Hardest achievement in the game?

Carbonised · September 2016

Currently sitting at 17.125 achievement points, and sort of wondering which one(s) would probably be the hardest to get.

Some suggestions:
- Black Market Mogul. Fence 1M to fences. Currently sitting at 185k. Seems extremely tedious, if not hard.
- All trophies categories. Wow what's up with those. I have finished the dwarven one (only 2 items), but lacking a lot of the others. Some trophies seem to never drop at all.
- Argonian Slayer (PVP). I'm sitting at 5 out of 100, lol.
- Nord Slayer, 12 out of 100 -_-
- Crime pays, 0 events completed so far -_-
- Cradle of Shadows Challenger/Ruins of Mazzatun Challenger. Not really possible for mere mortals who don't play min/maxed stam builds with our similar bros
- Maw of Lorkhaj: Moons Champion. Why even add achievements that won't be obtainable by 99.99999 % of the playerbase?
- Cunning Scamp exterminator. I have 1 scamp out of 100 xD

Which ones do you think are the hardest?

Trophies, just because the rarity of the drops in relation to the rewards given. Crime pays is pretty easy, you just need to find a regular looking merchant next to a horse or cart. Chances are, you passed them a few times without realizing it - I blame quest markers for missing them; why click em if you have indicators telling you they're just a merchant! :P However, if you don't mind, you can locate them pretty easily via a map found online.

Moon's Champion
Grand Overlord

Actually, I think there are more players with Moon's Champion than there are with Grand Overlord

I have the addon for all the world event achievements. Still takes forever to finish them, since the RNG is bad, and since you seldom run pell mell across the maps without any aim.

I intentionally farm the Orsinium world events, and some times I have practically lived in Wrothgar for days on days while farming mats. Yet I only recently finished off the veteran brawl world event, and I still lack 5-6 of the other one. Didn't see a single city solicitor for half a year until recently.

With One Tam I intend to finish off the world events though, no reason to do it now before all the contents scale to my level.

That one is rather easy. The whole book is usually for sale for 60-80k. Bought mine long ago as one of my first motifs.

Of all the motifs in game, Akaviri is by far the most expensive, and rarest. Unless you only pvp and fork in a load of AP.

Regarding those that just aren't tediuos/time consuming like trophies and selling 1,000,000 to fences:

Whatever the name of the MoL hard mode achievement: hardest in the game.
5 Under 5 (and then it goes to 10 Under 10). Get killing blows against enemy players while under 5% health. Sounds easy. It's not.
Way way back in the day, many people would have put the No Death Crypt of Hearts vet dungeon achievemnt. Pretty easy now though.
Flawless Conqueror takes patience and it attainable by those determined to get it, but it's still tough and requires some luck.

Alanar · September 2016

I'd say Grand Overlord is the longest and Moons Champion is the hardest. Grand Overlord takes the more time than any other achievement by a factor of 10. Since you need 66M AP, if you earn 50k per hour, that's over 1300 hours of consistent AP farming. Even farming scamps only takes about 100 hours if you do it right.

Moons Champion is all about skill and teamwork. My team cleared vet Maw this week after about 170 hours of effort, we'll see how long it takes to get the rest of the achievements.

Flawless Conqueror in the Maelstrom Arena gets an honorable mention. It's easier than the others because it does not rely on other people, but it's still brutally hard.

The other long achievements such as trophies, black market mogul, etc, they just require time and patient, and much less of those than Grand Overlord.

grand overlord
you must have no life and play only on the same character in pvp

Moon's Champion includes difficulty mode, and a handful of other circus hoops to jump through in vMoL to get it.

Agree with "10 under 5". I currently have 5 under 5 done, but pretty much because I got lucky and killed off 3 people at once with my Inhale charging a keep entrance. Died pretty much the instant after, but it was nice seeing the achievement go off before that =p

Flawless MA is pretty much impossible for me, but I see plenty of people flaunting the title so I guess it's not uberly hard in the grand scheme *shrug*

Mogul can be done, just tedious.

But really, has anyone even come close getting all the trophy achievements? I haven't met anyone yet.

Just take a look at eso database. Baumlaus and I believe Kyoma are above 20 k achievement points.

My friends Lupusdiabolus and Jepix are sitting at 19k plus, with master Angler, all trophies and next to all dungeon achievements.

Not the hardest but the most monotonous achievement/s has to be the fishing ones.

Definitely not hard, you see quite a few master anglers about.

I have EP fishing and all DLC fishing myself, lacking AD and DC (waiting for One Tam to do those). Don't really mind fishing much, you get plenty of roes from it, and you can chill with some music or whatever while you do it.
Does take a bit of patience though.

Also, why isn't there an achievement for getting all provisioning recipes in the game? That is extremely hard. I finally got my last one a day ago, had been looking for that one for about a month in all guild stores.

Got 1 first week of pc release in stonefalls. I sold it for 200 gold. Seems extremely stupid now but felt so rich back then.

Rohamad_Ali · September 2016

Probably Emperorship . It's the least achieved achievement .

THEDKEXPERIENCE · September 2016

Got 5 under 5 this week and I have way over 20,000 kills in a year and a half on console. It sounds so easy but when you're looking at a once out of every 4000 kills ratio it's pretty crazy.

Lel Moon's champion is way way way rarer, 35 people in the entire world have it. There are hundreds if not thousands of former emperors over all servers.

I think you missed the point of that joke. They said it's the least "achieved" in that people don't actually earn the title.

LBxFinalDeath · September 2016

Hardest achievement that currently exists?

A lot are devalued due to boosting and cheesing the system (Emperor for example) but......I'd say getting the Master Angler title?

Its the hardest not because its the most challenging but its the hardest because it takes the most dedication.

Many achievements will become easier to get with time, Master Angler prolly won't.

I can see people much rather throwing their bodies at trying to get Moon's Champ over Master Angler any day of the week tbh even if they fail every time.

I got emp.
It can be done in a couple of days with some pre-planning.
What I hate more than hard achievements are tedious achievements.
Those include Black Market Morgul, Master Fisher, Trophies, scamps and such.

BruhItsOver9000 · September 2016

An achievement in my book, 1v1ing a skilled emp and winning.

That one is easy. Lure skilled emp into water, root him, fire away. GG easy.

I 1v1'ed an emp before. He didn't land one blow on me.

...
Actually, he was chilling on the outside of a castle... Away from his game. Got me my achievement though!

It's like a curse, so many bugs and the lag in cyrodill that hasn't been fixed yet, yet we still choose to play this game.

LadyNalcarya · September 2016

Pvp-wise, Grand Overlord
Pve-wise, moons champion (or whatever its called). I also think this is the hardest one, as overlord basically requires ridiculous amount of time, and its theoretically possible to get even if youre not that good in pvp. For moon champion you have to be skilled and everyone in the group must be really good as well.

Stormproof/Hist dungeon skins are moderately difficult and require some dedication.

I dont think that fishing and laundering are difficult at all though. Theyre just grindy.

Strider_Roshin · September 2016

Master Angler.

Not that it's difficult skill-wise; more like it tests my patience.
