Undaunted about the Undaunted Celebration?

Undaunted about the Undaunted Celebration?
More like Mission Impossible...

Consider the math...
and thanks to all who corrected the "math", all five times.

Length of the event
Starts and ends at 3pm GMT
11/14 - 11/18 = 5 days
3 x 24hrs = 72hrs (presuming no sleep, work, school etc.)
+ 2 x 14hrs = 28hrs (first and last day is shorter)
HOURS TOTAL = 100 (presuming no down time on the dungeon finder)

Farmable Collectibles
Bloodspawn - 6 items
Engine Guardian - 6 items
Illambris - 6 items
Troll King - 6 items
Total: 24 items
(shoulders are "purchased" from undaunted vendirs with keys"

Presuming a drop rate of 1 page in every 4 dungeons 24 x 4 = 96 runs
Average length of a dungeon= 30 min
96 runs x 30 min (presuming no fails on server or dungeon finder)

HOURS OF PLAY NEEDED = 48 hrs
HOURS AVAILABLE = 100 hrs

THUS If you play for app. 10 hrs a day for 5 days you MIGHT just collect them all.
Im SURE I am missing something here...

If you do farm all 15 event tickets you can buy 3 pages at 5 tickets each.
If you were a clever one and start with 12 event tickets from witches you can buy another 2 pages.

I'm feeling a bit daunted, ZOS please help!

But hey I'm a no life no skill ESO luvin baby boomer...bring it baby

and assuming activity finder works and i quote:

Undaunted Celebration Event Follow-up
ZOS_RichLambert
discussion by ZOS_RichLambert · December 2018 · English General ESO Discussion
As most of you know, the recently completed Undaunted Celebration Event in ESO was plagued with Activity Finder issues. We had similar problems last year, but we thought they were resolved...

so Undaunted Celebration aka dungeon finder stress test on live server

The only way you're getting the opal weapon styles is once a day.. no farming needed.
https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/493609/pts-patch-notes-v5-2-0

Later this year, we’re planning to host the Undaunted Celebration dungeon event. This event will grant bonus rewards for running dungeons, and is available for testing this week.

Defeating the final boss of any dungeon will award an Undaunted Event Reward Box. If it’s your first dungeon boss of the day, you’ll also get an Exceptional Reward box with even more rewards.
Exceptional reward boxes include new Opal weapon outfit styles. These styles are based on the Illambris, Engine Guardian, Bloodspawn, and Troll King styles but with a unique shine and effect.
New Opal versions are available of the Ilambris, Engine Guardian, Bloodspawn, and Troll King helm and shoulder styles.
The helm style pages have a chance to drop from the associated boss in Veteran Hard Mode, while the shoulders can be purchased from Glirion and Maj al-Ragath if you own the base shoulder style.
During the event, you can earn three Event Tickets once per day, per account, by defeating the final boss of any Dungeon (Normal or Veteran). These can be traded for special items at the Event Merchant (the Impresario).

Because daily reset is at 6am gmt, and the event ends at 3pm gmt so ok the last day has 9 playable hours, my point remains, its too short.

Not when they way we are is your fault!

As for me, I am more a Xennial, never fitting in or best of both worlds or you can just make fun of me for making the distinction, lol!

On topic, do you think we are actually meant to collect them all in one event? I started ESO this past summer so I don’t know whether some or all of these have been available in previous Undaunted events. Maybe it’s expected that you would have to buy some if you wanted to get them all in a single event?

I have made some alterations thanks for applying your brain to the math in any cse.

Undaunted celebration? More like alpha testing of the "fixed" dungeon finder with a few pixel trinkets for suckers to obsess over. No thanks.

and if its limited to undaunted pledges only you can only do 3 dungeons day, please tell me this is not true.

The information at:
https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/57037

says:
Undaunted Celebration (11/14-11/17)—Take on ESO’s challenging dungeons to receive reward boxes.

Thats all I've dug up in the short time I was looking, and it's pretty sparse on scheduling info.

The just ended Witches Festival ran from 10AM EDT to 10AM EDT.
Ignoring the differences in time zone semantics, where are you getting the extra 9 hours on your last day?

I'm not trying to start a fight here, I just want to know, because I've not seen the justification yet and will be happy to see your link.

6am gmt to 3pm gmt is 9 hours, not to be confused with the values in EDT. I play on the EU server so we run everything on gmt.

I still don't see the link that shows the extra 9 hours.

A 24 hour time period is still 24 hours, no matter what time zone you call 'home' so the difference in zone terminoligy matters not as long as one doesn't mix zone terminology withing the same sentence.

Respectfully, I ask again - Where are you getting the extra 9 hours from, as the just concluded event run in whole 'days' of 24 hours?

marius_buys · November 2019

24 hrs (a day) in terms of the event works a bit differrntly as at the RESET time it counts as a new day, thus, the first and last day of the event is "special"

OolongSnakeTea · November 2019

Are the Exceptional Reward Boxes drops going to be once a day on the entire account or per character?

So, Undaunted Event will begin on November 14 at 10am ET, but daily reset is at 12am ET. So, the first day will not be a full day, and neither will the last.

So, first day is November 14, 10am ET to 12am ET

Second day: November 15, 12am ET to 12am ET

Third day: November 16, 12am ET to 12am ET

Fourth day: November 17, 12am ET to 12am ET

Fifth day: November 18, 12am ET to 10am ET

ETA: There were some details of the event from PTS patch notes (quoted above), but that seems to differ from the description on the Slay Dragons page. It's unclear if the boxes will drop from any dungeon boss, or just from bosses doing random dailies with the activity finder (like last year).

Regardless, I'm only interested in the tickets, which last year dropped from the final dungeon boss, no random daily or pledge required. If you're able to play all days, even the short one on the 18th, you can get 15 tickets. I'm only planning for 12, since they gave us an extra 12/14 tickets with the extended Witches Festival.
