I tried that but there was no submit option. I selected flag then a category and put a little message in the notes at the bottom, but there was nothing else to press to submit the post I wanted to flag.

…Huh. I know I’ve had issues with it on mobile and usually have to rotate my device to portrait orientation instead of landscape. Is the window getting clipped off? The Submit button should be right under the Note box.

Yeah I am on my PC (windows 10) and it's clipped at the bottom so it doesn't show the submit button.

OK after hiding my task bar, I was just able to see the top of a box at the bottom, couldn't read what it said as it is still mostly clipped but I think it was the submit button (there were two buttons it looked like. I pressed the left hand one).

Zoom the page out. The box is HUGE compared to the rest of the page and it makes the submit button clip out.

Reporting is impossible on mobile due to this.

Don't know about anyone else, but after I looted my three thieves troves for the endeavor I made a point of leaving any extras I found for other players.

FWIW I see these constantly in Overland.

Pro tip. Fort Arand in Stonefalls is a good spot for Troves. Multiple spawn points in an enclosed space.

This is always my first choice, but you would be surprised how many times I go there just for the one trove endeavor and none are up.

I checked that - and many of the other metioned areas - and all(!) were not better or worse then any place I knew before.
It always depends if you are lucky or not. And I did the tests the day after...

This place was special because I didn't see any other player and I found 3 troves. So I was internaly memorizing it for next time. And then - for the next 20min or so I didn't find any more troves. So the respawn looks like everywhere else - random or a big big area where the next troves can spawn - and that was not inside Arand.
So - if next time there is an endeavour I will go there for sure, but if somebody was there before me, I'm pretty sure that I will not find 3 fast.
As I said - that was the same for alikr spots (I knew some of them already) or whereever some ppl were just lucky and said: "It's fine"...

It's probably your browser zoom level. Ctrl + mouse scroll button (down) should zoom back so you can see the buttons.

Thanks for the help, zooming down to 80% fixed the issue for me! Much obliged!

There is nothing wrong with this endeavor.

Those were realy good arguments - you convinced me

Nobody who is arguing against this endeavor is convincing in the least, either.

Not convincing to you. But that is the norm for these discussions. You don't mind it, but you don't address the specific concerns of those who are bothered by it.

Nerouyn · April 21

I always pick them up when I see them but don't bother to hunt them. I could literally only remember the location of 3 and none were there.

I happen to have recently installed an addon which tracks them though. That's the only reason I got this done relatively painlessly on one account. Didn't bother trying on alt accounts.

I truly do appreciate the extra seals but this one was potentially a big disruption to my other plans for the day.

KekwLord3000 · April 21

Honestly it took me like 10-15 minutes tops, I had all thief troves in summerset (cause I was farming for the music box lead few years back), so it took me like 2-3 circle around all of them to get the 3 for the daily.
But even if it would take longer, still you are getting so many endeavor points it's still worth the hassle.
Just find a dead zone like base game zones that aren't alikir desert I'm sure there are plenty troves to loot.

MidniteOwl1913 · April 21

I have a daily route for troves. I usually find one every other day. I checked my route and found none. I only have a limited amount of time to play. Even if I spent it all on the one endeavor I doubt I would have found 3 and frankly, I'm burned out from the event grind so I didn't even bother.

opalcity · April 21

On PS, so no add-ons, managed to do it on two accounts. One was prime time, the other was off-peak.

Prime time took less than 34 minutes (I know because I finished it before the podcast I was listening to finished) and the other one was done in minutes - literally ran a route from one wayshrine to another and got 4 troves, which completed the weekly endeavour too.

redlink1979 · April 21

Endeavors like these, or any other bottlenecked activities, I just skip them.
I just don't have the time and the patience.

Iriidius · April 22

When they introduced endeavours ZoS said it would be actions you do anyway while playing the game, but very often it is actions you normally dont do while playing or dont even know how to do(kill 10 plants/wild animals/clockwardcreatures but can‘t find them) (or cant do because you miss dlc) and have to invest a lot of time to complete(do 1 tales of tribute game). Despite using a map in Internet it took me over an hour to find 3 thieve troves because almost every spawn I visited was empty and many of them were hard to reach. And doing another endeavor that give 10 seals when this one gives 90 is as much an option as not doing any endeavors on 2 normal days because you loose about the same number of seals and not much better than doing no endeavor instead of this one. This game is called Elder Scrolls Online, not Endeavour Seals Online, so players shouldnt have to spent so much time doing them.

LaintalAy · April 22

I just do my normal everyday activities and take the Seal rewards as my activities tick a box somewhere.
When I have 2000 or 3600, I check what's in the store then.

This way, I don't stress my self out unnecessarily. Play your own way, though.

I hope this will not be a continuing trend during PVP events ...

I hope they do not continue doing this during the other events. Giving extra rewards for doing PVP stuff for example.

Shara_Wynn · April 22

Ah ok.

Much as I dislike PVP (because I am awful at it) I do think that it would only be fair to have extra seals of endeavors tied to PVP content also. In which case, I will likely just have to pass on those.

There would already have been many that couldn't get the extra seals during this current mini Thieves guild event because they didn't have the Dark Brotherhood DLC.

So unfortunately these extra seals are not attainable by everyone.

I guess balance is the key.

My issue with the thieves trove endeavor in particular, wasn't that I and others weren't willing and able to go out hunting for troves, it was more that there would be a bottleneck created by the number of troves available not being able to keep up with the number of folk all trying to find and loot them during peak times. I felt that ZOS could have made the endeavor require only one trove in order to complete, so as to take the pressure off everyone.

I got my three troves after about an hour but that was during a quiet time (morning EU). I was thinking that it would be a nightmare for those trying to find three troves during peak times, though it seems a lot of folk didn't have a problem getting theirs, so I guess it's was all done to luck and a bit of knowing where to look.
