Good to know thank you, Ill definatly take a chance on the mobs there.

I was trying annomalies and I must say it is better for me to wait for non vet campaign and make alts everytime I hit level 50. Veteran content is way too slow and grinding I hate.

You should complete the Cadwell's Silver quests at a minimum so you can unlock the VR6-10 zones in AD territory. You can then decide if you wish to continue questing and wrapping up the DC content or move on to grinding in Craglorn or fighting in Cyrodiil or completing Cadwell's Gold in the AD zones.

I just finished this last night, Septima Tharn was the hardest fight I took on in this game by far. As a Nightblade who has gotten through any situation using a combination of stealth and single target burst, her "Army" she spawned was rediculouly broken. I couldn't even get one down before the whole group was on me.

Needed a off spec resto-staff build and a Templar to help me take it down.

Awesome, between FvFvF and mob grinding I'm sure I can make it to 12 soon.

Thank you guys for the responses!

Ignoring skill points?

I have used a single build that no longer can benefit from skill point additions (i.e. all passives and active skills are taken in the respective skill line.
I have 43 skill points just sitting on my character sheet because I have yet to find a weapon I actually care about more then dual daggers.

Not to mention the fact that I am not going to just forget they exist, I just don't want to wait another 2 months doing something I dislike only to get to make it to Craglorn as it becomes outdated.

I can try to go back and finish exploring/questing on my own time.
(and trust me, I plan to eventually)

And although the "lore" of this game explicitly tells me that it's all an "Illusion" of helpping the bad guys, that doesnt remove the fact that the actual person (me) does not find it interesting at all. I just did all of these for The Skald King, I don't want to do it again, and then a third time.
If I wanted to "experience" the Aldmeri Dominion or the Daggerfall Covenant I would have rolled on their faction, or at least made an alt.

The fact that this is REQUIRED to progress into new content is what I dislike, not that I GET to do it.

One build really? Would love to see your set up, since it seems to work with all encounters. Sounds like you have plenty of room for crafting perks. I personally would like some felxabilty to perform multiple roles

However that assumption is wrong. You don't need to grind vr to go to craglorn, you just need to do certain quests to move on to cadwell's gold, however people that have3 already defeated molag bal, can travel stieght to coldharbor from any of these cities no mater what faction you are currently in. Mornhold, Eldenroot, and .....Daggerfall or wayrest i can't remember, regardless you only need to be vr

I have every skill in dual wield unlocked, as well as all armor types (save the last 2 in light armor). All of my class skills are taken, except for the increase pot effectiveness in Siphoning and a 2nd point in The ultimate gain from Siphoning.
First weapon set is my daggers, which I hardly need to switch out of.

Killer's Blade first for execute spell (heal morph for survive), and Blood Craze for a dot and HoT (sometimes I swap this spell for Blinding Flurry if I need more damage). Third spell is Veiled Strike to reduce target armor and cost effective nuke, followed by Flying Blade for a more ranged pull or Whirlwind if I need AoE. Lastly is Shadow Cloak, which I use to generally one shot a mob out of the group to open and use to gain breathing room and increase my armor midfight.

When I weapon swap I use a resto staff in a more "janky" approach.
I unlocked grand healing and restoration springs to heal alongside Strife morph, Aspect of Terror for breathing room, and use volcanic rune in the last spot to even out pulls if they get to large. I can pretty much endlessly juggle mobs with volcano rune and then heal myself if a rune only hits 1.

I have very, very low interest in using any other types of weapons, and am using the resto staff purely out of necessity to progress through difficult areas.
Every MMO I have played be it WoW, Rift, Everquest, SWOTOR, LOTRO, or GW/GW2 I played a stealth assassin character. Never once did I want a cleaver of a sword nor a bow.
Why should I have to change that for this game, especially when the tag line for the game is to play viably however you choose to build your character.

EDIT: I would like to also point out, as this may seem strange to some, that of the 5 friends that started playing this with me, before they stopped, all 5 of us had at least 20 skill points saved at one point or another since we did not care to play something other than what we intended from the start.

Also, my question was not whether I could venture into the area, as I have stated I did so back at vet4 when it was first release.

But the mobs were very hard to kill before they would kill me and was not a viable place for a vet4 to quest and grind. I was wondering if this has changed with updates to the game or if they are still requiring people to finish all 3 faction zones before making it to end game content?

PvP was helpping, but unfortunately the FPS is terrible in Cyrodill and I cannot get much done my ways of fighting.

You will always need a group to grind Craglorn it has not changed. Find a group for burial or anomalies grinding.

hummmm the only thing left then would be Vet dungeon grinding, hopefully they will do some solo content soon. I have nothing against participating in this Dream of Meridia's where we go to other factions, but I am getting tired of that grind, that just takes the fun out of leveling an alt. I would go to PVP or Craglorn, but I'm a crafter and know I would just be dragging peeps down, until I get more Skill points

This is exactly my point. I am so utterly bored of grinding repetitive quests and I just want to move into something a bit more fresh and current.

Besides I dislike any kind of mass warfare PvP (can't stand thinking I'm just a number), and crafting was albeit a bit fun, but I got everything I needed gear and pot wise through just killing things so I passed on them for now.

BTW: I tried to enter Craglorn and like I previously experienced, the mobs are able to be taken down by a vet5, but it takes a while and I dare not say it's efficient. i joined a /zone chat grind group and it made things move a bit smoother, but it's such a boring a stupid way to powerlevel that I can't bring myself to stay doing that. So I would say it is not viable to enter before at least vet8 when you can have more health/damage output.

Last time I was aware dungeons award quests only on the first run through and the mob xp was below subpar. Has this been changed to help with leveling?
