weekly endeavor: kill 30 dragons

Brrrofski

Why are people counting normal dsa and normal maelstrom as end game content? You can sleepwalk your way through normal...

I believe 30 dragons is the number needed to get the maximum for the feat for kills in SE. I just did it this past week and unlocked the achievements. Wish I could tell the future and waited until now to do it though!

First, the mindless CP grind, now this thing.
And they do their best to make it even grindier.
Beside bs weekly endevors, look at daily ones we have for today.
forced pvp endevor, double dlc endevor, dungeon and only one that is quick and easy.
If I knew things would be this way I would never ever have multiple accounts.

Game became absolute chore.

I got 2 accounts,and play on both EU and NA servers and have no issues,just do account one per day for weekly endeavors.Daily portion is usually fast and easy.
CP once you get to 1200 it's pretty much all you need unless you got 1 char that you swap roles,switch pvp/pve alot,mag/stam,etc on all the time on each.
Battlegrounds,you don't have to win,so isn't too bad.Dungeon is easy,esp if you solo or get someone to help Fungal Grotto.Update outfit is only for gold.Weekly,do arena,those aren't to hard to do 2 of a day.
I only got 2nd account for events(extra gold box with goodies) when it went on sale,but kept going,so now playing it regularly,lol.

Blade of woe: no, I hate dark brotherhood, against my codex of honor. I am disappointed that we see such quests more and more. Very lorebreaking, and the amount of dead bodies in places like Alinor disgusting. Breaks fun aspect very much for me.

Eh, the Dark Brotherhood (and other groups of assassins & criminals) are very much part of the lore. I have one character who has started the DB questline, and they're the only one who has the Blade unlocked.

(I did the BoW task at the same time as the Black Sacrament one - the NPCs standing around in the Sacrament instance counted for BoW kills.)

So dailies for me today only outfit station and dungeon.

Whereas I don't do dungeons, so the BoW/Sacrament bit was handy for knocking out two. Outfit was my third.

Dragons: maybe, as the event makes it much easier. Still a stupid grind (I mean... THIRTY dragons, easy or not - this is real boring grind).

Well, all the weeklies so far have looked like they're some level of "grind", since they're supposed to be tasks that take all week / more effort than the Dailies.
(I've only done one weekly so far, and it looks like I'll be skipping all three of this week's.)

The way the endeavours are chosen this time is far from increasing my attraction to the game, in contrast. I have a "I feel pissed" feeling starting my xbox after work.

I find them either small easy tasks, or things I won't do. So they don't have a great deal of impact on my playing. Any I don't like, I just put out of my mind. No reason to stress about them. /shrug

It's just another option to pick & choose from, alongside quests, dailies, events, pvp, dungeons, trials, and so on.

I have 5 accounts. Both NA and EU.
And I do not have 10 hours per day to invest in game since I work, have family etc.

AcadianPaladin

Heh, I just figured out that 30 dragons is less than 7 endeavor seals per each. That makes it much more palatable for me to pass on that one.

Well no one asked you to make 5 accounts. I have just one account and just doing writs on all characters - 19 in total - is time consuming and I couldn't find the will to multiply that by 5 even if I was high on something

Tenthirty2

Made me smile to see the 30 dragons and very fitting during the event.
Already have 10 done and that was about 1 hour of running N. Elsweyr, so I should have the weekly done tonight I think. Esp in S. Elsweyr where things will be even crazier I imagine lol.

That said, it would be nice to see them provide dailies\weeklies consistently that players of ALL levels can achieve.
For exmp some ppl don't like to murder or steal, etc.

The only reason I was able to get 10 in a short time is I have access to and know N. Elsweyr and it's shortcuts very well, have all the wayshrines unlocked and have a mount that can move stupid fast.

But in those 10 there wasn't a single dragon that lived much past 1 minute, so a lower-lvl player is going to struggle to get the 30.

I know they have had many that were like basic deconning of gear, picking locks (you don't HAVE to take what's inside or stay in a building if you don't like theft. Just pick and leave.) and others.

And it's a new thing so I think we'll continue to see improved variety with Endeavors.

I wonder if it can go one week or even a day without someone complaining about the endevours.

Dailies are more or less Theives Guild, ESO+ or toxic!

Although I'm totally relaxed about Endeavours and only bother with the ones that fit my normal play plans, this is the first day that there is not a single daily or weekly Endeavour that either appeals to me or is available to me (notwithstanding that I have all DLCs and Chapters). Add in the daily login reward of Tel Var Stones for my PvE-only playstyle and it's a full set of Irrelevance.

Fennwitty

It can help if players to come to a personal understanding of how they want to deal with the Endeavor system.

By considering my playstyle, the past Endeavors offered, and the relative worth of a single daily/weekly in the scheme of things, I just don't consider doing Endeavors as important.

The game's the same as it was, with more optional stuff to do.

I routinely get 2 out of 3 done simply doing whatever I was going to do anyway. Only if I have extra time, like on weekends, or I'm stuck waiting for something will I intentionally review what the daily Endeavors are and see if I care to do them.

I just don't want to take on another 'job', so I don't consider it as anything at all important.

Understandably it's harder for some people to turn down the Endeavors but it's best in the long run if you set your own boundaries.

Guess that is the perfect answer.

Pretty much if it doesnt concern you, its not worth at all kinda answer.
Thanks, I guess.

I personally have been kinda fine with it so far, each week they target different groups (a pvp and two pve options or vice versa) though I will say it's weird they didn't do that again for this week. Still though, people will be farming dragons regardless so I don't see the problem.

Blinx

30 dragons seems daunting at first glance, but with the event it's very doable if you have access to southern elsweyr (at least on xbox na, many people)
the worst part was inventory constantly getting filled with loot, weekly endeavor completed.

I would say that it's your re-action that did it.

I took a long hard look at endeavors and realized that the more I paid attention to them, the more "grindy" it would get and be less fun.

So I ignore them. If I get a few by accident, cool. If not, also cool.

Let go of it.

WhyMustItBe

For those struggling to arrive at the next dragon location before the mob kills it, try this:

Dragon Next Location

Install it and the required libraries, then load the game and make sure it is enabled. It will show you a map marker where the next dragon is going to land, so you can start running there while it is in-flight.

In my experience it is 100% accurate 90+% of the time. A real boon!

Ken_Koerperich

Or just IGNORE it like I do, and be SURPRISED when it pops up you "actually" completed one.....

jle30303

To be honest, since Craglorn is part of the main game, finding groups to do normal DSA twice and normal Hel Ra or Aetherian Archive four times should not be so difficult. HRC and AA are relatively easy to pug.

Because they aren't beginner content either and you can't sleepwalk through it when your character has a dps output that struggles to get through vet base game.

While said dismissively, I think the implication behind it is that having more than one game account is not considered the "norm" and ZOS is not likely to balance around an outlier. Endeavors are just a bonus, and while I don't personally like the fact they change the amount of tokens we earn each week/day which makes it hard to plan ahead. The system itself is fine, it's there for advertising old and new content, giving long time players something else to keep them playing, and likely to fulfill the ability for them to say that every item they sell in crown crates can be acquired via gameplay. The biggest mistake that anyone can make in playing games with live service is to let themselves be drawn in by FOMO. I got taken in by that in a different game and it completely ruined the game for me. Best rule of thumb is that if you don't enjoy doing something, then don't force yourself or you will end up resenting the game. Seems like you really love the game if you purchased 5 different copies of the game so I would suggest this advice doubly so in your particular situation.

Ok so I've killed my 30 dragons in Southern Elsweyr already and as it happens did 2 trials too! 😎

Myself and some of my crazier friends have before now run normal Sanctom Ophidia naked, we have also done "all templar, only use jabs" nHRC, "all DK must have leap" so we can all leap at the same time and other such silliness......

My point being at this point normal Craglorn trials are beyond easy, we often take several below 50 characters with us and complete them easily.

Maybe instead of feeling negative get together with some friends and do some "silly trials", honestly you'll have a great deal of fun and do the weekly endeavor at the same time 💕

12 Wardens, with bear ulti, bear pet and bear mount nHRC is hilarious on the ride to the first mobs! 🤣

Just don't listen to the person who always says "lets go the jump way"...... you know who you are!!!💖

Epona222

I wouldn't mind, except I cannot get near a dragon fight right now without being disconnected from the server.

Zenimax, if you are going to encourage everyone to do the same thing at the same time, sort your servers out!!!

100% this. Let the endeavors be an excuse for silliness and inclusion of new players rather than personal grief.

Decided to do nMA instead, just DC'd doing that too.

I mean, yeah, but also five accounts would require a significant time commitment to maintain. At that point, saying, "I don't have the time," feels a little self-inflicted.

Killing the dragons went fairly quick for me. I have a fast mount so I could get around. I would start either north or south and if a dragon wasn't up I would port to the other. Sometimes I would wayshrine sometimes I would port to friend. Quite a bit of the time porting from say north to south back to north would have me in a different instance where a dragon was up. Just jumped back and forth until I got into an instance with a dragon. A few times I ended up in an instance where the dragon was to near death for me to get to it but mostly things went well and I finished all thirty no problem.

Then I deconned a whole lotta rings.

six2fall

Well dragons with event is definitely easiest but if someone doesnt have dlc they could just solo ndsa even though it is mind numbingly boring
