Witchmother Olyve - Well, This is Annoying

Mayanpup

I am starting a new character on Khenarthi's Roost. Meet Olyve, get the quest, get the ingredients, do Del's claim delve for boss essense.

Now to my whining part.

Ready to meet Olyve so I look at the quest arrow and find out she is up near Firsthold in Auridon!! I have barely visited Vulkhel Guard and now have to travel the length of Auridon
to get the rewards?

ZOS, could you have at least made it a central location on Auridon (Mattison, maybe?) to meet the witch? I cannot reach the current location without quite a bit of combat.

Bad choice of location IMO.

Ask a guild mate to help you travel there. It's how I got to places I wanted to be. Like Coldharbour.

You can also do the quest on a higher-level character who's explored the region already and just use the collectible you get on any alt for the xp buff!

If you are in any sizable guild, plenty of guild members will be there for the event You can right click their names in the roster and travel to them without ever asking for help.

Or you could ride up the road. Auridon's not that dangerous.

Yes, yes you can reach her with almost ZERO combat. Is there ANYTHING that people don't complain about? FFS, you have to run halfway across ONE zone for a quest and you are complaining?

You could go for a pleasant wander through Auridon and enjoy the sights and sounds as you do so? I've done it, several times, and I don't recall having a particular problem with excessive combat or things getting in my way.

I have to agree with this.

It's not like the put objective at the end of a 12-man trial. It's in the northern part of the very first zone you visit after the tutorial.

Walking from Vulkhel Guard to Firsthold probably takes 10 minutes tops, and if you stick to the roads you will encounter no combat at all.

How is this a problem with One Tamriel? It's not like you're going to be fighting above your level.

That's one of the things I love about One Tamriel, the ability to go wandering off in pursuit of a quest objective and still enjoy every step of the way because it is neither overly challenging nor unrewarding.

I agree with OP. It is a long way if you haven't done the zone. Even more so because the routes to the brewery locations are anything but direct if you are starting off from places like Vulkhel Guard, Stonefalls or Daggerfall. A genuine noob is almost certain to get lost on the way.

TequilaFire

Get lost?
Open map, mark quest marker location.
Look at your compass and walk/ride that way.

Uriel_Nocturne

There shouldn't be any issues if you stick to the roads, OP.

The enemy spawns are far enough off the road that encounters should be minimal. Even if you do aggro something, it's leveled to you (thanks One Tamriel), so it should be no more difficult to kill than anything in southern Auridon.

Just get to trekking, and you can meet up with her in 10-15 minutes.

I'm guessing you haven't done the Clockwork City teaser quest yet. You need to go ALL over Tamriel for that one...

You also could complain for the housing quest that starts in Davon's Watch and soon after it directs you to visit far corners of Shadowfen. This game is about travelling and discovering, so it's not a problem if quest forces you to go far to other maps to pick another quest. It's only more interesting that way. I disagree with OP.

Spacemonkey

WTF?

'without a bit of combat' when you just did a delve ??
and the point is? What are you playing this for anyway if you dont want to run around the map?

Or the Vvardenfell teaser, or any of the Craglorn quest lines.

The BEST part of this game is getting lost along the way....

You should be THANKING them for making you enjoy the scenery instead of complaining that it's too far of a run.

2 minute run TOPS - with no combat unless you go look for it.


WTF is wrong with you people?!?

Slack

The time it took you to open the browser and write this thread, you could have traveled there easily.
Or relogged to your main. The memento is accountwide anyway

Cadbury

If you're on the PS4, I'd port you there free of charge

UnseenCat

Have to agree. Most of Auridon is quite tame if you stay on the main roads. And it's quite pretty -- sometimes actually worth riding through rather than taking wayshrines all the time. The way up from Vulkhel Guard shouldn't pose any challenges, and if you do run into overland enemies, they'll be weak compared to doing a delve. Level scaling is your friend here.

(However, at risk of minor spoilers, don't go into Firsthold if you're newly landed in Auridon. Do that as a quest.)

You can find a road on the map that will take you near a wayshrine below Firsthold, and it's a short walk on a trail form there. Not likely to be many enemies during the event; likely to be plenty of players around to clear them out.

Shes at the end of the zone for Stonefalls aswell. It might be a bit of a trek but its not like its imposssible or unreasonably far for a new player. If you cant run to the end of the first large zone then maybe the issue is with you.
