pvp event, efficient way to earn at least 2 tickets a day?

Aleris

Hi all. I am not a pvper , let alone for some bgs which i enjoy sometimes. With this event, it looks like to earn even 2 tickets I surely need to spend at least 20 minutes in cyrodil battling the others and more. Also the bg daily quest is not a viable option as depending on the quest you get, it may take you from 1 to 5 completed bgs to finish it. What would you recommend? Thank you

i recommend the Scouting quests in Cyrodiil, you can get them from the quest boards at one of your alliance's gates.

and for imperial city i recommend the Arena District quest as you can complete it by killing NPCs from the entrance platform.

You don't have to battle anyone if you don't want to. Here's a guide:

https://eso-hub.com/en/events/whitestrakes-mayhem

Just do the town quests, and IC quests if you want to earn three tickets. They are all extremely easy quests to do, and you can even do them now if you like on an unpopulated campaign, then turn the quests in during the event itself.

During the event there are extra 7 day campaigns available. I take one character that I'm doing nothing else on into the 7 day no CP (very quiet usually) and park them in Cheydinhal in Cyrodiil. Every day I'll do all the quests, takes around 15-20 minutes but you can just do one.
Mostly they are around the town with minimal pve combat. Then I back into a corner, crouch and log out. Most days I'm still there when I log back in.

For the IC tickets (I haven't checked if they're giving any, but they usually do) start today. Go do as many quests on as many characters as you like then hand them in, one a day during the event.

Have this one bookmarked and don't remember if @VaranisArano has made new one. It covers probably all pain points for pve player dipping its toe in pvp event: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/612508/whitestrakes-mayhem-101-july-2022

Also the site from @BenevolentBowd has detailed guides for Cyrodil daily quests : https://benevolentbowd.ca/games/esotu/esotu-cyrodiil-do-you-know-about-the-pve-daily-quests/

For current event it is:
"Two Event Tickets from the first Cyrodiil or Battleground daily quest
These include Bounty Board quests, a Town Daily, the Conquest Board quests, or the daily Battleground quest
One Event Ticket from an Imperial City District daily quest"*

The Imperial City ones are very easy, but some require you to go to specific locations—so they're more crowded and campable. In addition to the Arena, I recommend the Arboretum, as well.

For both, it takes like 4 minutes if you actually jump off the platform and kill stuff. Don't worry about dying lol. Death is temporary, efficiency is forever.

For Cyrodiil, there are some town dailies like Chorrol (DC side) that are usually pretty empty. It's because the towns that don't have the alliance flags and can't be captured are generally less active with players.

Sluggy

Make a nightblade, have enough mag regen to perma cloak. Do a daily quest in Bruma, Cropsford, or Vvlastaraus in an empty campaign. I never understand why people have such difficulty with it. It is honestly one of the fastest and easiest tickets quests in the game. I've never once engaged in PvP doing it unless I specifically chose to.

If you have the time, prep the quests beforehand and turn them in daily over the course of the event

kargen27

The Arena area quest mentioned above is probably the easiest in Imperial City if you don't want any chance of PvP.

A friend with several accounts all with max number of characters on each account loads up his characters ahead of time with town quests (prefers Cropsford) and then parks each character near the turn in NPC. He goes to the less used campaign. Then during the even he logs into one character turns in the Cyrodiil quest ports to Imperial City and either turns in a quest he did before the event or jumps up to the Arena to do that quest.
Next day he uses a different character also sitting near turn in point in Cyrodiil. Only way he can get all the tickets on all his accounts and still do some other activities.

thank you for all the advices

Cyrodiil is not the problem. IC is.

Two tickets for Cyrodiil. Can be anything. Can be battle missions, can be city dailies, can be scouting missions. These are time consuming but easy.

One ticket for IC. Has to be a daily quest. And good luck doing that with the PVP griefers. I just had one nightshade follow me around and kill me in 4 different districts rather than let me collect quests to turn in next week. I hate PVP events so much. But you don't have any choice. If you don't' do them then you don't get tickets.. if you don't get tickets then you can't get the whatever the stupid Molag Bal pet is going to transform into.

There are only so many tickets a year... if you don't do the PVP.. then you lose out on the collectibles. So right now my blood pressure is too high and my husband is ready to divorce me.... because I hate IC so freaking much.

And I get no endeavor points this week? What kind of BS is that? PVP or Trials? I might be able to go through the mind killingly frustrating process of the daily quests in IC... but at least I don't actually have to win a duel. I have 10K hours in this game. I've never killed anyone. At least not on purpose. But the only way I can get endeavors this week is to actually learn how to kill people? Or try to get into a 'casual' trial? FOUR times? How many hours does a trial take? Who the heck does that? I can't believe that is even a real thing.

I hope our choices are better next week. The event hasn't even started yet and I'm already so tired of this bs... IC is a cesspool.

And the IC ticket?

I cant belive people still compaling about IC ticket.
Have you read previous post?

I will write here another time:
ARENA
DAILY QUEST
YOU CAN DO IT
IN TWO ALLIANCES
WITH NO NEED
OF JUMPING DOWN
FROM THE SAFETY
OF YOUR BASE
JUST USE
SOME RANGED ATTACK
ON THE DAEDRA NEAR CITIZEN
AND YOU WILL DO
QUEST
WITH
ZERO CHANCE
OF ENGAGING
IN PVP.

Bank all tel var and drop down. You lose nothing.

Sometime ago during MYM I did this quest naked with no skills, just to prove a point. So what if I died 5 times, it was still faster than camping on platform.

Best method was to start on adjacent district and run straight to door - you will have 20 seconds of invulnerability during which you can still free citizen. Repeat as many times as needed. Elven quest can be done this way as well.

Assist is enough for kill credit, throw aoe in a choke during massive fight and it will complete itself in a minute.

Do the IC quests before the event, but don't turn them in. You are now sitting on 6 days worth of quests. Turn one in per day for the ticket. If you do the quests with 2 toons, that's 12 days of quests ready.
I also suggest turning in the Arena district one first, as it's probably the easiest to do. In case you need to repeat any of them.

Exactly the same deal. Perma cloak. Pack some speed too. The Wild Hunt ring, swift traits, or Race Against Time are all great for this. Again if you pick the right time and keep you wits about you it's pretty fast and easy most of the time.

Typically people will run the quest they find fastest and easiest to do. For me that is always the Elven Garden or Noble's District. Your mileage may vary. If you do the quest the day before you can turn it in the next day and then start the same quest again so that it's ready for the next. That way you have a whole 24 hours of buffer time.

I won't say you absolutely won't get into a fight, but honestly it is quite rare. A lot of folks are just like you, scared and trying to get in and out. Even *I* ignore most people because I'm just not interested in fighting random questers while also doing my own quest. I can probably count the number of fights I've been forced into on one hand in the years that I've been doing this event ticket. And if someone really is camping, just have a moment's patience and wait it out. They'll spot another target and given chase. That's your chance. Don't sweat it if someone jumps you, try to get away or fight back. Don't panic. Just take a breath and take it slow. You might even win. And if not it's no big deal. Try again in like two minutes. I can really say it has honestly never taken more than ten minutes for me to do this ticket quest and maybe ten more minutes for the Cyrodiil quest if I have to ride all the way from the gate to one of the towns (usually the Cyrodiil quest takes like two minutes if I can port right in or if I log out just outside of the town).

Log in to an campaign where your faction own little. Get an scouting quests, go to an campaign where your faction own the location and write the report, port back, hand in then needed.
Do this even if active during the event as you might not have time some days.

If you use Arena district and a bow or staff, you can do it without ever leaving the starting platform..... only need one light attack on one of the enemies in reach, and you get credit for the civilian rescue.... I've done it with ONE shot on one guy, and got credit.

I always do the scouting missions in Cyrodiil if I'm just after the tickets. Town quests can be done if it's quiet but you risk getting ambushed by campers.

IC is more tricky because you have to get out there and do the district quests. The advice used to be to go to the Arena district and just snipe at npc enemies from above but those who farm pve players during Mayhem have gotten wise to this and have started knocking people off so they can get whatever thrill they get from killing a player who had no chance to fight back. I usually do the Arboretum quest because the targets needed to complete the quest are all over and you can stealth inbetween. Quests with static objectives risk gankers. Having to move around the map takes longer but you're less likely to get picked off.

Pack invisibility potions, Essence of Speed and Essence of Immovability (if you can make or buy) which will give you a chance to hide, flee or stand you ground if you want to. Be aware of your surroundings and hide in place when you need to. Fleeing a fight has a small chance of success but it depends on who you run into: my experience has been that most of the time you will just be shot in the back while running away but occaisionally the other player will get the message.

I love those people -- I will go so far as to run back down and deposit every telvar I get, or even go up there and play bait character, hopping around, while others get their quests done, just so that the person killing me gets no telvar stones .... so what if you get a little AP ---- you wasted time.

Yeah, I find them kind of annoying but I also don't tend to carry telvar so while they're doing their thing I'm just there going "well done, you just earned absolutely nothing, congrats!" . Gets even sillier when they immediately kill me again just after I come back...just desperate for the validation or something I guess.

For the scouting missions, pick up the quest in a campaign where your faction has as few keeps as possible. Then move to a campaign where your faction has as many as possible. Hopefully your scouting mission will be in safe territory.

Just drop the battleground quest till it's the one you want
