Where can a duo of V10 go?

My wife and I only get a couple of hours to play each night (if we're lucky) and prefer to stay as a duo whenever we play. Unfortunately, it seems once you finish Cadwell's Gold there is nothing left. We got destroyed when trying to quest in Craglorn and vet dungeons. Since then we've been grinding the Vile Manse due to lack of options. We did PVP for a bit but spent all our time dying and riding around to the good fights. Over and over and over again.

Is there a section of Craglorn a duo could do? (Without having super perfectly spec'd chars?) Any other suggestions?

    Have you tried PvE in Cyrodil? There's loads of quests, dolmens and large delves which are fun to do, also collecting all the sky shards, you will just need to avoid enemy keeps and battles.
    If you die by PvE in Cyrodil you can res in the same spot, it's only if you're killed by enemy players that you have to respawn at a keep.

    Personally I found Cyrodil delves to be one of the most enjoyable things in the game, they are bigger than normal ones and have multiple bosses. Plus the suspense of possible enemy player encounters made them more exciting.

    This has not been my experience. Doing quests inside a delve a death with rez at waysrine ended up being all the way at the beginning of the zone not the beginning of the delve.

    We did some, but with us at V10 and the delves at V5 they give very little VP and provide almost no challenge. It also takes forever to get to each one.

    For just farming, many delves in Craglorn can be done solo or in two.Buried Sands , Hircines Haunt.Chiselshriek Mine, Mtharnaz. Also the quests in Elinhir.

    no this is incorrect. I can confirm from quite a bit of experience that you can use soul gems on yourself if you die to regular NPCs. But yea if you select the nearest wayshrine option, you will go to the nearest wayshrine.

    Oops! haha... technical difficulties = posting too fast.

    Try this post out:
    http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/122757/level-up-from-wailing-prison-to-vr12-in-less-than-a-week

    I know you said you two prefer to duo but these grinds are absolutely the best way to get VR xp IMO. **IF** you prefer to duo because moving at the speed of others is too stressful, then ignore everything I'm saying here... I have nothing constructive to offer you in that case. :( Sorry. But I totally understand that situation and I wouldn't suggest trying to force yourselves into a grind group if you're enjoying each other at your own pace(s).

    However, if you just want to jam out the rest of your levels, I would recommend getting into tower run groups. It won't be apples to apples to say this but, in case it helps, I've done this run on my latest nightblade for the past three nights. I've run it a total of about 12 played hours and have gone from fresh VR2 to 25% into VR6 in that time.

    I'm TOTALLY guessing here, (cuz I didn't do this grind on my first char) but I'd be willing to bet that you and your wife could get to at least VR11, if not 12 in the same amount of time.

    **NOTE** if you do decide to go for tower runs, you only need to do a couple of things:
    1. If you get agro and aren't trying to tank, just block until someone takes it from you
    2. Just run with the crowd - let a few people go before you and don't start fighting until they do... at least until you get the hang of things
    3. Look up anything you can on the Tower's *second floor maze*. It will save you a ton of time and energy if you at least understand going into it that you'll have to learn the hard way what route to take.

    More on the tower "maze" it's not dangerous, just frustrating to first-time learners. Follow the other players. If you step one inch off the invisible route, you get ported back to the beginning. Try again. When they beat the boss that's past that room, the rest of your group will go back outside -- go with them -- come back when they do and try the route again.

    I know most of that doesn't make sense until you get in there, but don't be shy -- it's not hard at all. And... usually you'll find people are fairly understanding when players are doing it for the first time.

    Me, personally (Kung Fu in-game), I am perfectly happy to kick people who aren't willing to be patient with players who are new to the grind. It's often amazing how much better those players end up being than the ones whining, IMO.
    Let the elitists go back to WoW.

    That' a shame, I was VR 5 and did them all solo, so I guess I just happened to choose the right time to go there.

    I would suggest joining some of the grind groups in Craglorn. They get pretty boring after a while but you get great xp.

    There are these daily quests there as well. I am quite sure that you could find 2 more ppl for those.

    Re-running the public dungeons can help as well. They can be duoed.

    If one of you can heal good & you have effective AoE builds you can do most of Craglorn quests duo. Yesterday my NB DW/bow & found in chat random templar destro have done Archive quest without significant problems (when I put to my dw bar power drain & steel tornado).
    Or you can find third in chat..

    Grab a couple more in two hours you could easily do 4 vet dungeons or shadas tear in crag. If you a dead set on staying as a dou and not grouping with anymore pvp, pve in cyrodiil, grab achievements or work on alts.
