43 total Pursuits. Pet at 15 completed, mount at 20 completed.

Which of these activities can be completed by players without the Content Pass? I've labelled each with my current understanding, which may well be wrong -- I'll update if someone corrects me.
N = normal game feature (10x).
E = event feature across Tamriel (14x).
S = only available via Solstice (19x).

    Well, I can't say they lied exactly about being able to participate even if you don't have Solstice, but it seems we're veryyyy limited, moreso than I believed we would be. Can't say I'm surprised as this is usually how the chapter-focused (or season pass in this case) event goes, but I'm not at all tempted to buy a $50 Season Pass for this FOMO event, a mount, and a handful of other kinda mid rewards.

    was just going to say i was skeptical when they said we could participate without the pass. event was not even up for an hour and there were several threads about how horrible it was to try to get a hit in on anything, how abysmal the drop rates were, bugged camps, etc. for months ppl have been posting about how amazing this event will have to be for zos to turn things around... this ain't it. glad i did not waste money on the pass. so much hype and secrecy... for what?

    I don't even think I'd buy it if they did do the usual 60% or so off honestly, that's how unimpressed I am. 🙃

    I believe the Stirk Fellowship repeatable jobs can be done at Stirk, so should be N.

    That would make 21 total for players without pass.

    The only GP objectives you can't complete without owning the content pass are the Siege Camp, Writhing Fortress, Kill Ghishzar, and the Writhing Wall objectives. That leaves 31 objectives that you can complete Base Game. You only need 20.

    Shouldn't that be twenty-four rather than thirty-one? (Still enough to complete the twenty.) I count fourteen siege camp activities and five for the others you mention, for a total of 19 that you cannot do without the Content Pass.

    It seems you are correct about being able to complete the GPs without Solstice! Those without the Content Pass have access to Stirk which is how we can complete many of the GPs and quests. I wish they'd made that more explicitly clear.

    It's not supposed to spawn until phase 2. It will likely be viewed as a exploit to kill him. Even mentioning exploits in ^^ that amount of detail has got people banned.

    Banning players because they cant get their event right? Seems legit

    Agreed. I'd misinterpreted the restriction at the end of "you must complete daily quests acquired from either the Stirk Fellowship Camp or Sunport Rampart Camp (2025 Content Pass required)" as applying to both locations listed.

    Same! I basically looked at the tasks and discounted anything to do with the new story/zone including the Stirk Fellowship. I do think it could be clearer for the average player, but I'm glad we can participate more than I thought at least.

    How can anyone know that killing a boss will be considered an exploit? That makes no sense. Are we supposed to check the forums before we kill anything?

    I'm going to be just a bit puzzled until I can get out and take a look at what's actually happening, but there are three pursuits for Soul Reapers and I haven't seen one since U47 went live (PC NA).
    I'm fresh out of outrage, but I could muster up some amused annoyance if required.

    I don't have the content pass and I've gone to Stirk and done the daily quest to collect vitrified souls (twice). I've got progress on:
    Claim login rewards (x2)
    Kill Beastial Daedra
    Kill Humanoid Daedra
    Defeat 500 enemies
    Charge the Meridian Lens (x3)

    So that's 8 which can be completed just by logging in and doing 1 of the daily quests.

    Other ones I know could be completed without the pass:
    Kill 100 foes in Coldharbour
    Kill world bosses (x2)
    Kill delve or public dungeon bosses (x2)
    Complete Stirk Fellowship crafting jobs (x3)
    Complete Stirk Fellowship Supply jobs (x3)
    Complete 3 trials
    Complete 3 master writs

    21 in total.

    It would be very repetative, especially if you don't normally do trials, but it could be done.

    Although since the mount is a bear and those give me motion sickness (which is weird, I never get that from games otherwise) I won't be completing it.

    Without Solstice, I only saw 8 or 9 that I would be able to complete.

    If you have the season pass, you can complete the GP in a few hours. I only did all 24 event quests on two characters plus two or three additional siege camps and the master writs one and have it already completed. Was actually a bit underwhelming as I expected that the GP would also take at least a week or two to finish.

    Note the announcement news post is misleading -- we can access the island of Stirk even without the Content Pass, and three of the four daily questgivers are also available there.

    Thanks, I just looked and just dismissed the GP because I thought I couldn't even get to the non-combat pet, without solstice. Didn't realize I could access Stirk.

    oh yuck... this is the first time i've ever seen them NOT do a 50-60% discount. and on an already increased price. got the email today and it was saying 35%.

    I cannot get to Sunport. It tells me I need to buy Solstice.

    Not Sunport. Stirk. The confusion is understandable because all these start with an 'S'. You should be able to access Stirk from the huge map of Tamriel -- or port to another player that's in the zone already.

    If you've picked up the quest from the Crown Store. Just go your your quest journel, hilight the quest, and select Show Map. It'll take you right to the wayshrine to Stirk on the map.

    Eventually I gave up and used the wayshrine. Turns out there's a portal in the Shornhelm Mages' Guild, Rivenspire.
