Come on ESO...

You have a great idea ....

Only to Mess it up and place the rich ore in a INFESTED Mob area where there is no way in hell you can clear all Mobs (solo) to farm nodes..

Seriously?

What a joke..............

And since we on the F### U# subject,,,thanks for breaking stealth and now when we swap weapons we are detected....My god ....lol

If you break something, you can glue it back together and fix it, but, it will always be broken...

    I would ask for help in zone chat. Or wait a few moments and someone will probably come by with the same report and the same need to kill those mobs.

    uhh, you can stealth around and once you aggro, back up and it will reset quickly. i've come across many people of different levels do the same and it was no problem.... This is regarding Backsmith Writ 2 Survey. So I don't understand your frustration

    Yeah this is Clothier survey III

    tons of Iron orcs in their silly "parking spots" that pretend not to notice you right in front of them until you step into their magic agro circle. Completely frustrating.

    And beyond that. Look at the "rewards" if you don't get a survey report.

    This is after making six bows and 2 sheilds which takes almost a stack of nightwood mats.

    oooh 1 piece of jade, a repair kit and a white staff. Aww you shouldn't have.

    WHY THE HELL WOULD I NEED A WHITE STAFF, I JUST BLEW A WHOLE STACK OF NIGHTWOOD ON MAKING STUFF?

    You got enough gold at turn in to cover the materials. These items are extra and were in the Woodworker's case. Not much in this instance but you're still ahead and once in a while (fairly frequently) you'll land something worth big bucks. You can't expect big rewards without the chance for meh rewards too.

    Might be better to just let the price of nirncrux come right down from all the people doing these stupid timewasting quests and flooding the market, and continue selling raw mats etc...and just buy the now cheap nirncrux :3

    This seems to be the case. I just located the "cache" which was about 4 lush voidbloom plants that gave me about 7 raw voidbloom each.

    Honestly it would have been faster to just run around craglorn and farm voidbloom without blowing a whole stack of mats and doing a glorified fetch quest.

    This quest is just more thinly veiled "content" for people who like PvE content. There is no real gold or material value for actual crafters in this game. Their time would be better spent elsewhere.

    It's MAINLY for leveling your professions. ANYTHING ELSE is just gravy. If you want to roll the dice and risk a stack of VR14 mats on the chance of getting a piece of nirnhorn, then it's your decision to do so.

    Its clearly a gamble as with many daily's in mmo's. Sometimes you get the jackpot, sometimes you don't.
    At least the spelling is difficult for you.

    I get that they can't have a jackpot every time and don't expect that but they could have put the reward floor a bit higher. I have gotten a single jade as reward more than once. That's just a ludicrous reward for the materials spent. Also, every repair kit I have gotten is for below 50 so not even usable by my vet characters. Why even include that garbage?

    One possible positive in all this is that it should clear out the stacks and stacks of material reserves people have and maybe increase the pathetic value of crafting mats. Currently stacks of crafting mats sell for barely more than what a vendor will give you (400g). I expect in the next week or two stacks of crafting mats will go back up as more and more people continue to do writs and consume all the material reserves.

    I believe that map leads to a spot that you have to get to from north of the option with some kind of cultists up a small road. There is a ruin there with a 2 dot mob in the middle surrounded by a bunch of regular ones. It is just down the hill from there
    So far, I have done 5 different maps and none of them were in agro range of any mobs. Close, but I could still get them all.

    I had one that was a BS survey report and there was a wasp hive almost on top of the nodes. No way to get them without aggro. As a V12 NB it was not easy for me to kill a swarm of V13 wasps that spawn even more once aggro'd. I did manage to kill them after a couple deaths but I don't see why these writs should require you to kill a pack of mobs like that to complete.

    Certification nodes are not instanced but they re-spawn rather quickly anyways.

    Just to be perfectly clear...

    1. You dont HAVE to do these quests to get Nirnhoned stones. They can drop from ANY crafting node in northern Craglorn. Heck I have gotton MORE from non-map ones than from map ones.

    2. Those "Nirnhoned" quests, as the OP called them, do not guarantee a drop.

    But, yeah.. that one location in particular is horribad. I just expect to die and then run to the node while I am liquid dead. You have to get past a couple packs of 7-10, depending on how many summon pets.
