Best activities when nobody is online?

Hi everyone!


I often find myself playing at very odd time 2-7AM CET and that means that i can't do trials, pvp or dungeons (1+hr Queue).

I'm actually wondering what some of your favorite activities are to progress inside the game in a meaningful way with these limitations. (I don't have vMA DLC)

Some ideas i had:
  • Questing on my RP character
  • Farming inside Skyreach
  • Doing daily stuff..

Thank you for reading, it would be kind if you left your opinion below!

    Moneywise, farming Craglorn resources or anywhere for treasure chests is good to do when everyone's asleep. You can also solo dolmens or world bosses or public dungeon bosses in profitable zones like Deshaan

    As far as fun, you can always queue for a dungeon or battleground and then farm during the queue. Healer and tank queues are always faster.

    My new after-midnight hobby is soloing Ri'Atahrashi in Southern Elsweyr ... fun but harrowing. Just gotta find what you like : p

    Also housing! The true endgame ...

    And if you see any guilds recruiting, that means they're active during your hours—so maybe join up and make some friendos to do dungeons with. There's definitely like Australian and late-night guilds that have different hours.

    Depends on mood and a few other things. I usually let surveys and master writs pile up so sometimes I will do those. I have a 2nd account and am taking a new character through all the content in the same order my very first character did everything. Kinda fun doing all the quests again. I'd forgotten some of the stories and some of the cool things we see along the way. Other times I will jump on my main character and spend some time working on an achievement. Could be trying to get a trophy for those achievements or finding a motif I need to complete a set.
    For a while I fished but I have two master fishermen and not sure I want to work towards another.
    and then the parrot said, "must be the water mines green too."

    I highly recommend, at least in the short term until March 9 when the event ends, trying to farm resources in Vvardenfell and Clockwork City, as they currently grant double the regular amount and are usually difficult to get to before other players during the day. If you have Master Gatherer and Plentiful Harvest, even better. However try to remember NOT to refine said materials until the patch hits and you can max out Meticulous Disassembly, as it grants an additional chance to gain high end materials from refinement. I would also say that if you're just looking for stuff to do in the long term, exploration, fishing, skyshard hunting, and doing all the storyline and dailies in Imperial City and Cyrodiil is worthwhile when there are few players around to bother you.

    Eh.... I solo. So no one online is my favorite time. On PC NA, I'm always off peak, so that works well for me. PC EU, I'm always on peak, so not so much ideal. Years back, I could have played off peak on EU too - but living in the back of beyond, with issues as regards "real life these days" means I can't actually manage that any more. I guess its good from my PoV that I can play off peak on one PC server.

    I'm not meaning that in any way other than that for me, I have to temper my expectations as to playing on a very busy EU server when I'd far rather be able to be there at off peak hours.

    I have the same problem as the OP, it's great time to harvest nodes and complete pve achievements and quests in pvp zones

    I like to make some rounds in the Imperial City Sewers. Collect some Tel Var and Key Fragments, and enjoy melting some groups of mobs and soloing some bosses
