Dark Anchors, and the Daily Endeavor?

DP99

I didn't put this as a bug report, because I don't know if it's a bug or not, but something strange happened when I went to do Dark Anchors today.

One of the Daily Endeavors is to "Destroy 1 Dark Anchor."

Ok, fine, but instead of just going to any random one and waiting for it to spawn and completing it, I decided to go to Elden Root and pick up a daily quest from the Fighters Guild to do it.

Well, I go the quest from the woman there, and she sent me to the Alkir Desert to take care of the ones there.

Usually, it makes you three of them, which ones don't matter, but I usually do all three just for variety.

However, today, I just did one, and it said to report back to her as if I was done, I didn't have to even worry about doing two more.

Is this a glitch? Does it have something to do with the Daily Endeavor overwriting the usual daily quest?

Neither, working as intended, they dropped it to 1 in U39.

This. They changed it so both the dark anchor and the abyssal geysers require only one, down from three.

I thought that might be it as well, but I never saw that update.

That's nice that it makes it go quicker now, but it also makes it too easy.

Kind of a shame.

thanks.

yeah. it was really not difficult to do all 3 anchors in a row. was nice and predictable. didn't need to be dropped.

I'm glad it dropped. It was unnecessarily time consuming imo. I don't think it really made it more difficult because it's not like subsequent ones got harder and introduced new challenges. It just took longer

Greetings,

After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic, as it's asking the community for assistance.

Thank you for your understanding

I agree, one anchor is clearly enough, no need for enforced repetition.

Additionally everyone is free to go for all 3 anchors before completing the quest while getting the exact same reward as before: 3x anchor loot + 1x fighter's guild box.

It's just not needed anymore to do more anchors, not forbidden.

Yeah, I think it's nice that players who are short on time can get it done quicker now, but I still prefer to do all 3 anyway.

if i got a fighters guild quest for alikr, i certainly would not do each individual dolmen, i would just camp 1 single dolmen 3x lol

for other less-farmed zones i would just go to the active dolmen because waiting on 1 dolmen would take way too long

They also reduced the number of dragons in Northern and Southern Elsweyr from 3 to 1 for the daily quest.
