Aw, Giblets is cuter than the Skyrim dogs. I hope he's quieter too.

But just like Skyrim, they could use some more models.
Giblets looks surprisingly similar to another questy dog, Rexus. And also Horker, that woman's pet in Davon's Watch.

About time!

 

As you can see from the quest info at the top I still needed one more. But there was another growing just off screen to the left.
But someone else grabbed it before I did.
The consequences of walking slowly everywhere.
There was more nearby so it didn't matter but I did have to travel all the way back to Dhalmora to find them. It seems like a good spot for picking up goodies cos I repeatedly saw a few people racing around the same places trying to "farm" the materials.
And once I returned through the wayshrine this person followed me around for aaages...
 
Look at him pretending to look the other way.
After a long, long time he finally whispered, "do you want something crafting?"

You've just watched me slowly walk from the crafting stations all the way to the quartermasters and back THREE times! I'm clearly doing the daily writs like everyone else round here!
Of course I didn't whisper that back at him.
I'm still not sure how to whisper. It's probably in that social Interact menu that I never use.

Anyway I got over a grand from my three jobs and I think tomorrow's login reward is 5k too, all of which is much needed after my earlier bank charges.

What's that thing behind you that looks like a cross between a khajiit and a skeever?

It was the guy's pet. I think it's a type of Scamp called a Volatile Familiar.
All the higher level players have numerous pets and companions that follow them around. Sometimes it's rare to see a player on their own. It was confusing at first cos a lot of the combat familiars look like something you should be fighting against if you see them out in the open but after a while you get used to the idea of waiting in the bank behind three bears, two clannfears, a dinosaur, a glowing flying book and a large winged flapping thing next to your head.
I've seen a surprising number of mini mammoths recently so there must have been some kind of sale/discount on those. I did have the chance to get a free dwemer-style spider with fiery feet if I signed up for an email newsletter thing but I didn't like the look of it so I'm still one of those sad players on their own.

Seems my stormcloak game has been entirely botched. Well, maybe I can find a really old save that works.

(I had some mod issues a couple of days ago and thought I had fixed it, but... seems some files were broken. Funny how it's never every file after a certain point? )

Edit: Lost 4 levels, but oh well

Yep, just another day at the bank.

And yes, that's another outfit too. And I've just dyed it so that it looks different again.
So after finally finding the corn flower to finish that alchemy job I pulled another writ from the board and part of it said...
"Find three corn flower."


Back to Dhalmora on the horse! And quickly!
This time I stayed there and joined in the farming run as about seven recognisable people (including me) raced around a certain area hoping that certain plants would spawn and grow as certain people arrived. I did get the necessary corn flower this time but it did take a bit of patience and during that time I also managed to wield my axe and acquire an impressive amount of maple! And I found a chest too. Profitable day.
After completing this job and delivering the goods I was rewarded with a little alchemy bundle and when I opened it it contained... three corn flower!
To the bank with you!

Pesky terrorists in Death Stranding.
But a big thank you to whoever built that zipline I escaped on. Absolute life saver.
Shame I didn't have time to offer a big thumbs up/LIKE but I had to get out of there quick and I can't do all that AND remember which button I have to press for that.

And I got two unexpected music bits too.

I just watched a mudcrab take on two sabre cats and kill one of them before being killed by the other cat.

*claims the 6k gold daily login reward*

*immediately spends nearly 9k on more inventory slots*

*counts the days until the 25k login reward in September*

Quick edit. I've been killed by Skyrim's mudcrabs on more than one occasion.
They don't seem to be quite as territorial in ESO.
