I can only do the Alik'r Desert Dark Anchors so many times. They are already so crowded that the end bosses frequently last under 2 seconds. I'm a little concerned that my Alienware Alpha will just crash with all the lighting I expect to see.

What are your XP farming plans?

    I will be mostly playing on ps4 since this event will be new for that account. I'm thinking I will heal a lot of dungeons on my main and do delves and such on my lowbies.

    Just get the Sun's Dusk Reaper & Enemy of Coldharbour titles on my Warden by doing Rivenspire Dolmens (for Necro Jewelry)

    Then (depending on how many crowns the cottage costs) get sum Race change tokens, convert my Mag DK to Stam and lvl up his skills

    I'm going to be semi casual about it. Mostly going to help any friends get whatever items they need, since I have everything except the two new masks for this year. But I do want to level my 3 newer baby characters. The good news is they kindly planned this to start on a kid free weekend for me, so I can just live in ESO for a couple days if I want to.

    As for grinding out levels, will probably do that in some public dungeon or another, provided I can find one not packed full of people. The whole dolmen circuit was slightly too crowded for me, and I don't think its actually very effective for gaining xp, but I may be wrong.

    I was feeling the lack of a DK tank in my fleet of characters (I have one of every class), so my primary goal is to grind that character to 50 in a few hours with the Auridon dolmens. Then I'm going to switch over to whichever zone has the set I want for my build (haven't decided yet what that'll be) and use the dolmens in said zone to farm jewellery, level up skills, and boost my CP. :D

    Depends on the zone. I think Rivenspire and Alik'r will be packed to the rafters, but other dolmen circuits won't be as bad.

    XP farming is one and the one discussed here.

    Has two primary characters to take to 50 an 42 NB and an 22 DK, NB will continue to do daily random dungeons.
    DK delves and public dungeons until 26 then add random normals.
    Has 3 lvl 3-5 as in horse feeding bank alts I will probably start on.
    Will pass cp 600 just by burning enlightenment

    As understand purpose of this event is killing bosses including delve, dolmen, public and group. If so it fit perfectly with my leveling plan.
    During anniversary I ignored the xp bonus totally, doing 100 daily quests and having +100K sales each day was more important.

    I wont be grinding XP or achievements as I did them all last year, but I will be taking my new guildies and those who want to join to our "Special Place" from last year. There is a Dolmon, public delv and a world boss all together in one place.
    We could do the delv boss, dolmon, WB, and back to dolmon.. Took the monotony out of it..Even being disappointed at lack of new content, I am still going to have tons of fun!!!

    First I'll be doing the event so I can get the Witches house for my beloved.

    After that, I'll be exploring, questing, doing what I like to do. Making it a "rush"/grind makes it less fun for me, so I don't do that.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis
