Sorc is up to LV37 or so. Shouldn't be too long before he's earning champion points as well. Without that daily XP enlightenment boost, though, going from 1-50 can feel like it's taking forever.

Still playin'. Got my Sorceror between LV30-40 now and thinking about speccing into heavy armor since he's an orc and this horned helmet makes him look like Rita Repulsa. Undaunted passives also give a X% boost to stats based on differing armor types, so it'd be nice to have a good cut. Too bad I have all that Netch's Touch (light) armor for his lightning stuff...

Gonna try out the Nerien'eth monster set and see how that goes. I could find a two-piece setup that gives extra healing or something, but a little more offense for me wouldn't hurt either.

Spent a lot of time grinding dungeons and farming bread drops, so now I'm sittin' pretty. Still got OHKO'd by that bastard boss at Tempest Island, though. Taking 30K damage in one swoop is unfair, yo.

Group dungeons are a bit more fun than I initially thought. Spent today getting a lot of Netch's Touch stuff for my sorceror's lightning abilities -- dude is gonna be fire when he goes up about 190 more levels and can use that stuff.

Damn, I basically have to do the entire Blackwood questline just to get this unlockable hat. =(

---

Yeahhhh, got Scrying to LV10 and got two free Antiquarian costumes that look decent.

Been leveling up my side characters today. Thrukbar is LV23 from grinding Lonely Papa (that giant in Alik'r you can cheese by standing on a cliff) and Pejora Tiv is 13, mostly trying to find a proper nightblade set. There's one in Western Skyrim, I think, that gives all your attacks minor lifesteal or something, so that could offset her squishiness.

Yeahhhhh, I got my Cartographer uniform. The last piece was my belt, but it apparently unlocked by using the Cartographer's Tricorne. Got it for $10,000g, but since it was the rarest one, I probably could've made bank if I resold it.

---

Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends

Ooh, I didn't know you could buy Cartographer pieces from guild vendors. Got all of 'em now, other than the belt. They only cost about $10,000/per, so that's nice.

It's nice that champion points are universal, since it makes my new characters a little more powerful. Just made my third character, Thrukbar the Corpulent, the world's fattest (orc) sorceror. Might not play it too much, but it should be kinda fun.

---

Damn, Mironmwe won't drop a purple Necropotence necklace after 50+ attempts. Might have to just upgrade this stuff on my own.

---

Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends
And watch the city spread out just like a jet's flame

Hmm, I should look into more storage for my Elsweyr house, 'cause I want both a Winter's Respite set and a Necropotence set. Shame you can't craft this crap yourself.

---

Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends

Man, it's taking forever to find Cartographer fragments in Nchuthnkarst -- only found two so far, I think. As consolation, at least I can tell myself I'm not farming fifty friggin' rocks at Labyrinthian...although, to be fair, I got a lot of good Winter's Respite equipment from doing that, so I'm not too sore. :P

---

Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends

YEAHHHHHHH







The funny part is, I haven't upgraded my steed speed at all (except for the one 1 point I got from a crate), so this robo-canine gallops like a 200-ton bulldozer. I'm halfway done with steed carrying capacity boosts, so speed'll be next. The fact you can ride your robot and still be maimed (slowed) by enemies you're escaping from is hot garbage, though.

---

Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends

Yeahhhhh, I did all those lame-ass delves with a random group, found those leads, and even bummed a ride to Coldharbour. I still have one last lead to find (drops from a world boss) but it's in the eastern region and I can't get there yet. Gonna do Coldharbour's questline, I guess, and see if it's any good.

Spectral draugr? Draugr ghosts? The idea is silly.

Goddamn, the Winter's Respite set is amazing. Just went through Labyrinthian -- which was way less annoying than in OG Skyrim, for some reason -- and it was doing WORK. Like, you can walk up to a group of enemies, use the Grave Grasp for mass (4-6s?) immobilization and stun, then just unload with fireballs to thin the herds. Getting free healing out of that, the fear totem, and the Graveyard/breach ability, plus extra healing on top of the Restoration circle ability, is flat-out great. I still died a few times since my necromancer is squishy and prone to being OHKO or two-shotted, but man, it's the first time in a long time I thought I could just dominate. And I did for a lot of the smaller bosses, thankfully.

Too bad so many bosses have minions that maim (is that the one?) you and slow your movements, only to keep maiming you. You see a lot of that in the Western Skyrim dolmens, especially when the tanks die and all the bosses gun for you. Got some purple-rarity Winter's Respite pieces from Labyrinthian, though, so I'm sittin' pretty.

---

Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends

Hmm, might eventually switch from the Necropotence set to the Winter's Respite set, since it turns all circle-based abilities into healing circles. Could use that for these lame-ass guild abilities that don't heal but do other semi-interesting things. Could even use that fear-inducing totem again!

---

Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends

lmao

You can't queue for group delves, so three of these wolf parts are going to be impossible to get because it seems people hate Craglorn content. What a twist!!

---

Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends

Yeahhhh, I got the gold scry drop on Darkshade Caverns II on the first try. My team wiped first, though, because a door closed and trapped me outside. (I'm the healer.)

---

Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends

Whew, got another piece from killing random dwarven freaks in Mzulft, which looks way lamer than how it was in Skyrim. Gonna try running another group dungeon to get another gold-tier part.

---

lmao, the Argonian was good (although a murderer) and the Khajiit was Molag Bal's servant.

What amazing writing.

---

Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends

Damn, there are some wolf gadgets I can't get unless I progress certain quests. I think I need to do eight (!??) to unlock Coldharbour, plus I think there's one to do in this lame-ass Fighters Guild questline. I'm curious if the Argonian guildmaster is the real murderer or there's an eleventh-hour twist, like the Khajiit faking the ghostly confession.

---

Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends

Alright, found two more pieces of my wolf. Some parts of public dungeons aren't as hard anymore, although there was a boss yesterday I couldn't defeat on my own. It was some giant robot centurian that had an immunity shield and summoned 23423 minions. As someone who doesn't use potions, I could only get it down to 66% HP or so before it ganked me with some BS lightning attack.

---

I am the golden Dwarven GOD (the other one) and am well on my way to getting my robo-pupper.



Dwarven stuff is great, so I wouldn't even mind grinding some bosses to kill time in order to get those other Cartographer pieces. Shame they made this badass ruin a little tutorial-ish dungeon on Stros M'kai. =(



Found a cool ring in a portal awhile back. Shame it takes so damn long to research these things.



Here's me and some randoms doing Volenfell. I like how they always use the same few voices for these NPCs, haha. I farmed this place so much, I got at least five Treasure Hunter items and stuck those on instead of my robes. Not gonna lie...the look is underwhelming, especially this helmet, which looks like garbage on my Khajiit.



I think this Craglorn. Looked it up and there's a lot of robo-wolf pieces there, but it shouldn't be a big deal.



---

Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends

Nice, I found a piece of the Cartographer costume. This is slightly more useful to find than those snowglobe pieces in Summerset, lol.

---

Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends

Yeahhhhh, the boss dropped a saddle scry thing. Only took about ten tries, but for a few of those, I lagged out and didn't get any rewards. =(

---

Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends

Gonna try queueing for Volenfell in order to get some Ebon Dwarven Wolf parts.

---

Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends

Yeah, I heard about the Orsinium craft set back when I first googled good sets. I don't have the DLC, though, so I dunno if those items are even available through trade. I put all my skill points into magicka, though, so reaching 40K+ with a normal set is definitely doable. I think the Mage blessing stone gives a percentage increase in max magicka, which has been helpful.

---

Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends
And watch the city spread out just like a jet's flame

I'm at CP169, I think, so yeah, I've hit the item cap from all that dolmen farming. I've been using a Withered Hand item set cobbled together, but might switch to something else, now that I've found some cool stuff in other places. Maybe something that boosts max magicka another 8000 points, like I had in Elswyr.

Speaking of sets, how much storage can you have in your houses? I have that free Elswyr mansion with a lot of space, and I've just been dumping gates and paintings I find there. But, if I wanted to have actual storage boxes there -- maybe for having complete item sets at CP160 -- what's the upper limit? I'd love to get around the bank stuff if at all possible.

Welp, Josajeh did some Filthy Acts at a Reasonable Price hijinx, but I still won. She got exiled and took the Augur with, while I reaped a bunch of benefits, like a necklace I can break down for traits. Not that impressed with the Psijic skills, though, so I guess that about wraps things up in Artaeum.

---

Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends

Oh look, Dosajeh stole the powerful staff after I found all the pieces!!! Hooray!!!!

I'm seriously thinking about killing her, even if the ritemaster is against punishment.

---

Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends
And watch the city spread out just like a jet's flame

Whew, almost done collecting all the Psijic MacGuffins. I swear to St. Ajora, if one of my Psijic colleagues betrays me after I've found these damn things...I'm gonna burn down Ceporah Tower. "Collect this trash and then the bad guy steals it" is probably my least-favorite trope in all of gamingdom. We'll see if the game avoids it or not.

---

Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends

Whoa, I got $150,000 Alliance points (are these useful???) and five skill points as a log-in bonus. Nice.

---

Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends

Yeah, I was way over LV50 when I discovered that. Was mostly buying little apartments in cities and teleporting to those instead, but this makes more sense, haha.

---

Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends

Uhhh, how do I get into Bangkorai for the Psijic quests? Don't tell me this is a DLC area...

EDIT: Ohhh, you cross in via Stormhaven. If Alik'r and Bangkorai are next door to each other, why isn't there a road connecting 'em? Dumb.

---

This Withered Hand item set looks pretty great.



---

Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends

lmao, had a power outage just as I dug up part of this Ebon Wolf mount (???) set in Alik'r. Hope the game remembered that kickass exemplary ring I dug up from a Psijic portal, though, since it's the first time in over a week I've been able to do that. Should look up portal farming...

---

Holy crap, the second Mages Guild skill can be morphed to give you Major Sorcery (+20% spell damage) for 20 seconds? Yes, please.

Haven't done a pic dump in awhile, so here we gooooo.

I miss having 40,000+ Magicka. Damn, I was on fire back in Elswyr.


This is how One Piece ends, I bet, lmao.



Fell through the map once, but managed to fast travel away. Crazy.



Ayleids knew how to design a bridge. Just sayin'.



Dressed like my idol Mannimarco!

There are only three companions, right? I assume they fit the fighter/mage/archer build. Might go with a frontliner guy since necromancer is so crappily focused on healing. I've been doing some Deadlands public dungeons today and been taking care of the healing. Got massive healing, long-duration healing, protective barriers, etc.

---

Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends

Okay, I'm gonna screw around in Blackwood for awhile. Might hop to all kinds of places to scry for legendary stuff (already found 5-6 fragments so far), but mostly because I want to try out companions. They must be decent, 'cause I see basically everyone having one.
