I'm a lapsed ESO player ( due to my offshore paramedic job ) my last big accomplishment was working on the psijik skills and getting that damage shield and the meditation skill where you hover and take way less damage... I built an amazing off tank with my majika sorc... so.. this guide is really helpful for me to navigate the updated game... great job.

[@scottjl]

new player, just picked it up on a steam sale, and i really appreciate videos like this to answer all the questions i have about the game. this video may be long, but it's jam packed with great information for a new ESO player. many thanks!

Also a new player (the game's currently downloading) and I'm doing some research before I jump in - this is brilliant!

Khajiit is literally the swiss army knife of ESO. They do everything well with only tanking being arguably still well above average.

In regards to the first quest from the Undaunted, you don't have to complete a dungeon, just entering it marks your quest as being completed.

Hi. Excellent video. I just started playing a couple of weeks ago and m feeling a bit lost. This helps a lot. I play on PS5. I was wondering how the user interface if different than the pc version. Is everything still available but in different places. I know there’s no minimap but what other things should I be aware of?

This was really helpful, I’ve been playing eso for about 2 months and felt like I was missing some things. I definitely was neglecting crafting research most of all so hopefully I’m not too terribly behind on that (I’m level 32). I took some notes to use when I log on in a few mins. Thanks for taking the time to make this video!

[@kizunadragon9]

I played ESO at launch, got kinda bored and moved onto other things. Week ago I wanted to come back and found a fasntastic deal on the ESO store, all major content upgrades (DLC) for 32 bucks. that brought me from the base game i owned in 2014 to current. hell of a deal

[@KrzychuMetal]

Thanks, I just bought the game and watching before beginning my journey :D

[@dottzgaming]

Glad it helped!

[@wearblackclothes]

Something that i think i might like is that when a chapter comes out it doesn't erase the gear u have. Like say you just make or farm an overland from even base game, it's not the best but it'll do until you get the current gear. You take the wierd system in wow like artifact power or necklace and when the expansion ends all your time means nothing. Blizzard doesn't respect the time you put in. Correct I'm wrong but that means you have reason to go back and play past expasions if a set bonus works well for you.

[@IzzyPR2010]

Here's a reason for starting a new character in the starting zone for your faction, one of the quest rewards is a bag upgrade.

[@TuneL0wDieSl0w]

It is interesting that medium armor seems to be the preferred for stealthy stamina builds, where in most games stealthy characters would go with light or no armor. On another note, I still would love a Monk style character in this game. Where magic buffs unarmed attacks or gives unarmored increases.

[@marioforel8577]

Roleplay games where always medium for stealthy builds. And cloth for Magic users

[@juliebeans7323]

OK, I admit i fell asleep watching this on the first take. In my defence, i had just been playing ESO, and my poor brain was frazzled from that. Second time i stayed awake - but there was soooo much content, i'll likely need to visit different sections again.

[@DaDemon1982]

I have a question: Is there a way to transfer your purchases on steam to the regular ESO shop? Background and more detailed: I installed and bought the game via Steam as it's where most of my games are and tried ESO in short bursts over the last 2 years, but not gotten to play it as intended, due to being busy IRL and partly into another MMO. (I was interested enough to buy each subsequent chapter though) But about a month ago I really sunk my teeth into ESO, played the entire Summerset DLC (my entry point) and now transferd to blackwood and decided to watch some guides, which led me eventually to this video. literally the 1st tip is to buy via the normal ESO store, not Steam. Is there a way to link my steam purchases to an ESO account?

[@ManVsWildSE]

Thank you for this guide, it's really great. Helped me a lot! Cheers!

[@dottzgaming]

Glad it helped!

[@reflectreflex7612]

Thanks so much man. Watching it all now haha.

[@dottzgaming]

[@rengokiri]

If I already own the base game plus a couple of dlcs and elsweyr, would purchasing the regular Blackwood collection (not collectors edition) still give me all the previous expansions and DLCs and stuff?

[@Psiberzerker]

I really have to point out a few more things for Race selection: Khajiit are best for Nightblade, hands down. There's not a whole lot that race can't do well, but their bonuses stack particularly well with Nightblades. (Magicka, Stamina, or Hybrid.) Dunmer is the best choice if you're planning on becoming a Vampire, but let's just assume if you're the kinda player that really wants to be a Vampire (Bad enough to track down how) you're going to be equally attracted to the Dark Elf race. Even for mortals, the Fire Resistance is pretty huge, because Fire is the most common, and damaging Elemental damage type, especially in PvP. Orc is going to be the fastest Stamina race, in the endgame. However, they get Swift Warrior last, and it only applies to Sprinting, when you can't do anything else. Wood Elf is going to be faster earlier on, and all the time. This is important, because the game is huge, and parts of it feel like a Marathon Simulator. Hunter's Eye unlocks at level 5, and goes up to 5% at level 30. 5% more speed sprinting, running, and walking crouched in Stealth. Also, being the Smallest (Stamina) race, they can hide behind more rocks than anyone else. So, for beginners, your first playthrough, I'm going to recommend Woodelf. (In Endgame, they're also the only ones with Penetration, and the last few passives, everyone has been under-penetrating. It's not quite as rare, and powerful as Khajiit's Critical Damage, but it's a close second.)

[@Psiberzerker]

Open up Port Hunding/Stros M'kai as soon as possible. You can just start Daggerfall Covenent, or just Fast Travel to Daggerfall, and take a boat, but once you have that Wayshrine. The crafting tables, Bank, and vendors are all right there in a convenient square. So, you can dump out your pack, Deconstruct, and Craft, Research the traits you want, sell the junk, Bank the rest, and then be on your way. It's honestly the most convenient base of operations in the game until you can buy your home, and furnish it with everything you need. It's also got 3 Skyshards (One skill point) you can get in 5 minutes without Questing, but the island's quests are quick and easy to knock out, too.

[@RealQuacki]

What is that outfit and how do you get it

[@aaronx5929]

Play black desert is a great mmo also

[@noragequiters1607]

My experience of the game is that it takes far too long to level up, its essential to get the crafting bag and if your playing magica your powers are too weak and take much to long to recharge to be entirely dependent on them.

[@amariel1811]

The main quest line gives you a lot of experience points and a skill point. I just made a new character last week and I am already level 21. I recommend doing the main story first and daily dungeons.

[@theoakty9242]

What about the player base on each console also is there only one server and finally is it cross play?

[@boscohurley1341]

What if I buy the tamirel unlimited edition

[@sapphoris]

I have no idea what inflation looks like on console, but I had to laugh/cry internally at the 100:1 ratio because currently on PC that ratio is 1700:1 and is definitely cheaper to buy the gold houses in gold rather than paying someone to buy it as crowns. You're lucky if someone sells at 1500:1 or 1200:1 and even three years ago, that was 400:1

[@dottzgaming]

It's crazy how the gold to crown ratio changed since this vid came out

yeah he also forgot to tell you that you need to upgrade your champion points wen u get to lv 60 otherwise u wont be able to equip the legendary items cuse you need at least 160 champion points and then once u get those 160 the fun begins cuse u need to get up to 1200 to do good damage and solo dungeons and that will take you probably a moth or less depends how active u are lol actually that was the reason i stop playing ESO cuse it was really a pain in the ass to lv up my chapion points to 1200 the good thing is once you get to 1200 or 1300 wen u create a new charater you already have 1200 skill pointsts abaiable to use in any character but trust me wen i say that it will take you forever to get at 1200 or even 1100 lol i was like 1130 wen i left the game but if u have patience u will love the game cuse it is a really good game just pass that chalenge and u good to go
