Hi everyone,
After a break from the news last week I'm back with a roundup of everything going on.
Trader
Back with our usual trader in Ebonheart, still a great trading spot, so keep those slots full and don't forget to scan the trader after listing your items.
Duelling
Winner: Inwe, 2nd Matt, 3rd Vinny. Thanks to everyone who took part, it was great fun.
Promotions Congratulations to Teachersleight on achieving the unbelievable milestone of 3000 events with SRS since November 21st last year. Teach has done over half of every event we've played in the last year.
The achievement for reaching this incredible point with the guild is called Tamriel's Luminary and is currently as high as you can get with SRS. It was expected that this would never be reached by the average player, and only those dedicated players who play daily could possibly reach this in 2-3 years at the earliest.
Teach wins a massive 3 million gold and, in total, has received 6.6 million gold from the achievements program.
Well done, Teach, now go and take a rest, you earned it! Congratulations to Le_Shik on achieving the Event Dabbler Achievement for completing 100 events. Reward 100K gold. Congratulations to Bradagh on reaching the SRS Adventurer Achievement and the promotion to that rank.
Congratulations to KasaGaming on becoming a Paladin, and thank you for
supporting the guild Kasa and thanks to all other Paladins.
Black Friday Sale
The various DLCs are on sale, and for some of you, this is a great time to get the content pass for 2025. Access to the new Trial and all of Solstice for about £15, which is a 67% reduction. At this price, I highly recommend this purchase lest you be locked out of some of the events we do. Sadly, Crowns are not on sale, but seeing as how most of the stuff in the Crown store is somewhat lacklustre, that's no big loss. The next Crown sale will most likely be at Christmas, so hold back your purchase until then to receive a 40% reduction in prices.
8000 seals coming your way Due to the mess around the Writhing Wall event, ZOS have apologised and has offered a surprisingly good compensation package in the form of 8000 seals of endeavour. These will be claimable on December the first from the daily log in, so if you do nothing else in December, don't forget to at least log in once and claim this valuable reward. The game director, Nick Giacomini, set out an apology and explanation in the post linked below: "We know that the Writhing Wall event has been disappointing for many of our players, and that you were looking forward to experiencing Phase 3 and the Writhing Fortress. This event has not met the quality standards you expect and deserve from us, and it certainly hasn’t been the experience we wanted to give you. For that, I’d like to sincerely apologize.
We understand that an apology only goes so far, so we wanted to share what we’re doing to address this."
Great Lead Available from Filer Ool I don't normally comment too much on mythic leads, but for the Arcanist, the Velothi Ur-Mage Amulet is a crucial mythic to get. One of the leads for that is the Gold Shalk Clasp, and man, it's frustrating to try and get. It comes from the Scriveners Hall Dungeon Trophy room, if you are lucky! Well, you can get this lead from Filer Ool in the infinite archive, but only until next Tuesday. So if you are after this mythic, it costs 5000 archival fortunes, which you may already have, but it is at least a lot easier to farm than Scriveners Hall.
New builds this week:
This is my 110K+ Dual-Wield Dragon Knight build. It's freaking awesome to play. I say 110K+ because if the game wasn't continually misfiring, I could definitely add 5K, and if I were using a Dark Elf instead of a Nord, I could add another 5K, so it has the potential for 120K. If you fancy this kind of build, then check it out in the build section, click the button below.
Raffle
The raffle this week was won by me!!! YAY, Of course, the 625K winnings went straight back into the guild bank. Thanks for taking part everyone who bought a ticket. Just think if we all bought 50 tickets that would be over 200 million gold, 100 M to the winner for a 500K outlay and 100 M to the guild, we could up our trader and have even more fantastic rewards. So don't forget to buy a ticket, whether that be 50 or just 1; every ticket helps.
Catch the Clown Competition
There are still a few days left to enter this competition, which is featured in our Discord competitions channel. Have a go, it's a lot of fun and not too difficult.
Trailer Tamriel
Finally, for this week, head on over to Suno.com to listen to Teach's latest masterpiece, it's all about characters from Tamriel living in a trailer park, and is absolutely hilarious, nice one, Teach!
GZ on the raffle Matt... The house always wins... 😂
