Feb Golden Pursuit: can't finish solo?

There are four of the pursuits this month that require being grouped with someone. Why was this set up so it can't be done solo?

Taril✭✭✭✭✭It can be done solo.
The Infinite Archive works if you have a companion (It states this if you mouse over it). I ran it this morning with Zerith-var and got it done.21 -

✭✭✭✭✭Technically there's only 1 that requires you to be grouped with another player (Complete 10 Endeavors while Grouped), and 2 that require you to either be grouped with another player or have a companion out (Defeat 6 Cycle bosses in the Infinite Archive with a partner, and Complete 12 stages in the Infinite Archive with a partner), but yeah.

Yes, but it doesn't require you to be grouped with them. Granted, usually you'd be grouped with someone if you're going to revive them, but not always.

I think the main thing OP is concerned about is that it can't be done solo. So, it is worth noting it has a hard requirement of another player.11 -
UrQuan✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭
Yeah, agreed, it definitely relies on another player. If solo players don't want to try to find people to group with for it, though, they can go to Cyrodiil or Imperial City and look for fights where they can revive friendly players (which maybe isn't something they'd want to do, since a lot of people, especially solo players, don't really want to go into PVP-land), or ask around in places like Vivec City, where people often intentionally die so others can revive them for endeavors. Maybe not ideal, but also not totally out of reach for people who are solo players.spartaxoxo wrote: »spartaxoxo wrote: »Technically there's only 1 that requires you to be grouped with another player (Complete 10 Endeavors while Grouped), and 2 that require you to either be grouped with another player or have a companion out (Defeat 6 Cycle bosses in the Infinite Archive with a partner, and Complete 12 stages in the Infinite Archive with a partner), but yeah.

And also completely unnecessary as the pursuit and all rewards can be done without grouping.4 -
theskymoves✭✭✭✭If you have a companion to use in the Infinite Archive, you can clear the 12 activities required for all Pursuit items. It will take some patience (10 days to claim login rewards), but it can be done.
I don't group for anything or interact with other players at all, and I'm sitting on 10 pursuits completed, having run through the IA this morning with a companion. I'll just need to claim daily login rewards for eight more days to finish up the final two pursuits needed.7 -

I was originally wondering how much ZOS was going to charge for this golden pursuit. It is definitely more expensive than the last one. I expect that they will notch it up each time, though. The question is what is their clip level for how many people don't participate.XBox EU/NA:@ElsonsoJannus

✭✭✭It's sort of a Valentine's ish themed pursuit kinda. So pairing off (even with a companion) makes sense.
Also, I too look forward to the Mayhem themed pursuits...Edited by sarahthes on 6 February 2025 19:2110 -
OsUfi✭✭✭✭✭
✭For reference, this is a partners and couples themed pursuit that needs 12 objectives to complete for all items. There are 15 items on the list. I have marked the two that need another player. Even the Archive ones can be done with a companion, and can just be 12 runs of the first cycle. This is not challenging or impossible to complete as a solo player.

Yeah, this is probably the real reason for those pursuits that require either another player or a companion to complete. They're meant to be thematic.It's sort of a Valentine's ish themed pursuit kinda. So pairing off (even with a companion) makes sense.

Yes, I saw someone providing that service in Mournhold last night. Dying that is. And laying there to be revived even though he/she was the foot of the wayshrine. The method of suicide was unclear.

AcadianPaladin✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭No problem soloing it. Even as a non-vampire. I'll skip the revive, endeavors while grouped and feeding as a vampire and still get 12 of the needed 15 to finish the event. A fine Golden Pursuit in my opinion. . . well except for the crotch flapper on the motif chest piece.PC NA(no Steam), PvE, mostly solo5 -
freespirit✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭For the Vampire feeding 50 times one, find a Guildie or a friend who has the Thrall in their house.
I have and I did it earlier and timed it...... took just over 10 minutes.
I did feel quite sick afterwards though!!
When people say to me........

DenverRalphy✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Just the Endeavors task can't be done solo,
You don't have to be grouped to revive another player. I've revived players outside of my group from time to time. Granted, the chances of stumbling across enough dead corpses of rando players is pretty astronomical.

✭There are four of the pursuits this month that require being grouped with someone. Why was this set up so it can't be done solo?
This specific Golden Pursuit theme is around Love (Valentine's day). So while some definitely enjoy loving themselves (no judgement), typically love is meant to be shared with others
I think that's the reasoning behind this, pretty much

illutian✭✭✭It can be done solo.
The Infinite Archive works if you have a companion (It states this if you mouse over it). I ran it this morning with Zerith-var and got it done.
And...if you don't have access to IA or a Companion because you're still somewhere along Clockwork-era of progression?
Like I haven't played, regularly, for about 4 years.
This is a rather steep "unlock curve" for anyone returning because "hey, haven't played this in awhile".
...and I especially think it's a ***-poor decision to have one of the Pursuits force you to be a Vampire (or even a Werewolf for that matter).You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.4 -

VoxAdActa✭✭✭✭✭For the endeavors one, sneak into an Alik'r group by just saying x, y, or z in zone chat. Then go off wherever you need to go (other than Cyrodiil) and finish your endeavors, then leave the group.

Wiseau✭✭✭Maybe... because this is an MMO? Not that farfetched that you'd inevitably do something grouped up. Don't be antisocial, just ask someone in zone chat to group for like 10 seconds and do some endeavors. Besides, it's literally only one Golden Pursuit that requires grouping.1
