Mayhem Pursuits: Which ones did/will you skip?

Reverb · February 23

We only have to do 15 of the 19 options to get all rewards, which ones are people deciding not to do?

I skipped the dueling and the Cropsford quests. I didn’t get all of the patrolling horrors or the 500 Imp City kills.

Danikat · February 23

I'm not planning to do any of them, or play Midyear Mayhem. I don't mind PvP but I don't want any of the rewards and I've got other things to do.

Some might complete while I'm doing other things, or maybe at some point I'll feel like playing PvP, but if I complete any of the golden pursuits it'll be a side-effect of other stuff I'm doing.

Dueling, IC kill enemies x2, IC Patrolling horrors

moo_2021 · February 23

500 IC kills and patrolling horrors. It's quite annoying with all those gankers attracted by the event.

shadyjane62 · February 23

Finished GPs on 2 accounts in first two days. Skipped IC and BGs.

DigiAngel · February 23

Kill 50 in Cyro
Defeat patrolling horrors
Siege weopon damage

Hapexamendios · February 23

Killing players in Cyrodiil x 2
Patrolling horrors
Kill 500 enemies in IC

SilverBride · February 23

I already completed 15 but want to finish as much as I can just for fun.

I don't plan to do the "Deal 600000 Damage with Siege Weapons" mostly because I can't figure out how to use these things. I ended up doing it after all.

That leaves me with "Complete 5 Quests for Bruma in Cyrodiil" and "Complete 5 Quests for Vlastarus in Cyrodiil", which I will try to complete today.

EDIT: Can we do the rest once it's complete or does it work like Endeavors?

You can complete all of them. There just aren't any more rewards after the capstone.

The last GP let you see your progress on the extra pursuits, so I guess this one will too...

Get a meatbag catapult and aim it at guards at a resource flag. It'll get the 600k fairly quickly.

kill 500 enemies in IC
Kill patrolling horrors
Dueling
Battlegrounds

SilverBride · February 23

Thanks everyone, I will see how many more I can get done today!

NeoniKa · February 23

I skipped everything from Cyrodiil, so I only completed 13 objectives. I already got the 15.000 Tel Var which is great, and I'll not get the Mini Siege Mining. But it's perfectly fine because I would never use it.

I hate all customized actions; the original ones are all way better.

Tommy_The_Gun · February 23

Duels, BGs, Patrolling horrors.

TaSheen · February 23

Not doing any of it.

You quickslot the Siege Weapons, the damage counts when using them against NPCs so only takes a few minutes.

16BitForestCat · February 23

All of them, on top of skipping Mayhem itself, to the point I'm just not logging into ESO for the next few weeks. I don't like PVP, and no cute harvesting action is worth the strain on my temper and joints that comes from dealing with that level of toxicity that always seems to come with these events. I'm glad PVP'ers have something they can look forward to going on; it's just not for me.

(I also fully plan to skip the "Card Table Cavalcade" Pursuit that's coming up and will likely continue to avoid ESO during that time, for similar reasons. Maybe now my still-aching fingers can finally recover from all the XP grinding in December so I could get my max-level gear out of storage and onto my alts to free up some darn space. I'd like to get back to questing in Chapters I'm behind on, pain-free!)

AzuraFan · February 23

I'm not aiming for anything with this one. I'm participating in guild events that take place in IC and Cyrodiil, but mainly to get event tickets and some achievements. I got the first golden pursuit reward. If I get any others, great, if not, great. I don't care about this one. So I'm not deliberately doing any or skipping any.

KaGaOri · February 23

Got 15 needed for reward done today. Skipped 10 duels and both battlegrounds ones. Have 400 000 out of 600 000 dmg with siege weapons, so that might get completed before pursuits end too. I only PvP if there is event going and don't even have PvP build and everything ended up been easily doable. Only thing I'm not touching with 10 ft pole is battlegrounds - did one for last pursuits and thanks, but no thanks.

Reverb · February 23

Seeing some themes here with the skipped ones. Not surprised there are a few who are deliberately sitting this one out.

Shoutout to @SilverBride aiming to knock them all out today!

tom6143346 · February 23

I just skip all of them including the whole event . There are a lot of alternatives out there where I can invest my time better and get a ton of fun out of it . Maybe I came back after the event .

@16BitForestCat Where did you get the information about this "Card Table Cavalcade" Pursuit? Could you provide the source?

freespirit · February 23

@ESO_player123 it's mentioned briefly here...

https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Golden_Pursuits#Card_Table_Cavalcade

But nothing other than "Spring 2025" as the expected date.

That's the one! It's not officially announced yet. But given how hard ZOS has been pushing Pursuits and themes, and themed Pursuits, I won't be surprised at all by a TOT-themed one.

Desiato · February 23

Keep in mind that the "kill 500 foes in imperial city" pursuit also includes npcs, so it's actually quite easy to do over the duration of the event. It can easily be done in the sewers around each alliance base.

SeaGtGruff · February 23

I've already completed 15 pursuits on PC NA, but am skipping
- the wandering bosses in IC (which is partially completed, so if I complete it by the end of the event, it will be gravy);
- the dueling; and
- the two Battegrounds pursuits.
I might decide to work on doing them before this pursuits campaign ends, but I have no burning need to.

I've completed 14 pursuits on PC EU, and should easily be able to complete the siege damage well before event's end, but am skipping the same four as on PC NA. As on PC NA, I've already partially completed the wandering bosses in IC.

500 IC kills is easily doable in the sewers, although you do need to run around a bit and kill all of the mobs you see.

As long as you stay in the general vicinity of your faction's sewer base you'll have a chance to get support from other faction members and will hopefully not see very many enemy players.

Just shrug off getting killed if you do run into enemy players, release back to base so you can bank your Tel Var, and think of it as follows:

If you had not gone into IC at all, you wouldn't have had that Tel Var you just lost half of, so whatever you do bank is a gain, even if it might have been more had you not gotten killed.

Just remember to bank any Tel Var you got from event coffers or Golden Pursuits before you head into IC.

You can't finish GPs in 2 days if you skip IC and BGs, in fact, you can't finish GPs at all if you skip IC and BGs.
