Getting from V12 to V14

So, added upper Craglorn, a new trial and the arena.

Will doing all that new content result in being able to go from V12 to V14? Guessing not...

What will you all do to get those new two levels?

"LFG Tower Grind"...please say it ain't so...

    Well, I wasn't VR 10 when Craglorn came out but aren't those quests enough to reach VR 12? Besides, dungeons give nice XP, I don't see a problem if you have to do some after the quests.

    I plan to level up in PvP.

    Trying to find 4 people on the same step of the crag quests was beyond annoying ( and a waste of time) imo and I'm not grinding again either.

    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    Alright so... I'm confused... what was the deal with NOT doing anymore veteran ranks? That was their explanation... but now... more veteran ranks?

    Step 1: find the inevitable rapid respawn grind spot
    Step 2: zerg it until VR14
    Step 3: abandon open world Craglorn 2 when it's nerfed turning it into a ghost town identical to Craglorn 1

    I fully anticipated this move by ZOS and have stuck with VR10 gear awaiting a substantial enough stat boost to justify an upgrade. VR10 to VR14 is likely to be marginally noticeable as opposed to noticeably marginal VR10 to VR12.

    Hurray for arbitrary level cap rises...man is ZOS just stupid or are they deliberately sabotaging their own game?

    From the exp gains added to PVP and from what i saw with V10-V12 last month i would say you can probably obtain V14 in less than 2 weeks of straight PVP

    You can get from VR10 to VR12 by doing all quest & dungeons in Craglorn m8.

    lol, yea exp needs to be upped in pvp.

    I can go to craglorn and get it in 6 or 7 hours. Once again forced to pve to advance in any reasonable amount of time.

    The more VR zones they add though, the harder it'll be/less attractive it'll be for new players to join and play catch up. They should look at more horizontal progression systems.

    It also sucks that I purposed saved every rosin and D.Wax since I started playing until I hit V12 to make my V12 armor set.

    Prices for these mats are instantly going to go through the roof now...geez, how do ya make money fast?

    As a Daggerfall Character, I'm VR6 and just left Auridon. I don't doubt I'll already be VR14 by the time I get to Craglorn.

    I might be VR14 by the time I start Cadwell's Gold.

    Or just have fun in PVP for 2 weeks, 2 VR ranks wont be a noticable difference, and then after that time you hit them and can redo your gear. There is no need to grind or do PVE. If you are hardcore PVP you could probably do it in a week

    no way I am redoing my gear even after that. I -just- made a new set because I decided to switch sets to focus on spell damage instead of crit.

    You're probably right, though. Better to do it through things I enjoy, though I'll probably end up grinding it out. I have done it in past games and will no doubt end up doing it again.

    I should probably look at the stat differences on vr14 versus vr12 gear. Vr11 and vr12 were noticeably significant compared to vr10. I hope that will not continue to be the case. Gear going up exponentially in power really makes it hard to ignore the features that seem to be put in to placate a small portion of the playerbase.

    Is ZOS maybe just listening to input from endgame pve raiders and assuming all of us want the same thing?
