nightstrike✭✭✭✭✭The Pathfinder achievement is account-wide per server, but you can complete the achievement on more than one server. Players who already have the achievement can also help by assisting other players with traveling around the Systres, which will also help contribute to the end-goal.
This would be a good achievement to make character based.Warning: This signature is tiny!2 -

✭✭✭✭✭I find this event is going really well. I do a delve, WB and volcano daily each day. Though I usually don't care for events that group lots of players together (like kill delve or public dungeon bosses) the WB and volcano dailies here lend themselves to it since they can be challenging. Have had no problem with plenty of help on hand for the volcanoes and WBs in High Isles. And the double coffers are granting lots of overland pieces.Edited by AcadianPaladin on 30 September 2022 15:14PC NA(no Steam), PvE, mostly solo2 -

I did reload before submitting my post this AM. Perhaps I was too early for the update, but I think the 26% I saw was the same number reported on the Twitch stream. Another reload since your post does show the 41%. I had to switch browsers to show the updated progress bar matching the new %.
Thanks for the reply.

agelonestar✭✭✭✭✭@ZOS_Kevin I have a question.
The big reward for the community reaching 100% is that we all get the next DLC for free. However, all ESO+ subscribers are already paying for the DLC - that’s a core feature of our subscription.
Will ESO+ subscribers be rewarded in a different way? Or will we get some sort of discount on our subscription as this reward will have devalued it?
It’s not that I don’t appreciate the rewards - I genuinely love these community events and think they’re the best events in the game. But giving me something I have been paying for since 2014 (or whenever subscriptions started) feels a bit ridiculous.GM of Sunfire's Sect trading guild on PC/EU.

The drop rate is low enough that the claim is almost false advertising.PC

The gold companion jewelry is ONLY a reward in the box given at the end of the event. It does not drop anywhere.

One piece? Not as big of a deal, especially with 4 companions that need more. I thought it was to possibly be in many boxes.
ZOS usually has the "too many" or "too few" in these rewards and I think this event is more at the "too few" end of things.
I would greatly prefer a happy point in between. Even some regular purple jewelry would have helped make it more interesting. I don't mind patterns, but they are not that useful given the grind.PC

Anything you bought for cash (base game, Chapters, etc) is available on both servers. Anything you paid for with Crowns is server-specific.
It's free to create char on the the opposite server. One for each acct you have on your main server. You share crowns between them. Money... well, you start over on the other server. But it doesn't cost anything to get started. I did this for the Grand Psijic Villa and have been playing them since.1 -
FineFeathered✭✭✭@ZOS_Kevin @ZOS_GinaBruno I went to turn in the Tales of Tribute daily quest from playing others and it was not rewarding tickets... I thought the first daily in High Isle was supposed to grant tickets?
edit: it was Kishka's quest that I'm speaking of
Tales of Tribute is not counted as one of the dailies. The Volcanic vents, the delve and the world bosses are.1 -

I used to do the pathfinder achievement on multiple alts in previous years, including new alts and low levels who hadn’t done any exploring in the new zone yet. I felt as if I was contributing to my server accomplishing the group task.
I feel the same. The AWA has sort of ruined it for me.
You may have FELT that you were contributing, but you weren't. Only the first one. It's been that way for every one of these events. It's why I made my EU chars...so they could have another bite at the apple. But seriously, we need as many people as possible to participate, not just folks with lots of alts.

It's obviously not being counted as one for this event, however it has the blue quest marker of a daily and is repeatable only once per day -- hence it is in fact a daily quest and only available in High Isle.┌───────────────────────────────┐Author of Sunshine Daydream's Guide to Crafting└───────────────────────────────┘Is Uncle John's band calling you?

No, we don't. There's not a chance in hell that bar doesn't hit 100% because that would be the biggest marketing fail ever.
There's a reason it's not clear how many people need to get the achievement to reach 100%. If we would all log off for a week the bar will still continue moving.5 -

All that said..... these should be character achievements, and each achievement on each character should "contribute" to the total. The narrative I play in my own head would like that better

I am not sure what you are saying here, but buying a house with Crowns only gets it on the server you bought it. (Or gold for that matter.)PC

Oh, you meant something they gave away? That was just prior to when I started on ESO, and long before I moved to the PC.
Such items are VERY RARE as well so not really relevant.PC

The gold ring is nested deep within the reward box you buy from the Crown Store. Opening each box gives you the next level gold box and the ring is in the 6th and final gold box nested in this fashion.
P.S. All mine on various alt accounts have had the same trait, so it seems to be set as Quickened and only in that trait.┌───────────────────────────────┐Author of Sunshine Daydream's Guide to Crafting└───────────────────────────────┘Is Uncle John's band calling you?
