This one just wants people to enjoy New Life for many moons. 🐱If that one does not wear a bathing towel, this one cannot be held accountable for any sights or lost wares.😸💰

Five claw is very astute and most sleek. Why doesn't this one watch your valuables while that one goes for a nice swim?

-Win a game of Tales of Tribute

I would change this to ‘Play a game of Tales of Tribute’, without requiring a win.

-Gain 1 rapport with a companion

I feel like this would screw over anyone who already maxed out rapport on all available Companions, but I admit I haven’t gotten there yet. Is it possible to increase it after reaching the max?

Depends on the cat.

You cannot increase rapport on a maxed character. But it is very easy to drop their rapport one, then almost immediately raise it. For example drop a fishing line with Ember around (-1), then take her into an outlaw refuge (+1).

I'd like to see an endeavor to catch 3 fish.

It needs to require a win so people don't just queue up a match and then instantly concede, since some may choose to do it through activity finder. I think that including npc matches should be sufficient to keep it easy enough to clear, since the novice npcs are designed to be beaten reasonably even by beginner players.

They all have some minor rapport events that are able to decrease/increase them by the same amount.

I never bothered with fishing until we had to do it for an event. I didn't realise how easy it was (boring, but easy!). This endeavour might encourage players to try fishing more.

Forcing a rapport drop then gaining it back seems a pretty simple endeavour - on par with the mundus one.

Doesn't that already happen with the endeavour for participating in a duel? I often see people asking for duels and agreeing beforehand who will attack and who will stand still so they can both finish it as quickly as possible.

Maybe it could require something like completing a game, with conceding not counting as completion. So you still have to go through the whole thing but if you lose you still get credit.

Isn't that already covered by the existing one for escaping the guards? I prefer pickpocketing the guards because there's always a chance I'll get something cool first, but committing a crime that involves them is a very easy way to set up for escaping.

I mean, yes, but punching a guard- consciously taking off the weapon and giving them a haymaker- is an entirely new feel and meaning.

I think "play" a game of ToT would be better than "win" since it's a daily and not an achievement. Making endeavors based on factors outside one's control like victory since it's based on MM is bad IMO. I saw your rationale on why you want "win" but I just don't think visctory is a good condition for a daily, maybe instead of "play" it's "finish". Others look good to me.

Now see I don't get rapport from entering a refuge, although she did once comment that they were her kind of people.

I really like the Inn idea! Absorbing 1 (or maybe 3?) skyshard would be nice too

I would if the endeavor was '' catch 5 fish '' or something like that. Otherwise yes, it is quite boring.

hunting rare 5 creature, and gain 50 endeavor money
How about make rare hunting animal (rare texture color), and scatter it at the specific area ?

There's a set pattern to them, so unless i'm missing something, and I'm including paid dlc in this as dlc isn't a shady practice, they all seem to be obtainable, no matter how much you've progressed. The ones that are not, like the Cyrodiil ones (say you're a new player under lvl 10 on that day) only hobble you for a day or 2 max. No endeavour should be unobtainable to any character just because they happen to be beyond the point of no return. Max rapport or skyshards, for example. In a nutshell, ALL endeavours should be obtainable on 1 single character every day.

These have been included to bypass certain laws and to adhere to the rules MS have set down. They're not and never were implemented for our enjoyment/benefit. If we happen to have garnered some enjoyment from a particular one, that's mere coincidence and not because, we, the players, were being put front and centre.

Rapport is always able be gained because you can easily lose it then gain it back, as pointed out this isn't much different than the mundus stone one. I agree about the skyshards though.

I'd like to see one for the dolmens.

Yeah. People concede or afk in Battlegrounds or with duels. The difference in a duel is that both parties typically talk it over and agree to this concession ahead of time. So nobody's time is wasted and nobody was sitting around in queue only to not get to duel. Play a game of Battlegrounds is more disrupted than Duels, by people going afk. However, it's 12 people in a match so chances are strong you can still get to play Battlegrounds. You won't wait in queue for a long time and then not get to play and get kicked out of queue.

That's not the case with Tales because Tales is 1 on 1. And people aren't discussing it ahead of time because it's random matchmaker rather than an individual challenge.

So my goal is to prevent people from queuing up for a game, waiting a good while for a match, only for it instantly close and they get kicked back to the end of the line and have to wait again. Duels and BGs don't have that issue because one isn't through activity finder and the other isn't 1v1.

I do think that complete a game without conceding accomplishes the same thing though. So, perhaps that would be better instead that way the losing player still gets their endeavor done.

As I'm competely not interesed of card games I myself expected my ToT experience to be confused boredom. But when I actually started the ToT questline I was rather surpised how cruelly accurate that expectation was. I'd rather que to battleground and check if mudballs and pies work there than play ToT.

Hotdog_23

Catch 3 fish in a particular zone and please GOD no TOT endeavors.

Stay safe

DarcyMardin

Please, no ToT!

Lady_Galadhiel

I would expect some ToT seal activity added in the future, once High Isle will be included in ESO plus as more people will have access to it.

Ishtarknows

God, no cards or companions dailies please. Finally finished the achievements so I shouldn't have to see them again.

Fishing make a nice change though, or doing things that are more specific, like pickpocketing certain types of people/races, buying certain things from certain people.
