Morning folks,
As many know, 1.6 has been delayed, but there are several things you can do in preparation to ensure you get your maximum return and have the lowest chance of having issues:
1. Take anything out of your mail and store it on a character. Your mailbox is not a bank, as ZOS has pointed out to me in a few trouble tickets, and letting things sit in there makes it more likely it will be deleted over time or when a major patch happens. Don't be surprised if support refuses to restore your legendary items lost
2. Make sure you have 10 less items from a full inventory if you use a purchased pack horse. When we change to 1.6 your horses will be made into one mount With their trained stats converted. Stats from purchase, like the 10+ from a pack horse, will not. Others had random items deleted on PTS, so keep your items 10 below the max!
3. Make your vr5 food now or sell off ingredients. A lot of ingredients will be set to old when 1.6 hits. While we can't be certain some will remain that way after feedback, you can count on your food to be upgraded, so save yourself dome worry. Some notable items are things like "imperial _______" which cost 63 from grocers today will sell for 10 when set yo old. Also uncommon pepper, used in consummate honey brittle, will go old.
4. Screenshot or youtube your achievements. If you pride yourself as an achievement hunter and don't want to lose a particular dye or title, record it incase some get lost. Around 1.3/1.4 older players will remember some achievements were lost randomly, so Screenshot it to give support proof of your deeds!
5. Train 3 horses in one specific stat. As mentioned earlier the top 3 trained stats will be combined into a single riding skill, so you can train each Stat 3x faster today than tomorrow, when you can only train one at a time. This applies to mostly imperial edition players at this point, since only the one gold horse would be cost effective.
6. Store quests if you're getting your max CP on conversation. Storing quests simply mean to complete quests up till the final turning stage but not completing it. If your getting your max 70 champion points, because you have a vr14 or multiple VR characters, then storing these will give you a nice boost when 1.6 comes out. Even if all you do is grind, get some ready!
7. Store golden undaunted keys. This can be a pain, because they can't in the bank, but save these till 1.6. The drop rate on shoulders is increasing and the reinforced versions are gone.
8. Hold off on buying pvp coffers. There are VR 13 and vr14 versions coming in 1.6
9. Farm a few purple motifs and recipes. you don't know how hard farming will be, so get some and store some if you can. Prices will also probably go up with the buy to play release
10. Save some different gear. 1.6 changes a lot, so stop trashing your heavy armor or medium armor drops, some of that may be more powerful now for your play style.
11. Prepare to sneak and lockpick. Thieving is fun, save some lockpick and practice your sneaking. If you're not as sneaky as a khajiit or Nightblade look into the nightshade or nightmothers embrace dropped sets. These will reduce your detection radius.
12. Read the 1.6 patch notes! Things are constantly changing so hop over to the PTS forums to see what else has changed!
If anyone has any other items that should be added just post a reply. If it seems appropriate I'll toss it in.
I'll see most of you folks when 1.6 does come live and I'll try to get an updated highlight section on twitch and youtube for dungeons and other content as well. Have fun in the meantime =3.
