TY ZOS - weekly endeavours!

Drammanoth

Now you can't say ZOS does not listen to us - 7 dungeons is NOT a PvP endeavour. And yet, you still get to claim 5k PvP currency.

Hatts off, ZOS, hatts off.

honestly the 1.5k tel var is pretty cheesy to do. and even if you do die and lose the tel var before the 1500 the endeavor count will still stay at where its at.

I did the 1500 Tel Var endeavor in one of the previous weeks wherein it was offered, just to see how much of a pain it would be (I rarely do PvP stuff), and it was much easier than I was expecting.
Though I do have to say, it wasn't during the event, and I never encountered another player.
I don't expect that will be the case this week.

So... who wants my Tel Var? Look for a big, busty Nord in white leather with a bare midriff.

Just be extra careful earning the weekly in IC. You automatically get 5000 tel-var and will lose half of it and more on death. PVP players know this. Maybe get to 1100 and then (from the safety of home base) open one of the daily quest reward coffers for the next 400.

I must say I enjoy weekly endeavours that autocomplete just by doing what I usually do.

You can complete the 1500 tel var endeavor without going into IC at all. I got it by looting the stones from the event reward boxes I got with the RotW mails on Cyrodiil.

Since the beginning of MYM, I haven't been to IC. And yet, you can see how I have completed this endeavour.

Trials weren't a PvP endeavor either. I will say at least dungeons are soloable.

I confess I didn't really see a problem with last week's endeavors. There are always some weeks' endeavors that appeal more or less to different folks, depending on playstyle, but I do think dungeons this week are more doable than trials.

(The Tel Var one is easy peasy for anyone that cares. I did one IC daily, killed a few extra NPCs, then opened my reward boxes and boom, done.)

And you have gall not to complain about it!? The audacity!
[/irony]
Yup - THIS is the right attitude. Do your job, get the reward and be done with it

I had yet to try an IC Daily so I did one this morning.
Got my big butt handed to me by enemy players 3 times (way too squishy; not properly geared for PvP), in the course of completing it, but with the boxes I'd already earned from Cyro since the start of the event, I've already earned 1200 Tel Var toward the Weekly.

I'm goin' back in after I change my gear out.

Yeah, I got the 1500 TV endeavor completed without even being aware of it, before I completed the 3 daily endeavors. It was very easy to complete, especially with TV being a frequent reward in the event coffers.

I personally would rather have had writ vouchers or gold, than Telvar. So I wouldn't be so quick to assume that ZOS has done us PVE'ers any great favor by still allowing us to have it as a reward for doing a non-PVP endeavor. (Though I did the earn 1500 Telvar through kills or rewards endeavor, like I am pretty sure the majority of PVE'ers also did this week).

Having said that it is nice to see that it is Telvar for the WSM/MYM. It would be nicer still if ZOS mixed up the weekly endeavor rewards on a regular basis, not just during special events. Rotated between Telvar, Alliance Points, Writ Vouchers and Gold. That would be... more balanced.

Just go into the Sewers and fight the mobs in the rooms closest to your base, you won't see a single enemy player.

Psst... the Arena daily. You don't even have to leave the relative safety of the platform. You don't even need to kill the guards as long as you are nearby while someone else does.

If you really want to, just get "close enough" and drop into a crouch. Go away for 10 minutes, when you come back you'll have finished the daily.

400 tel var for the daily reward with minimum effort or risk... you get this when you turn in the quest so it's safe no matter how many times you die before then, so once it's in the bag jump in and create some chaos!

I completed the telvar one just from the rewards in the coffers awarded for the daily quests that I had to do anyway for the event tickets. Pretty easy and incidental weekly endeavour.

Oh, I'm not complaining about getting my butt kicked. It's a PvP zone; it kinda happens. Especially if one isn't practiced at fighting other players, which I'm not. Yet.
In fact, I *did* change my gear out and go back in (my choice), and got my butt kicked several more times before pinging 1500.

And I'm going to refine my gear a little more and go back in today (glutton for punishment), because I need about 450 more Tel Var to get a Monster Set shoulder I've had my eye on.

I appreciate the advice, but I don't need to hang-out on the platform.

Yes it is. We all need crystals.

No, it isn't.

The currency source is PvP. Dungeons are PvE only. To give it to us was ZOS' decision.

I was referring to his claim that it's a PvP endeavor. It isn't.
You say so your very own self in your OP.
It still grants Seals.
So people are ALSO going to complain about receiving an *additional* type of [free] currency in these things?

Haha, people are going to complain about anything I wasn't complaining - merely responding to @moo_2021 's claim that it is a PvP endeavour.

Great that ZOS boosted us in this regads - 5k Tel var for people who dread IC? That's a boon.

I know you weren't complaining. You weren't the one to whom I was referring in that regard.
