New Returning Player Guide 2024 Gold Road Edition (Elder Scrolls Online, ESO)

[@Jo-Heike]

What I really need as a returning player is a Life Without Plus Survival Guide, as my inventory situation is atrocious and spread out across nine characters.

[@chrisperry4014]

Honestly bro, it’s nearly impossible unless you can farm gold from doing pve for about a year until you unlock maximum bank and inventory space. Then and only then could you really start farming and crafting ONE skill line at a time.

[@chrisperry4014]

There should be a way for thieves and assassins to get fragments of alliance change tokens that they can combine and can sell to other players. Give us a quest line that allows you to progressively commit crimes within your alliance and disrupt the civil peace of enemy factions to earn their favor in a way to fastrack this endeavor. We need more options to change character appearances, like hair, skin and eye colors. This is something else that can be tied to the criminal underworld similar to the flesh sculptor in Skyrim. Perhaps Mora’s infinite archive or the Mirrormoors can grant fragments of mirrors that allow you to change race and/or class? Grant is new ways to invest in skill lines outside of our original class. I think they will likely do away with the set classes and instead allow for an open sandbox.

[@chrisperry4014]

I just wanted to expand, perhaps counterfeit pardons can be collected and used as currency for one of these “lite” appearance changes? Perhaps 3, in-line with luminary ink drop rates and such?

[@carolinemccall6748]

I didn't think the class change not being a thing til I went to FFXIV around Necrom coming out. There you can do all 19 (soon to be 21) jobs" on one toon with a great built-in armory system. I played ESO for 7 full years before taking a break. It seems like a lot is changing, we will see for the best or not. It's been so long now I will probably have to rejoin guilds and find new trial teams. I love the combat and kind of miss my Magblade. I am interested in the location since it overlaps Oblivion and has some interesting areas. Great video.

Thank you for teaching me about the geelds

[@yosidy_]

I believe it's spelled gield

[@nathanielnizard2163]

Step 0: pick a first character that is good for overworld, basically a class that gives a mix of movement speed buffs and AoE effects Step 1: Get skillpoints for your build to function with all the needed passives for pve while enjoying the story(doing side activities that give more skillpoint). It often includes some pvp because pvp skills can be good, I use often the group mobility buff and caltrops. You also probably may have to focus on hunter/mage guilds, do sommerset storyline and so on Step 2: get to champion lvl 160 asap using party finder Step 3: make 1 to 4 selfish builds for that character using regular dungeons, crafting, overworld sets. You want to enter a guild or something. Gears should be: 1 overworld(aoe + semi passive buffs/mobility/sustain, 1 dungeon(could be tank or heal if you want), 1 solo hard content(optionnal), 1 pvp set(optionnal). Do not min max yet, get the set bonus do not go above purple except weapons, and only if you have money. Step 4(optionnal): use a mythical item per build, it is an inexpensive and decently fast way to increase power level and fun, those items are not always best in slot but are fun to use and spectacular when your gear is mid. Scrying is actually pretty fast and it also gives a gold cushion. Step 5: do whatever you want, doing storylines is not always mandatory Note that is not in the video: managing rerolls is insanely good in ESO because of daily quests. If you have lets say 6 character, target farming some skins(which is also money) or getting crafting materials is in turn 4 or 5 times easier. As long as you master at least 1 class, if you have few rerolls the world is your oyster for 10mn a micromanagement a day and you are a kingpin with 20-30mn a day. In the other hand if you are playing only one character, some things get incredible tedious to grind for.

Great work Jake. I plan to start my new player help guild soon. Any noobs on PS EU that choose the 1 true alliance can hit me up. For The Queen! Glory to the Dominion!!!

[@alang9644]

As far base content vs dlc. Found out the hard way. Played Summerset then Auridon then Blackwood to Grahtwood. Wow. Big difference.

[@ggman3000]

Really appreciate the video! Big thumbs up

Thank you!

🎉 can’t wait for gold road

[@xboxgamerz22]

Why, it good for now but when it launch, in a month most set and skills scribing will be nerf so again is money grab by fooling us then nerf everything and we don't get a refund back.

[@mikeMurray-cr8ob]

@@xboxgamerz22 im sorry thats how you see it. im excited for this new content . and will enjoy my time with it.

[@xboxgamerz22]

@mikeMurray-cr8ob I am too but unfortunately they will find a way to nerf everything and I am still upset with necromancer not being fix and now there is 2 weeks I guess to fix it before launch so all I can do is pray to get necromancer fix.

[@johnmorales9078]

Was on the fence about coming back to this game after 8 years but your explanation of how the game works now I have just redownloaded the game and i’m back. Plus D2 is dead now so need something to keep me entertained. ❤

Great video thanks! My one question is I'm a new player and have no idea to search or filter the crown store on xbox?

[@Official_JakeClips]

It’ll be in the featured section when it comes out :)

[@Brumizona]

Thanks, is their a way to only show free items? I don't see a way of filtering search ​@@Official_JakeClips

[@chris2236]

Maybe i missed it but what dlc's do i need besides the xpacs? Which ones are important I have quite a few crowns saved up from eso plus years ago and want to grab some of them. Which ones would you consider a must have.

[@Official_JakeClips]

The biggest ones I broke down are Necrom if you want the arcanist, Summerset for jewelry crafting, Blackwood for mythics

[@chris2236]

@@Official_JakeClips I have all of those i meant like the smaller ones like the thieves guild. I tried looking for a tierlist on them and the last one someone did was from years ago.

[@Official_JakeClips]

@@chris2236 I should do an updated one, dark brotherhood and thieves guild are both good. If you have extra crowns I’d also consider the assistants that follow you around

[@BBRocker75]

@@Official_JakeClips Those assistants, specially ragpicker and merchant are THE BEST! Banker is really situational. My whole game experience got 18O degree turn to better after i got Giladil and Factotum Commerce Delegate. The best investment in my whole TESO life.

I purchased the new gold road upgrade I was told it will come with every chapter that was previously such as necrum, Morrowind etc and also it suppose to come with theif and dark brother hood quest why am I locked and when I try to go to certain area it say get eso plus

[@Official_JakeClips]

Message me on discord you may have bought the wrong chapter version I can look at it

[@uberLWKY]

I haven’t played eso in a little while but warden was my main tank when i played and i had so much fun with it compared to other classes i used for tank in pve aswell as pvp so c+ is kinda low imo 😂 unless its been nerfed to the ground in the past 9 months

[@air402]

Wish there was a class change

[@jasonpolec9001]

Awesome

[@GrumpyCouchPotato]

Regarding guild traders... someone from guild X places item A on his/her guild trader and I am looking for item A, I have to check all guild traders in the game until I found the one from guild X to buy item A? If I got this right, it is a very good ideea on paper and absolutely horrible in practice from a buyers point of view. Buy this item from guild X here for 10g or go online, search the item to see which guild trader has the cheapest variant, go on that map to buy it cheaper... and to that the fact I am a new player and when I right-click on the map it dosen't zoom out but just switches to the worl map and good luck my friend finding something. Sorry for the rant but this is a massive pain in the ... for me as a new player

[@Xyrer]

Yes, this is the worst market system in any game ever. Agree 100%

[@FletchFitzMagic]

Dont ever disrespect warden like that again lol #1 healer PVE AND PVP. Top 3 PVP DPS and top 3 PVE tank. #1 group toolkit in game

Fuck Wardens.

[@andrewmicallef9679]

100% agree, idk what wardens did to jake, but he clearly has a grudge 😅

[@donovanwahrman4735]

Agreed. Stamden is a monster in pvp and best healers in game. Only disagreement I have with you is that they are 5th best tanks behind dk, arcanist, necro, and sorc. But, with this said, they are great tanks unlike Templar.

[@donovanwahrman4735]

@@donovanwahrman4735 They're actually, with scribing, just as powerful as a dk these days. Even more so with ZenDk groups
