What's the worst gear grind you've ever done in ESO?

LightYagami

Elemental succession inferno.
I have around 60 perfected VMA weapons, including a few gold VMA inferno from leaderboard rewards, but not a single elemental succession inferno...

Pauwer

I used to want bone pirate bow years ago. Endless grind of that worst dungeon of all times. To this day aint seen it. I don't want it anymore, but i think they left it out of the game in my copy.

Coming back to ESO and discovering that MA weapons were not upgraded, flashbacks to my first runs and drear of fighting RNG again (even if nowadays it will be easier with the transmute...those memories...)

Hotdog_23

BSW inferno staff and at one time the sword's as well.

Stay safe

I gave up on the BSW Inferno staff after about 60 runs. I've also given up on Combat Physician and Ice Furnace lightning staffs after similar (unsuccessful) grinds.

Despite that, the most baffling has been the grind for any Overwhelming Surge staffs at all. I think I've deconstructed about 20 Overwhelming Surge rings and I've never seen a single staff drop of any type.

For me, it was collecting my Grave Guardian tanking weapons and jewelry from Unhallowed Grave. I must've spent weeks chasing that lightning staff.

I spent over 70 runs in Unhallowed Grave trying to get a Dragurkin Lightning staff. A group member got one on like run 30, but was CP 120, so it was useless at the time (LONG before stickerbook).

Learning all the furniture plans, which lets me craft gear for my houses. Only have 7 plans left to go, but MAN.

Massacre_Wurm

BSW inferno staff. And BSW was nerfed in next patch.
So no more grind in ESO for me.

Mayrael

Auroran Thunder set. I've done this dung over 150 times and collected all my loot info into excel spreadsheet to check how the rng works there what parts have lowest drop rates, which traits and so on and so on. After 150 runs I haven't dropped A SINGLE DESTRO staff from this set, after about 2-3 weeks I gave up and never went back to this dung.

Perfected Siroria's Inferno staff.............. -screams-..................-faints-.............-screams while unconscious-........

Spell Power Cure took FOREVER. I needed the jewelry, so I ran it on vet a lot. Also farmed IC for key fragments to unlock the vault, desperately seeking the SPC frost staff. I never found the frost staff, not sure it actually exists, so my healer runs with two healing staff's instead.

It does

Good to know. I'll probably find it on a random normal months from now.

Years ago when I was searching for the Shroud of the Lich set, back then it only dropped from Dolmens in specific zones, getting that Lich to appear was a pain.

Thavie

Tzogvin set! All of it, it took a half of a year to get all the pieces I needed. Haven't even seen the bow though.

ThePedge

First Maelstrom Inferno, 68 vet runs and took me about an hour per run at the start.
Down to like 40mins by the end

Caluurion Inferno, over 100 runs

Scardan

Forgotten Crypts. Only one MS lightning staff and lot of MS one-handed axes in 4 hours (I was looking for flame staff). It ended with one guild member gifting me one MS flame staff and I just bought another one from a guild store for 80k.

Can't wait for Maelstorm Arena grind.

Princess_Ciri

Thrassian Gloves. 4 days of what felt like endless dull fishing in Arteum to finally get that stupid lead.

Only for ZOS to nerf the gloves next patch making them basically useless. Thanks........
