Cyrodiil: I just got an Elder Scroll. What next?

fetito666

In Cyrodiil I just got an Elder Scroll by defeating the NPCs. There was no other player around.

What next? Where do I need to put the scroll? Do I have to walk all the way back to the Daggerfall Covenant base?

Thank you!

If you took an enemy faction's Scroll, you bring it back to a Keep owned by your own faction, preferably one as far from the enemy's home bases as possible so as to make it difficult for them to recapture it. Once you get inside a Keep there's a pedestal off to the right side of the inner keep you can place it.

If you are Daggerfall, then choose a daggerfall keep that is blue and not under attack and jog the scroll to that keep.

any one of these:
Glade, Ash, Aleswell, Warden, Dragonclaw, Rayles

I'm surprised you had time to ask this sort of thing on the forums. If It was me I probably would have gotten curb stomped immediately upon touching it. I've never gotten the opportunity to hold one yet.

I learned during the last PvP event that you need your own faction's scrolls first to capture the enemy scrolls. Defense vs defense, offence vs offence. I'm probably wrong about that though, I dont study up on my Cyrodill mechanics at all.

Dump it in lava/water or bring it to enemy faction and watch zone chat go nuts

I just deposited it in Warden. :P No achievement, no XP. :P

It was a nice walking simulator for 20 minutes though.

Being in possession of an enemy scroll gives your faction a new passive buff.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom!

PS: There was no enemy player on the map.

Cyrodiil is a big zone. Even during off hours when most are offline, there's ALWAYS someone, somewhere. They just probably didn't bother intercepting you as most Scrolls are taken by groups, and no one wants to try and take that on by themselves.

Yeah, I found that out, too. We (DC) had managed to capture an EP keep that held an AD scroll, and when I tried to pick up the scroll I got a message to the effect that we first needed to own our own scrolls. And then a zerg of AD came running in, wiped us, and took their scroll back. Fun times!

It is a bit of a let down considering they are the games name sake.

There is a quest however from your alliance base, you need the right one for the right scroll. It's still not much though but still.

As others have said tho you did just buff your whole alliance!

Congrats! I think...?

I just did my first Elder Scroll run during the most recent MYM. Sooooo hectic & fun!

No one wanted to take the, “target” - but I was like, “oh - I’ll slot Refreshing Path!” Lol.

My Bosmer never ran so quickly, and took the most treacherous routes... y’know - to avoid the constant Zerg attack... but also for the Fall Damage mod.

One of the many things that hooks me on Cyro every time I play there.

This thread is hilarious.

Hey guys! I'm in a battleground right now, and I hit someone with Reverberating Bash. I love the ability, it looks really cool!
But now my opponent just stands there with a kind of swirly thing above his head. Can anyone tell me what that is? Was it something I did or did he do that on purpose?
If you know anything about this, please reply quickly. I think he's moving again ...

Actually it's pretty normal and not a far stretch at all. You can in fact easily grab a scroll by yourself if you log in at the right time and play on a half dead server. Without anybody intercepting you or stopping you. Most people that play real late only do smallscale or solo, and as someone said above already, most people think only full raids take on scrolls, so noone's going to bother going after you lol Nothing funny, weird or sarcastic about it.

If you have picked up an enemy Elder Scroll, you now need to transport this back to one of your own Keeps. You cannot ride or fast travel, you must do so overland & note that you will show up on everyones mini map, so that should they wish to, the enemy can try to intercept you.

Take the scroll back to a safe keep and slot it in the appropriate alter. It confers bonuses on your whole aliance.

Go to White Gold Tower, give it to the Empress Regeant, Clivia Tharn, and merge the planes of nirn and coldharbour, bringing about an eternity of pain, domination, and brutality for all the mortals of the world.

Indeed and in all likelihood the only reason that Scroll was prob available was due to some solo of that Alliance stealing it back from whatever Keep it was located at but didn’t have the desire to continue to close the Gate

There was no response for like 10 minutes, so I grabbed the scroll and went into my territory. :P But I met someone from my faction on the way that guided me.

I know in PVP water = death. For the scroll if you jump out into the water would it than be unobtainable?

UnseenCat

For a while. It will reset. Scroll-trolling in slaughterfish-infested water works best if your char is Argonian for the swimming bonus; you can guarantee no one else will be able to swim out to it before getting eaten. Although Cyro's slaughterfish were tweaked to be more deadly to discourage this and stop it from messing up campaigns so much.
