Vanilla World Bosses daily quests

Drammanoth

ZOS has accustomed us to the idea that DLC WBs have a daily quest. This is not the case with vanilla WBs who are just farmed for gear, and it can be slightly more difficult to find a group.

Yeah, sure, you can wait a few months to gear up to solo them, but guess what? Wouldn't it be faster to do them with others?

With the Sticker Book, farming them makes more sense, but not as much a doing a WB in a DLC.

Maybe with some upcoming DLCs ZOS could introduce the follwing changes:

a) In the Fighters Guild skill line they could extend the perk Bounty Hunter to level II, so when reaching FG reputation lvl 10, we could choose:

„Allows you to accept bounty quests from the Fighters Guild in Cyrodiil and accept World Boss hunts.”

b) An NPC from the Fighters Guild could dispense such quests.

Basic idea is that those repeatables would be loot-oriented from Tamriel vanilla WBs, eg.

X) Collect ‘Transcendental spectral essence’ - eligible WBs are
- Ghoragham (Angarvunde Mound, the Rift),
- Aereus (Whisplight Glen, the Rift)
- Mabrihash Shade (Mabrihash Burial Circle, Deshaan)
- etc

X) Durable savage beast pelt - eligible WBs are:
- Beralagr (Swiftblade’s Camp, Eastmarch)
- Amabani (Ammabani’s Pride, Eastmarch)
- Graufang (Seaview Point, Glenumbra)
- etc

X) Hunters comissioned fine-quality chitin - eligible WBs are:
- Blueclaw Matron (The Matron's Clutch, Stonefalls)
- Shellcracker (Shipwreck Strand, Stonefalls)
- Strifeswarm Champion (Strifeswarm Hive, Stonefalls)
- etc

X) Priesthood of Arkay wants to purify Tamriel of the strongest undead - eligible WBs are:
- Talkynd (Nen Ria, Shadowfen)
- Captain Bones (Captain Bones' Ship, Shadowfen )
- Qumehdi and Zaman (Telesubi Ruins, Bangkorai)
- etc

c) After returning, the player could have a chance to receive one of the rare style pages (Akaviri, Celestial, Dwemer, Ebony, Glass, Mercenary, Ra Gada, Yokudan)

So, ZOS, how about that?

I know a guar in deshaan that has been so lonely for a long time now. It's been years since he was destroying groups of inexperienced adventurers.

I dunno. The last few weeks as I have been clearing zones, every day there are multiple chat offers to form a group to do all the WBs in the zone.

Seems like they are pretty popular.

so why not get quests, eh?

I always felt the design decisions for the base game dailies was really strange, and leaving out world boss implementation is included in that.

It seems very backwards that the Mages Guild dailies send you to the more difficult content (public dungeons) while the Undaunted dailies send you to the easier content (delves). Fighters Guild sending you to dolmens is the only one that made a lot of sense since the quest/story for them is about their contract taking out dark anchors.

Feels like the Undaunted should have been sending us to public dungeons and world bosses (perhaps two quest givers for each) while Mages Guild should have been sending us to delves or provide quest markers to hunt down books we haven't found for that skill line.

It's not likely any of that will be changed now, but they could add a second quest giver for Undaunted that does world bosses. And rewards transmute crystals upon completion.

I agree with @Starlock in that I'd like to see an additional Undaunted quest giver who gives out alliance zone WB quests. The primary thing I like about alliance zone WBs is that I can solo most of them. DLC WBs require me to group and I can't be bothered trying to assemble a group or stand around playing the lute hoping that others will show up. I don't resent that DLC WBs are too hard for me to solo since lots of folks like them; I'm just pleased that the alliance zone WBs are more solo friendly.
