    For 2h weapons, does the Empower effect from Wrecking Blow effect any attack or just weapon attacks? Like would it increase the damage on your ultimate or a magic attack?

    Edit - I just noticed that if you preview a dress as a dude in the crown store it gives your dude man-breasts. HAHAHA!

    Pickpocketing gives heaps of money too. Easy 3k-5k per day if you get lucky with RNG.

    I've been buying Intricate weapons and clothes from guild shops lately, to more quickly get my crafts to 50.

    I really need to sub for at least 1 month to get that craft bag, should ease my storage worries massively! And the Crowns are a nice perk too. You could take stuff from your craft bag even after you end subbing, right?

    I had a craft bag for a month, grinded out from like 25 to 46. It was great. Came back after a hiatus, no craft bag. My bank is full of shit from one night of gathering. Its terrible. Crafting bag has ruined me. :(

    I noticed there are like boost potions that give stat boosts on the crown store. Isn't that hedging into P2W territory?

    No, because they're not as good as the potions that players can make in game

    I don't have Orsinium yet :(

    That said, can other players SEND you that stuff? If so, I'd happily send you some cash / a bunch of gear with traits for researching / food / whatever for at least 5 pc of Julianos. Weapons would be nice, my Inferno staves are currently both still CP 140 D:

    *edit* I think I even have 2 Perfect Roe I could part with.

    *edit2* I want to start leveling my Khajiit again. She's currently lvl 15, and... well, a Stamblade. My goal for her is to turn her into the absolute ultimate stealth and steal stuff machine -- not for PVP or PVE but just for bumming around towns taking shit. I already know what my end-game gear setup and build looks like... but GETTING there is the problem. So... I'm wondering about a leveling build for NBs. To be honest, EITHER Magika or Stamina is fine. Tank, healer, whatever. As long as I can level Medium armor while doing it, I can get to the end-game build I have in mind.

    *edit3* OH. And is anyone a Vampire? I know we have some WWs, but the Khajiit will need to be a vamp eventually. I'm also almost thinking of making my Dunmer temporarily either a WW or Vamp JUST so I can level the lines and get Moar Dyes XD

    I can hook you up with a Julianos set easily enough, I'm a master grade smith, woodworker, clothier and enchanter. I don't have enough tempers to make it gold quality. But I can certainly do purple easily enough. I just need to know the following information:

    1.) What CP did you need to the equipment to be? I can do CP 160 if you need, but that will take a little longer to make as I'll probably have to gather the necessary resources.

    2.) What motif (or motifs if you want different motifs for different pieces) did you want the equipment to be?

    3.) What set bonuses did you want on each piece? (ie. Did you want the same set bonuses on all pieces? or did you want to do 5 piece bonuses and then different set bonuses on the remaining pieces?)

    4.) What traits did you want on each piece of armor and your weapons? I have most of them researched except a few remaining nirnhoned traits on cloth.

    5.) What enchantments did you want on the armor pieces and weapons? I can do gold quality enchantments fairly easily, they don't take alot of resources to make.

    If you need a character turned to Vampirism I can help you with that. My assassin is a vamp.

    As far as cost goes, I don't require any payment. But if you feel happy with what I make and want to donate some gold I won't argue. Just let me know what you need and who to mail it to.

    1. 160, AND I can send you about 400 Ancestor Silk to get you started. Let me know when you're ready and I can put it in the guild bank for you.

    2. Goooood question? You know what, be creative. I'm a fan of the Redguard and Yokudan styles; I haven't seen many of the rare styles besides Yokudan tbh (though I know I strongly dislike Ancient Elf). My character is a Dunmer who is hypothetically a member of House Hlaalu in good standing, and a Destruction magic specialist in the Mages Guild as well. She tends to wear gold and black (the colors of House Hlaalu). I do NOT like styles that show off skin or make me look ~lawl sexy~, and I prefer shirts to robes. So... covering, doesn't show off cleavage, but potentially ~fancy~. Be creative?

    3. I apparently already have a Julianos stave thanks to @Steel Angel I think, so 4 pc Julianos is fine. For the rest, whatever you think would work well for a Magika DK. I figure that this set will end up being my "Comfy Pyjamas" set, eg, what I wear to Normal dungeon pugs and out in the world.

    4. I think Infused (the increased enchantment?) or Divines is fine. I have a slight preference for Infused right now for pyjamas.

    5. Health enchants on armor please, Fire enchants on weapons. Gold would be great, and I know we have a pile of Kuta sitting in the guild bank if you need it :)


    And I am now a vampire thanks to ZeroZero. :D

    The guild bank these days is used partially as a poor man's crafting bag. If we can get my secondary guild, Ash Housewares, to 10 members, we can have that guild bank for that purpose as well. The basic rules of the guild bank are don't get salty if somebody else uses up a whole stack of stuff because it IS a communal bank and that's the price we pay for freeing up inventory space, and remember to STACK THINGS. Guild bank doesn't auto-stack, so you need to take stuff OUT, press Y to stack in your inventory, THEN put it back. I stack crafting materials about 1/day in Pax Arcadia, and if we get AH up to 10+ members, I will also stack there.

    Ash Housewares might someday become our new Trading and Crafting guild counterpart, if we can get to 50 members ever. To be honest, I may nuke it soon just bc I want to free up space for more guilds and there doesn't seem to be a ton of interest :\

    @Lucid_Seraph I'm not in the guild. But I hardly use silk, so I think I have a crap ton of it stockpiled anyway. I'll start in on producing your stuff. Who should I send it to in-game? If you need to message me, I'm usually on one of my two major characters. Sangred Spire (my templar), or Cade Corrigan (my assassin).

    @Lucid_Seraph Okay, finished up your equipment. I did 6 purple quality pieces and 1 gold quality shirt. Most of the pieces are redguard style except for the hood - which is altmer, the shoulders which are assassin's league, and the shirt which is outlaw style. I apologize in advance if the styles don't work for you. I've never been one for fanciness as I have a bit of an inclination towards function over form myself. If there's any particular piece that sorely grates on your fashion sensibility let me know and I can probably do up a replacement with a motif of your choice (provided I have access to it of course).

    As requested, I put gold quality health enchantments on all the pieces, and I have two gold quality fire enchantments ready for your staves. I just need to know who to send them to.

    @Lucid_Seraph I can join your guild if you need people to get you to 10 members. No need to give me bank access, I just play to play. I'm active, playing nearly daily. I don't have anything capped yet but if it helps you put Ash Housewares on the map, well, I'd be glad to lend a hand while I grind dungeons.

    Figured it out. I'm an idiot and put in my current address for the billing when my card still has my old address. On the bright side, they responded pretty quick and on a friday night, so good to know if I ever have an issue that isn't my fault, they seem to respond fast.

    I have to say now though that ESO+ changes everything. Before I would pass on some things I came across like cooking ingredients. Now I'm seriously going around like a maniac and collecting everything. Seriously, every damn apple and butterfly I see. It's amazing. I know why people say it's worth it just for this bag. The extra gold, xp, access to all dlc, and the 1500 crowns a month is frosting on the cake. This is a damn value and the way to do a premium service to a MMO. I love WoW too, but I wish they'd take note, but then again I guess they don't really have to.

    So how do you guys spend your 1500 each month? I'm thinking of saving them for now, because nothing really catches my eye except for those new crates, but since that's rng, I doubt I'll get anything decent. I might hold onto them until a special event mount or pet shows up in the store. I was thinking about saving them and buying the dlc, but as long as I'm playing I want this bag, so that might be pointless.

    Thinking about starting thieves guild dlc tonight. I loved becoming the grey fox in oblivion.

    Honestly, I tend to bank my crowns pretty much for the odd time I see something come out that I really want badly. For the most part it's worked out pretty well. I was able to get an atronach horse that way (I didn't get the horse via the RNG though - I actually got the atronach senche instead, but I did accumulate enough crown gems to just straight up buy the horse in the process :P).

    I think you'll enjoy the Thieves Guild - it was a fun time, and certainly profitable for one's in-game bank account.

    After prowling through eso-fashion.com yesterday I realized that my sorcerer really wants to deck herself out in the Order of the Hour armor. So I looked it up to see where that drops, headed over there today and ran that daily twice (two different characters), and got 2 chapters of the motif: boots and bow.

    I have no use for the bow motif. Anyone have a use for it and want to buy it or trade it for a different one?

    In case anyone has bandwidth cap concerns: the homestead patch is enormous, I've downloaded close to 16GB so far. I'm guessing this is partially due to the way steam implements patches, so if you don't use steam the patch might be ~4GB like the developers initially announced.
