Plunder skull farming spot.

Oakmontowls_ESO · October 2017

So I thought people might want to know of a really good instanced place that got can easily farm skulls as soon as the cool down expires. In the mage's staff instance in Crafton there is a mini gauntlet of 3 bosses. What you can do is kill the first boss for a skull and then either die to one of the adds that the boss spawns or die to the second boss. This causes the bosses to reset allowing you to kill the first boss again when the 3ish minutes are up.

Or you can find a easy group dungeon, like Fungal Grotto I, and just farm the (mini) bosses in there.

Each one drops a skull and it takes about 3 minutes between them, so you can just run the thing over and over and over and over ...

Most reliable is nMA. I did dungeons with random groups and only half the bosses dropped them because they died too fast.

Normal Maesltrom Arena . 3 min per stage, lot of XP . ( skulls are on the chests of each stage )

Or just sit in a delve or do dungeons

Hoping for an low dps group

Getting it and RoM

public dungeons works well unless to crowded.

nMA

It all seems rather extraordinary lengths to go to for some dead sticks

We keep having to wait between bosses in Crypt of Hearts. Even with random groups I just mention we have X time until the plunder timer is up and everyone is fine with waiting

@MissBizz

Well, it takes a bit longer between bosses if you run solo ...

I timed FG1 and i can comfortably solo the dungeon in 15 minutes. It has 5 Plunder Skulling bosses, so that's 3 minutes per Boss. Rinse and repeat ...

Maelstorm all the way. It wins on too many fronts

sevomd69 · October 2017

I've been using the Public dungeon in Alik'r with the Group event boss...the one with the puzzle...Kill the 3 bosses...wait 3 minutes...kill the boss next to it...I think called Sword Singer?...wait 3 minutes do puzzle...kill bosses...rinse and repeat...

FYI: You can't just do the puzzle every 3 minutes...You don't get the skulls...I think it is because drops for a boss are on a 5 minute cool down...If you wait 5 minutes a plunder skull drops even if you do the same boss consecutively...

And for God's sake...if you see several players not attacking a boss that has spawned...please do not start attacking!!!!

Crackwood cave is great. If you're on ps4 na please come. I really want AP and skulls.

BrianDavion · October 2017

I've been farming the bosses in the hew's bane and gold coast delves. maybe not the most efficant but I've been needing to finish the motiffs in that region anyway

T4T2FR34K · October 2017

Right behind the boss spawn point in any delve.

"Problem" is, the bosses aren't spread out evenly. Especially the end boss and the one before it are right next to each other. On my magblade, I end up having to wait around a minute at the Clatterclaw, the Broodbirther and Kra'gh.

The best farm spot is a private spot.

If solo, vMA/nMA is nice.

If you have friends who want to participate, then pick an easy dungeon like FG1 (or CoA1, so you can also farm for BSW and Sunder) and get the skull timer addon. We would push a boss down to 25% health, hold and just chill, and once it's nearly 3 minutes, finish off the boss and collect the skull. A skull every 3 minutes for everyone in the group. It's quite efficient.

You don't have to do them "in order" but yeah, there's not much to do in-between ...

wyterice24b14_ESO · October 2017

Get the addon= Punder skull timer
Pick a public dungeon
the end

Lady_Scorp72 · October 2017

Buried Sands in Craglorn is pretty good for a change of pace. I did some good farming there yesterday and I was mostly alone. The boss respawns after 3-5 mins, and so does the loot chest in the crypt behind him...double bonus.

Skulls also drop from the daedra & vampires that randomly spawn throughout zones. Also picked one up from the "Amronal of Valenwood" quest in Greenshade.

Pink_E_808 · October 2017

I'm on console, don't think I can get the timer, so I use my Crow Swarm memento, cool down is 3 minutes.

it's not random, they're called "Dark Fissures" and they are basically mini anchors. Always spawn in the same spots.

Waylin · October 2017

How is nDSA? Do dkulld frop at each round?

FloppyTouch · October 2017

With random normal dungeons ppl burn them to fast only get 3 skulls from 5-6 bosses. I found its best to do normal dungeons solo or with a friend lvling a new character. This has been working well for me. I’ll try nMA today

you can get lucky and get an low dps group, RoM or IcP also help

now we complain things die too fast.

tommalmm · October 2017

For me the best and least daunting is nMA on a low level character. I can complete stages nearly at cooldown. For fully equipped 50+ character it might not be the best (I had to wait before picking the chest). On the other hand, completing vMA in ~30 minutes is out of my range yet (usually 45-50 minutes). But it's two birds with one stone. Skulls on cooldown and quite a nice EXP (esp. that I had full two weeks of enlightenment ready on my PS4 account).

Zimbugga · October 2017

I want tell you secret. You get one Plunder Skull in every 5 minutes.
