17 Tips for New Players in The Elder Scrolls Online

Nice Video! 👍 One piece of advice is, DO NOT FOCUS SO MUCH ON LEVEVELING FAST. Enjoy the game and enjoy the lore it offers. also, if your focused so much on leveling your character fast 1 - 50 so quick, you will never get to experience it properly. It is supposed to be fun. I played ESO when it first released before Morrowind and honestly, it can have you feeling like you need to level up quickly but just have fun and play around with the abilities for a good build for your character. I will however Specify this. The Main quest at the very start of your character alone levels you up throughout the game and by the time your character has explored all of Tamriel, he/she should be around or at level 50 (Which takes you into Champion Level which is explained in-game) and with the new scribing system inside the Gold Road Chapter, If by choice you choose to purchase it. It can give you flexibility and fun. Hope this Helps New Players.

Great video if anyone is interested in information on housing/travelling to free to shrines: There are 3 free small ‘houses’ (more like rooms) that you can use to travel for free, and they are all near a wayshrine. I personally like to use the house in Auridon because it's a short walk to the wayshrine. You can also get 1 free chest for your house and once you reach mastercrafting, you can unlock the rest of the extra itemspace chests and place them in these free houses to store extra items. I personally use them for Undaunted monster gear (helmet/shoulder), furnishings, Mastercrafter quest books and some items I like to keep, like quest costumes.

Just getting back into eso so this is a big help, great video!

3 Big New Player Tips I would Add: 1. You can decon items to learn those new sets you pick up, you can click on the item in your inventory and choose bind or go the longer route the video mentioned to look in collections and bind them from there. But it is just faster and easier to decon all new gear, that you dont plan to wear, and all new stuff deconstructed at craft tables will auto-learn the gear piece and set for your toon. 2. Make Mounts 30% faster: Go to the pvp zone of Cyrodiil as soon as you can (used to be at level 10), get there by hitting the L button on keyboard and choosing a campaign...there is an under level 50 campaign and its usually about empty...plus you port into one of your Safe Bases (there are 2 safe bases/castles in cyrodiil for your alliance, they on edge of map with shield symbols on the map)...its a safe area no enemy colors can enter and no one can hurt you there, you can try attacking your fellow same colors all you want but you are all immune to each other in all of cyrodiil (you can only hit enemy faction/allaince colors). You go to Cyrodiil as fast as you can to do its 5 minute Welcome Quest (talk to some npcs, travel back forth between the 2 safe bases, talk to npcs, go outside one safe base to the practice siege area, use all the siege gear to hit target dummies that look like scarecrows/stick figures, talk to npcs, go to one of your scroll areas, talk to npc, then go back to safe base, talk to more npcs and you are done). After completing the welcome quest you should be rank 3 or higher in Alliance War Rank, you should have 2 skills points, and you will now be able to add 1 skill point to the Alliance War skill line of Assault to a passive called Continuous Attack...this will make all your mounts 30% faster instantly, can really help speed up the feel of riding besides the 1 stables a day for speed (and yes you should choose speed first for stables to level up, then capacity for extra inventory bag space). 3. Pack Merchant!! Each big city has a pack merchant npc that sells inventory bag space at 10 slots at a time, up to 8 times, so you can buy 80 more inventory slots in total, you can buy all 80 first day if you have the gold. first 30 extra spaces is almost only 10k gold, it gets more expensive with each 10 a toon buys (total price is about 180k gold for all 80). (each toon has to buy the pack merchant slots, just like each toon has to do their own stable buys....but buying extra bank space at the banker is about same as the pack merchant in number of slots and total price but it is accountwide so only need to buy banker slots once).

Great video. This would be amazingly useful for new players. One small extra tip regarding traveling. If you are trying to get to a new zone or aren't near a wayshrine, you can open up the social tab and travel to friends or guildies for free.

Tip 3 extension l: The more skills you have on your bar, the more XP/quicker the skill tree increases

Not a new player, but this guide will help new players a lot! As stated by someone else; this deserves more views and subs! Subbed, looking forward to more guides :)

Hello from another XBox player! The onyl thing i miss from PC is modding and add-ons. There are so many useful utility mods i wish we had on XBox. And solid video! This includes a lot of information I wish id had when Irestarted and had to relearn the game last year.

Nice video. A travel trip I recommend, I'm on PC, so hopefully works on consoles, is look at your guild active player list and you should be able to travel to them without grouping or disturbing them. I often travel to zones in this free and easy way.

Hi there, great video! Thanks a lot. I really like the delivery and your logical step-by-step breakdown of things. After having been in the beta of ESO I only returned very recently with the intention to stick to the game and to try to explore everything. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻😅😊

This video deserves more views. The quality rivals plenty of channels with 1000s of subs. Hope you get the recognition you’re worth.

Could you do a guide for daily tasks for new players as well? Thanks.

I play on Asus rog and these tips helped soooo much

On the subject of 'book skill ups'. It's random, so you never know when it will happen. And the most you can get per character is 4 per skill, and seems to only apply to weapon and crafting skills.

In my opinion, I don't think you should ever buy the latest expansion especially as a new player. I think that first you should buy the base game and play it for a couple days to see if you're going to like it. If you think you're going to like it then get the ESO+ subscription that already includes everything up to but not including the latest expansion. I've been playing for well over 2,000 hours I've never run out of content beyond what I get with ESO+. I have never bought any expansions. With the subscription, anytime a completely new expansion comes out, the second newest expansion becomes part of this subscription.

I wish I know ESO is so bad and full of lootboxes and microtransactions, I wish I know it is pay to win so I would never bought it
