Any way to easy grind undaunted?

I don't need a super cheap method, but I would like a better understanding of how this works

Thanks

There is a daily quest to run a delve somewhere in Tamriel, as well as 3 daily dungeon pledge quests. Other than that you need dungeon achievements. The best way to level it quickly is to get a group of four together and try for speed runs and no death runs in as many different dungeons as you can.

I found it levelled faster (well fast for the undaunted line) on my healer. It's the same with the PvP skill lines, they supposedly level faster when you're healing groups.

Not true at all. It absolutely does not level faster if you are a healer. You get a set amount of Undaunted points for each dungeon achievement, each first-time dungeon completion quest, each pledge, and each repeatable daily. Your role in a group does not change those point values in any way.

That's mostly true. There are a set of undaunted achievements for damage dealing (do X much damage in dungeons, and several tiers), and also a set of achievements for healing done (do Y total healing in dungeons, with tiers).

As far as I know the healing achievement works off healing done to yourself while in combat in a delve, so you can get those done just by building for tankiness/heals or having a resto off-bar while grinding.

I'm sure someone somewhere has a spreadsheet of all achievements, how much you need to do to get them, and how much undaunted rep each gives. Depending on your current level finishing off a certain set of achievements MIGHT be enough to put you over the next threshold.

Personally I hit 9 on my main just running a couple daily pledge dungeons for a few weeks, plus any solo achievements. But I'm pretty casual. I'm sure you could do it in less if you do the vet and delve daily pledges reliably as well.

Undaunted is now vet achievements only, pledges and dailies and some trials. For instance on your first trial completion or maelstrom you get undaunted xp.

You can max it out in 3 days. Do all 6 pledges and get a group and smash all vet mode dungeons and do no deaths and speed runs and you'll do it easy.

Most are soloable. On a sorc (stam and magika) my magdk and magplar also. They have all done.
Fungal 1, easy.
Darkshade 1&2 (2 gets messy at poison phase)

Vaults of madness. This requires a huge dot amd aoe attack to bypass the stun on 1st boss.

Arx Corinium. Last boss does take a long long time.

Crypt of Hearts 1. Long boss fights.

Spindle 1. 1st boss annoying. Just sprint to the end, wipe and prepare for a very very hard fight.

Banished cells 1&2. 20k spell res makes it easy.

Eden hollow 1. Last boss again takes forever.

City of Ash 1. Actually very quick and easy.

Wayrest 1. Very easy.

For the achievements though you need to kill everyboss. So not short cutting. Except spindle 1. It only wants 2.

VWGT can be solod too.

Interesting on Vaults, we missed the 2nd boss so I tried to solo it to get back there fast earlier and I couldn't work out the stun on 1st boss!

The stun duration is based on damage. So keep up stacks of dots and aoes. You'll be fine. The orbs heal for 20%. So as long as you do more than 20% damage for each phase you'll do it.

This is how I grind my Undaunted quickly on new characters:

• Do every single dungeon on Veteran mode
• Complete the speed run + hard mode achievements
• Once finished with previous step, go back and complete the no death achievements

Also:

• Complete the daily pledges on the hardest difficulties
• Complete City of Ash II's Undaunted Rescuer achievements + eat the deadly pie
• Complete the This One's On Me achievement (buying Undaunted members drinks)

Thanks, I will do this

Btw, are the veteran dungeons for like perfectly finished characters, 160cp sets, ect, all DPS magic or stam, or how easy would it be for a character like that?

SublimeSparo

Find 3 awesome pve'rs and pay them to let you stand at the beginning of all the vet dungeons while they do speed/ no death runs?
Pretty sure you get credit for just being in the dungeon, or you know you could even tag along and try to help

Really? I'm over 300cp but never done a pledge nor tried. I always assumed they were group required.
Are the bosses about the same level as world bosses? Cause there are many of those I can solo.
