How do you like to use your skill points? Also like subscribe if you want more of this series!

[@Sir_Moth]

I use the outfit station specifically for a craft build and cp than also a tank build for raiding

[@Gandalf-zd1gi]

As a noobie, never played ESO before I’m dropping skill points all over map, lol. By the way I noticed menu looks wayyyy different on PC from Xbox. Kind of confusing watching your videos and relating to the Xbox menu. 😳

[@FeenixT]

One thing I found that helps me level my mounts quicker on multiple characters: before you log your character out, find a nearby stable and be near it on logout. When you log that character back in the next day, you’re already at a stable and can get that out of the way. Saves having to go find one at the beginning of a session

[@Lupinemancer87]

That's actually what I did, if I wasn't playing on my alts, I would always park them at the stable then once every day I would log onto them, train the Mount, and log back out. Before I knew it, I had maxed out all Riding Skills on all my alts :D

[@Sir_Moth]

There is a add that makes it take 2 seconds and you can pop off right after

[@Gandalf-zd1gi]

😮 dang, just learned something new!

[@Sub-xo8uj]

I think something a lot of new players struggle with that's neglected by long term players is how to manage excess crafting mats without ESO+. That might be something pretty invaluable to cover for more casual players.

[@mikfhan]

Ohyeah, stuff like leveling 3 crafter alts (wood/smith/cloth + jewel/enchant/alchemy + provision) to 12 for free bag upgrade, horse bags daily, bank manager revived addon, additional alts to store research items, cheapest bag/bank upgrades, keeping topmost crafting skill lower rank until your main character/gatherer hits level 16/26/36/46 + 10/40/70/90/150 cp.

[@Psiberzerker]

IDK if you'd count this as a "New Player" thing, but at level 43, you get a Skill Respec Scroll. You can also spend money at a Shrine, but this is free. As you level up, you spend a lot of SP on "Gateway Skills" to unlock weapon skills, for example. You don't need those, so I tend to get around 9, or more SP at level 43, just clearing out those "Gateway," and Leveling skills.

[@michaelcoffey1991]

Again huge thank you for this series, we look forward to seeing all the ESO guide an content from the back catalog. This series has been a huge help, we thank you for the upload :)

[@JonezBBQ]

This has been my problem in MMO's or other games that have skill points with multiple branching pathways. I end up getting overwhelmed by the amount of paths I can choose and become paralyzed in my decisions. Ultimately, I hold on to 90% of my skill points because I fear that I'm going to either waste them on something I don't like or is objectively bad, or end up changing my mind later on and regret my decision. This is why I liked games like WoW that didn't have different ability pathways aside from talent trees.

[@n1ghtlover899]

You can reset skill points for gold anyways. Zones have plenty skyshards and public dungeons that will provide you with more skill points to fill any skill tree you like, if you put time into it.

[@draiff5955]

Thanks for making such a customizable game easier to understand!

[@51artic90ten]

I always have trouble finding alchemy ingredients so I placed points in Keen Eye for Alchemy.

[@Noob-vc7tg]

same with me. always miss some alchemy ingredient before putting point in the keen eye passive.

[@CorvoFG]

This is all such useful stuff. Waaay below me these days but essential for a new player. Great series, keep it up.

[@AskKicker]

This series is amazing and is saving my life. Finally someone with a brain. Your advice on crafting has been essential to understanding the flow that my speedrunner mentality couldn't shake off. Thank you.

[@lordoftheawoken4044]

Thanks for another great video Adam. I look forward to seeing more !!!

[@tankchris5491]

Been waiting for like 2 days on this episode been following everything to a T. I just started back on ESO from console and this has helped me tremendously, I started my jewelry crafting too but just the research for all 4 and loving the build so far magcro dark elf all dlc collections and all ESO plus addons. Got my mount speed to 58 and 30% boost from PvP

[@thesmokinyoda9948]

I thought I subbed but haven't until now. I've been playing off and on, on both the Xb1 and PS4 and I still need a refresher or I'm learning something new. I appreciate your time and I appreciate you for making such easy to understand videos.

[@bradfordhatt555]

I'm watching your current video and as I'm typing my comment you read my mind about the house reward idea. I was literally going to say the same exact thing even before you mentioned the ability to get a house from ESO, down the road. It's an excellent idea because it truly is very expensive and difficult to acuire a decent house early on in this game. Like they say, great minds do think alike!! Thank you for your video. I really enjoy watching your different videos. Keep up the hard work.

[@deanhtid99]

Great video. Thank you. Looking forward to the next one. I’m a new player and loving it

[@SirBanana1992]

I would at the very least save 1 skill point for 1 point of continuous attack passive as soon as hitting lvl 10 and get rank 3 in assault/support skillline through battlegrounds. It makes everything much faster to do after that for the long term for the instant mounting speed. don't even gotta worry about winning Battlegrounds, we get enough points losing 1 match to jump from 1 to almost 3.

[@zSilverGuardian]

yes this is what i did for all the new char, that mounting speed is really helpful and vigor is a very good heal if your class doesn't have a lot of healing skill

[@weslantz1977]

Probably should have at least mentioned the skill point finder add on. As you progress it is nice to see where you still have points available.

[@savagex466-qt1io]

Brah I just got this game. Love it. Im I the only one that rooted through every single container I can find in the tutorial ? lol

[@deadkodo]

I usually put 1 point into keen eye except for enchanting because if you can't see runestones from 10 miles away you are blind. I actually also do research on all my alts..don't ask me why. I probably should just have one who does all my crafting but that does get annoying making sets, putting in bank, switching alts then realising you made a wrong item or trait and have to go back and remake something. I am returning and have 2 CP 160 chars, and 7-8 alts of various classes but created a new one for Blackwood and have been trying to determine how to best do skill points. This was helpful even though I should have known it all already as I have been playing on and off for years. Enjoy your content and keep it up.

[@ryuzakikazeshini4012]

If you have the Harvestmap addon, I dont think the keen eye perk is necessary at all🤷‍♂️ saves skill points imo

[@vanquest5341]

Have a tea spoon of beer every time he repeats info, guaranteed a happy night. Need a script bud, good work

[@NUFCMonk]

Wow I wish Xbox had those add-ons for the skyshards makes finding them alot easier!

[@replicant6]

Hey good idea! I love your videos man.

[@BobaSoda_]

Do 2 team deathmatch matches, put one point into Continuous Attack for Major Gallop passive (+30% Passive Mount Speed), download skyshard add-on, and farm skyshards.

[@wwolter27]

CP 700 here, great video with helpful info. Lots of stuff for new and veteran players

[@tankchris5491]

Also you should do a mini 10 minute guide on the skills we should research last for the 32 and 64 day research times for 8th and 9th traits. We all want the 9 but what early gear would relate to the first 5 or 7

[@christinehede7578]

Research whatever white gear you have.

[@CreativeExcusesGaming]

The idea of the “main” on eso is so hard for me 😂 I have 5 characters that I have done roughly the same amount of stuff on each toon. I have no main, I just have the character I play right now, and my other ones

[@SteveSearle]

And there's me thinking that I was the only one who does not subscribe to the "alt toon" meta 👍

[@Adam_Lutz]

Same haha

[@youtubesucks971]

If you're crafting definitely put the points into reducing research time as that 30 day cap is way better than not having it. With the exception of jewelry my research slots are always full and I'm ij the last spot for many things which takes forever

[@TheGreatPanicker]

Do a playthrough where you ONLY use Class abilities.

[@williuss6961]

What i do in a new zone on a low lvl chatacter is find all of the delves because they guarentee a skyshard...plus just easy content so i can rack up soul gems from the bosses

[@youtubesucks971]

With the exception of books I always full clear each area before I move to another for all the skill points. Going master crafter on my main

[@streetdog75]

For crafting (research): does having more items researched affect what kind of drops you get in writs?

[@PeteH5479]

Very helpful. If my main character has researched 9 traits, are you suggesting my second character doesn’t need to put skill points into crafting because my main character can make items for my second character?

[@rom399]

So why crafting skill what makes them a good pick to max them out.

[@Sir_Moth]

The addon mydung gives you a list for the ones you have and have not done

[@sifumode9460]

For a new player, what should be the balance of dungeons vs questing? Should we try to stick to the main questlines, or clear a zone?

[@travisjones7953]

I’m fairly new as well, but I would say stick to main questline as it generally has you visit all the main areas of a region and clear as you go. And only take part in the group events if people are there such as group bosses or dolmas but as I’m solo with no guild, its rare.

[@craigslitzer4857]

If you like doing dungeons then do them. You get more skill points. But play whatever way is fun for you.

[@robertm3205]

What are those yellow exclamation marks on your map? Are they quests or something? Ans if so what mod do you use?

[@tomsite2901uk]

That is what i always say....Do your quests. First of all you collect all Wayshrines, then you collect your skill points and most of the skyshards. If i see people do their "power leveling" in certain areas, pay for carries etc. i can only shake my head. Yes they collect XP and reach level 50 quickly, but then they can't do a lot with the level as they are missing their skill points.Then they need to go sky shard hunting and still don't have enough skill points. So they still have to do quests for a full build. Regarding crafting, I do all the crafting and research on all characters. The good thing with research is, that i can craft all gear with all traits on my main. I craft the cheapes gear on my min, store it in a chest and then use this on my alts to fill the research. Only with recipes i give my main priority. If i find a recipe, diagramm etc. that my main doesn't know yet, i store the recipe and use it on my main. With the quests and skill points i need a day to two to get Lvl 50. Not much slower than power leveling in Skyreach. But i already have my skillpoints as well and collected a whole bunch of skyshards in the process. And the whole process feels less grindy than power leveling where you run like a mad man again and again through the same area. Also i find this power leveling kinda annoying. Imagine you are a new player, you have no friends in game yet, you didn't join a guild yet. All you know is to quest. You enter a favoured power level area and try to do a quest where you have to nuke, lets say, 10 lurchers. And then you meet the wild hords of power levellers that steal every kill from you and you need hours for what should take mere minutes. Gladly there aren't many quests that can be affected, but simply don't be an asshole and power level in areas where people try to finish their quests. In other words, be nice to noobs. I can actually understand why some people drop the game after such encounters. If you wan't to power level go to Skyreach and do public dungeons where the spawn times are very quick.

[@Sir_Moth]

Put points into every hirelings on all chars

[@renarddubois940]

isn't it worth to get hirelings skill on all alts to get more mats?

[@damienhine1861]

Is there a way to make it look this nice on PS4?

[@guildmastershannara6454]

With all your time and expertise, do you ever make characters that aren't '' perfect"? And what I mean by that is making a magic heavy char that wears heavy armor.. Or a High Elf that tanks and doesn't use magic.. Just curious how often you make a char that won't be the max efficiency and could be just an average build.

[@stephenwatson2806]

I would say get your clother crafter levelled and traits researched so you can make julianos (magicka builds) and hundings rage (stamina builds). These 2 sets are so good they will be useful forever. Easy for newer players to make too.

[@Tankerbell83]

Best ways in 2023, download skyshard addon that shows all skyshards on the map, and start collecting!

[@olewis843]

This sky shard farm is bogus on console lol

[@christinehede7578]

Just say clear the map on any zone.

[@Youkakun]

Dungeons would make fun if not every group just rushes through them and i get thrown out short after. It's just hardcore grinding and beginner-hostile everywhere 😞

[@dachamp232]

Are you actually going to show us where you are going to place your skill points in this build?

[@dariovaldez6440]

the RESEARCH systemis fine but it feels like HOMEWORK .. having to do it every day, not being allowed to sell or deconstruct your things SO ur inventory/bank/mule are damn full and u spend more time organizing stuff than actually playing... love the game till now but man it is a pain in the assif u not an ESO+ member...

[@바보Queen]

who cares about crafting if you got the awesome collections system.. just get the traits and you're done i think
