Yes, it was always going to end 7 days from the first clear of the Writhing Fortress on each server.

It seems that the original plan was to have the Pursuit end around the same time as the wall event, but the fact that they sped up Phase 2 meant we hit the Fortress sooner than anticipated, which means it is now over.

I seem to have missed this piece of information, do you remember where ZoS said that?

Phase 3: Fall of the Writhing Wall

The Writhing Wall is exposed, and it’s time to break through and clear the Writhing Fortress public instance. Unlike the other phases, which last a variable length of time depending on player successes and mobilization, the third phase lasts one week from when the Writhing Fortress is first completed on a given server, bringing the event to a close after that period.

So now we heave quests we can’t turn in?

Didnt they say somewhere that they will bring it back in January for who missed it once its stable and bugfree?

Thanks for the explaination guys.

I was puzzled as to why some of the daily job givers had disappered on my PC/PS5 and Xbox account.
I thought it was a bug!


The event has been memorable for all the wrong reasons...

They're only bringing back the Fortress, not the whole event.

Yeah thats what i meant...i dont think anyone cared about the rest of the event....

Came here to see if it was just me.

Another reason to hate this event and this Season Pass.

What a mess.

I managed to complete the golden pursuits today with the soul reaper devices ones. They are still spamming in northwestern reaper’s march and other locations. So if anyone is missing some pursuits, is a good option to finish them all

Those who don't have all the drops, because the quests went away, because the event ended earlier than it should have done, care.

Exactly! I'm still missing several Shards of Writhing Bone to complete the Caltrops skill style due to the abysmal drop rate. How am I supposed to get them now? Except by buying them from guild traders for exorbitant amounts of gold...

It would've been better if you could turn in quests you still have, but then not get any new ones. Instead, the game tells me to turn them in to the respective quest giver, with a beacon nonetheless, who is no longer there.

@ZOS_Kevin, do you have any suggestions?

The writhing bone fragments still drop. You can still do the siege camp dailies to get them. General Zasimba is still there in the camp handing out her daily quests. As well, they can also drop from the Siege Camp chests after killing the camp boss.

Yes, you need to abandon them.

I'm leaving my one remaining completed vitrified souls quest in my journal out of sheer spite. It's on a crafting alt, so it won't bother me to leave it there. Having all these different daily reset and event start/end times is hard enough to keep up with as it is. Having the SAME event end at different times depending upon what server you're on was just stupid as hell. I made the final quest turn-in on PC/NA with plenty of time to spare, only to hop onto PC/EU and discover I must've had the wrong end time there: all the temporary questgivers were gone, and left me no way to turn in the quest I had saved for the final day's gold box.

ZOS complains that their databases and resources are too dummy thicc with all the things we players hold onto (despite ZOS themselves creating and pushing for the use of systems that encourage such behavior). Well, suck it up, buttercup. That quest is staying in my alt's journal until you let me turn it in, or delete the data for it from the game. Fingers crossed they relent and bring back the questgivers for Writhing Fortress Part 2: Bugfest Boogaloo.

It's not like the event ended 3-4 weeks early. It was what... a few days? I hardly doubt that equates to adding months to the time to complete.

The fragments can still be acquired from not just the siege camp daily, but from the siege camp loot chests as well.

I got all my bone fragments inside of 4-5 days, all but perhaps 2 came from blue boxes or chests. Most of them came from the siege camp chests, and to a lesser extent the siege camp blue boxes. And if anybody needed that many boxes to get the rest, then the event ending early was hardly why they haven't completed it yet.

[edit] Besides which.. has any of the rewards from collecting a dozen or two fragments in any other zone ever been something easy to knock out in a couple of days?

I had left the scordo last quests to do later, now missing out

It ended about a week early, that's 21 gold boxes and 147 blue boxes. if we presume the drop rates in the blue boxes were 75% less than the gold, that equates to a total of ~58 gold boxes. It will not take at least 2 months to get the equivelant number of boxes. So yeah, months.

They also drop from siege camp chests, iirc. They'll probably also be back during the return of the writhing wall if someone would rather wait. I personally farmed 25 fragments in a few days in the fortress. I have 25 for sale right now in a guild trader on PSNA thanks to that.
