MiscEdit

Named spawns in dungeons

300 sec respawn time
Much faster respawn time (<30 sec) if someone enters area that hasn't killed it

Good Hunting Grounds

Chests

Kenarthi's Roost -- At least the VR1 version of it seems to have a huge amount of chests compared to any other area found so far
Grahtwood -- The west of the zone around Reman's Bluff has a lot of chest spawns in easily accessible areas.
Malabal Tor -- In the Tomb of the Apostates dungeon there are 2 chests with 10 spawn locations which are relatively easy to access. This permits as much one chest per minute.

Resources

Along the river SouthWest of the Wind Keep Wayshrine in Stormhaven. Has a variety of all node types (runes in particular) in a small area with minimal aggressive mobs. Also includes one chest and one special event spawn.

Runes

Stormhaven - Along the river SouthWest of the Wind Keep Wayshrine (see note above).
Bangkorai - Along the river/water in the West/SW. Also includes a variety of other resource nodes and several chests.

Resource Node and Chest Spawn NotesEdit

A few observations and theories on resource node and chest spawning:

Mostly Certain

There are a set number of node spawns in a zone.
Each spawn point is for a specific resource type and will only have that resource spawn there. For example, an ore node will only ever have ore.
For ore/wood/cloth spawns there is a small chance (~10%) for the next tier's material to show up.
Nodes and chests can spawn right in front you.
A specific node can respawn immediately after harvested (though rarely).
Chest spawns in dungeons (at least Tomb of the Apostates) have a 2 minute respawn time.
Dungeons can have 1 or 2 chest spawns at a time (2 confirmed in Tomb of the Apostates).
Chest spawns in dungeons are completely random with no discernible pattern.

Less Certain

Only one resource will spawn at a particular node at one time. I have seen two specific nodes in Coldharbour with two resources on it at the same time but I'm guessing this is simply two spawn nodes at the same location. There are also several nodes in a variety of zones that are very close to each other (i.e., less than 1 m).
Enchanting nodes have roughly an equal? distribution among their three types.
Alchemy nodes spawn according to some distribution of the reagent types. Certain types of reagents are significant rarer (e.g., Stinkhorn) especially in the lower level zones. Certain nodes seem to spawn these rare reagents more often.

Mostly Guess

There are a set number of node spawn locations for each type in a zone and a set number of resource nodes that are randomly placed at these locations. When a node is harvested/mined/collected it reappears at a random empty spawn location after a short period (~30 seconds).
Chests and heavy sacks appear to use a very similar respawn mechanism.
Chests my have an instant respawn...I've seen several chests reappear immediately at a nearby spawn after looting a chest (though it could also just be coincidence).
It may be possible that the zone is split up into smaller areas that the node spawns are confined to (i.e., when a node respawns it chooses an spawn location in the local area instead of the entire zone) but this is difficult/impossible to check in a MMO environment.

In-Game TimeEdit

There is no API function available to get the in-game date/time (as of the 1.1.2 patch).
Rough estimates show the in-game day to be around real 21000 seconds (5.83 hours, 5:50:00).
Finer in-game time estimates can be performed by looking at the shadow angle and assuming that at noon in-game the shadows should be perfectly North-to-South (heading of 0 degrees).
Sunrise appears to be around 04:00 based on when the first time the sun can be seen.
Sunset appears to be 20:50 (20.79) based on the last time when the sun can be seen.
This gives the daylight length to be 16.8 game hours (4.1 real hours).
Evening environment sounds (crickets) starts at 18:00.
The sun's shadow exists at night although it is significantly less obvious. It doesn't disappear right after sunset but slowly fades.
The sun's angle above the horizon can be estimated by measuring the length of a shadow compared to the length of the object that casts it (e.g., the character). This results in around 66 degrees which corresponds to a latitude of 0 degrees (on Earth anyways: 0-23-66=1).
Unsure if the in-game time is continuous with the real time or if it only advances when the servers are actually running. There appears to be some evidence that the game time does not advance while the servers are down for maintenance which makes the real to game time calculation much more difficult.
Unsure if the different servers (NA/EU, PC/Console) run identical game times but likely they don't.
The in-game time can be estimated by measuring the horizontal angle (looking at it from above) of an object's shadow. Basic calculation walk-through is below:

     Sun's rotation plane is 66.7 degrees from the horizon (turns out not to be relevant for using shadow angle)
     Sun rotates 360 degrees / game day
                  15 degrees / game hour
                0.25 degrees / game minute
     With the camera/view looking down over an object measure its angle relative to North
            - Zoom fully out in third person and move to maximum vertical position over character
            - Move towards the North
            - Check with /loc your heading (or use "/uesptime calibrate")
            - Adjust orientation and repeat until angle is near 0 degrees
            - Alternatively, record heading with /loc and add to measured shadow angle
            - Take screenshot of object's shadow
            - In an external application (e.g. Inkscape) measure the shadow angle
            - Angle should be 0 degrees when the shadow is facing perfectly North and increasing clockwise (this is backwards to the game headings)
     Approximate game time from the angle can be computed via:

           GameTime = ((Angle * 24 / 360 + 12) mod 24

Some known game times with angle measurements for accurate time estimates (from NA PC server):

Sample #1:
     Time Stamp = 1399133820 
     Approximate Game Time = Noon
     Shadow Angle = 0.73 degrees
     Game Time Estimate = 12:03

Sample #2:
     Time Stamp = 1401041076 
     Approximate Game Time = Noon
     Shadow Angle = 7.9 degrees
     Game Time Estimate = 12:32

Sample #3:
     Time Stamp = 1401061920
     Approximate Game Time = Noon
     Shadow Angle = 3.0 degrees
     Game Time Estimate = 12:12

Sample #4:
     Time Stamp = 1401110590
     Approximate Game Time = 8 pm (sunset)
     Shadow Angle = 131.9 degrees
     Game Time Estimate = 20:48

Sample #5:
     Time Stamp = 1435838770 (8:11 2 July 2015)
     Moon Phase = Full Moon

Sample #6:
     Time Stamp = 1438352285 (14:20 31 July 2015)
     Moon Phase = Full Moon (0.5)     

Sample #7:
     Time Stamp = 1440087745 (12:26 20 Aug 2015)
     Approximate Game Time = 9 pm
     Moon Phase = Slightly Waxing Gibbous past First Quarter (0.3-0.35)

MNF/Data ExtractionEdit

Run the Windows command line EsoExtractData program on the game with the following format (or similar, modify input/output paths as needed):

    EsoExtractData "The Elder Scrolls Online\depot\eso.mnf"         esoexport\esomnf\     -z esoexport\esomnf\zosft.txt     -m esoexport\esomnf\mnf.txt
    EsoExtractData "The Elder Scrolls Online\game\client\game.mnf"  esoexport\gamemnf\    -z esoexport\gamemnf\zosft.txt    -m esoexport\gamemnf\mnf.txt
    EsoExtractData "The Elder Scrolls Online\vo_en\esoaudioen.mnf"  esoexport\esoaudioen\ -z esoexport\esoaudioen\zosft.txt -m esoexport\esoaudioen\mnf.txt

Convert all DDS images to PNG using the ConvertDDS.bat included with EsoExtractData:

    convertdds.bat esoexport\esomnf\
    convertdds.bat esoexport\gamemnf\

Run SplitIcons.sh to split the eosui/art/icons/* files into multiple folders.
Run CropLoadScreens.sh to properly crop the loading screen images.
Run RenameTreasureMaps.sh to remove the leading treasure part of the filename.
Maps

Run EsoCombineMaps.py to combine the map tiles into one image per zone. Some maps may not combine automatically.
Run CreateEsoMapTiles.py to split the combined maps into the appropriate 256x256 tiles for zoom levels 10 and less.
Run CreateEsoMapTileZoom11.py to create zoom level 11 for all ESO maps from the zoom 10 images.
