Green Pact Overland Gear Set

Veraen

I am looking for the Green Pact overland gear set. Specifically I need epic rings, epic neck and a one-handed weapon and shield. I'm a little confused on where I should be focusing my efforts.

Is my best chance for epic Green Pact set jewelry is by farming dark anchor chests in Greenshade? Would running Veteran City of Ash in Greenshade give a chance for the jewelry?

As for the one-handed weapon and shield, do I farm bosses in Rulanyil's Fall public dungeon in Greenshade? Would farming overland bosses at the skull and crossbones in Greenshade also have a chance to drop weapons and shields?

Any specific advice so that I can make the most effective use of my time will be greatly appreciated!

Jewelry, Dolmens and Greenshade is about the worst for running a rotation on those, which is good as the set drops in Grahtwood

Delve Bosses have a good chance of dropping a waist or feet slot item.

World Bosses have a 100% chance to drop a head, chest, legs or weapon slot item.

Public Dungeon Bosses have a high chance of dropping a shoulder, hand or weapon slot item.

For most 5 piece sets I hit the Dolmens until I have all 3 pieces, and Epic ain't no thing, if you get it great, otherwise use Blue or Green. And, then I hit Delves for the small armor pieces. This way I can solo the content and complete the 5 pieces. Unless of course this is your second 5 Piece Dropped Set, then you need to farm the Publics, and tickle the World Bosses

My first bit of advice: make sure you're farming in the right zone. Green pact drops in Graatwood, not Greenshade.

Dolmens are definitely your best bet for getting the jewellery. Make sure you put 30 champion points into the green champion tree that gives you the 'treasure hunter' passive, so that you get more purple drops from chests. Running city of ash will not grant you green pact gear, as different sets drop in group dungeons.

To obtain weapons and shields, public dungeons are the easiest way. The overland bosses always drop weapons as far as I know, except for some which will occasionally drop some unique set pieces that are not necessarily weapons. These bosses are often tricky to defeat alone though.

Speaking of unique items, the final boss in the delve 'Ne Salas' drops a unique green pact shield occasionally. This would be my recommended way of farming for the shield, as it always drops in the reinforced trait.

• Grahtwood
• Delve bosses have a chance to drop a waist or feet set piece from the zone they are located in.
• Each boss also has a small chance to drop a unique set piece.
• Overland group bosses have a 100% chance to drop head, chest, legs, or weapon set piece from the zone they are located in.
• Public dungeon bosses have a chance to drop a shoulder, hand, or weapon set piece from the zone they are located in.
• Treasure Chests gained from defeating a Dark Anchor have a 100% chance to drop a ring or amulet set piece form the zone they are located in.
• Treasure chests found in the world have a chance to grant any set piece that can drop in that zone:
• Simple chests have a slight chance of dropping an item set piece.
• Intermediate chests have a good chance of dropping an item set piece
• Advanced and Master chests have a guaranteed chance of dropping an item set piece.
• If you have the Treasure Hunter Champion Passive, both the above chances and quality of an item will be improved.
• Treasure chests found from a Treasure Map have a guaranteed chance to drop one random set piece that can drop in that zone.
• Major quests have been updated to reward a green or blue-quality set piece.
• Regular monsters throughout Tamriel have a small chance of dropping any item set piece that can drop in that zone.

Your thoughtful response is greatly appreciated! I have a few follow-up questions just to clarify.

I'll farm the dolmens to get the jewelry. Perhaps I'll redistribute my champion points before to get the "Treasure Hunter" champion passive to increase my odds of getting epic quality from the chests. Out of curiosity, why is it worst zone to run rotations? Just how they are geographically located?

This helps me target my search for a one-handed weapon. I'm assuming a shield is considered a "weapon slot item" as well and can also drop from world bosses and public dungeon bosses. Correct?

Ilsabet

I wouldn't run anything in Greenshade, considering that the Green Pact set drops in Grahtwood.

Ninja'd, but yeah.

It's also notable that the public dungeon in Grahtwood is especially easy to farm, since once you complete the quest in there the trash mobs won't bother you.

Nestor

Yep, saw that after I posted. I assumed the OP knew where the set was. I throw out most of my Green Pact stuff. Still Greenshade is the worst zone to run Dolmens in. No matter what drops there.This is contrasted by a zone like Alikir where the Dolmens are a hop skip and jump from the Wayshrine and you can go constantly from one wayhrine to a Dolmen to the wayshrine in a never ending loop with no delay. Deeshan is good for this too. Auridon is the good Dolmen Rotation Zone for AD.

The Treasure Chest passive has no impact on the Chests from Dolmens, so don't waste the points. It only works on Treasure Chests from Maps or the ones you unlock.

Green Shade, not that it is needed for this set, has one of the worst Wayshrine/Dolmen layouts, even makes Stormhaven look good for rotations.

Not really sure where the Shields come from, I know I have some, but I don't pay attention to where I get them. I think i have most of mine from Treasure Chests.

Haha, that's totally why I asked! The UESP Website says it drops in Greenshade but the ESO Fextralife Website says it drops in Grahtwood. I think UESP may have mixed up Beekeeper's Gear and Green Pact sets. Anyhow, thanks for setting the record straight!

Excellent advice, I will definitely redistribute my champion points to get "Treasure Hunter" before I get started tonight.

Ahh yes, you are very wise treasure hunter my friend. I'm looking at the Grahtwood map now and it looks like "Root Sunder Ruins" just to the Southeast of Eldenroot is a public dungeon in that zone. Does that sound right to you?

Now this is some really helpful specific advice. I'm so glad I posted this question! I see it's just North of the Gray Mire Wayshrine. That's where my future shield is being kept, and I will claim it for my own when the night falls on this day.

This is interesting. The champion passive just says "Increases the quality of items you find in treasure chests" but does not make any distinction about treasure map chests and locked chests.

Why you believe this to be the case?

Another great tip. Thank you so much for helping me!

Because I get mostly Green and Blue from Dolmen Chests and mostly Purples with a few Blues from Treasure Chests on my character that has this passive. I only have one who has this as it cuts down on my DPS, and she is going to be a Farmer someday as she is my Master Crafter. But I took her through more than 100 Dolmens one day in Alikir to get that last Dolmen Achievement, and there is no way the Champ Passive has any effect on the Dolmen Chests based on what I pulled with her.

Also, a character that does not have this passive gets more than his fair share of Purple Jewelry from Dolmen Chests. Which would tell me that I should use him to farm the Dolmens, but as soon as I do that, I will up end the RNG Cart.

Finally, the Chest at the Dolmen is called Chest, not Treasure Chest or Hidden Treasure. There are only two containers in the game with the word Treasure in the name.

I'm impressed that you have actual information to back that statement up. A lot of people just spout random opinions and assumptions as fact. You on the other hand are a veritable fountain of treasure chest knowledge my friend!! Haha, thanks again for all your information.

Special thanks to whoever just went and updated the UESP Overland Sets page to fix the zones that Green Pact and Beekeeper's Gear drop in. That was quick!!

Since I was giving up DPS on one of my deadliest characters I wanted to make sure of what the passive does. So I paid close attention to it after speccing it in. I have since leveled another Sorcerer who does not craft to take her DPS place. Now, of all things, she is going all Medium Armor with Dark Stride and Prisoner gear for next to no Sprint Costs*, add in the extra regen for magic, and using Streak, coupled with the Well Fitted Trait, she will be a farming fool.


I think I can only get down to around 20% Sprint Costs in total, so might not need the Prisoner stuff.

You are waaaay ahead of me on this whole farming thing brother. I only decided today that I wanted to boost my health and health regeneration and decided I'd rather farm for it than run from guild vendor to guild vendor shopping through that horrible interface. ESO on XB1 totally needs a text filter for guild vendors because looking for a specific item is enough to make you go blind!

FOLLOW-UP: The advice I received here was absolutely top notch.

In about 3 hours of farming dark anchors I got 3 piece sets of Green Pact, Ranger's Gait, and Syrabane's Grip jewelry. This included several epic pieces too!

In another 2 hours of farming I managed to get Green Pact one-handed weapon and staff from farming the alligator and panther bosses in Root Sunder Ruins. I also received a ton of waist and hand items for Green Pact, Ranger's Gait, and Syrabane's Grip.

Last but not least, I got the unique Green Pact shield from the boss in the Ne Salas Delve. It only took farming her 4 times before I got the shield.

The bottom line is that in one night of playing I managed to get everything I wanted and more. Of course I wouldn't mind having different traits on the weapons, and could use one more epic ring instead of a blue, but all in all this was relatively easy once I knew where to focus my efforts.

Thanks again to everybody who helped me. I feel totally self-sufficient with farming overland sets!

There's a quest giver that gives an infused green pact shield in grahtwood. Name begins with an O i think. SW part of the map is all I remember

Guild stores are a potential way to find weapons, shields and jewellery of this set.

Don't run Jewelry Weapons of Green Pact

when you weapon swap even if the set bonus is active on both sides it resets during the swap meaning you lose that health.

There actually isn't a quest. You simply go to the Ne Salas Delve and kill the named boss at the end of the delve until it drops the shield. I got it in 4 kills so it's not super crazy rare or anything. Good luck!

Was this the infused shield? I read mention of the reinforced and I thought that was from the delve boss...

Just re read previous posts, the shield you mention is the reinforced. I bought 1 of the infused shields from a trader but the seller had no idea where they got it. It was mentioned earlier there is a quest in greenshade that rewarded this shield for the quest.

@Unsent.Soul it's a named drop, but drops in random traits still. Only quest named items come in set traits I believe.
