Over the past few weeks, there has been growing frustration with a change implemented by Zenimax Online Studios that changed the maintenance time to be mere minutes after the Guild Trader “Flip” time. Play2WinTV recently featured the issue on their podcast number 56. Each week those interested in hiring a guild trader, submit bids to the guild trader […]

NightWolf_2112 on the official forums asks the question: I am just curious to see how many crafters out there really live on the edge or are you not that adventurous and will be sure (100%) they will succeed! I am not very risk adverse and most of the time use the maximum number of improvement items to

This week in the official (crafting) forums, there was a post by Reorx Holybeard who had gathered hireling statistics over 155 days. While the math isn’t perfect, I was interested on the method used.

On the official forums, a fellow crafter, posted a checklist for the non-crafters to combat vague order requests and wasteful delays obtaining the necessary information from buyers. Others have taken this post to vent their frustration on other topics like clients expecting the items crafting with the crafter’s mats for free and meager tips. My

In a recent @ElderScrollsOTR broadcast featuring Rich Lambert, he talks about OneTamriel and the question about harvesting nodes was raised (28:30). The nodes will scale like the battle-levelled zones. https://youtu.be/h9flYii2AQw?t=28m31s Resource nodes that spawn in battle leveled zones (such as Orsinium or the Gold Coast) now come in two varieties and provide crafting resources based

The Shadows of the Hist update to be released later this year will introduce a change to the materials needed to complete the top tier writs. The top tier of durable Crafting Writs (Blacksmithing, Woodworking, and Clothier) now require only the top tier of material. There are some concerns about this change. The most notable is
