Northern Elsweyr NEEDS More Wayshrines (Dragons Dead Content)

This event will fail on the northern elsweyr side if there is not more wayshrines. What is going to happen is that people are just going to sit at the northern dragon since it is too inconvenient to ride to the two southern dragons. It feels bad to ride on your mount for a few minutes to your southern dragon destination only for it to be killed before you can get there.

Why is it hard for there to be two wayshrines for the two southern dragons? ZOS listened to our complaints about there being too little wayshrines in greymoor and in blackwood, it will be 2 years of complains, but it is better late than never to install the new wayshrines.

    You know how many times I've died from fall damag on that map... despite the NPC saying 'watch your step in the Stiches'? :lol: I agree, another shrine would have been nice, especially for the middle dragon.

    Yeah. I won’t bother with those dragons I can’t easily reach.

    @ZOS_Kevin , is this something that you can pass on to the powers that be to make this happen? (Please)

    I don't think they wanted Dragon farming to be too easy. Which in retrospect wasnt really neccesary. They take quite a while to kill (even with a zerg), the xp you get isnt great and the loot isn't all that good either.

    I think the best thing to do is only having one dragon up at a time so if you turn up at one you know other people will too.

    And if anyone didnt know you can tell if a Dragon is being fought and get a rough idea how much health it has left by looking at its icon on the map. If the icon is flashing people are fighting it. If the icon looks broken the dragon is low on health and you probably don't have long to get there.

    Dragon farming is already hard with interest in them waning, so less people to group up to do them. People simply only go to southern elsweyr to do dragon things since the issue with northern elsweyr dragons hasnt been fixed.

    Sorry I do agree about the lack of Wayshrines.

    They actually added two in Western Skyrim because of similar problems with the Harrowstorms.

    Wasn't aware interest was waning in these while I was farming them every day (in rotation) for the past 2-3 weeks in both maps.

    They should add one wayshrine south of The Stitches. That would provide easy access to both southern dragons.

    You can take both western skyrim and reach quest for harrowstorm, do 1 in the reach and it will complete both quests. Isn’t it the same with Elsweyr?

    One at Cicatrice and one at Weeping Scar.

    Or south of Orcrest, at the end of the main road.

    Anyway, yes, more QoL for the world events please and not only the North Elsweyr dragons. I still don't understand why they didn't added an "active" icon to dolmens and geysers after adding one to the harrowstorms ...

    I tried, it didn't work for Elsweyr. You have to do 3 north and then 3 south ^^'

    As we already had an Elsweyr celebration in 2019 and no one complained,they most likely won't add any new wayshrines there now 2 years after release.
    Just do the ones in South Elsweyr if you dislike traveling.

    I remember back when I was farming these (when elsweyr was new), I would just ride back and forth between the two southern ones. /shrug

    Plenty of other things to complain about, though the few wayshrines could make the zone be used less, decreasing the value of that part of the game.

    That should be of concern!

    They should consider adding some wayshrines. It would draw in more players. Now it's essentially a dead zone.

    They weren't anyone important so they didn't count! You only count if you like exactly how it is!

    This event has reminded me why I didn't like N. Elsweyr. It's worse than Wrothgar or Craglorn for general travel. Just doing surveys/treasure maps is a right pain.
    So they raised the floor and lowered the ceiling. Except the ceiling has spikes in it now and the floor is also lava.
