Uggh, Mira just spent 1500 gold on 101 Gallatite ingots because she needed to get the blacksmith writ done and we were running out of time. The nodes didn't seem to be re-spawning like they used to.

Another good day for Cirinwe today - got herself a mount (finally) and her first Minotaur motif. She's also very close to maxing her blacksmithing, so she'll soon be doing writs and crafting her own gear. Wowee!

Haa-Rei had a more relaxed day, and did another quest in Auridon. He has a couple left to do, so I might push on and do the rest tomorrow.


New Mount

What?! How dare she make Khajiit's cousin her beast of burden!!


Nah, only joking! Cool mount!

Me, yesterday: I'm going to cut down on the dailies outside of crafting for the rest of the event to avoid the empty feeling when I finally return to normal play since Homestead dropped.

Me, today, on my 18th daily outside of crafting: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA *crashes into a picknic*

A horrified onlooker: Jesus! ¡La pubertad no le ha hecho bien a Dora la Exploradora!

But anyways, may as well get the most out of this event.

I also got some crowns and after buying an outfit or two I might get an Appearance Change token for Jo'zira to finally change him to his updated look after One Tamriel. Gonna play around first to get as close as to what I have in mind as possible. (A caracal)

Also gonna take a peek at the sliders I used on my characters before changing him. I'd get a name change token but iirc they're more expensive than they have a right to be. Hates-White-Rats will have to stay as such, I guess. But then Xochitl is her "dead" name, so (and I doubt it's still available)

Congrats to Ciri! That lion is my absolute fave mount when it comes to non-horses.

What an adorable kitty to model Jo'zira's potential new look after!

Adorable Khajiit is adorable!

Khajiit, Mira looks beautiful! That’s a big change for her. Very nice!

hazmick, I love Cirinwe’s lion mount. She looks regal. What a fantastic choice!

monkey, now my mental picture of Jo’zira is that caracal. Oh my gosh, what a gorgeous cat.

In Jerric news, Tythis Andromo has joined the crew thanks to the Crown sale. I love him already. Jerric plans to set him up in a house of his own, but as with most things he is not in a hurry. Which is good since gold tends to slip through his fingers. Today he bought a sample of the Llodos Plague for Lleduri. He left it on her desk as a surprise. I mean, the bottle looks pretty, but what the hell!

Thanks! She's still the same wild-at-heart gal she's always been, just a bit more refined! (Not sure if Khajiit mentioned this but Mira recently decided that she wanted to be a clothier and leatherworker in addition to wood and metal so she got certified in that trade. Feng will probably get re-speced at some point. Brenna, Khajiit's upcoming Warden Reachwitch, will be skilled in enchanting, alchemy, and cooking.)

Does any one here have any copper to spare?

How much do you need?

I went in game, checked my supply and sent Khajiit 10 copper - should be enough to make a nice set of gear!

*Retracted*

Apologies to Acadian as it was he and not Hazmick who gave Mira 10 copper pieces. Thanks Acadian!

Nice lion!

I got flooded in surveys today but HE!Y, I finally finished the Ebony motif on everyone today. Had to buy two writs for Jo and Hates to have enough because they kept getting 2-6 voucher stuff and I was sick of it. That's done. I'm planning on getting another attuneable by sunday but idk if that's gonna happen. Gotta see how many vouchers the crafting monkey has first. At 1.2k ish per voucher I guess I can fork up the gold.

Anyways, I'm still in blissful hell. I forgot the lion mounts were still around.

EDIT: Full Attunable Station Get! Now to wait for Sunday morning so I can send the crafting monkey into the IC. Hopped into Cyrodiil today in case the way was open but it turns out it's all blue. Tomorrow after everything resets it is.

*Grand Trial Complete*



Now it's time for Hates to finish those two writs from the comfort and safety of home. The Memorial District was swarming with Worm Cultists, including a few pounding on the door of the damn crafting building

Good news is that the set is now available to those in the guild capable of crafting it. Bad news is it's a 9 trait set. Worse news is each station is currently set all around the house until I figure out where to put it (most likely going to be in the tower for accessibility tbh)

I finally got around to changing my username today, or rather swapping usernames with my xbox account. I shall henceforth be known as Hazmick on PC, which makes things easier.

As for my crew; Cirinwe continues working hard to get the Minotaur style. Progress is slow. She reached 49 Blacksmithing tonight though, so that's exciting.

Tsarakiri got a little further with the Dark Brotherhood questline. Only one more quest left until she's done, but that might take some time what with the way the quests are set up.

Haa-Rei finished up in Auridon, and moved on to the mainland. Still taking it easy.

monkey, congratulations!! Wow, well done! Thank you for sharing those stations. Elke is diligently working toward 9 traits. I would never get to try that set if you hadn’t put the stations where I could reach them. (I like the stations spread throughout the property. It gives me an excuse to look around! )

hazmick, I hope Cirinwe finds all of the Minotaur chapters. I think it looks fantastic on High Elven ladies. Aninah wears some of the Morihaus set mostly because of the look.

Yeah, the Minotaur stuff looks so good on ladies. Perfect evening wear!

Ciri, like Aninah, also just has some Morihaus stuff for the look - the bonuses aren't really what she wants. Once we find the chapters she can make her own sets. Especially since she hit Blacksmithing 50 this evening - writs ahoy!



Also, man does the Coldharbour furnisher has some expensive stuff this week. 20k for a single plant!? They look great but goodness gracious me.

So umm, Mira just found the Death's Wind set crafting facility in Stonefalls and boy does Khajiit feel foolish given all the time he's spent in Stonefalls with Mira!

In other news...
Khajiit just preordered ESO: Morrowind! So excited!

SO ANYWAYS DAILY HELL ENDS TODAY

Yesterday I was all fired up to do a bunch of dailies but the reality is that I'm tired and didn't do much beyond the usual ones I did since the event hit. I even skipped out on one for Hates and Eolan. Tomorrow I fill out the motifs I set out to complete by buying them. and I'm probably staying up till 1 am to do the crafting dailies one more time for more boxes

I also spent like...110 vouchers across the Squad for purple furnishing blueprints a few minutes ago. i got a pillow so good purchace. Might take me longer to get the six other attunable stations, tho.

Today Mira finished up the Fighters Guild line. Now she's in Wrothgar helping out the Orcs.

Congrats to Mira the FG Victor! And enjoy Wrothgar. Luvs the little mammoths.

Buffy's enjoying flipping between classes (two versions of her). The healer's looking for Mira in Wrothgar; the storm mage and her posse of pets have just begun Coldharbor.

Jerric celebrated the end of the festival by hunting down treasure chests all over Tamriel. Wandering is one of his favorite things to do. Some kind of trouble or folks wanting help are around every corner. Skyshards too. He tangled with some frost trolls in The Rift, which at first made me wince because I am used to fighting them with his PS4 stamplar build. Now he is all magicka. Even with half of the Champion Points it was so much easier. So now he is troll hunting until they inevitably change things due to him being too happy with his “balance.”

Elke got the Aldmeri Dominion bow chapter in a gift box, which made her as happy as Jerric at a fishing hole. Lleduri hit 50 in Enchanting thanks to the xp bonus, and Pog got close at 47. I am delighted. Leveling Enchanting is not my favorite thing.

Oh! Elke recently embarrassed herself by accidentally barging in on Misa and a friend (hit the wrong menu option on the way to Hundings), but Misa was ever so gracious and showed her around some gorgeous mALX-designed houses! I am in awe of her Snugpod tower home and Sleek Creek tree house! Plus Elke made a new friend, which was great.

WOO HOO, Congrats !!!!

Lol, Mira got through the first part of helping the Orcs and decided it was time to help out the invasion of Coldharbour! She is very close to hitting lvl45, which means a new tier of gear!

That was so cool to have a visitor pop in that way!

The truth is, I get all my inspiration for decorating from seeing things you all do in your own house decorating. Every idea I have was inspired by something I saw someone else do first, lol.






Today in Tamriel ... the Jubilee boxes and accelerated XP ended

Yeah
Khajiit didn't like that we had to do a quest to get the xp bonus thing. He never got around to doing it and so missed out on the bonus. It was much nicer when the xp bonus was in a keg of mead like during the New Life Festival (man Khajiit misses that event. It was fun!)!

I think I mentioned before, but the event was the best and the worst thing to happen to me. Gonna miss those magical boxes of joy.

tbh if I ran into someone with another friend I'd try to duck out and run. Really awkward, happened a few times during my brief stint with in-game RP. Feels intrude-y. but that's just me

Anyways, I'm an hour late for bed but I decided to spend about...300k? from my motif fund today to buy a few more Mazzatun motifs that weren't over 40k and many, many furnishing plans. I was trying to redecorate Strident Springs Demense (again) and decided to find new things to play with.

I figure now that the event's over I don't have to worry about getting a duplicate blue plan, and I REALLY don't want to spend my hard earned vouchers to play RNG for a purple plan that i want. (Yeah, the 110 spent really stung, even if it was across 3 characters) I got plenty of nice Argonian, Breton and Khajiit things to make now! I forgot to pick up that painted Argonian chest, though. Hope it's still there tomorrow. (Might get the Breton canopy bed too, even if it is useless)

I also found the fabled Argonian woven bed pattern! Once for 10k (which I almost bought) and another for 4k. Someone in my guild sold one for 2k, too. The event benefited many, it seems.

Good, calm day. The Squad are taking a break from adventuring again.

Monkey rackin' up! Congrats!

Mira is making good progress in Coldharbour. Saved an ancient King, located and liberated some Fighter and Mages Guild folks. Pics coming soon.

Still technically today as it was done around 3am CST. Before Khajiit went to sleep, Mira forged for herself an almost complete set of Death's Wind Ebony level gear. Sword, yew Nord shield, and full heavy Imperial armor minus the helm. Now we are ready to take the fight back to Coldharbour!

Congrats to Mira! That's a good feeling, isn't it?

Definitely!

Mmmm nothing like the smell of fresh heavy armour in the morning.

The ingredients you needed to hand him to make the cake were all around him in those crates and not stealing (just like last year's festival) - so it just took a minute to complete - and you get that nice cake in your collections to eat the rest of the year on! (you just don't get any XP boost from eating it anymore).

Oh, I love it when friends stop in that way, that was an Awesome surprise! And we weren't role-playing or anything, that person I was talking to was a guy that was showing me some awesome and inspiring house decorating; and when he got done he wanted to see mine. I was showing him my Sleek Creek when Grits popped in, so I asked if Grits wanted to come with us when we went to see my Snugpod.

I always love spending time with any of my friends from here at Chorrol anyway, any time, any where!

I'm glad Grits and Haute got to see the Sleek Creek house before it got torn down. The guy liked my design; so yesterday I had to tear it all down and send the pieces I had made to him to be set up in his Sleek Creek house. Now my Sleek Creek looks empty and barren.

** Oh, I love every piece of that Argonian woven furniture! Every piece of it is really hard to find, too; so congrats on finding it !!!

Haa-Rei just got done crafting some armour of his own - 5 pieces of Hunding's Rage. Now all of his armour is either part of the Briarheart or Hunding's sets, and those set bonuses should work really well together. Unfortunately that also means we have no rubedo leather left. Time for a hunting trip I think.

I already miss the anniversary event - not because of the loot boxes, but because of all the extra players that were running around. There's no way Ciri can do the Minotaur WB at the Gold Coast without lots of help, so motif gathering will be much slower.

Wow! With Mira's new gear (and a little help from our friends), we owned The Great Shackle's face! Galerion is now a free mer again.

A common problem with some of the game's group content, and the reason Craglorn used to annoy me so much. Even after the event the motif chapters are expensive, so hang in there Ciri! Ganbatte! Also, I like the Hundings/Briarheart combination, too. Hates has been running that along with some Night Mother pieces since Wrothgar first dropped. Some days I think I need an upgrade but nah. Works for me. (although I should upgrade that Briarheart belt to at least purple, even if it is only cp150)

Anyways, Hates has been dipping her hand into strange cookie jars for funsies as of late. I was reminded that you can find recipes in people's pockets now when she found a grilled seagull recipe. She hasn't been to Stros M'kai recently and Eolan already knows how to prepare them, but should the opportunity arise, it'll be great to know how to grill a seagull. :U

WOO HOO, Congrats!!!!

Thanks! Now we just have to figure out what to do about this Planal Vortex Cadwell was going on about...

Though Cadwell's adorable, Lyris is not far off the mark when she says he is crazy as a box of frogs.

Lol love that crazy guy! He says she's "mad as Sheogorath's jammies", lol

Haa-Rei got back to work on his Blacksmithing skill today. He's never actually going to craft anything with it, but mastering the skill will allow him to pick up mats for Cirinwe during his Gold Coast hunting trips.

I also want to start saving gold for Morrowind, which isn't easy since we seem to spend it as soon as we have any. Ah well.

The Gold Coast is a good place to go mat gathering? Mira has been doing rounds in Eastmarch and Fort Zaren and would love to have a new good place to gather!

I don't think it's any better or worse than anywhere else. Before One Tamriel, DLC zones were some of the only places to get high level mats, so it's just what I'm used to.

Oh ok, gotcha.

A good gathering place is anywhere that isn't very populated, tbh.

In other news Mazzatun/Silken Ring looks to be the new Akaviri and I hate it. I should have bought those Mazzatun chests when I found them at 80k. The most recent find had them at 150k. I hope the motifs are released on the Crown Store soon so the price goes down.

This'd be a case of "well I'll get them eventually" if I didn't like Mazzatun. But I do.

Other than that, it's just waiting for Master Writs to drop so I can finish my IC crafting station collection. I got another attunable a few days ago so only five more? 1250 vouchers

Coldharbour is Awesome for mats gathering alchemical ingredients. Any of the starter zones has a higher abundance of equipment mats; so does Craglorn.

Ugggh. The server is down for maintenance.
