Summerset Surveys

Lerozain

Where are they? It's been like 7 years, and Summerset is still the only chapter zone that doesn't have crafting profession surveys.

Please consider putting them in. The surveys give players periodic incentive to return to a zone. Right now there is very little incentive to travel to Summerset outside story, scrying grind and psijic line.

Currently, it's easy to forget the place even exists once those are done. Let's get some Summerset surveys going, the zone deserves more traffic.

This will fix ESO 🥲

The game has less traffic in summerset due to:

1) Player count decrease due to both holiday season & decreasing player counts overall

2) An event in high isle

Yes, yes, many reasons, we all know HI event happening now. But the lack of surveys is an oversight that should be addressed, and will result in more traffic to the zone.

It is weird that it's a major zone without any.

I'd rather have them remove surveys from all zones except the base game to reduce inventory clutter.

Maybe there is a lore reason for that. Since as far as i remember that island was not accessible to others.

I'd rather things like surveys and crafting writs would only be for areas you actually had access to. It shouldn't be that hard to code such a check.

It is especially strange since Wrothgar, Craglorn, and Coldharbour have multiple of each survey type. I know chances are they're different since they were some of the first map expansions, but it still sucks that they get so many while one of the most beautiful zones get none.

It'd be nice if they added Summerset surveys by reducing the amount in one (or all) of these other locations and translating those removed surveys into a matching Summerset one. Then we could have a handful fewer surveys and Summerset would be able to have a set.

I would hope you only get surveys for areas you can get to.

Treasure maps you can sell/give away.

You only get surveys for areas you have access to. My alt account was only getting base game and Vvanderfell (which came with base game), until they gave away Wrothgar - now I get these too. Wasn't getting any DLC surveys during free eso plus trials either. I don't know how "real" sub affects this.

I don’t need more survey maps, I have to stop a couple of times a week and do them just to clear space in my inventory.

I would vote for fewer surveys, maybe only one per zone instead of several.

The absence of surveys on Summerset has always bothered me. I can't lie.

I for one am grateful that there aren't surveys in Summerset.

Jewellery has 100% chance of being placed near Dusk Keep and Blacksmithing on the Cathedral of Webs.

Clothing in all likelihood three quarters of the way upstream from Rellenthil (so is still a chore to get to even if you shortcut through Cey-Tarn Keep).

Alchemy all the way past Welenkin Cove.

And so on and so forth...

I don't think this is the biggest issue in the world, but I'd much rather have had a series of Summerset surveys than multiple Coldharbour ones.
(The other multi-ones are ok because Nirncrux is nice and Orcs are the best)

But seriously, the one thing that's ben annoying me about the surveys lately is that they're getting more and more spread apart. The basegame ones are great since all 6 nodes are in one area and you don't really even need to move your character to get them all. But then you get things like WSkyrim Jewelry or High Isle Blacksmithing where the nodea are miles apart? Or Blackwood's Jewelry that's an hour's walk from any wayshrine? That's when it becomes frustrating.

I see your Blackwood Jewellery and raise you West Weald Blacksmithing.

That's because those three zones were the only ones with end-game materials before One-Tamriel. So you wouldn't get or use any other surveys if you reached the veteran level 10-12-14, and you'd only turn in the crafting dailies in Coldharbour, then Craglorn, then Wrothgar.
