Yeah, that sounds pretty normal. It’s one of the slowest skill lines to level, and I still remember how long it took for me to get the Meteor ultimate the first time I was doing it. However, there are a couple of ways to make it faster. Firstly, look up a NPC called Alvur Baren in your alliance capital’s (Wayrest/Mournhold/Elden Root) guild hall. He provides a repeatable daily quest which also progresses the Mages Guild skill line. There’s a similar NPC for Fighters Guild and Undaunted as well, should you need them. Secondly, if you have trouble locating lorebooks there’s a popular addon that marks them on your map. Personally I’ve been using this one pretty much ever since it was released… :’) Hope that helps with your progress!

NPC traders pay ridiculously little for most items, and some things that are worth zero gold for an NPC could be worth thousands when sold to another player. You could always try to steal things (preferably green quality or above) and fence them for a profit, but it’s not a very fast way to make money (since you can only fence a certain number of items per day). It’s a nice way to make some extra gold for your characters, but I wouldn’t recommend it as a main source of income.

Moi! :) Servers are offline as I’m typing this (14:40 Finnish time), but I’m pretty sure they’re going to add free crates to people’s accounts during this ongoing maintenance. So, I imagine we’ll get our new stuff later this evening!

At any given time you can have one item active in each subcategory (hats, hairstyles, facial hair, facial accessories etc.) so it’s relatively easy to mix and match things to create the look you like.It’s also worth noting that once you buy a style parlor item it will be unlocked for all characters on that server, so any of your current (or future) characters will have access to those hairstyles and costumes as well.

Oh no, I’m sorry to hear that! As far as I understand the game has to be downloaded pretty much at one go (you can pause the download for a time being, yes, but I think it resets the process if you shut your computer?), and since the game is huge it’s going to take forever to do so. Last time I installed it to my new computer it took me around 8 hours and I still had to run Repair before I could get into the game. I don’t know how to help with this, really, other than trying to download and install the game somewhere with less data restrictions. That’s a seriously sucky situation. :(

It’s an expansion pack for The Elder Scrolls Online, so you need to have the base game in order to play it. As far as I understand Morrowind will work much like previous DLCs, so once the expansion is purchased and the code redeemed you’ll have a new accessible area in your game. The main difference seems to be that it’s a bigger installment than anything they’ve released before. Here’s their pre-order FAQ that explains the whole deal a bit more.

Most mats drop from normal harvesting nodes. So, you get regulus from ore, heartwood from lumber, fibrous plants can give you bast, alchemy ingredients naturally drop alchemical resin, and mundane runes come from runestones. Also, killing beasts now has a chance to drop clean pelts, another ingredient used in many clothing patterns. Personally, decorative wax was the hardest one for me because it took me a while to realize you get it from looting provisioning crates and sacks and whatnot. And you need so much of that for so many furniture recipes... D:

No, it’s not free. It’s not a DLC, really, but an expansion pack which is a much bigger installment than anything they’ve released before. The standard digital upgrade is the most cost efficient choice for those who already own The Elder Scrolls Online - the price is about 40€. Any version with “collector’s edition” in it is obivously more expensive since they include some exclusive extra items which are nice and shiny, but by no means necessary. There are also versions that include both the base game and the expansion, naturally intended for new players who do not own the game yet.
