Just logged on to check; it's not nerfed my fellow friends and Gryndra enthusiasts!

Grind away to your hearts content; the Five Finger Dance is never closed.

Remember, there's always another grind - Nerf one grind, two more take it's place. Hail Gryndra!

Will get to work on drafting up some more Gold / Silver grind resorts soon. I'm hoping to have an entire travel catalogue of all the grinding locations. I have a dream that by doing this, everyone can grind equally, fairly and most importantly - efficiently.

Imagine, a wealth of grinds where there is no overcrowding issues - this my friends is what Gryndra fights for.

Stay tuned for our future issues on Alik'r, Bangkorai and Stormhaven where we cover various delightful grinding resorts; Wayrest, not the only jewel of the iliac bay...

Sacadon · May 2015

I'm with you on that dream of yours. Same type of quest in Cold Harbor BTW, for your catalogue that is.

Mettaricana · May 2015

and now my bounty equals more than my entire gold gain in my eso exsistence..... yay?

I'm curious about future DLC - we've been told it will not be level-gated, they've said that you can do DLC with your friends, regardless of the level of everyone, the first thing that comes to mind is the "battle-level" feature of Cyrodiil.

Could this mean that DLC will be very viable and productive grinding locales? Possibly, I should hope so - even if DLC grinds are only 25% better than now, which will still be less than pre-nerf Craglorn but regardless; this would definitely incentivize me more to purchase said DLC.

Is there a bounty cap?

I got to 9 mill + on my main before I took a break to level my Nightblade - it will go away on its own after eight, maybe eleven years or so which is no problem.

Hopefully DLC doesn't have angry guards everywhere.

damn your screwed man. better start grinding some gold now so u can play by the time the 2nd big dlc is out at least =P

The_Sadist · May 2015

I wouldn't recommend this place for anything outside of lols or the 'kill 100 people because you're a horrible person' achievement. I personally have a 70k bounty, granted I went there simply to complete the achievement, but still! I think you lose 10k of your bounty each day, so it's worth doing in small amounts if you don't plan on playing I suppose.

Lol I managed to get 50 bounty in about 10 min with this. Good thing I do not play this one to much.

Daemons_Bane · May 2015

Yeah, I don't see the magic here either

yes they have respawning mobs, but it seems more of a way to get a really high bounty, in a very short time

This grind is not for everyone. This grind is for the connoisseur.

Instant respawn technology.

Before I got bored of the routine, I used to do this on three characters daily - within an hour, on all three characters I'd have two days worth of stolen goods to sell. So within an hour for three characters 45 - 60k gold per day, I'd then relog them 24 hours later and sell the second days worth of stolen goods to the fence for 45 - 60k once more.

90 - 120k over two days for less than an hours effort. Convenience. Not forgetting all the experience points you'll get from instant respawns.

This grind is not for everyone. My fellow murder enthusiasts enjoy it.

Calling it a grind for connoisseurs don't make it better

I really don't see the fun in reaping that high a bounty.. Kind of makes the character unplayable..

What DOES interest me is the 5th image you posted, showing a whole bunch of lootable corpses.. Whenever I kill a civillian, I get loot from the corpses maybe 1 of 30 times.. So I am a little surprised to see that image.. The only way I can get loot from that mini instance is from pickpocket

Teiji · May 2015

I'm not sure you understand what's going on.

I'll politely and considerately explain as I'm aware that this is an English speaking forum where many users are not English native speakers, so for everyone's sake;

Five Finger Dance is a connoisseur grind resort for several reasons:

You obtain great experience points
You hit the daily fence limit extremely quickly with green & blue quality stolen goods
It has non-player-characters that respawn instantly
It's an efficient usage of time for players that have VR14 characters [alts] which they rarely ever play; this makes the consequence of obtaining a bounty null in these instances
With dedicated inventory space, one run can obtain two, in some cases three days worth of daily fence limit stolen goods
Fast, easy gold means faster bank unlocks as well as the act of obtaining gold quickly in and of itself

Also, corpses that drop loot do not despawn instantly - so you can stack loads and loads of corpses as long as you don't loot them, then you can stand around destroying white quality stolen goods as you wait for respawns, this is good if you prefer to grind around the entire resort instead of stationary at the stage.

Daemons_Bane · May 2015

I understand perfectly what's going on, but I think you missed MY point

Robo_Hobo · May 2015

What if they release the PvP aspects of the Justice system before your bounties wear off, and it's possible for any player to attack you if you have a bounty of x or higher?

nooneonboard · May 2015

Bounty bar didnt show up in this area, and thought it was a bug or some sort of justice exploit. Went on killing spree, loads of blues and it took me around 20days getting clean. Heh.

Teiji · June 2015

Hello my friends and fellow community members!

Just chiming in to see how everyone is enjoying the resort, macro users and non-macro users respectively.

Paid the resort a 24 minute & 21 second visit earlier for a cheeky 570,400 bag of experience points, for some reason my fence limit reset twice today, so I even get an easy extra 19k from this 24 minute visit!

Personofsecrets · June 2015

Thanks for posting this. It will help new and returning players catch up in champion points to veteran players. It is really important that the community has spots like this so that we can help each other get stronger and be able to compete in end game with the people who used previous grinds which have since been nerfed.

Moonshadow66 · June 2015

I really hope this area is solo instanced! I'll be on that quest soon again and want to enjoy it.

nastuug · June 2015

These are VR10 mobs, right?

Correct.

I could make the title more reader friendly by saying EP Veteran - thanks for pointing this out.

nastuug · June 2015

So just sit out there on a mule/derp VR14 char you never want to play and farm CPs. LOL

As stated in the original post; it's possible to use this resort for experience points whilst not even looking at your screen.

Personally I like to login, fill up my inventory with 240 green to purple quality stolen goods then only logging in to sell them to hit my fence limit.

First of all, there's no such thing as a 240 slot bag space, maximum is 170. Only the bank has a max capacity of 240 slots.

Second, congrats for finding THE thing to do to waste precious time.
You should create a tutorial for all new players - apparently you have the absolute knowledge about how to have fun playing the game and still levelling efficiently while gaining a fortune in half an hour during sunbathing amongst chickens. Really, you should consider this!

I'm sorry that you're so upset, angry and for whatever may or may not be upsetting you.

Be happy, have a happy day.

Be unhappy, have an unhappy day.

Now, allow me to provide screenshots for context and begin constructing my reply to your post;

2du5jLS.png?1

The screenshot shows eleven [11] inventory slots filled. The amount of items within those eleven item slots is a total of eighty-nine [89]. So I have 89 items yet only 11 item slots are filled.

In total, I actually have 186 stolen items in my inventory currently. If you're curious as to what they are, I have included screenshots below:

Personally I don't see myself being in a position to create tutorials, I prefer to read the tutorials of great community enthusiasts such as Deltia, Dulfy, the many tutorials on this website and Tamriel Foundry just to give several examples, there are many great community members which have created tutorials which are equally great.

I'm humbled that you'd think I'd be capable of such a feat, but regardless - I'm sincerely sorry that this thread has mislead and confused you. It was not my intention for you to think I have absolute knowledge on how the great community members may best have fun, I'm simply sharing a favourite grinding resort of mine. Fun is different for each and every great individual too, so tis an impossible feat, dare I say.

Please allow me to explain with the following text; this thread details information on a "grind spot", specifically an Ebonheart Pact Gold zone grind spot - it is used to serve three purposes,

The acquisition of experience points
The acquisition of stolen goods
The mass-murder of filthy Khajiit

It is very efficient to that regard, also because of this it is suggested that players do this on a character, an "alt" even, this is so they may amass a huge bounty without it being a hindrance in anyway shape or form.

Moonshadow66 · June 2015

Understanding sarcasm is not your strong point, is it.

By the way, calling Khajiit "filthy" doesn't match your "poem-like" writing style.

Masuke8 · July 2015

Did they patch this? Can't attack anyone in there..
