Just got VMA bow (4th try, never going back ever again).

It's infused which is garbage, so what is the quickest way to get lots of transmute crystals?

    PVP - you just need to get like 30k AP or something like that and they will send you 50 in the mail at the end of the campaign. If you pvp a lot, you can get it really fast. A lot of those guys don't even know what to do with their crystals they have so many.

    gratz on the bow.

    PvP up to about rank 1 rewards and wait til the end of the week/month for 10/50 crystals. Do this on as many characters as you like every week/month.

    Take advantage while you can. Looks like they are going to change this to once per day per account instead of once per day per character.

    pve is INSANELY tedious... you get 1 per pledge and i assume 1 per vet dungeon?

    I would like them to increase it to 5 per pledge...

    5 per trial, so if you have a bunch of alts go run some normal craglorn trials.

    Otherwise get your toon to tier 1 rewards in a 30 day PvP campaign. You get 50 guaranteed at the end of it.

    Don't do randoms or pledges, it's slow and tedious.

    Transmute Geode in RotW is now once per day per account rather than per character.

    Yeah, I was surprised they didn't do a hot patch to make the change when they first came out.

    Tedious? You get 5 per trial weekly and 1-2 per vet pledge and random daily, per character. That's more than enough. I don't know what to do with all my crystals. It only seems tedious if you have none and need 50 fast, but even then you can do it in a day.

    Put this into perspective to the grind it may take to get the right trait on the right weapon in vMA.

    Rewards for the worthy 4-25
    Weekly trial quest, Vdsa 5
    Vma 4
    HM pledges 1-10
    Normal pledges, rng extra loot 1-5
    Random dungeon. 1

    Without waiting for end of campaign, most economical is doing pvp, fastest way if you have a ton of time is pvp, then trials weekly quests, then HM pledges, then vdsa/vma

    You can stack random vet and 1 hm pledge if you get lucky with group finder.

    You can stack rewards for the worthy and open on different characters, however I don't recommend it as it's theoretically an exploit and will be fixed in next patch. Do at your own risk.

    You can seriously get up to 10 from a HM pledge? I've never seen more than 2. And never more or less than 1 from normal. Must be pretty rare.

    Wait, what? Infused is the best trait now for weapons, if you use LA or HA in your weave and a Weapon Damage Glyph.

    Well, its less than 1% better than Sharp or Precise or Nirn in over DPS, but still, it's not garbage by any stretch

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    I'm too much of a potato to know how good or bad infused is in this particular case, but are you suggesting they enchant their Maelstrom bow with Weapon Damage? ;P

    @opaj

    It should already have a Weapon Damage Enchant on it

    http://elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/Thunderous+Volley+Set

    Infused give that enchant almost a 100% uptime if you proc it with Light or Heavy Attacks. But its not entirely clear exactly how this enchant works as the Weapon Damage appears to be constant, but the Volley Enchant could proc on any Volley or just outside of the cool down

    However, most Master and MA weapons have a better enchant than you can make and apply. Infused just makes it better.

    The quickest way to farm transmutation crystals, if you need them right away, and you don't want to do PvP is vMA. It's currently giving 8 crystals per completion, which means 8 crystals per hour.

    Do pledges: minimum of 3 crystals.
    Farm vMA: 8 crystals.

    Repeat until you get PTSD at the sound of that.

    Then, ofc, farming vMA also means you have the chance to get a nirnhoned bow, that would make the whole process pointless, but you may find other stuff you want to transmute, so...

    Have fun :D

    OP stated they never wanted to go back to vMA. Based on that statement I'd also think OP is quite far from finishing it in one hour.

    Do all weekly trials by looking for pugs in Belkarth. That's 25 crystals in a few hours.

    PVP is the best way.

    - get tier 3 on all characters in cyrodiil in the 30 day campaign to net 50 crystals each at the end
    - leave rewards of the worthy in your mail and open 1 on each character per day for 4-20 crystals each

    I'm rolling in crystals.

    @Pwnyridah FYI you only need tier 1 rewards to get the 50 crystal geode. I had characters on tier 1, 2 and 3 at the end of the last 30 day campaign and they all get one 50 crystal geode each.

    @Loc2262 awesome, thank you. every couple of months my 2nd character re-specs between crafting and PVP, and i am just getting ready to hit the 'Diil again. it would be a minor bummer not to reap those Crystal rewards just a little bit more.

    but it is true that PvPers can swim in them as it's currently arranged. i was about to start spending them on Nirnhoned for a 2nd crafter, just to save gold and not be full-up.
