@BlackguardBob well achievements differ, and people value them differently. Some achievements are community based or players create own achievements and goals for themselves.

I have some level 20 players in my guild, who care about exploring and doing everything, including obtaining and using all treasure maps on map, before they move on to next area to quest. Preferably they farm the treasure maps themselves, but if they can't after a certain amount of time, then they will try to buy them from other players.

I have a guildie who cares about how many achievement points he has eaerned compared to me. It's more for the sake of competition and less about the achievement points themselves. It's also why the game doesn't stop at achievement points, he also want to beat me in DPS, healing, & amount of champion points (despite the fact that we've both hit the cap and the extra champion points are useless).

We also have a small ritual in my guild, me and the old members follow it. Once we create new characters, we go to the location of the Clannfear boss in Auridon, undress and jump into the water - swim out to get the "Slaughtered" achievement (get killed by slaughtefish).
- the undressing is purely to avoid armor repair costs, it has noooothing to do with us being absolute pervs ..none at all!

I wanted to work towards being a master crafter of everything but tbh I lost interest in all of my personal achievement goals when zo$ started selling the glass motif in the CS a week after release, just seemed pointless to bother working towards anything if everyone can just go buy it in the CS.

Once I finish the DB content, I'll be picking a new one to chase. It will probably be based on a color unlock or a silly title. The hardest part is that my achievement "street walker" is my sorc, which makes chasing the thiefcentric ones difficult. I only chase with him because he has so many and they aren't account wide. I guess it is an OCD flareup that I want his achievement bar to move further to the right.

I only go for dyes and titles.

Depends on my day. Sometimes I try an get a few, other days I do not care about them at all. It goes in phases. I get super focused on it for a while, then it fades for a while, then it comes back, and so on.

Ha, ha! Sounds like a fun guild. You know, I do all the stuff I can in ESO because I am a completionist. I read every book, go out of my way to find M'aiq the Liar and so forth. But it is not for the achievement I do this. I would try most stuff anyway. The achievement comes by accident or coincidentally or with the passage of time I'm my case. I was very surprised when I re-visited a dungeon and got the achievement for a Group Event when I was solo!. This kept happening to me when I was soling dungeons and the penny dropped that this was nothing to do with grouping up with other players. So there I was getting an achievement I didn't properly (but do now) understand.

As for the slaughter fish cheevo, well I got that about 5 minutes after I arrived on the starter island from the tutorial. I had no idea that could happen to me until it did and I burst out laughing when I got an achievement for what was really reckless and naïve behaviour on my part.

So you see, I tend to get achievements by accident that some of your guildies are going out of their way to get. Is all good. keep having fun.

I aim to get them all but am in no rush.

@Lightninvash oh god I can't even imagine using a phone app for that purpose. I mean I manually have to press all the buttons on my cell phone, because I don't trust the dictionary in it ...so every message would take me 5min to finish every casual conversation with me would end after 5 hours.

I feel old thinking about this topic now >.< *hides the grey hairs*

@BlackguardBob well my first time was kinda by accident too, along with my boyfriend and an ingame friend, near that Clannfear boss in Auridon. I remember we were chasing eachother ..when we got the achievement, we got a good laugh and that is why we hold the ritual there and initiate our new chars to be true achievement chasers

Maiq The Liar was probably the first achievement I cared deeply about. I remember that I promised myself to get that achievement by all costs and I was so happy when I got it... I haven't had any other achievement that has ment that much to me in the game yet.
..funny thing, I used to yell in all my guilds and zonechat whenever I found Maiq, and I waited 5-10min for people to get to him. That actually lead me in contact with a few people, that I consider some my best friends in the game now. We were guildies, but because of chasing that damned cat we became friends..

I chose fair but it's between fair and the lower.

A fair amount.


In all honesty, after the Cyrodill vendor Adhazabi Aba-Daro got introduced, achievements were the only incentive for me to go into veteran dungeons.

When I got the last of them (Elden Hollow Lurchers and City of Ash Colossi) I stopped doing them altogether.
I even got all IC dung achievements, but I occasionally go and do those two dungeons because I still don't have SPC and SM sets in perfect traits.

In any case, I will most probably soon be done with most of the achievements (at least the doable ones) and that will most likely spell the end of my ESO times.
Unless they actually provide incentive for me to play group dungeons again.
