UI

  • If you hold "Q" it will open the Quickslots inventory (8 slots). Select an item from the Quickslot and press Q to use it.
  • You can swap your weapons starting with level 15 by pressing the ' key.
  • If you get stuck in a NPC conversation, typing /reloadui or pressing (apostrophe), or pressing the mailbox symbol will get you out of the stuck animation. /reloadui also fixes a lot of weird UI bugs or glitches. If you stuck at a crafting station, you'll find that /reloadui will save the day.

  • You can also target yourself with healing spells that target allies.
  • You can play through the quests of other alliances but the content is scaled to level 50.
  • Boss Mobs in dungeons will drop potions and a filled soul gem appropriate to your level. You can farm the boss for a bit to build up a supply.
  • Boss mobs in Public Dungeons can be killed multiple times. They spawn when a new player or group moves through the dungeon. You can assist them, and get loot. The loot quality diminishes overtime, but each boss will have a blue item that you will get as a reward – it's only awarded once.

  • By pressing L and R mouse buttons at the same time you can snap out of disorient and off-balance effects for 30% stamina cost.

PvP

  • You can travel to Cyrodiil at level 10. Begin by doing the starting quest and the siege equipment training. You will get skillpoints for the starting quest.

  • Visit the notice boards to get PvP quests in Cyrodiil.
  • In Cyrodiil, towns owned by NPCs have repeatable PvE quests.
  • To use a siege weapon you must first place it in quickslot.

  • Catapults are best at damaging enemy players, trebuchets for walls and ballistae for damaging siege weapons.
  • You can leave Cyrodiil from the Wayshrine at the gate but you cannot teleport to Cyrodiil from another area. You have to get to a keep controlled by your alliance, get back to camp using a Transit Shrine and then use the Wayshrine. You can also respawn there after you die.

  • There are many unlocked chests in the tutorial area. Searching them can get you gold, gear and lockpicks. Crates, barrels and urns are phased per player. They hold crafting ingredients and recipes – Check our lockpick guide
  • It's very useful to keep some lockpicks on you at all times. You can find them in boxes, chests, drawers and wardrobes or simply buy them from NPC merchants.
  • Locked chests are mainly found in the coastline areas.
  • Dungeons chest loot is not instanced per player. Others can steal your loot. The loot in dungeon chests can be superior to dungeons boss loot.
  • You can come across lots of hidden quests while exploring the map.
  • Areas on the map marked by a skull and cross-bones are veteran areas. They have extremely tough mobs and are difficult to complete without a group.
  • Sometimes speaking to a random NPC can reveal new locations on your map.
  • "Heavy bags" have a chance of containing crafting materials up to legendary tempers. They disappear after looting.

Crafting & Economy

  • In ESO you can sell your items to NPC vendors, via Guild Shops if you join one or more guilds and by offering your merchandise to other players in open chat.
  • The same bank storage is shared by all characters of the same account. Starting bank size has 60 slots, but it can be upgraded.
  • You can gather 6 types of materials from the world: provisioning reagents, cloth, ore, wood, runes and herbs. All raw resources are found in the world, except provisioning reagents that can be found in crates and barrels.

  • You can experience from both crafting and breaking items.
  • If you are not a Provisioner, searching barrels and crates might not interest you. Trunks, urns, desks, nightstands and backpacks can contain recipes, style books, style components and other things.
  • While you're leveling it's a good idea to loot everything. If you can't use some of the items you can at least sell them to vendors for some extra gold.
  • You can store crafting materials in the bank. They won't take Inventory space and you can use them in crafting stations straight from the bank.
  • Store your refined crafting mats in the bank, but since you'll be picking up more, keep the raw mats on your person.
  • There are some crafting stations hidden in remote areas where you can craft special gear with set bonuses. In order to use them you have to research 2 traits for an item so you can craft a set version of it. Each set has 3 pieces.
  • The "Keen Eye" crafting skills can help you spot crafting materials easier in your surrounding environment.
  • You can find cooking recipes in dressers and other containers.
  • Unlocked chests and trunks may contain Racial Motifs Books. These can be used to create new styles of weapons and armor.
  • You can break armor and weapons via crafting and learn the patterns for traits. Research time is lengthy and doubles every time you learn a new trait. The first research period is 6 hrs, the next one for the same item is 12 hrs and so on. Research time goes on even when your character is offline.
  • Resource nodes can be spotted much easier if you lower graphics settings, especially if you turn off grass and shadows and depth of field.
  • You can craft tier 1 items without investing skill points in crafting professions.
  • To craft tier 2 items you have to spend 1 skill point in the related profession.
  • If you eat an alchemy ingredient, one of its properties will be revealed. It works only once.

  • Stables in cities are marked with a horse-icon on the mini map. The cheapest horse available costs around 17,500 ESO gold, if you want buy click to okaymmo.com.
  • If you choose to increase carry weight you can gain 1 extra Inventory slot every time you feed him (once every 20 hours).

Guilds

  • A guild must have at least 10 members in order to use a guild bank.
  • A guild with at least 50 members that owns a resource in Cyrodiil (keep, farm, mine or lumber mill) can open a guild store there for the general public. Players that visit your guild's resource can shop from the guild store. The shop will be local and only your guild's goods will be available for sale. If your guild loses the keep, the goods will remain in the store but the public won't be able to buy them anymore.
