This is the topic about one of the best grind spots




Now i have the numbers and the calculations
i made it with ESO+ 10% exp buff and Enlighhtment(x4 exp buff), solo

any regular mob - 1456 exp
summoned mobs - 0
chest - 4024 exp
boss - 2912 exp
player kill - 8860 exp

bonuses:
heavy sacks
gems(from boses)
Aspect runes

mobs per route - 71(103376 exp)
chests per route ~ 4(16096 exp)
bosses per route - 3(8736)
PK per hour ~ 5(44300)-20 - related to online of campaign

average time of the route - 6 min(solo)

EXP PER HOUR(my case) = 1.326.380 per hour
without enlightment bonus ~330k

and now imagine how much you will get in group of 2 persons. without enlightment, but with group bonus exp(afaik 10%?) and SPEED BONUS because of group

~500k exp per hour in worst case

not bad but if you have enlightenment just doing the repeat qquests at bruma or other locations is even quicker.
granted that is ONLY with enlightenment. without it its not worth the time. but when i had it i was getting 30k exp a turn in and im not subbed. so with the 10% bonus would have been even higher

QuadroTony

i alredy got two Martial knowledge items for one day in this dungeon and got 100k gold for them
so its profitable in any ways

What about Haynote Cave?

You literally can't move without having an angry undead skeleton, necromancer or cultist in your face.

Every foot you move, there is an enemy there, filled with experience points seemingly ready to esplode in a glorious esplosion of experience points.

Also, the two bosses in this Cyrodiil delve? They both spawn, simultaneously.

Now, remember; it's common for Cyrodiil delves to have multiple bosses, in some cases four bosses, only one can be alive at one time, killing one forces a RNG spawn timer of ten minutes.

Haynote Cave though? 100% more efficient than any other Cyrodiil delve with regards to acquiring grand soul gems. If you factor in distance travelled and other variables, it's definitely going to be a one-thousand-million-percent increase in grand soul gem acquisition efficiency.

Keep up the good work, QuadroTony. I look forward to seeing posts regarding Haynote Cave, and maybe perhaps even Aspect Rune Cave, otherwise known as Capstone Cave located near Bruma.

Capstone Cave; where the treasure chests overflow with Martial Knowledge gear, always an aspect rune spawning whilst experience points just keep on givin'.

DoooooD! you just nerfed my spot! xD

Not fair that the best grinding spot in a PvP area is so far into a single faction's territory.

Don't worry, Cyrodiil isn't the best spot not even this spot, honestly, 330k XP/hr un-enlightened is only decent XP and is by far not "the best spot".

There's a spot where 500k XP/hr un-enlightened is possible, won't post it here tho. In the spot I'm referring to (not cyro) it's possible to go through the 400k enlightenment in 10 min. Add in how long it takes to cross over land in cyrodiil and the chance to get ganked in the process and well, it's just not that great.

spiders in Bangkorai? not even close

Nope no spiders, must think bigger....much bigger. Just as another note, as long as another player is in your vicinity your XP is reduced. Considering how busy these delves have got and your very insightful post here, again, the cyro XP is diminishing at best.

Hoo then the op is wrong..

Here is the vid to prove 800k/hour you can also watch the build /method he is using and try to repoduce.

You need to be 2, and 1 of you need to be a sorcerer

Yes I'm aware...what your pointing out is scaling based on 2 ppl and the speed of execution. The original #of 500XP/hr I stated is in fact solo and moving at a snails pace. So yeah the XP is more like double that when in a group of 2 and moving fast (aka mult mob pulling at once). But like I said there is no travel time or gank squad to worry about. The down side is the chests don't give v14 martial knowledge, but the recipes make up for it.

I'm not saying it's bad XP in cyro, it's great XP in fact....I was just saying it's not exactly "the best" as OP claims. ppl go crazy when they hear "the best grind spot", don't want them thinking this is the only place to go cause it's not.

You can get comparable exp gain in vet 10 zones. Nothing really to consider here. But the ones saying not to post this info is correct. You swamp the areas with greater player counts which minimizes your gains and invite ZOS to unnecessarily nerf content that is only exploitable by popularity and not by mechanic.

That argument holds water everywhere except Cyrodiil, because there players killing each other will balance the scales. In PvE, there is no mechanic in place to curb mass grinding.

sure there is

its called make the PVE content a lot harder

Notice the words "in place." That means things that are currently in the game.

Can anyone confirm these were not ninja nerfed? They did that to a lot of previous grinds (not in patch notes).

lol i dont think they had time on this maintenance either way.

If they were to nerf it, i expect a stealth nerf, like they have done in the past.

I tried a couple caves in Cyrodiil a few minutes ago, and the XP was nothing to brag about, just a TINY bit higher than my VR10 zone. Also, I didn't see any super fast respawns, either.

can you tell me since what vr is exp for mob 1300? i am vr 7 and it is still 300. pretty annoying ....

Darklord_Tiberius

Grinds are ONLY good anymore with the enlightenment buff on. Go grinding without it and see how fun it is. They wont nerf this because they already nerfed XP gains from monsters by 2/3s. I know because I ran the numbers pre and post 1.6 and got banned from the forums for 3 days because they were trying to silence me. I made a post about it, I think it is still around somewhere.

He posted these numbers with ENLIGHTENED buff on. His numbers will only work for that. Its not a legitimate "grind" spot; read my post above to understand why. Anything with enlightened buff on can be a grind spot.

Hi, I was the one that made this video. Only reason we got 750k xp/hour in this clip is because we hade some PvP action just before I started to record... so we lost some xp/hour.
When I grinded VR 12-14 we made 840k xp/hour but I didn't record that. You can easily get 800k xp/hour if you are in a grp with another player, time all spawns right and dont get to much PvP action.

Dudis

Being there and getting almost a VR per hour says otherwise

I don't even....

You don't need to be enlightened to get this kind of xp in this dungeon... We farmed 840k/hour for 2hours without buff.
