I did some Craglorn delves with random PUG's last night.

Am VR14 and hardly touched Craglorn, as I'm always usually one who hates speaking up in zone chat and asking for groups.

And have to say, these guys were an awesome group. Did not wipe once. Very friendly. A lot of fun was had.

Awesome! Always great to bump into awesome people!

@coryevans_3b14_ESO yeah, I definitely think I had easy mode on. For everything I did I had some very experienced people with me

Ooooooo!!

Sorry WRONG!!!

How rude!!

Oh btw hello all my NEW guildmates

A quick question regarding the XP/CP pots(and yes I actually logged in today)......

When you are Enlightened do the pots add 50% to the gains achieved then, or is it 50% to base gains only?

and a cute pup......

They add 50% to the gains received even when enlightened.

I tested out 1 pot the other day to see how it worked. Found an awesome person to trade 1 roe for 3 pots since I haven't found any recipe parts.

Normal play, it would take me 1hr 20min to go up 1CP while enlightened if I am grinding.
Takes longer than that if I am questing.

Each pot lasts 50min (due to passive).

In that time frame, while doing normal questing (though rushing from point to point), I was able to gain 1.25 CP while enlightened and 109k normal XP.

So, one batch of pots will allow you to gain approx 5CP while enlightened. But for daily players, you only get 1 enlightened CP a day, unless you have a bunch saved up by not playing. So these pots will be a huge help to Casuals to catch up to daily players when it comes to CP earned. They will not be nearly as much help to people who play while not enlightened.

Question.......

What is it about that little padlock on a Thread title that makes me immediately click on that Thread?

I call that the [snip] and Giggles indicator. Enter at your own risk for a good laugh or a long face palm.

Thankyou @Nebthet78 for that answer......

I do indeed have many days enlightenment saved up and a bucket full of crowns........

Interesting!

Edit:- I was logging in and selling stuff but not actually using my enlightenment.

NP... I have lots of enlightenment saved up myself. I am just going to be doing normal play for now until they raise XP in Craglorn and what not and then I will find a darn good grind spot and go to town, or until a find a decent grind spot in VR where I can also grind out fishing baits with out too much competition.

Don't know much about fish or fishing BUT Dreugh drop fish as loot and there are several good grind spots for them........

@MissBizz are they the right type of fish for getting Perfect Roe?

Yeah but those fish are already filleted so are useless. You actually have to spend the time to really fish in the game to get the roe and it has a really low drop rate. I filleted 300 fish yesterday and got nothing.

Basically I am finding the whole "XP potion" thing is a huge time sink into the game. Time spent fishing, Time spent gathering mats to go fishing to try to get one roe. I totaled my time spent to do these things in game and found right now, my time is better spent just playing the game normally.

Ok I just logged in to check......

When did they change this?

Last time I was grinding Dreugh(admittedly over a couple of months ago) they were dropping whole named fish not just the provisioning mat.....

It was annoying me because they kept filling up my inventory space....

Obviously ZOS were ahead of me with this one

Months ago. I have never received a whole named fish from a Dreugh and I have been dealing with them for over six months now on different characters. I would be farming them like crazy if they did.

It was at Vivecs Antlers in Stonefalls and I'm certain I was not imagining it......

I'm DC it was not long after CP's were introduced, it's my VR6 area and I was there whilst I was enlightened with my VR14......

One of the reasons I remember it so well was the abuse I got for being in an area that other players thought I should not be because I was too high level....

I was actually destroying the fish because they were of no use to me..........

It was not massive amounts but they were dropping.

Honest.

I was at Vivec's Antlers just a couple of days ago. I briefly got excited about the dreugh because I remembered getting fish from them before. I killed a few and one dropped a fish that was already a provisioning ingredient (ie. already filleted), so I instantly lost interest and just went about doing my questing as normal. In the end, though I got about 15-20 already-filleted fish from dreugh, and 1 longfin that I could fillet myself. I thought that was pretty strange...

Ugh... did nearly two hundred dolmens, and still no appearance of the Ever-Open Eye in Rivenspire. This is getting frustrating, now.

fwiw, the ever-open eye also appears in shadowfen and greenshade.

keep at it; you'll get him.

I recently heard that if you kill all enemies in dolmen up to the point they stop spawning and then destroy 4 pinions one after another there is a higher chance for a boss.

Is it true? Or its made up story, a placebo effect, something to give people hope?

I doubt that's true, it's just people trying to derive patters from randomness.

Thanks, I didn't know that. I've heard from several people in-game that the Ever-Open Eye mostly appears at the Boralis Dolmen in Rivenspire. Going to give that one a few tries, then hop over to Greenshade and Shadowfen.

If you're hunting for a specific general you're much better off doing it in your home alliance's zones, because pre-vet levels there's a specific zone (but not a specific dolmen - any general for the zone has an equal chance at spawning at any dolmen, so your best bet is to rotate from dolmen to dolmen in the hopes that you'll get to do the dolmens in sequence and minimize the time while you wait for dolmens to spawn) in which each general spawns. In your Cadwell's Silver and Gold zones (and Cyrodiil) any general can spawn at any dolmen. So anywhere other than your home alliance's zones you have the same chance of encountering a general, but if you're looking for one specific general you have a much lower chance of encountering that particular one than if you were in the appropriate zone of your home alliance.

The devs have said it's a myth. I've got the achievement for killing all of the generals, and I personally never noticed a difference in the likelihood of a general when pinions were closed early (which happened almost every time there were other people at the dolmen as well as me) compared to waiting until all enemies were dead (which happened every time I was the only one doing the dolmen, only because I was too busy fighting everyone to grab a pinion any earlier).

I just did some quests from the Main Quest, as far as I could, that is. After that I decided, to humor the idea, went back to the Boralis Dolmen in Rivenspire... and I see a dead Ever-Open Eye lying there. I rush in, kill a random Scamp, poof! Achievement unlocked.

Grats!

It's unfortunate, that. It ruins the enjoyment of a low-level player at a dolmen if a Vet comes in and facerolls it just looking for the general because of its spawn chance. They should make spawn chance in the Vet zones the same as in the pre-Vet zones, apart from the first zones. Since Zone 1 has no generals, Vet Zones 1 and 6 could stay with the chance of any general. This would mean that if it spawns in your pre-Vet Rivenspire, it should spawn in your Vet Greenshade or Shadowfen with the same chance, or in your Vet Auridon or Stonefalls (or Cyrodiil) with a lower chance.

Agree with that. It probably took me longer to get that cheeve as I did it all in Vet zones so as not to interfere with the lowbies.

I did it in the pre-vet zones, but if players were around of the appropriate levels I hung back and just healed or buffed them instead of stomping everything.

That's actually a rather handy way to level restoration. That's good. Well, good for me. I needed to get that up.

Well, it would be if I was actually getting any XP for those dolmens, but I wasn't. I was only in it to get the generals achievement and the dye that goes with it. I had to level my resto staff the old-fashioned way: by putting it on a bar that I swapped to while handing in quests
