Eso How To Become A Werewolf

Alright, friend, so you wanna ditch the whole boring mortal coil and embrace your inner beast? You're thinking about becoming a werewolf in The Elder Scrolls Online? Smart move! I mean, who doesn't want to howl at the moon, tear through enemies with razor-sharp claws, and occasionally get mistaken for a really, really hairy dog?

Seriously though, being a werewolf in ESO is pretty darn fun. And the good news is, it's not as complicated as crafting a legendary set, or understanding the nuances of Tamrielic politics. Let's get you transformed!

Getting Bitten: The Traditional (and Painful) Way

The "classic" method is to contract Sanies Lupinus, the delightful little disease that turns you into a furry friend. You can catch this from specific werewolf NPCs that spawn in certain zones. Think of it as a werewolf adoption program, but with more clawing and less paperwork.

These werewolves only spawn at night, usually in secluded areas. Here’s where you’ll find the hairy culprits:

• Bangkorai (Daggerfall Covenant)
• The Rift (Ebonheart Pact)
• Reaper's March (Aldmeri Dominion)

Head to these zones during the night (Tamrielic time, not your local time – unless you are actually in Tamriel… in which case, hi!). Look for packs of Werewolves – they’re typically roaming in designated areas. And here's the catch: they aren't always there! It can be a bit of a waiting game, so bring a good book or a friend to chat with (or sacrifice... joking! Mostly.).

Once you find them, let them attack you! Let them really give you a good scratching! That’s how you get the disease. After you’re infected, a quest will appear, guiding you on your path to lycanthropy. Don't panic if you accidentally kill the werewolf before it bites you. Just wait and they'll respawn. Persistence is key! (And maybe a few healing potions.)

The Guild Route: The Convenient (and Less Scratchy) Way

Don't fancy getting mauled by a random werewolf in the wilderness? I get it. You prefer your adventures to be less… toothy. The good news is there’s another way! If you know someone who is already a werewolf (and a nice one!), they can bite you and pass on the lovely gift of lycanthropy. Think of it as a chain letter, but with more fur.

Many guilds offer werewolf bites to their members. Check your guild’s roster or ask around in zone chat. Often, generous (and possibly slightly deranged) players are happy to share their affliction.

There's usually a small fee involved, which can range from a few thousand gold to a substantial amount, depending on the server and the generosity of the werewolf-donor. But it's usually far less hassle than hunting down elusive werewolf packs in the dead of night. Plus, you avoid the potential for awkward small talk with a feral beast.

The Crown Store: The Fastest (and Most Expensive) Way

Alright, so waiting around for werewolves, begging guildmates for bites... not your style? Fine. There's always the Crown Store! You can simply purchase the Werewolf skill line outright with Crowns, ESO's premium currency. It's the equivalent of saying, "I have money, I want to be a werewolf, now!"

Is it the most exciting way? Maybe not. But is it convenient? Absolutely. And hey, sometimes convenience trumps the whole "earning your stripes" thing. (Or in this case, earning your fur.)

Embracing the Beast: What to Do After You're Bitten

Okay, so you've got the disease! Congratulations! Now what? You need to complete the quest associated with the Sanies Lupinus affliction. This usually involves traveling to a specific location, interacting with an NPC, and generally doing werewolf-y things. Think of it as your werewolf initiation ceremony. Prepare for a bit of a transformation... it won't be pretty (at first!).

Once you complete the quest, you’ll unlock the Werewolf skill line. Now the real fun begins! Start leveling up those skills. You'll want to focus on abilities that increase your damage, survivability, and, of course, your howl! Because what’s a werewolf without a good, hearty howl?

Remember to feed! As a werewolf, you need to keep that hunger satisfied. Feast on fallen enemies to stay in werewolf form longer. No, you don't actually eat the other players, calm down. It’s just an in-game mechanic. (Though, I'm sure some players are tempting… just kidding! Mostly.)

So there you have it! Your guide to becoming a howling, clawing, fur-covered terror in The Elder Scrolls Online. It's a rewarding journey, and you'll unlock a whole new way to experience the game. Enjoy the power, embrace the beast, and try not to shed too much on the furniture.

Now go forth and show Tamriel what you're made of – or rather, what you've become! And remember, even a werewolf needs a friend. Happy howling!
