Dolmens vs Skyreach Catacombs for Jester's Event

Knowledge

Which one is faster?

Aebaradath

I can't believe you're really asking this...

It should be quite obvious.

IcyDeadPeople

How about cracked wood cave?

QuebraRegra

block ALL other factions (other than DC) from Alikir during the event.... get that EP, and AD trash outa my backyard!

Predicting a new generation of incompetent SKYREACH BABIES will be born... coming to a PUG near you.

Beardimus

There are better ways to make XP...

Fine. Nothing good drops in the Alikir anyways

I'll make my own grind spot, with blackjack and hookers

The desert is faster for collecting decon jewelry. I haven’t vendored a ring since the announcement. With I knew if jewelry crafting leveled with decon.

VaranisArano

Neither.

Back in my day, we leveled by questing within one or two levels of our current level knee deep in snow, uphill both ways .

More seriously.
Skyreach will cost more gold.
Dolmens take longer if you do new dolmens for extra exp and the Alikr dolmens run is terribly boring.

For maximum quickness of exp gain, grab a ton of cheap enchanting and alchemy writs, level those skills to max, then make and turn in ALL the writs.

I'm just going questing.

I prefer solo normal Maelstrom.

Forget the blackjack....

It is mine numbing, but the dolmen run in the desert with 250+ xp gains should level 1-50 in a mere matter of hours. Without the 100 percent, it usually takes me 12-16.

Dolmens are simply more user friendly. You can just chill there and light attack. No need for heavy attack that's for the remote

or the bong....definitely the bong.....

For me Imperial city sewers is a no brainer. IC gives you:

* Exp
* Tel-var
* Key Fragments
* Possible motifs from chests
* AP (If you manage to kill some people)
* Exp towards the Figher´s Guild skilline.

Otherwise the best location for farming is Spellscar. It´s much faster than Skyreach, if you're alone an no one else is "stealing" your pulls. Dolmen groups are just lagfest deluxe that makes my FPS goes RIP

VilniusNastavnik

Overland mobs actually give you better xp than skyreach if you can get a good spot. Skyreach only works well as its instanced.

Neyane

Skyreach for best xp, dolmens if you’re feeling lazy

Bbsample197

skyreach obviously but i feel like battlegrounds, IC, master writs are faster and easy

or

spellcar if you don't have a buddy to do skyreach

Dracane

Come to the zombie spot in the Imperial sewers

Merlin13KAGL

You know you can't buy either one with crowns, right?

Lol.......Agree^^

If you are leveling a new toon, just go clear all the delves and collect skyshards.

If the XP bonus stacks with a scroll or a potion, you will not be disappointed.

Enslaved

Lets see.
Dolmens:

• lagfest
• stupid
• boring
• slow

Skyreach

• must bother a "powerful friend" to come with you
• stupid
• boring
• tedious

Cyrodiil daily quests in towns and villages

• dangerous
• give some minor APs as well
• give some reward boxes with items that maybe can be sold
• can be done on dead campaigns where danger is lesser

Grinding monster spawn spots in open world

• must be done in dead hours or just a stupid boring lagfest
• still way better than dolmens
• still way better than skyreach, since it can be done solo and its easier
• need vendor to sell the drops

Regular questing

• faster than dolmens
• less stupid than skyreach
• way slower than grinding monsters, daily cyro quests or having a pro "friend" in skyreach
• if new player, much better way to play the game than any other method.

RobDaCool

I'm probably going t do Dolmens. Heck, I've never been to Skyreach Catacombs. lol

vamp_emily

Whatever location you chose to grind just remember public locations will have more grinders, more trolls, and less XP. I know last event I got whispers like "go away, we were here first" or "Quit stilling our XP".

I think I might be doing skyreach , group dungeons and trials for my double xp.

User friendly with like 1/12 the xp rate. Why so many people grind dolmens for xp on PC blows my mind.

That is a pretty good option that is often overlooked.

Because I can watch a movie while I do it. Takes 1% focus. Most other methods I have to pay some attention while grinding.

Of the 2 it's definitely skyreach.

But skyreach requires a competent partner to kill mobs for you (especially if you not levelled stuff), it also requires gear repairs and usually selling excess loot. Plus being a lvl 40 in lvl 10 training gear will hurt a lot more.

Bonus for dolmens is you can lfg very easily, don't have to pay much attention as in you can be watching a TV show or something, YouTube etc. You can also stay in lvl 10 gear all the way if you like. Although it's not as fast as skyreach.
