Returning to ESO this weekend for the first time in like 2 years. This video was great for catching up on updates in the game and refreshing my memory. It also got me really hype to play again. Thanks for the video

[@pikaskew]

Same, it's crazy how disorienting the game is after taking long breaks like that. Especially when you come back and your skills are all reset.

[@alexbrowne9566]

Even though I'm 2200cp I find a beginner's vid nice to watch and grounding

[@carterneis8469]

For real. Good refresher and ideas for new ways of playing

[@alexbrowne9566]

@@carterneis8469 yeah keeps it fresh

1700 CP and I agree

I'm 808 and I feel the same way. Lol I never click off of them

[@faces_of_horror]

Played since launch and still sat and enjoyed it. I’d also say make sure to get medicinal use in the alchemy skill line so your potions last longer and will be up 100%. Also dont use the cash store to increase bag size on your character. There’s an in game merchant that will increase how many items you can hold by 10 per time by paying gold. Good video for beginners 👏

[@tyrellmoxley2425]

Where to find merchant to buy inventory space? And how much gold?

[@faces_of_horror]

@@tyrellmoxley2425 The price increases massively each time you buy the next 10 bag spaces. Same as buying more bank space at the bank merchants. To find their locations you’re better off googling so you can see on a map.

[@songbird6217]

Thanks, Brah! This covers so much and is also a great back-to-basics for those of us in the higher CP levels.

[@Adam_Lutz]

Anytime song

[@nicholasmoore5018]

I appreciate the video man! You summed it pretty much perfectly for me, the first three times I tried ESO I felt severely overwhelmed. Going on a fourth try though I find that I’m completely engulfed in it, and loving it. I think it took me playing WoW with my brother to truly appreciate ESO. I’m still super Noob level, but I literally don’t wanna play anything else currently.

[@sugacoma]

One tip most players miss ... Is the ability to select a single target so your pets and companions only attack that one ... Most say it's done with a heavy attack but you can actually do it by holding square on PS when targeting the enemy ... it will give that enemy a nice white glow

[@rhombicalj]

Awesome video! I have been playing somewhat casually for a few years and cannot tell you enough how helpful your videos are! Definitely helps make the game more fun! Also, I could be wrong, but I think if you get the most recent edition, it includes everything that came with the previous expansions. Warden and Necro were a part of past expansions, so I think they are typically included if you get the most current expansion. I started with the Greymoor expansion and both were included. Keep up the awesome work!

[@viniciusjalima]

Man, i begin play this last weekend and your channel is the best i a found in inglesh. Thanks, you help a lot.

[@debroberts4547]

Fantastic! Have played for a few years randomly and this has been an eye opener for me, cheers!

[@jameswright190]

This is by far the best beginner guide I’ve watched. Thank you for going through all of this, you answered so many of my questions. I’ve wanted to play this for so long but was always too intimidated by how much is in this game.

[@WillCollins95]

you have a good teaching personality and style bro, i followed and was interested the entire time which is hard for me usually on these longer videos lol but im new and level 25 and have been running around clueless just trying to get levels. i appreciate this video man, so many more things i should be focused on!

[@natemastaler7647]

I always watch your videos and beginner guides , I like the way you break it all down and make it easy to understand

[@chaotic_tier-0029]

Everyone talks about the Wood Elf passive like it helps stealth. It helps detect stealthed enemies by a few meters. Honestly a good choice if you wanna avoid gankers. Khajiit has an actual stealth detection reduction for sneaking.

[@edithsmith5510]

Thank you very much for all the work you put into this. I tried ESO when it came out and hated it. I decided to try it again this month and was definitely lost. Your video has helped me so much that I am enjoying playing at long last!

[@jonlundy797]

You said it right off the jump about being lost and quitting. I'm giving it another shot! I'll definitely be subscribing for tips lol. It's crazy how you made it seem less overwhelming almost instantly. Thank you!

[@zonnap]

As someone that's coming into this game knowing some, but not a lot about it, this video has been earth shatteringly helpful! There is so much I didn't know and would've annoyed me about the game if you didn't show me what to do in this video! Thank you for this!!

[@morganphersson7078]

This is so helpful! I'm returning to ESO after an extended break to find- CP points reset Skills reset And struggling to find how I had set my character up! Thanks again Brah for all your help with these videos 😊

[@dargordtq5882]

I have 275 hours or so in the game and still feel intimidated and overwhelmed. I can relate to it a lot. I started playing the game in Feb/March last year, and felt I could never get into it. It's daunting, even watching video's like your beginner's guide. The daily tasks I should do to develop my skills, the content, all dlc's, the things to do, the gear, levelling, crafting, etc. It's so much. Now I love The Elder Scrolls universe and have once again find the energy and motivation to get started again. Learning, getting better, getting most out of the game and such. Thanks for these kind of videos!

[@casualgamer3689]

Thank you, i watched all of it. I have been playing on and off for 300 h but i needed to refresh my memory since i have not played in awhile.

[@Genesis.1-1]

I just finished my fourth month playing ESO...I'm still figuring out some basic stuff...not long ago I learned that you can travel to a wayshrine in a different zone....that would have saved me a lot of frustration and time had I known sooner. I'm sure there are a lot of basic things still to learn. Appreciate your videos.

[@gunjin4145]

I literally just started playing yesterday...and yes. Overwhelming is a bit of an understatement. I'm so confused, going to watch more of your video. Thanks for making these.

[@garregalen83]

Well done, just came back to this game. Going to enjoy the lvling, story and exploration

[@chitlun]

Good work squire! I’m approaching CP300 so this was really useful, cheers 👍

[@Dorwulf1]

Definitely going to share this with my friends in the hopes that more join me

[@gaul_haus]

This was amazing. Thank you for your time and effort🎉

[@CarlosRodela]

SUPER helpful guide - thanks!!!! SOOO hooked on ESO rn too.

[@JustJoshing4L]

I'm actually on my 4th attempt of playing ESO, so I can relate. The first time I either didn't know a thing about ESO or even how MMORPGS and their systems work, so I got overwhelmed and dropped it. Other two attempts were because I started playthroughs with friends and they all bailed. Nearing level 20 now, which is the furthest I've been, and I'm enjoying it. So much so that I was really bummed about the server maintenance this morning lol. All I did was stop caring about what I'm "supposed" to be doing, and just started doing what I want to do which is exploring, and enjoying the story of anything I'm doing at the time in any order I want, and just learning one thing at a time so I don't stress out. Thankfully, ESO is so open-ended that doing anything I want in whatever order works in my favor. ESO and FFIV have honestly been the only mmorpgs that haven't overwhelmed me, but ZOS lets me play ESO for free like the gigachads that they are lol. Appreciate this guide video. You're doing Akatosh's work, my dude.

[@lauragil99]

Fantastic work!! Thank u!! 😍

[@markstruckmeyer9193]

I haven't played since a little after the Warden was released. This was a great refresher and helpful to know all the newer stuff that has been added. Great video

Good shit my guy, def helped more that I thought it would. Intended to watch 10 min of it, stayed for the whole thing

I was playing last time in 2013. I'm going to play again and that was really helpful, thanks!

[@TideOfStamps]

Thanks!! Real good explenation about how this game works. I am starting gameplay today and this was the first video I watched. No need more. Rest I will figure by myself and that's gonna be fun😊

[@truckertut]

Thank you for sharing this, prebought the original ESO and was over whelmed almost immediately. Now will give it a try. Once again thank you.

[@Jerry-ir8nd]

I appreciate the help. This was front to back exactly what I wanted to know, and some extra stuff I found helpful, that I didn’t think of searching for. Liked and subbed 🤘

[@alecrizzle]

wow nice. you really put a lot of work into this

[@margaret3239]

You’ll probably never see this, but I totally agree with you about being overwhelmed in the beginning. I had no clue what I was doing and it takes time for things to sink in but I really enjoy the game now .

[@meflux495]

Thank you! It was useful not only to complete beginners

[@karsb2012]

This video is excellent for anyone new to ESO.

[@KarmaGotMyBack]

I remember playing the game when it was released... as a huge elder scrolls fan the idea of an online es universe was crazy. I have quit for years now but I still come back to watch some videos and I'll never forget that game

[@Clucking_Dragon]

this video is super clutch...looking for a new mmo and you broke it down perfectly. i bought the base game YEARS ago but never downloaded it so i really appreciate you explaining the differences between dlc's, expansions and eso plus.

[@michajanusiak3426]

Great video. You made me to play this game again and I will definitely buy the new expansion. Keep it up. Cheers

[@Twothenines]

So happy I found this video.

[@kyletaylor6794]

Just got my first gaming pc since 2017 and always wanted to play this on PC, thanks so much for the video

[@BobTheBlueprint]

Man thank you for this. I've slowly started distancing myself from the game after a couple weeks because I was overwhelmed and felt like I was doing everything wrong and no other beginner guide really walks you through it. Buddy, you grabbed my hand and walked me through confusion. You answered every question and problem I had. Appreciate you!

[@Trickster-sy4rp]

Same. It's nothing like skyrim which I just started playing again last month

[@BobTheBlueprint]

@@Trickster-sy4rp I feel like I could pick Skyrim back up and have absolutely no problems. ESO had me feeling like I was a kid learning colors again

[@grimm850]

Very helpful, thanks a lot

[@Sniperjones_007]

Great video. What I would give to go back to experience ESO again for the first time. This is by far the best MMO out there. Don’t believe all the negativity!

Just got the game for from Epic, will definetly check ur classes guides.

[@Ithinksnot12]

thank you for the guide

[@tomasarcher4761]

Starting playing ESO only yesterday. Having an absolute blast! Can't believe how big the game is! Only trouble I had was some bored basement dweller following me around and demanding to duel, so I took him to a place I knew was inhabitated by an NPC I couldn't kill and used him to complete an achievement.

Just started playing this week and I’m so lost I’m just going around doing random quests as I see them. I figured I’ll be able to focus more on a build later on with skills being able to be reset

[@gagethrelkel9807]

Buying the pack gives you previous classes as well.

[@AJ-rc5lr]

Wow, thank you for this extensive beginner's guide, although i am not entirely a beginner, but i quit the game back in 2016, i was a VR14 at that time, but yes, after 7 years of quitting, this kind of guide really help me refresh a little bit. I will be playing again soon after 7 long years of quitting, i just hope i won't be underwhelmed by the dozens of DLCs that have been out thorughout these years.

[@kalmainluv]

Helpful.. still extremely confused. Its so much!!!

[@petrhejtmanek5127]

love it ♥

[@Infinigeek-Host-Zero]

I think it would be cool one day to have a vendor that sells trial gear and arena gear as well as the weapons from those kind of like the golden in cyrodil

[@davidponder1654]

I quit my first few characters. Too much stuff to do. Well I smoked a little wacky Tobacky and realized there was just too much in the game to do and I got overwhelmed. So I just started mindlessly doing whatever quests was nearby and fell in love

[@KingDM83]

Great video

[@QuianaMcIntosh]

This video is very helpful I stopped playing ESO in 2019. I recently started again & now I’m so lost 😂. This is good for me.

[@KeeseGaming]

New players be aware you'll probably eventually have multiple characters. ESO encourages you to use multiple characters to maximize your gains. Your second character levels slightly faster than your first, and each character after that levels faster than the characters before it.

[@coreybroussard5264]

Wdym they level faster? I’ve made 18 characters and never noticed this. Do you mean you just know how to level faster?

[@KeeseGaming]

@@coreybroussard5264 yeah basically. It still takes the same amount of exp, but you'll have more tools. You earn the faster progression of alts, it's in no way given to players. The more tools you acquire, the better you'll be at levelling. I treat my ESO account like it's the main character, and all the characters are tools made to help me acquire more things and progress through activities. For example I have a vampire Khajiit speed/crafting build which I used before I had multiple crafters and I still use it to steal, gather, transmute, etc. Even CP is a tool that you can immediately use on new alts. Same goes with gear, the more tools you have the more efficient you'll be able to be.

[@mikkdc]

THIS ^^ What I did was create some alts as I was levelling my main and sent them gold from my main just so I could get the mount training done each day on them and when I do go to level them I will be able to get around faster and/or have a bit more inventory capacity.

[@codyt8541]

@@KeeseGaming That makes me want to play less lol I like having one character

[@KeeseGaming]

@@codyt8541 glad I could help

[@mikkdc]

I first played back in 2016 and was EXACTLY the same as you. I played it for a little while but just couldn't get into it. Went back to it in 2018 and something just clicked. Since then I play ESO on and off a few times a year.

[@Mikemethod28]

while watching this video, i started downloading the game again after 2 years. guess youve done your work brah :)

[@Nighn_9]

Installing ESO now. I did play it for a little bit a few years ago but ended up quitting because I didn't know what I was doing. Huge MMO fan but with a lack of good mmo's out these days I decided to jump into eso again. Your video has already helped out. 🍻 Heres to not wuitting this time

[@ABCDEFGuitar]

Seriously puts me off how much is in this game knowing I'll never get it all done . Never having played before and watching this is just, OMG :(

[@poopyfartboi]

I started playing just cause I love TES lore and wanted to explore the regions I’ve never seen before

[@atreides9380]

That’s what I’m doing right now haha first time I quit didn’t understand a lot hoping things will be different this time haha

[@Grahf234]

Great guide! Yesterday I watched a beginner tutorial for Guild Wars 2, the guy answered none of my questions. You did the opposite. That was very informative, thank you! Only questions I have left, but I went on reddit to find answers, are can I get cool mounts and cool houses ingame without crowns. For mounts, not really it seems (5 or 6), and houses, yes, the ones that were here when the game launched. Just a suggestion if you ever do another video like this in the future. I heard a lot of bad things about the monetization and the loot boxes, so a few words about this would have been cool.

[@audingalindo3152]

Has to subscribe over the RuneScape shout-out. OG since 01' 🥺

[@azureliteyahoo]

It's about the same for other mmorpg that is years in with many mechanics over the years. Using a guide helps

[@rubberducky28139]

I quit twice over 5 years after only a few levels and just picked it back up for a third time. The videos help a ton and now I’m lvl 30. Farthest I’ve made it without stopping lol.

[@gnoo100]

Personally Stablemaster Carry Capacity upgrades override Speed upgrades especially since you can go to Cryodiil and in a few minutes have 30% faster mounted speed.

[@alephnull9363]

The ESO Collection (base game+chapters) comes the dlc classes (Necromancer+Warden), but buying individual chapters on the crown store won’t give the classes for free, you need to buy them separately in there.

[@Sink_Bodymodification]

They can keep the necro

[@jamesbalaj4641]

I'm hoping to get it on the next sale with necrom and I'm really excited I never got to experience it and I have been replaying all my bethesda games and need to play this one already!
