Rash Merchant Plummet needs an Achievement! :-)

Rash Merchant's Plummet is a location on the island of Stros M'Kai and is one of the striking locales that you need to go to if you want to get the Stros M'Kai Pathfinder Achievement.

But did you know? There's a way over the the bridge ...



Currently there are no "achievements" for crossing the bridge and there isn't anything of significance on the other side, apart from the view and the bragging rights.

This screen capture is from the second Island (past the second bridge!) looking out over the remaining island s in the chain.

So give it a try! There are a number of methods that can be used to get across the first bridge (the second bridge is much easier).

If you agree that there should be an Achievement or something "special" to be had after crossing the Plummet, say so here on this thread. The more of a response we get here, the more likely ZOS may take action on it :-)

    It should get an achievement. I spend ages to get there during early access. When i made it, nobody was there to witness it.

    Having finally made it over there to take the screenshot, it was a bunch more work than the Nose Diver achievement, and so should be worth something. :) I didn't make it alive to the 3rd island on my 1st attempt (Slaughterfish!) but Moko.Fate did. We had a fun time for sure trying to get across :)

    Came across that on first character and was very disappointed that there wasn't anything for it, not even a chest or something.

    It isn't easy and deserves a achievement for sure and possibly something else. Achievement for sure though!!

    It definitely was fun having an ad-hoc party at the Plummet. Most times I go down there (and I do from time to time), I find at least one player trying to cross, so there is real interest in it.

    Ok, so if ZOS were to create an achievement for getting to the Islands at Rash Merchant's Plummet, what should it be called?

    Here are some ideas:

    * Avoided The Plummet
    * Bridge Hopper
    * Island Hopper


    What name would you give it?

    *Merchant Refuge (Maybe put a fence over there that lets you fence 5 extra stolen items after 1.6 hits. Have his name be Rash.)

    Add another vote for getting something. Achievement would be neat.

    Possibly one that requires getting to several hard to reach places though...

    Hm, and here I thought it was impossible to get across thanks to an invisible obstacle near the end of the first bridge. Ah well, don't have any plans for WE other than work anyways.

    I like this, it works in congruence with my idea being, having several similar locations like this. Each allowing 5 additional items fenced which could add up to profits.

    Would love to see an achievement for it.

    I think that this game should really do what it can to promote exploration because of its heritage, so rewarding players for managing to climb a particular mountain, or island(s) in this case, should absolutely be in the game!

    I have tried to cross that bridge so damn many times that I've lost count. I just sent one of my new VR characters to Stros M'Kai this morning and spent an hour tying to cross that damn bridge again.

    Too often, the ESO interface gets in the way. You press your spacebar and the character doesn't jump... SPLASH! You jump, but the character doesn't respond to the "W" key... SPLASH! You try to make your jump land right where you want it, but the game decides for you how far you're going to jump... SPLASH!

    The sampling rate for the keyboard appears to be the issue; it is unpredictable as to whether or not you're going to get the response you want.

    There is, BTW, a reward... during the time you spend trying and retrying to get across that damn bridge, the chest to the side of the bridge will respawn, the rune nodes will respawn, and the ore nodes will respawn. The wolf will respawn and you can get some leather.

    And you will receive all the frustration you could ever hope for...

    I'm glad you posted that there is nothing on the other side. I'll quit trying. I can die in peace now knowing that.
