25 Crucial Beginner Tips for NEW and RETURNING Players in ESO for 2021

[@Adam_Lutz]

What beginner tips would you give someone?

[@elzar5987]

Do not upgrade anything until you have max level gear. my brother tried to upgrade his level 40 sword. He didn't have enough and it ended up breaking

[@jango2700]

hey man how do i get into your guild?

[@bluerosejones6881]

Do not forget to upgrade your mount!

[@ryanelliott6706]

Don’t sell materials to people wanting to buy them in zone chat. Scammers spend all day going to beginner zones buying them for 1/3 or 1/2 price. 10k for some heartwood and corn flower at level 20 sounds nice, but selling them through a guild trader is the best choice.

[@ricktherock]

Good tip: don't play leapfrog with a unicorn

[@TerraFilmTV]

Pro tip: Never pet a burning dog

[@samuelking4723]

This. Doing what you enjoy for 20 minutes a day and stopping will get you SO much further than doing two hours of chores until you burn out in three weeks.

[@JustAnotherAccount8]

36 hours in. the feeling of being overwhelmed has passed (Only lasted like 8-10 hours), still don't know what im doing though. But man am i having fun

Yeah just have fun, go questing, do dungeons, delves, world bosses and perfect your build!

[@Scarylyn14]

XD right like I played one of the BETA tests when they did BETA test weekends on PC and I’m like, “oh beginner tips let’s watch” lmfao

[@aliciabeserra3724]

;been playing since 2015 it’s a great game I’ve started over 6 characters

[@TerraFilmTV]

Level 25 now. Never played it before and I’ve had such a great time just running through the main story quests. I’ll occasionally que up for a dungeon in between :) All of the voice acting as well as the characters have been fun to interact with

[@chocolatecoffee1747]

It would be greatly appreciated in the future new/returning player video guides if you could provide a timestamps. That way, players can just jump into the section they are interested in.

[@logiberra418]

I really appreciate tip #19. I often struggle to remember that this is a fun game and just taking my time and remembering that everything is a process will help me actually enjoy the world and not quit.

[@Matt_10203]

That's been my issue with a lot of MMOs. Just sticking with it is the hardest part, but once things make sense it's really addictive.

[@AtrusGambit]

So good! A video on "Must do's before level 50" would be great!

[@Adam_Lutz]

Love this!

[@Nervous_771]

Yes I agree. I'm new but I'm trying to get into end game stuff. I'm thinking I'm not in love with my first character so I thought can't I just get it to 50 and let it start maxing enlightenment? Dalies and keys? Ugh so much stuff to learn! Also for new players maybe a guide on how to build for easy swaps from dps/healer and tank/dps sometimes those dungon ques take a while!

[@Dana-cb7vk]

This would be an amazing video!

[@Agumon5]

The best tip for any MMORPG I could give somebody is play what you like. Don't worry about optimization or maxing out a class race combo. if you enjoy looking at your character you're more likely to enjoy the game long-term. Play something that looks good to you, and play the class you want to play.

[@TurtleGamerDish]

I played when morrowind dlc came out. Played till cp500 then didnt play for years now im back and its better than ever.

[@winterhearted6780]

Same!

[@JustAnotherAccount8]

still playing?

[@dariusgreen1734]

Shiiiit, I played till 316 CP and I’m more confused than ever LOL trying to watch this video before I get frustrated and quit again

[@lt_ballzacki8177]

Pro tip on fast travel. Buy the Sugar Bowl Suite house in Elsweyr. You can teleport to your house from anywhere. Use teleport outside option. Pops you about 10ft from a wayshrine. Use wayshrine to go anywhere for free.

[@TotalWeapon26]

This guy is so criminally underrated

[@sonshrimp8938]

Also another tip, if y’all get tired of looking for sky shards and doing quests for skill points. Go do some pvp you get skill points every rank up 😌

[@Adam_Lutz]

Sweet!

[@Filthyanimal9]

But on the flip side, you’re doing PVP 😈

[@Paandaas]

@@Filthyanimal9 PvP fun

[@Tricegames]

I played till level 15 quit recently came back with a necro cause templar wasn't my thing. Your videos helped me grasp a lot and I'm hooked. Feels good to jump into an MMO clueless and just exploring thanks for the tips 🙏

[@benacock1834]

Your vids have really helped me to start playing this game this year, has instantly become my favourite, thats down to you

[@nothing55rk]

[@simonpaton2571]

You can also upgrade mount speed by going to Cyrodil and doing the initial training quests on siege engines and getting the assault - vitality skill for +30 mount speed.

[@xcaliberr05]

I am a returning player. I saw a ad for black wood and thought that looks awesome. I already had ESO but hadn't played in so long I forgot about it. Once I figured out my login I had a lvl 21 character but couldn't remember any of the controls so spent a lot looking at settings and whatnot. Having fun relearning how to play. Your tips help thanks

[@humanarian]

Tip #26: Zooming the map out is done by clicking RMB (on PC, obviously). Seriously, the game isn't telling you that and it took me a while to figure out! Was a rather frustrating experience.

[@expensivemagic4754]

This has really helped me as returning player! Thank you!

[@TrairFrair]

Tips 24 and 25 are completely new to me as I stop playing over a year ago. Makes me very excited to return to my veteran level character and gear up a new character (has not have all the drops be completely worthless). Good job ESO team...

[@bass5445]

This was easily the best beginner tips video i watched. Cheers mate

[@codyhurlbert1763]

Day 14.. I am enjoying it.. listened to this before I started now I am listening again to see if i missed much. I'm Templar heals I do not die trying to learn what the best route is in the champion catalog

[@zenwilds2911]

:0 Really informative. I've been playing the game for a bit now, and I still learned something

[@frostythecaseman]

If you get a passive for an armor set does the passive still apply to your character if you stop wearing that type of armor?

[@pakkobarbas4879]

I just started 3 Months ago and felt so in love with the game that I started uploading some PvP Content :D still have to learn everything but I love it!!

[@XO-zm9de]

Slick

[@nomeat]

What's a good PvP build. I love PvP but not sure what to use. Ive been playing for like 2 weeks. Level 176 Templar.

[@neiska25]

Just started 2-3 weeks ago myself. One thing that is frustrating is as I level up, I feel weaker. I know that's how the system is set up so everything scales, which is nice that you can pretty much go anywhere you like, there isn't any "low level" zones or "high level" zones as far as I can tell. But the downside to that is for new people like myself without 500 champion points or piles of spare gear or mountains of gold, is it can be a struggle. I mean I out level sets before I manage to complete them, unless I want to wear pieces that very from 10-30 for example. Game is fairly fun, but I just wish there were actual pet classes. But it isn't as newbie friendly as people make it out to be. Pretty regularly I get group with people leagues ahead of me, so much more powerful that I might as well be the escort NPC.

[@SparkyTD11]

Thank you so much! I’m getting started today w/ some friends and am going to watch as many of your videos b4 I do 🙏

[@Forher6661]

Just blew my mind with the antiquities eye on the quick slot.

[@dezperado618c8]

Maybe im alone in this, but I dont like level scaling. One of the great motivators to level up is facing mobs that are too hard for your level. If I can beat any trash mob at any level it kind of takes away the motivation to graind for gear that will not change my combat experience

[@kennethoneal1641]

Thank you so much for tip 25. I’ve worked my way to scry/excavation 10 without ever knowing about the antiquarian’s eye being quick slotted. But it’s nice to have now. Maybe you could do a video on commonly missed opportunities and overlooked shortcuts.

[@lukedorrington7455]

I joined a guild and hated it, I loved the way you could buy and sell with each other and help each other out I just hated that they wanted to voice chat all the time I play games like this because I don't like talking

[@Dana-cb7vk]

Subbed! 5 days in game gotta finish this vid after work. Steep learning curve to this deep game.

[@fishmo_mofish]

Recently started, within the last 2 weeks, played it for a few days before realising the craft bag isn't so much as would like item but a must have item which led me to getting eso plus. Not sure if this is the same for 6 and 12 but with the 3 month package on psn you get all the crowns day of purchase rather than a monthly 1650.

Good god the closed captions for this video is BAAAAAAD lmaao

[@reachorkravi8704]

Don't read book cases until your skill lines get higher in level. What's better- getting lvl 4-5 or getting lvl 20-21

[@mkvalor]

Regarding the chat window: "slash" is one character: / and "backslash" is a different character: \ . The way to remember which is which, is to recognize that in our Western culture(s), we read from left to right --> . So that's interesting because the "slash" looks like it's falling forward (in the direction you are already reading), while backslash looks like is is falling... back. Yes, many of us know what the content creator "meant" -- but I guarantee you a good number of folks will watch this video then go to the game and wonder why it's not working, since they remember his words and try to make it work with "backslash".

[@artemisentreri612]

Thanks for the great information. Returning player from years ago ready to grind it out again!

[@vargabalint221]

Cool video, thanks for the tips. My biggest issue is that I’m too afraid to join a guild and get in contact with others cause I always played solo. Im just unfamiliar with these multiplayer concepts.

[@TrairFrair]

An odd mechanic of this game, guilds are per account and you can belong to several of them. There are merchant guilds that serve as trading communities, there are social and role-playing guilds, and there are trial/raiding/pvp guilds that are more content centered guilds like in other games. In other words don't be afraid to join a social guild to make connections and have fun with people! It's not a final decision by any means, and it may very well enrich your play!

[@thehighpriestess8431]

Play with me ! I am such a newbie ! LOL

[@captainobvious3678]

Just started the game a few days ago, I decided to become a magcro after doing some research and so far I’m enjoying it. The only problem is that I feel like magcro isn’t good for pvp, but I’ve been enjoying battlegrounds lately so I might have to switch to stamcro. I’m not sure yet

[@captainobvious3678]

But on the flip side, I feel like being a god at dungeons would feel pretty cool, so I’m not sure if I should make the switch

[@outlawred946]

Magcros can be monsters in pvp. I've played one for awhile and you can play as a tank, healer or dps. Mine is kind of a hybrid of all 3. But they are strong

[@andrewmartin2341]

I've played a ton of mmos beginning with daoc. I don't know why I took so long to try this game but I put in 8 hours my first day clearly im hooked lol

Got ESO when it came out. Member since April 8th 2014 my account says. Still have 9500 crowns lol. Stopped playing, came back for morrowind. Was like Champion 300 or something I dont remember. Im debating on going back to the game. I wonder how much has changed.

[@webby8005]

one question, if ESO plus gives you the DLCs is there really a need to buy more than the base game? For example, i could pay like $30 for the base game with no dlcs, and pay for the eso plus and I'd have access to everything?
