Aw man, I am super disappointed. Becoming a vampire somehow erased my Khajiit's facial markings.
Before:
After:
I REALLY want that speed bonus to stealth, and I don't want to get it from armor because I have other plans for my armor, but honestly it looks SO bad that I'm considering just giving up and being slow when sneaking. Because like... yeah.
Ah dang I didn't even know being a Vampire changes how you look. I was considering becoming one on my dark-elf magsorc, I bet she would look pretty weird with a white face.
Ah dang I didn't even know being a Vampire changes how you look. I was considering becoming one on my dark-elf magsorc, I bet she would look pretty weird with a white face.
Yeahhh, I'm going to cure my dark-elf DK soon because she looks super bizarre with a white face.
I have that 2 trait armor that gives you running speed with 5 pieces. It is so nice to have!
I am a stamblade, so that gives me sufficient bonuses for battling too (crits and stuff). I have also a full Hunding's with my dual wield, so that further gives me some fighting power.
I like to sneak past most enemies so I don't need the most efficient set for me. That works pretty good, even though sometimes things get rough. I also changed my rotation so if I do that well I kill delve bosses pretty easily. Sometimes I don't get enough crits and boss kills me, but that's part of the process... And now there is always players doing the same delves so I rarely have to fight alone against bosses.
Oh, that vanish spell from the Nighblade skills helps too. So nice to pop that every once in a while.
I really like that I can avoid most battles in this game if I want, I am a thief and a gentleman and not a thug or even worse, a blasted assassin!
EDIT. I don't do group content or anything, can't be bothered with them. Not for me, that kind of content. And I don't need the items from them, fooling around and taking people's valuables is a lot more fun to me.
And now I am so skilled with pickpocketing that I am concentrating on rich people or soldiers, I leave the poor folk alone. I have fond memories from Oblivion, beggars and I go way back...
My goal is to be literally the sneakiest. The explanation is a little TL;DR but here you go...
As far as I am aware, "stealth detection radius" refers to the range at which enemies can detect you. I have HEARD baseline for this is 15 meters (50 feet) in front of them, 3 meters (10ft) behind them, but I don't think this is true/accurate since 10ft behind a character seems like a lot more than they actually have? It may also vary by monster type; I think guards and player characters, for instance, have a much larger detection radius. But, for the sake of this calculation, let's use those numbers.
Khajiit & Bosmer racial trait gives -3
Night Mother's Embrace is -2
Night Terror is -2
Medium Armor is -7% per piece of medium armor, so if you're in full medium that's 49%
I don't know if that 49% is applied BEFORE or AFTER the other subtractions are applied.
If the 49% is applied to the baseline 15 meters, then with all these bonuses your radius is 0. As in, NOTHING CAN SEE YOU, even if you're literally on top of them.
If it's after, their front detection is 3.6 meters, and they can't see you at all when you're behind them. I suspect it's the latter, though obviously I'll have to test it.
With that said, I COULD use Night's Silence + Night Terror, and have an effective detection radius of 5.6 meters in front, about 0 behind... but if I'm a vampire, I mean, seriously. 3.6 meters IN FRONT!
Finally, if you have Thieves Guild, you can reduce that amount by another 10% for Guards and Witnesses.
So tl;dr -- I could use armor to Go Fast while Sneaking, but if I use all my armor for Being Sneakier, I am WAY harder to detect. Basically once this character hits 50 I'm going to do allll the quests, dolmens, and bosses in Deshaan and Stormhaven to get full sets and then be super invisible.
Another note -- This build should work super well for being a scout in Cyrodiil. You won't have best of the best damage, but you could probably sneak right up to a zerg and if they don't currently have Magelight active, they won't see you.
I still need to get the character in question to 50 so I can get the armor I need, but once I do, I'm planning to try to figure out nVidia Shadow Play so I can take some video. It'll be without the Thieves Guild perk tho since I don't have that DLC yet and I'm not sure if I want to buy the DLC and then ALSO have to level that skill line to 10 before taking the vid (because that'll take a while)
I gotta knock out a few more gigs before I have the cash for DLC anyway.

You could always sub for a month and have free access to that DLC, get it all squared away in a month and get the benefit of some crowns and the craft bag along with it. You don't lose your rank or abilities when you lose access to the DLC, you just can't level it anymore.

but what if I want permanent access to that DLC
For me personally I've decided that the crafting bag is just so damn good that if I'm playing I'm going to be subscribed, so I don't ever see myself actually "owning" the dlc.
I like my murder chap, and One Tammyreel is the best!
If I wanna do a thing, I can do a thing, and if I get eaten alive by giant cats in the attempt, it is my damned fault for getting eaten by giant cats, as I had every opportunity to murder them to death.
Everything about this game has been improved from my point of view through the addition of resource refunding delayed lightning burst execution sorcerer bullshit. Murdering innocent civilians with my killing dagger is good, too.
Look, the crafting bag is one reason I don't want to subscribe, ever. Once I get that I'll never be able to go back. That's how they get you. I've muddled along since launch with slick inventory management and guild bank abuse (and I have A WHOLE GUILD BANK to abuse now if I want!) and I'll damn well keep doing that.

That sounds interesting!
But to be honest I prefer quickly in, quickly out -method, is has served me well over the years. Makes exploring easier and more convenient, I run stealthed always when i'm not on my horse. I got also that PvP skill that makes you go fast. Oh, and bow passive that makes you faster when dodging.
I was going to un-sub from ESO for the month since I've resumed playing Black Desert Online and then there's ME:Andromeda hitting in a few weeks. But I mis-remembered the renewal date on my account so hey, I guess now I have 1500 more crowns to play with.
I've been using this calculator for Alchemy master writs, it eliminates a bit of trial and error. Just pick the three traits needed by the writ and hit find, and it'll show you valid combinations for the output you need.
On that note I really hope this game has some kind of cataclysm event at some point, I hate Elden Root so much. Having to run up three sections of that damn tree to get to the alchemy station drives me insane.
Ah nice thanks! I had assumed since the lazy-writ crafter mod doesn't do alchemy writs that there was some technical limitation preventing mods from doing alchemy crafts.
The repeatable Brotherhood fedex quests, (the package is murder) really sell me on this whole post-Skyrim elder scrolls thing.
Bodies litter the streets. Players lurch from npc to npc, pausing only to stare into their eyes and/or butcher them, and guards regularly beat clown suited travelers to death when they manage to catch them during a footrace to a conspicuous trap door.
I love it when I stumble upon an assassin killing someone in a house. It's always this awkward feeling, "oh damn, nevermind me, just looting these drawers!". It's like going into bathroom when someone's already there. I've never had that awkwardness in a game before, and it's just wonderful!
And I love that too when assassins don't loot their victims, easy money for me without risk (it doesn't count as stealing).

It seems fitting, somehow.
I am of the opinion that this game became a real Elder Scrolls game when they added the Justice system and opened up One Tamriel. Prior to that, it was just another generic MMO that happened to have an Elder Scrolls theme. Now, a new player can bungle their way into wherever they want by just sort of walking in a random direction, everyone's stealing everything that isn't nailed down, and murderhobos practice their craft in the open. And actually now we have murder-homeowners in addition to murderhobos.
My favorite recent story about a player new to this game was a guy who ignored Razum-Dar, tried to kill every Khajiit on Khenarthi's Roost, and ended up with a 1 million bounty. At level 3. If that's not Elder Scrolls, I don't know what is.
After several missteps crafting 3 pieces of heavy armor and weapons for a pvp kit (first I made a CP 150 cuirass, then I made armor pieces without clicking the set armor icon, then I made set armor pieces without traits . . .), I took advantage of the double AP week last night and pushed my stamblade through enough Alliance Points to open up rank 6 of the pvp skill lines to unlock Caltrops. I'd fun veteran Fungal Grotto 1 so many times in an attempt to get a medium divines Kragh's helmet to drop that I had 3 viper jewelry pieces and 2 small Impenetrable Viper pieces to combine with 3 heavy Impenetrable Hunding's Rage pieces and 2 swords and a bow to make a quick cookie cutter pvp gear set.
I've only done one serious attempt at pvp before with most other times quickly fizzling out because no one was doing anything or AD was just not really doing anything that time of day/night. I spent 4 hours following around various groups and mostly just punishing opposing players that were out of position or thought they had an easy gank on an ally they thought was alone and occasionally sneaking around to heal people retreating after I unlocked Vigor. My one attempt at siege ended in a seconds as someone snuck up on me while no one was watching our backline and my catapult was quickly destroyed within seconds of the next person who tried to use it stepping up to it. All in all it took about 3 and a half hours to go from rank 3 in Assault/Support to what I needed to unlock Caltrops with the amount of activity going on during the pvp stress test and the double AP gains with the pace slowing down towards the end as people went to bed.
I now have two very useful stamina skills and can now gladly never do that again on that character until I get desperate for skill points or decide I really want the motifs bought with AP.

Wow. That's roughly three months of bounty decay, if my napkin math is right. One heck of a start to the game.
@DaMoonRulz I installed using these instructions and could open the game correctly, but as soon as I try to Play it from Steam I get the error 'An error occured while updating The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited (content file locked) : \Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\Zenimax Online\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2010\installscript.vdf'
The Pax Arcadia guild bank is starting to get full again. Some of it is due to materials not stacking in it unless you take them out to stack it in your own inventory first but a lot of it is due to Intricate gear piling up and with the Thieves Guild anniversary event doubling drops in Hew's Bane, me trying to get Outlaw motifs from the delve bosses, and the bosses not cooperating but spitting out a lot of Intricate items we're going to have even more soon.
I'll likely do an audit of the bits of gear people have thrown into the bank now that I have a better handle on what's useful and what's not to break down stuff and toss the raw materials into the bank (just about anything not CP160 is going to be broken down unless it's clearly a research piece since enough of us can craft stuff for lowbies that non-max level gear just takes up space) but I highly encourage anyone doing crafting on a character that has not yet maximized the skills to take and break down the Intricate stuff. There is going to be plenty, plenty more coming in with the way these drops are going.
I haven't been playing much, but I usually use the roomba addon to autostack the materials in the guild bank, works pretty well, but it can take a minute or so while it is waiting for the transaction timer.
should I shove any spare crafting motifs into the bank?
If you want that's one avenue for them. Most of the ones in there are really common ones that don't sell for much. Though because of how common they are, very few people need them and we may not see them get used until new players come in again en masse.
should I shove any spare crafting motifs into the bank?
Did I put you into Ash Housewares yet? I literally made that guild for shoving spare crafting motifs into. Though, go easy on the Blue motifs, those are stupid common /sighs.
*edit* Unless you somehow find an Imperial motif, which inexplicably seems to be the rarest motif in the fucking game now. I seem to recall that it WOULD sometimes drop if you didn't have the Imperial edition, but I have NEVER SEEN IT, either in a guild store or in the wild. Does it just not drop anymore?

I've gotten it once, Imperial Edition as well. Found it in a backpack in the last room of City of Ash II. Haven't seen it since.
