VR stands for Veteran Rank. (50 and vr1 are the same. Veteran ranks go until vr14)
Lakshmi, I believe the game is much more simpler then people sometime give it out to be, in their article and videos. In fact, you can make it as simple OR as complex as you wish it to be.
In reality, all classes can play the build of your choice. Do you wish to be a sorcerer wielding lighting and storm? A DragonKnight pulling mobs with fiery chains? A Nightblade leaping at your enemy from shadow? A templar throwing aedric spears at your foes and self healing along the way?
So, here is the main things to know for you to have an AWESOME WEEK-END OF ESO MADNESS!
1. Ebonheart Pact is the faction Gaiscioch is with.
2. Any race will do, really! (Yes, every race has bonuses specific to them, but every race is playable as any type of class, built, etc. )
3. Choose one of the 4 classes:
- Dragon Knight (Lots of fire based class skills, traditionally used as tank but can play any role you wish.)
- Sorcerer (Storm and lightning based class skills, as well as the ability to summon daedric pets to fight for you. Can do any role you wish.)
- Templar ( Light/Sun and healing based class skills, can play any role you wish.)
- Nightblade ( Shadow and health sapping based class skills, can play any role you wish.)
4. Once you start leveling, you can put the attributes wherever you wish, keeping in mind you will eventually need to compensate for some of the skills, with enchantments, food buffs, potions, etc.
5. Skill points: There is no wrong way to use them. The game contain enough through itself, but as a general advice, I would say to put the first few to unlock the 3 skill classes, as well as the fighter guild and mage guild (intimidation and persuasion).
6. You can use whatever armor you wish. The more pieces of one kind, the more a bonus you usually can get, once you put points in the armor skill tree.
7. Any weapon you wish to use is viable and will level up as you use it and keep it equipped to turn in quests.
8. Do NOT underestimate the power of blocking!
9. Raidcall always has players eager to help:), run groups or even one on one to help family members. Guild chat is awesome that way as well!
10. There is nothing but the alliance, race and base class, that is set in stone. Everything else can be modified as you wish along the way. Trust me, there is no need to over-think this. Just set yourself the goal, to get in the game to have fun! Cause trust me, IT IS alot of fun:)!
Anyhow, you know what is best for you, but I do hope to see you around:).
