12 Beginner Tips This Game NEVER EXPLAINS! - IMPORTANT Elder Scrolls Online Beginner Guide! 

PART 2 IS HERE! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wsAJowM-ZfM.html Check it out for even more tips!

For new players. A few seconds after dodging, the feet glowing means next dodge will cost more stamina.

A tip from my side. If you reach level 10, go to Cyrodill (the PVP zone). Just do the basic tutorial there to unlock your "Alliance War" Skill tree. Go to "Assault" and choose the "Rapid Maneuver" skill. It gives your horse a 30% speed boost for 30 seconds. Really helps a lot to cover ground if you are new / low level.

1. starting zone (0:51) 2. quest journal (3:07) 3. quest types (4:07) 4. mounts (6:03) 5. resetting skills (6:52) 6. camera pov (7:36) 7. buffs stacking (8:27) 8. set bonuses (9:34) 9. dodge roll (10:19) 10. heavy attacks (12:01) 11. generate ultimate (13:06) 12. skill scaling (14:29)

Oh quality of life tip for new players. Level up your first character by questing. Grinding that first character by mindless doleman zerging or running endless loops of zombie pulls is just not fun and you won’t learn very much about the game itself. Experience the stories, listen to the dialogue. Some of it is very good!

Just started this game last night, loving it so far. That tip about heavy attacks restoring resources was worth the watch alone. Game changer!

Another beginer tip I wish I had known at the begining is to ignore most of the builds that you will see of your class online unless it specificlly says solo. The 'meta' builds are specifically designed to maximise damage and usually lack healing and shields as they are designed to be played in group content with a healer and tank. Your first character should have a little of everything and ideally they will probably do all the crafting skill lines and end up your crafter. You can have fun doing story quests right up to cp 160 and then you can make new toons specced specifically for damage, healing or tanking for doing dungeons with!

I gotta say, the thing about the world bosses resonated with me. As a fledgling necromancer, I was in Elswyre running around and exploring. I heard a battle against a dragon, so of course, I had to join. I got one shot in, and the dragon punted me into Oblivian. Good times...

About the beginner zone thing. You'll start in the new expansion zone, but ESO tries to fix this by giving you a quest pretty early on about a benefactor. Take this quest and complete it and it will set you on the Molag Bal quest (where you go to the prison) and then it will eventually drop you off in the same starter zones you mentioned (based on your faction). I'd suggest doing this because it starts you on the main faction quest as well as getting you your first skyshard. At least in this way, the developers are trying to fix the overwhelming zone you get dropped in at the beginning.

You forgot #13: Always wear at least 1 of each type of armor, Light/ Medium/ Heavy, while you level up, the earlier the better. Each of these armors have their own skill line and they level up by simply wearing them. Once you've leveled them all up, you can then mix the armor you wear to suit which armor passives you'd like to use. A popular one is getting a % boost to your resources, Health/ Magic/ Stamina, depending on how many types of armor you wear. So if you wear at least 1 of each, you'll get the maximum benefit.

Great list! I've been playing ESO for years now, but even I learned stuff here! Other tips I would add: 1 - Join the Mages Guild and the Fighters Guild as soon as you can, and put a skill point each into Intimidating Presence (Fighters Guild Skill Line) and Persuasive Will (Mages Guild Skill Line.) Both of these can save you soooo much effort on many quests in the game, as you can just hit the (Persuade) or (Intimidate) dialog option to skip whole stages of a quest. 2- Crafting is awesome! Not only does it enable you to create your own gear sets (there are specialist crafting tables all over the worlds, and some offer better bonuses than the dropped world sets,) but if you've learned all the crafts, it's a quick and easy way to make gold from the Daily Crafting Writs, and get some nice stuff like crafting equipment, items, motifs, recipes and all sorts. The amount of gold you can earn from completing all seven crafting writs each day goes up as your level does as well; once you hit Champion Level, you can make 600+gold from just one crafting writ. So, at that level, doing all seven writs, that's an easy 4,500gold for about 5-10 minutes work. 3 - As long as you can keep your Health stat above 20,000 points, you'll be fine for most of the time, no matter what character class you're playing. This means you can freely stack up in Stamina and Magicka instead; no need to pour a ton of attribute points into Health, even if you're a tank. Just put in enough to keep you around 20,000, and then stick the rest in the other two, which you WILL need more. 4 - You can always use crafted food to boost your stats up too; the purple recipes are the best, since they buff ALL attributes for 2 hours. Learning Provisioning to a high level is worth it simply for that - and, fortunately, Provisioning is also one of the fastest and easiest crafts to level up. Or of course you can just buy purple-level food from Guild Stores.

CP 400 and had no clue I can zoom out even more in 3 person on ps4 like I thought thats a pc exclusiv thing. Thanks for that :D

Under Speed: As soon as you turn lvl 10 go to Cyrodiil and it is just to do a quick tutorial (training) which opens up the Assult & Support skill line. You get the Speed ability, several skill points and alliance points upon completion of the very quick and easy quest (without having to do any pvp whatsoever).

Been playing 8 months, learned about 90% more things in this video...

Being fairly new to the game, this guide was A1. Truly appreciate it. Cheers!

Setting up the camera angles and repositioning the screen offset is actually really useful to ensure that it 'just works' for you - I also see a lot of 'How to' do certain Bosses, Dungeons runs and Trial runs vids and try to learn stuff from them, but nowhere have I seen anyone explain exactly how to adjust the detail on screen, the first time I was persuaded to join a Trial to screen became so messy that it was very hard to see what people were talking about (ie positioning to avoid a specific mechanic for example). Making it clearer would be much easier to see what it happening in the same way you see a clear vid explaining the mechanics by an expert player. As a brand new player this info is not known or made known easily either. Love the info vids, as much as they may be basic for most, for a beginner they are invaluable!! Keep up this great work. Thanks.

You are the hero ESO’s new players need and deserve! ☺️

Another great tip is to take your time and go through all of the settings. Changing the color of the AOE effects on the ground can really help out. I changed my damaging effects to purple and it really shows up well especially in dungeons where the floor may already be dark and red.

As a more experienced player, this video was really well done, so great job! Two things I would like to add would be that blocking an attack also triggers the ult gain buff. This means if you are not quite comfortable getting in light attacks you can block an attack for the same effect. I found this out doing the trial Halls of Fabrication and standing and blocking within the spinney blades right before a boss fight. The other thing was changing your monster AOE color to something other than red. You can make it fun or just something you know you wont miss. That's under Settings/Gameplay/Enemy Color. You can change the brightness as well.

Dude this is the best video I have ever seen for the beginners. I have been playing this game for 1 year, but I did not know only basic attacks grant ultimate regen. Nice video man, and you used my tip there too from that youtube thread of yours.The spell damage and Magicka thing.

YES! Thank You! I've been playing for a week and watched at least a dozen beginner tutorials that all talk about mount training and daily quests, AND NOTHING ELSE! Even the ones that mention other stuff don't actually tell you how to do it. This video is SOOO helpful! Thank You!

Learning ALL of this on my own by feeling it out was such a pain in the ass. Thank you for putting this up, I hope it helps everybody who was as clueless as I was.

I play ESO for a long time and didn't know some of these tips, thanks man, your video helped a lot.

In all my years in eso, u are the 1st one to explain ulti regen! GJ! Been thinking about doing a tutorial for this for years.^^

ty! im only lvl 16 with the base game and didnt know some of these things, the charged attack regenerating resources for 9 seconds was helpful AF!

Another new player tip for PC: it's best to play with the annotations for health, stam, magicka, ultimate, active effects and enemy hit points activated. By default it doesn't show any of these, at least mine didn't and they really do help in figuring out which strategies are most effective.

I don’t usually comment at all but I’m a returning player along with some new friends and these guides are extremely helpful!

Hey hack! I'm finally getting access to my pc tomorrow for the first time in 7 months!! I'm so bloody excited! I'm gonna jump right back into eso - this video's timing couldn't be better!

I started maybe 1 week ago, and everyday I find myself playing more.. but it's so huge that it's impossibly easy to get lost and overwhelmed. This video was great. Explained things in a way that I understood easily. I have a learning issue but you kept me engaged and informed thanks brother!

Hack, thank you for the good video. What i suggest to mention is: tip 4: at level 10 rush to Cyrodiil pessing L, selecting Below leve 50 campaign, do "welcome to Cyrodiil tutorial" (not skipping it) to unlock Assault and Support skill lines and 2 skillpoints and spare one of these to unlock Rapid Maneuvers. Rapid maneuvers is invaluable for riding the newbies' annoyongly slow horse. This is not anyhow taught in the game, but is quite important timesaver for a total newbie. Also: provisioning recipes for dailies are sold by Chef and Brewer. Potence runes are available at enchanter (near daily writs crafting stations) Spending 1 SP for alchemy keen eye and 1 SP for Trafiicker (ledgerdemein skill line) to double fencing limits (easy money) are good tips for new player too. Respect, HTM! what a nice job you are doing.

Something I learned recently that would have been nice to know sooner is the difference between magic and physical damage. Or rather what counts as what. Like disease and poison damage are physical and scale off your stamina. But elemental damage scales off magica.

Most useful ESO video I have seen to date (and I've watched quite a few). Well Done! Thank you.

10:03 did not know that, Great video! Also, teleporting to another player is free as opposed to just teleporting to a wayshrine!

Bro, almost all the tips i already know it by playing, dieying and play again, and for experency. I wish i could saw this video before. Also i didnt know the zones for beginers, ty Hack.

Starter zone....so much this. Surprised that ZOS did not explain this after so many years.... really. It also helps immersion if you follow the story, as it was intended, and unravel the story.

Played this game YEARS ago when it first came out, on xbox one. Haven't touched it since vanilla, but currently going back to it on PC. These tips have refreshed my mind A LOT. Keep it up man! Subscribed.

Having the quest journal cap is pretty annoying, especially when I go to pick up the daily writ quests. However! ... having the cap at 25 helps me because if there wasn't a cap, my quest log would be a mess its like a reminder that I have aome quests to finish b4 starting a new one 🙃 I have a habit of not finishing or putting off quests for later and then never actually get around to them because I have been distracted by something else or a new quest lmao.

I'd love just an in depth run down of the whole settings menu. Tons of stuff in there that is super useful, never mentioned, and not really labeled in a way that's intuitive or obvious. For example, "enemy brightness" can make WAY MORE VISIBLE the red areas you don't want to stand in. Prevent Attacking Innocents is a nice one to have on. Auto/quick casting targeted spells is another if that's your thing.

Great video, thank you for sharing! What I like to do for the horse riding lessons; I load 5 first lessons into stamina, then some into speed, then carrying capacity [the last one is especially useful if you don't have ESO+ craft bag] I prioritize stamina because with its increase I can endure more hits before being dismounted, which is really useful if I'm in a hurry and running through the wilderness, not wanting to fight some mobs. 5 points is enough to get me away from pretty much anything on a normal sprint, even without the speed upgrade.

Just started playing again this past weekend. The video taught me a bunch of stuff I didn’t know thank you!!

I think joining the fighters guild and mages guild right away is also important.Many stamina builds will include fighters guild abilities and it levels by killing monsters like Vampires and werewolves.

I always hated that the game throws you into a new "starting" location with every DLC because I like my playthroughs in a somewhat chronological order. If you want to play the main storyline, you specifcally have to travel to Vulkhel Guard (Aldmeri), Daggerfall (... Daggerfall) or Davons Watch (Ebonheart) and look for a hooded figure who then proceeds to throw you into the original Coldharbour tutorial that starts the main story. At least it was that way last time I made a charakter when Elsweyr was released, hope I'm not mistaken now.

This was a pure wholesome guide for me and I can’t thank you enough for it did not know I can rearrange the skills and stats (first ever build I made mistakes) so that’s greatly appreciated you god damn chad of a human being! 🙏🏻

Well made video and really at a great timing for me as I've just begun on my ESO adventure. I just wish you had posted this video 3 days ago as some of the things I had to search half the web for :)

I don't know why we can't chose the starting location when we create a new character...

For starter zones use the wayshrine to your first faction city. It starts up the main quest line that will drop you into the starter zone.

I've been actively playing for a year and a half, and this video taught me a lot. Most importantly, that it's my basic attacks that charge my ultimate, not just participating in fights! Wow! Just... Wow!

I actually didn't know about being able to zoom out the camera till I had been playing the game for 2-3 years. It's amazing how much easier dungeons got when you can actually see the aoe attacks.

Also remember by pressing and holding the right thumbstick/mouse button while you have an enemy highlighted by your cursor will result in marking the enemy so you can see them even when they are standing behind things. This allows you to focus on the enemy you need to take down first especially in trails

Hey man I wanted to give a shout out to you and say thank you so much for this video I cannot tell you how much it has helped me...wow thanks very much

Im just starting out ESO now and this video was immensely helpful! Thank you

Just hit level 50. Learned a couple new things here. Thank you!

I didn’t know light/med/heavy attacks generated a lil ultimate lol, thanks Hack

Just started playing this today - a little overwhelming but loving the feel of the game so far!

Just stumbled on your videos. Wish I had this video available about 2 years ago when I first tried ESO. I quit probably 20 hours into the game and haven’t bothered since. You have changed my mind with this tips video

Been playing ESO since beta and there are some basic things in this video that I did not know. Great video, good for everyone, new or experienced.

FYI Dodge rolling on PC is done by Double-tapping in a direction by default, though I would recommend changing it to be a button press to make it more reliable.

Thanks minotaur I learned something, didn't know basic attacks gave you an invisible buff. He forgot to mention that dodging breaks immobilize.

Even being a veteran in this game i appreciate a lot this kind of videos, because as you said, it shows a lot of useful tips the game itself doesn't teach you. This way new players will have a much better experience. Thank you for contributing to the community!

What an excellent guide, good work HTM, look forward to Pt.2

Didn't know ZOS was tossing new players into the dlc zones after the tutorial. That is why I'm seeing all those low level folks roaming around. I was always thinking that they were veteran alts that knew something I didn't, so that's why they were so early on those zones.

Played eso for hundreds of hours, didn’t know about 2set piece with two-handed. Thanks.

I haven't finished the video yet so idk if this was mentioned but zone chat is usually incredibly helpful if you have any questions and you can even get some services if you're willing to spend a little gold.

Oh wow that heavy attack tip made my day, been trying to solo dungeons and my main problem was running out of stamina to sustain my hp and dots, thank you a lot for the video!

Who's also here who knows everything about the game yet watch it for fun because you're bored?

I'm a new player and this video was very helpful. Understanding more of the game mechanics will make eso SO much more enjoyable. Thank you.

I love your videos man! Thank you for this, keep doing you! I just learnt a game-changer the other day. If you put your crosshairs on an NPC and hold down right thumbstick it highlights them so you can see them through walls. It's especially helpful for sneaky characters.

How about the menu settings? Like health, Stam percentage/numbers and buffs, debuffs to be set for always show, along with ultimate in numbers. I think all of these are fairly important to use or at least know about xD and there's a lot of people who don't know you can do these things

I keep watching this videos even though I don't own the game. Hopefully I can buy it at summer sale. Cheers!

I just started the game a week ago, and this list of beginner videos you put together is awesome. I am sure I would have quit the game in frustration had I not found this list.

Really great stuff! Picked up most of these (slowly) over the six weeks or so since starting, but completely missed that two handed weapons count double in an item set - that is going to make a big difference to my item set planning! Also thanks for clarifying the difference between dodge/roll and block! I had thought that I must be mistiming dodge/roll, because it works totally differently to how it works in Guild Wars 2 (where rolling always stops damage). I've been having some problems in dungeons understanding how to mitigate damage from bosses and seem to get one shotted some times, judging by the post mortem reports (in normal random dungeons). And I can't quite figure out what is happening. Obviously red circles are not good - but it would be really useful if you could do a video on the different damage indicators in the game and how to counter them - the open world (including delves and public dungeons) is a bit of a cakewalk, but group dungeons (some of them) and world bosses do need some mechanics, I think - and I'd like to try the harder, veteran, content soon.

I just started playing & walked into a trial. Me, "Oh cool, a test of some kind!" Game, "ah yes, more fresh meat for the grinder..."

Im gonna start eso tommorow ive been procrastinating of like half a year

good guide, i watched a few "beginner guides" today and a lot are super simple things everyone who has played a mmo or rpg before would know already. This guide was a lot more informative and the tips are very useful, good job! One thing I learned from one of the simple guides that was not in this video is that "mundus stones" are a thing. Stones you find in the wilderness that give your character a permanent buff when used.

Isnt it better for beginner not to travet to starter zone, but to trigger main quest with Cold Harbour? It will give some understanding of the main quest line and then drop to the starter zone. It the very-very start of the game. And also for me not taking prologue quests, though it is very hard, until you finish main quest is a good tip. a) if you do prologues first then it my be very hard to undertand what's going on in that world and why people don`t recognize you XD b) taking (and not doing) Elsweyr prologue blocks main quest line (maybe they fixed it with Graymoor, but I doubt)

You probably should have gotten into the game settings a bit. Like Prevent attacking innocents, buffs, HUD chat On(for console players), and a few of the other important ones. A lot of new players dont even know that the options exist.

I just started playing and this guide helped me so much. Thanks!

Thanks! The tip about two-handed weapons counting as two pieces for a set just blew my mind! lol

All this time playing battleground I just found out there’s a quest.

Charge your weapon. It’s giving me anxiety

Great guide 😏.First I do check the settings options and set them how is more convenient for me.,then I loot everything for find any armore ,chose the type of the armore as: light,medium and heavy for grind the passives skills on each armore set.With weapon I chose what I should use for grind the skill line aswell,plus skills.

I posted this as a comment down below but it ties into starting zones, depends on your faction, I can give you dc because I have done it a bazillion times. But you will start out on a small island when you follow that quest it will take you to the next zone. These three islands are Bleakrock, Stros M'kai (sorry for spelling), and Khenarthis Roost. These will depend on your alliance so it will vary in that respect but past the one Tamriel, you can go to either one and start each story. I would suggest starting with your base faction and doing the MAIN story (Harborage/Cold Harbor) at the same time because then in the end it will take you to the other factions in the story and it ties in better with the story that way.

1:26 - *IF* the new player bought the expansion... or *IF* the new player has an ESO+ subscription. I'm not 100% sure what comes with the base game these days, I know Vvardenfell is now a DLC and included in ESO+ but I think failing that you start out in a starter zone after you escape cold harbor. Even with ESO+ Vvardefell is pretty new player friendly. Rather than wayshrining to these starting zones, they should go to see the hooded figure. /shrug - all in all it is a piss poor set up by the devs.

Im CP 700 and didnt actually know only my standard attacks generate ultimate! The more you know!

Amazing! I've played through all the dlc so far but never really ground a character past level 20 ish so these tips were super helpful for getting me back into the mechanics 😁

This was super helpful! Thank you 😊 🙌🏼

Not only is it frusterating but it's also frustrating.

I think the biggest takeaway with the lack of details ingame is the fun of discovery.

Very helpful! Started playing this today :)

Man THANK YOU! I've been looking for this kind of info, helped alot

"A new server"? is there not only 2?

Thank you so much, this helped me a lot! I noticed some of these things, but I didn't know who to ask about it, for example recharging ultimate.

Huge help. Answers so many questions.

Great tut brother, I watched your beginner guide when I first started playing 2 months ago ,and still learnt a lot from watching this guide . love your content 💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯 new sub for fr

I never knew about the starter zones, I wondered why I was getting wrecked over and over and losing interest, thankyou this will help

Great video! I'd add a few more things. Maybe a follow up video? Also lots of other great ideas in the comments! 1) Skill Leveling: The fact that there is a difference between the skill line, the specific skill and skill morphs is critical to creating the build you want. 2) Armor Leveling: To echo another comment add armor leveling. You must equip THREE pieces of each weight of armor to open the skill line but afterwards you only need to keep one piece of a particular armor weight equipped to continue leveling that armor skill line. Also more pieces of a particular armor worn = faster leveling that armor skill line. 3) Travel to Player: Join a big guild just so you can travel to guild members who are in a zone you have not been to yet. Really saves time. Open guild tab, go to the guild roster, find somebody in the zone you want to travel to, right click and choose Travel to Player. Free teleports ;-) 4) No Auction House: There is no central auction house. If you are shopping for rare or expensive items you will want to visit player traders located in each of the major cities of each zone. This is a big deal if you are transitioning from WoW or other games with a central economy. 5) Crafting for gold: Doing daily crafting writs is a great way to make some fast gold when just starting out.

Thx for the video....I play now active since more then a year, but I learned today the thing with the ultimate points and also didn´t know that more magika is more dmg.

I've been playing a while and I knew but didn't know a couple of those. Nice job, thx

Holy crap this video is awesome. Been playing ESO for quite awhile now and there were some tips in here that will help....THANKS

I just started this week im so glad I found this. Wow!
