more into all the quests and see for myself 👍 thanks
@@HalfAryanHunterGatherer You are guided through the "Alliance-Questline" after escaping coldharbour. Didn't want to confuse you!^^ If you have fun, then everything is ok! The "Original Main Story", which starts in Coldharbour is just recommended because you get XP and and the skill to revive yourself without using a soulstone within one hour. Anyway, I wish you a lot of fun! :D
At last! Thank you, thank you for this video!! I've been looking for someone who could help me "dip my toe in" and not drown in info! The game does that enough on its own. :) Overall made me realize its perfectly ok if I need a do over.
Even Bow, and Staff DDs tend to stay in the AoE. Basically, the way that groups coop content is to gather everyone into the pool. That way the DDs can hit everyone (Ideally) and most crucially, the Healer can hit everyone. That includes you. You don't want to stand in the red, but if you wander off for too long, the Healer can't help you. You'll also miss out on very nice group Buffs like Aggressive Warhorn if you don't stay with the group. So, it's not so much that Ranged DPS stays in the melee, you don't. However, the Tank's job is to keep the Melee around him. So, if you want the Tank's buffs, you don't want to be too far from him, and the Healer is going to stay close enough to catch the Tank in Healing Springs. You can move around, don't stand on red, but don't forget who you're playing with, and where most of your buffs are coming from. You'll Deal more Damage (Or DPS) that way.
Gonna listen to this later when I'm off work, it's been a few years since I played and I never got far, looking at playing an ork arcanist when the class comes out in June but idk what weapons I wanna use or anything
Get a name generator app, I did when I 1st got the game. If it's not kicking you for sitting there too long, I use to get; "Name already taken..." Constantly.
I think I might have to start a new character cuz my current one is a Khajiit Nightblade that's built for stamina because I like sprinting around the map
People do stress about race and class way too much. With class, I find the thing that varies the most is how much I like playing that class - not their ability. For example: I find Nightblades to be a ton of fun. It does not matter if they are tanks, healers, damage dealers - I just like the skills more. I also like Templars. On the other hand, I find that I really do not like Dragonknights and Wardens. They seem more boring to me and I generally like playing them far less. This has nothing to do with how good they are at the role, it is solely based on how interesting I find them to play. For race, I just go with something that I want to pair with the class. I like playing against type so that my character looks different. There are millions of high elf magicka sorcerers and they all look exactly the same. So I pick a redguard sorcerer. Hardly anyone plays that because the redguard does not provide any additional magic damage. It's slightly weaker than a high elf but it really doesn't matter. Also note that you can change race (for a fee) but you cannot change class. You can also easily switch from magicka to stamina, so if you regret not picking the best race for magicka, you may find your race is good for stamina instead. Some people may say that if you make bad (not optimum) choices you will regret it later. Maybe, but you may also regret it if you do not like the class or if you hate being identical to other people around you. Some people may say that certain player guilds will not want you because you are not optimum. That is true, but maybe you don't want to be in those guilds - there are plenty of others.
Lucky Ghost, I love your guides and they really help me a lot! I had one question about the armor you are wearing in this video, is it something I can use on the outfit station? If so, what is the set called? I have a Nord Templar that I want to look almost exactly like your toon in this video. Thanks for the guides and keep up the amazing work!
I am loving your videos bud. I have been watching them for tips and tricks while playing. I do however disagree with everyone when it comes to throwing all your attribute points into, let’s say, stamina. I think a balanced character is better. Just my opinion though. Thanks for the content 🌹
What addon are you using for the ui? It looks way better! Also, great vid! Always tried getting into ESO since launch better never made it past lvl 20, but I'm feeling it this time!
Did he say anything about "Research"-tactic? I feel like I dont even wanna start a new character since I am so far behind and it will take months, maybe even years to research stuff to craft good gear
I'm a bit grindy as a player but by the time my character was lvl ten I could craft items beyond my ability to use. it's not as slow a process as it sounds if you stay ontop of it for a few days
@@billdagrasshawking I think you misunderstood. Leveling the profession is easy. RESEARCHING traits on the other hand is a process you can't complete that fast. Unless you spend a lot of money and buy instant researches on the crown shop
@@I3LaCkPeArL I honestly havnt found it that bad, I am a bit fanatical about keeping the research que full at all times. I'm guess progress will slow as the items required become more specific. In the early game it's been rare for me not to have an item to research
I'm going to experiment with some unusual skill/weapon/armor combos. I'll probably be below average a lot of the time, but who knows, maybe I'll find something good.
I always gravitate towards stam builds..just wish stam had a tad bit better sustain for solo play. I mainly use a 2nd necro and it was a pain learning how to manage my stam.
I suck so bad at playing this game that I could spend a lifetime trying to improve my different characters. It is actually quite fun because for someone as bad as me this game has endless possibilities. It is never boring.
Listening to this, and seeing all the guides, hearing all the info about ESO, just puts me into a analysis paralysis state. I want to play this game but I have no idea where to start, even after watching guides that say "YOU DO YOU" or "Don't worry!" Yea... still worried.
you will end up with multiple characters, and you can easily respec any decisions you dont love down the line. no reason to be paralyzed just pick the one that grabs you the most right now and have fun! its just a game!
Been playing since 2013/14 beta and still learning, the game is forever changing. Once you've mastered one thing the next expansion is out and you start the process over again

@@LuckyGhost ist it realy best in slot for every class? cause i was seriously thinking about deleting all my chars except ma main and switch all to khajit cause i wanna have/play every class ingame so would be easy with khajit to switch from stam to mag builds if i want cause i only have 10 character slots right now.

@@stephwittek are you on PC or console? I had someone explain the sticker book thing and how it updated awhile back and I was like "ok sorry how is it I'm more dumb than what I was when I asked?" Lol but yea we all get along just great...they took me as a level 17 through a level 50 dungeon......it was both terrifying and great lol
Alliance war assault passive increases mount speed by 30%, by far a must have passive if you wanna get around quickly
Yep just need to do one random daily bground and you got it
I did that and didnt get the increase. Do I have to acquire it somewhere afterwards?
@@amiwho3464 u add a skill point to one of the passives and the secondary effect is major gallop
@@thesprinkler7893 Thank you so much!
This is by far the nicest and best guide. So specific and enjoyable.
I just started ESO a week ago and your videos are great!
Btw, you're character looks pretty cool too ;)
Your videos have been really helpful since I've been trying to make my way back to the game, and the switch from PC to console. Keep doing what you're doing.
Why thank you. My character does look good today 😁 Necromancers are killing it (and then reanimating it 😂) at the moment. Excellent video
I am so obsessed with the game now! I spent 6 hours only to create the style of my character, and then I found the combination i searched for my whole life. No other game let´s you customize your character as much as ESO does, both, in style AND playstyle. What the hell is going on, you can create a bulky or a thin appearence, add a personality that changes frickin´gestures. On top of that you can build your own motif and dye it as you wish, and ON TOP OF THAT you can morph skills, try out certain combinations and there is so plenty of them, that really no one has the same playstyle as you!!!! (okay, maybe in the group content you are limited to some paths, because people go for effeciency a lot in every MMO) but then there´s the thing - even the "meta" is currently shifting and you don´t have to play group content if you don´t want to - you CAN go for it, or you focus on soloing and questing, roleplaying, PVE, PVP, Dungeons, Trials, what the hell man. I never thought I any game could suprise me more than dark souls, but ESO did! Of course, completley different genres, high vs dark fanatsy, but every game does a really great job in their ways. Why did I wait until 2021 to start playing this game??? Man, it is so magical! So mythic! So fucking awesome ! ! ! :)
heck ya! glad you are enjoying it!
One of my characters is an Imperial Magicka Sorc DD. He's doing great! Better than I expected, even though the High Elf and Breton are better. Any race can do any class or role, just some have more bonuses than others. Imperials can do it all!
I feel like I’m listening to one of the developers talking about the game with the way you explain everything. This is by far the nest guide to ESO I’ve seen and I’ve been playing since launch. Great job!
wow man, thank you so much
Good editing, speaking and explanation. You sir more than earned my like.
Thanks you! Glad you enjoyed!
I'm about to start playing this game with my older brother so I'm glad you have great guides. I don't know anything about this game or the classes/characters. I will be checking out all of your beginner videos and I sent him your channel as well.
I like this kid right here. He has alot of potential. Keep up the good work young man. You gonna go far in life. We'll be watching you. 😉
Man you should make a video on how to be a better person, i believe you could explain it in a way never before heard.
awesome video tho bethesda should use this
So, found your channel and vids, someone recommended them on the ESO discord, and I must say, its refreshing to find someone who isn't all about "The best evar", but more about play how you want and have fun. While giving your tips and tricks, you always emphasize , its about you having fun. I am just starting the game, as in REALLY just staring, rolled a char yesterday. The dual bar thing is VERY intimidating to me, because of an injury that makes reactions sometimes slower than they should be, so I will probably focus more on exploration and solo content, know "good" (its all relative right ?) one bar builds ? I really wanna do the whole Kajiit/sneakthief/crafter thing, and I suppose with the new companions, it will be a bit "easier" ?. Thanks again for the quality tutorials.
nice! enjoy the game, one bar builds are a fine way to introduce yourself to the game. pick up a second bar when you feel ready. before you know it you wont even be thinking twice about bar swapping. at first though it feels like all thumbs
A little late but for levelling, I like to optimise my front bar to make content as fast an easy as possible.
Then I put back bar wep abilities and lesser used skill line abilities on the back bar, and switch to it mostly when I turn in quests and do other non-combat XP gains.
Just got the game and Necromancer. Very helpful video!!
Thank you! I'm an oldtimer in ESO, and I learned stuff.. Great video and awesome easy to understand explanations!
Great video Lucky! You always explain everything so well and I’m sure new players appreciate it! 😊❤️
thanks crunchy!
this helped so much! i was wondering why some skills were leveling and some weren't
Oh, grandmaster of Eso, your knowledge and expertise are a blessing that is bestowed upon us, who humbly approach this game with great expectations and enthusiasm but absolutely no clue, by god himself. I pay my respects to and salute you.
lol thanks man! I hope you have a great time!
This is the best guide! Thanks so much! Im a new player and this has helped me tremendously
Happy I chose the right race and class on my first playthrough:)
I'm happy I found your extremely helpful channel. Thank you for your videos! You make a new player feel at home
heck ya! love hearing this :D
Don't sub much, subbed to you as im geting into ESO, and the info you provide is valuable. Appreciate you relaying it in a way someone who's never touched an MMO can understand.
heck ya!
Thanks for the video! I've created so many new characters recently so I'm getting good at speeding through haha. But just made an Orc and from your stream the other day, yep I need to wear a helmet!
LOL nice!
@@LuckyGhost whats that helmet in the vid? Don't think ive come across that one yet
@@ramdrop5209 hollowjack :)
Fantastic guide. Watched all of it. I'm semi new to ESO and watching this makes me feel so prepared to start my new char!
Just still not sure what class or race to play haha
Love love love this guide! You are good at this! Thanks for putting this out there. :)
I'm cp200 and this was still so informative! Thank you :))
"Does race even matter?" - me IRL
This is alot of information, nice and helpful video! Glad I've come by it. Keep those videos up! :3
I’ve just started ESO and this has been super helpful! Thanks man!
I do like the way you approached and discussed this topic.
I'm 7 character and close to 1,000+ hours and I still worry about making a hunk of unsalvageable garbage....
But all the garbage builds I've already made can do the Vet Dungeons and Normal Trials I'm interested in playing. Part of the fun is trying new combinations
Where I struggle, and what I like to push is finding that build which solo's the Vet dungeon.
Any of my solo builds will do that :)
you're doing a great job on your guides! thanks, this is really helpful
Glad you like them!
trying to go for 2 handed dps whenever I join group content (just exploring solo atm as im new). started with a nord templar as it seemed to be the most appropriate because of the 2 handed buff and templar looked like a 2 handed beast. at least happy to know its not 100% required to be a specific race or role to function. no clue where to realy start if i want to do MP content but hey part of the advanture is finding things out I guese.
I use to play this game alot last year and just fell off from the grind and now im picking it back up having to re learn it all but this definitely helped bro
Thx for the guide. Now i know that i have been missing out on so many things.
Great video, saw your stream for the first time today! This video was super helpful. Subbed
about 14 minutes in and u opened a map. yeah, i'm gonna be busy with this game for. a. while.
and its super complicated lol i just started im lvl 19 and i have genuinely no idea where to go i just follow the main story quest marker lol. its way too big and super complicated when ur new
Just wait til we got another zone added (new xpac coming out) 😭😅
@@HalfAryanHunterGatherer Some Explenation:
Atm you start in "West-Skyrim". There is a woman coming out of a portal, when you enter a city at first, telling you her master wants to talk to you. This Quest is the FIRST of ALL! (Vanilla ESO started right in Coldharbour) Then the whole main story starts (Following the Prophet) where you also have to do your "Alliance-Story". After finishing all "Prophet"-Quests AND "Alliance-Story" you will take the fight to Coldharbour, to get your soul back. After you fight the end boss you will get the opportunity to play one of the other two alliance-stories and after that the last alliance-story (Questname: Cadwells Silver / Gold). It depends on your "starting alliance" which one is next (Aldmeri Dominion > Ebonheart Pact > Daggerfall Covenant > Aldmeri Dominion ). It's a clear "CAN", you don't have to do it! In correct order the next steps would be:
1.Vvardenfell / Morrowind
2. Summerset
3.Elsweyer (North then South)
4. Greymoore / West-Skyrim (Solitude) then Markarth
5. Blackwood (starting June 2021)
There are also "Prologue Quests to" some of the Expansions too, accessable via crown store (they are free).
Like inbetween them there are the DLC's like Orsinium, Clockwork City, Thief's Guild, Dark Brotherhood and other that brought new "Standalone-Areas" to the game.
My advice: Take your time! Rushing through such a big game kills the fun! The content will not run away from you! ;)
@@Hasselroeder wtf??? i didnt get the alliance part at all lol but yeah im relatively ok now i got to cp160 and i kinda know where im going but ill just progress a bit more into all the quests and see for myself 👍 thanks
@@HalfAryanHunterGatherer You are guided through the "Alliance-Questline" after escaping coldharbour. Didn't want to confuse you!^^ If you have fun, then everything is ok! The "Original Main Story", which starts in Coldharbour is just recommended because you get XP and and the skill to revive yourself without using a soulstone within one hour. Anyway, I wish you a lot of fun! :D
At last! Thank you, thank you for this video!! I've been looking for someone who could help me "dip my toe in" and not drown in info! The game does that enough on its own. :) Overall made me realize its perfectly ok if I need a do over.
Even Bow, and Staff DDs tend to stay in the AoE. Basically, the way that groups coop content is to gather everyone into the pool. That way the DDs can hit everyone (Ideally) and most crucially, the Healer can hit everyone. That includes you. You don't want to stand in the red, but if you wander off for too long, the Healer can't help you. You'll also miss out on very nice group Buffs like Aggressive Warhorn if you don't stay with the group. So, it's not so much that Ranged DPS stays in the melee, you don't. However, the Tank's job is to keep the Melee around him. So, if you want the Tank's buffs, you don't want to be too far from him, and the Healer is going to stay close enough to catch the Tank in Healing Springs. You can move around, don't stand on red, but don't forget who you're playing with, and where most of your buffs are coming from. You'll Deal more Damage (Or DPS) that way.
I just started playing this week and your guide definitely helped me thanks
Thanks for your hardwork! Keep it going please!
32:19 Another way is to switch to your back bar b4 you hand in the quests.
true! i can never remember to do that though lol
This was an insane amount of information. Thank you!
Gonna listen to this later when I'm off work, it's been a few years since I played and I never got far, looking at playing an ork arcanist when the class comes out in June but idk what weapons I wanna use or anything
Markers for my clueless noob self: 13:40 15:20 17:55 26:22 33:07 34:53 38:07
Just started thanks for the video,
Well done.
First minute answered my questions, good job!
Found this game about a month ago and there's still so much to do
Creating a wonderful character, and then watching them disappear when you're second guessing on a name 😂😂😂
Get a name generator app, I did when I 1st got the game.
If it's not kicking you for sitting there too long, I use to get;
"Name already taken..."
Constantly.
This literally happened to me last night and I couldn’t quite recreate my character exactly the same as the original iteration lol 😩
Khajit Stamden is my first character 😄
And yes your costume looks really incredible!!
I think I might have to start a new character cuz my current one is a Khajiit Nightblade that's built for stamina because I like sprinting around the map
People do stress about race and class way too much. With class, I find the thing that varies the most is how much I like playing that class - not their ability. For example: I find Nightblades to be a ton of fun. It does not matter if they are tanks, healers, damage dealers - I just like the skills more. I also like Templars. On the other hand, I find that I really do not like Dragonknights and Wardens. They seem more boring to me and I generally like playing them far less. This has nothing to do with how good they are at the role, it is solely based on how interesting I find them to play. For race, I just go with something that I want to pair with the class. I like playing against type so that my character looks different. There are millions of high elf magicka sorcerers and they all look exactly the same. So I pick a redguard sorcerer. Hardly anyone plays that because the redguard does not provide any additional magic damage. It's slightly weaker than a high elf but it really doesn't matter. Also note that you can change race (for a fee) but you cannot change class. You can also easily switch from magicka to stamina, so if you regret not picking the best race for magicka, you may find your race is good for stamina instead.
Some people may say that if you make bad (not optimum) choices you will regret it later. Maybe, but you may also regret it if you do not like the class or if you hate being identical to other people around you. Some people may say that certain player guilds will not want you because you are not optimum. That is true, but maybe you don't want to be in those guilds - there are plenty of others.
5:00
I noticed you don't mention Khajiit at all. Are Khajiit just not good or something?
Finally a GOOD video to help newbies
I race swapped my templar (with one of the free swaps from years ago) to dark elf, because it's a great race for swapping between stam and mag.
Your character looks awesome , emote thumbs up. I felt that 🥺
Lucky Ghost, I love your guides and they really help me a lot! I had one question about the armor you are wearing in this video, is it something I can use on the outfit station? If so, what is the set called? I have a Nord Templar that I want to look almost exactly like your toon in this video. Thanks for the guides and keep up the amazing work!
yeah thats the welkynar chest motif and the hollowjack mask :)
@@LuckyGhost Thank you, good sir!
That character you keep showing with the wings looks awesome. I want mine to look like that lol
thank you!
@@LuckyGhost is it a specific armor piece or a polymorph?
@@DoomGaming97 welkynar chest motif mostly doin the work!
great vid man love the content!! keep it up
I started 2 days ago, Darkelf Nightblade. Having a fuck ton of fun.
I am loving your videos bud. I have been watching them for tips and tricks while playing. I do however disagree with everyone when it comes to throwing all your attribute points into, let’s say, stamina. I think a balanced character is better. Just my opinion though. Thanks for the content 🌹
What addon are you using for the ui? It looks way better! Also, great vid! Always tried getting into ESO since launch better never made it past lvl 20, but I'm feeling it this time!
Did he say anything about "Research"-tactic? I feel like I dont even wanna start a new character since I am so far behind and it will take months, maybe even years to research stuff to craft good gear
I'm a bit grindy as a player but by the time my character was lvl ten I could craft items beyond my ability to use.
it's not as slow a process as it sounds if you stay ontop of it for a few days
@@billdagrasshawking I think you misunderstood. Leveling the profession is easy. RESEARCHING traits on the other hand is a process you can't complete that fast. Unless you spend a lot of money and buy instant researches on the crown shop
@@I3LaCkPeArL I honestly havnt found it that bad, I am a bit fanatical about keeping the research que full at all times.
I'm guess progress will slow as the items required become more specific. In the early game it's been rare for me not to have an item to research
I'm going to experiment with some unusual skill/weapon/armor combos. I'll probably be below average a lot of the time, but who knows, maybe I'll find something good.
This much faster advice
How to build your character for success:
Step 1- hatch argonian
Done
I always gravitate towards stam builds..just wish stam had a tad bit better sustain for solo play. I mainly use a 2nd necro and it was a pain learning how to manage my stam.
True!
I suck so bad at playing this game that I could spend a lifetime trying to improve my different characters. It is actually quite fun because for someone as bad as me this game has endless possibilities. It is never boring.
Your videos are truly helpful! Thank you!
Glad you like them!
Listening to this, and seeing all the guides, hearing all the info about ESO, just puts me into a analysis paralysis state. I want to play this game but I have no idea where to start, even after watching guides that say "YOU DO YOU" or "Don't worry!" Yea... still worried.
you will end up with multiple characters, and you can easily respec any decisions you dont love down the line. no reason to be paralyzed just pick the one that grabs you the most right now and have fun! its just a game!
Don't dare to even think how much hours is in that game. Still feeling like a newbie. That's why i like that game, so much to do/learn.
Been playing since 2013/14 beta and still learning, the game is forever changing. Once you've mastered one thing the next expansion is out and you start the process over again
Its 2021. I'm cp 240. And this still burned my brain 😂😂 this game is deep
