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]

[@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.

[@Chugs4Serotonin]

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.

[@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.

[@viniciusjalima]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

[@FetusFight]

Booted up ESO 7 years ago excited because of Skyrim, quit after about 2 hours. Now I’m back and have a fully developed brain so I’m ready to dedicate my life to the Scrolls!!

[@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!

[@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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@Dorwulf1]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@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!

[@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

[@atrujillo2154]

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

[@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 😊

[@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.

[@gagethrelkel9807]

Buying the pack gives you previous classes as well.

[@debroberts4547]

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

Ive been thinking about trying out the game again and getting to endgame etc. Thanks for this guide, was really helpful. :)

[@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.

[@kyletaylor6794]

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

[@spicypdx]

EXCELLENT video! I wish this was available when I started.

[@Adam_Lutz]

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!!

[@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 .

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@Laponea]

Very useful. Just purchased it and starting it tomorrow. Hopefully it will not disappoint me

[@AnghelVick]

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

[@natemastaler7647]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 🤘

[@karsb2012]

This video is excellent for anyone new to ESO.

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@PhillipGraves1776]

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

[@darrellmurray9997]

Great vid Brah thanks just started playing ESO 👍

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

Things glowing and picking it up being like what the hell is this and what do I do with this. But over the last 8/9 years I’ve been playing I’ve 100% every single story line in every single city lol.

You can hit a sale price on the game too. For under 20 USD, I bought deluxe edition download of ESO base game plus all expansions (including Necrom). The expansions have been released annually (May-June) ever since 2017. They also release 3 DLC per year, but I did not buy those. I expect it will take me several years to chew through the 20 dollar purchase before I"m hungry for more.
