levelling mages guild more than once starts to get seriously boring, especially with db out so we can get max toons faster, if you want max stats for magika you need the passives which is a farely long boring grind

and I can max provisioning for about 15k in less then an hour, doing that in blacksmithing would cost 500K+ not everything in games is equal nor should it be. It would be very boring if everything was the same.PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

Like I said,they are two different guilds with different requirements and leveling ways.Sorry.That's just the way it is.
Dedicate your time to the Mages guild for a couple of days and ignore all else.You'll get there.
"Fair" doesnt mean anything in a game,They are just what they are.And we live with it.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭no, it makes sense to collect books to levelCollecting smelly, rotting books in ESO has given me a deeper appreciation for collecting smelly, rotting books in my own game world. I can't think of any better way of learning than to have a wet, mildewed book disintegrate in my hands when I pick it up. Doctors and lawyers these days are totally doing it wrong, what with their ebooks and brand new textbooks. I only trust doctors with piles of rotting books in their office. Makes me feel like they really earned their knowledge.

This is also the second thread in a short period of time seeking an "easier" way to max MG, the 1st also seeking 1 for FG. Also many requests for making things "easier" to level have been acknowledged so excuse me for putting my foot down for proud achievers everywhere.Guildmaster of Power With Numbers in PS4 NA Server's Aldmeri Dominion.

✭yes change how it is levelledIt would be nice if both MG and FG got some sort of repeatable quests like TG and DB;
For FG, Dolmen Daily's;
For MG, go to a particular delve and find a lorebook. Maybe this could be set up to not give as much Guild XP as finding one of the original books, but would help those top off who have gotten close to 10. To be clear, I like the current system, so this suggestion is an addition.Edited by Morimizo on June 16, 2016 5:20AM3 -

✭✭✭✭✭yes change how it is levelled
I completely agree with this. It's not so much "change how it's levelled" per the wording of the poll choice, but adding an additional way to level it up. Here is a concept I suggested a while ago for how this could work. Each quest would give 5 Rep for the relevant guild:It would be nice if both MG and FG got some sort of repeatable quests like TG and DB;
For FG, Dolmen Daily's;
For MG, go to a particular delve and find a lorebook. Maybe this could be set up to not give as much Guild XP as finding one of the original books, but would help those top off who have gotten close to 10. To be clear, I like the current system, so this suggestion is an addition.Fighters Guild dailies for destroying Mini-Anchors:
Something akin to the existing Dark Fissures, but in the style of Oblivion's Oblivion gates. You are tasked to go to a Dark Fissure location where instead of a Fissure, a Mini-Anchor has spawned (anyone who is not on the quest would just see a Fissure, as normal), and you need to defeat the enemies there. Once defeated, activate the pinion to be pulled into a delve-sized Coldharbour area. Fight through and defeat the boss to reach the Mooring Pinion. In addition to the immediate quest reward, you can stock up on Mooring Pinions to exchange for rewards. The assets for Mini-Anchors already exist; I think they are (or were? not sure if they're still around) part of a Dremora's spell arsenal.
Mages Guild dailies for collecting Lost Lore:
A quest to go recover a random lorebook (but not a purple one) from a delve. The book would be in a chest located behind the delve boss. In addition to the immediate quest reward, you also get some token that you can stock up on to exchange for rewards later on.What we also need are some solo dailies (that are interesting enough and rewarding enough to be worth repeating). All PvE-zone dailies at the moment (apart from Crafting) are for groups.- Fighters Guild Dailies: You're sent out to shut down a mini dark anchor. These could occur in the same random places as the existing dark fissures, but you need to go into Coldharbour to find the pinions (a la Oblivion's Oblivion Gates). If you're not on the quest, you get the standard dark fissure which disappears after defeating the boss. If you are, you get to enter the mini anchor after defeating the boss and experience a delve-sized dungeon on your way to the pinions. In addition to the standard reputation/experience/gold reward, you get to keep the Anchor Pinion, which can be exchanged for gear. The more you collect before you exchange them, the better gear you receive.
- Mages Guild Dailies: You're sent to a delve in the region to recover lorebooks to be brought back and translated (a la Skyrim's Shalidor's Insights). If you're not on the quest, the delve acts like normal and the chest containing the book cannot be found. The chest would either be in the main boss room, or in a side room with a mini-boss. In addition to the standard reputation/experience/gold reward, you get a Gem Fragment, which can be exchanged for items. The more you collect before you exchange them, the better items you receive.

I feel both the Mage and Fighters guilds could do with some updates to have daily content much like the others. This would also keep them relevant after the initial storyline.@Turelus - EU PC Megaserver
