Sooo...how do you spend your time waiting for the next plunder skull?

I spent the whole weekend plundering skulls and having a great time. After almost 200 skulls the monotony is starting to kick in. How do you fill in lull in the action in between skull drops?

    I whip out the banker and the merchant and then run around collecting torchbugs, spiders, crawlers, whatever is in that delve and killing excess enemies along the way.

    Well, I have no downtime, I don't farm for skulls. Doing dungeons, hunting skyshards, doing dolmen rotations; a boss goes down now and then and I get the plunder skulls from it as and added bonus.

    Go to the Next Delve.

    Since they "fixed" the quick spawning bosses we had, there is not much else to do. I also do Public Dungeons if there is not already a crowd in there.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    I have my internet browser open on half my screen with ESO taking up the fullscreen background. This way I can do internet things while keeping an eye out for the boss spawn. I'm fortunate enough to have found a not-terribly-populated dungeon to do this in, so I don't need to worry about it dying before I notice the combat.

    I really tried to get into the event this year but with not really that much new (yes, I know about the masks and furniture stuff), I finally got really bored from waiting the 4 minutes for the mob to spawn and gave up and went to do that "other MMO's" Halloween event. You know.. that one MMO that has flying and tricky treats you get from visiting pumpkins all over Azeroth and then you can turn in the tricky treats to get something you really want... instead of hoping RNG is on your side.. which typically, RNG is almost never on my side..

    I'm really hoping ESO will change things up for the new life festival. There is about no way in oblivion I'm going to want to do those same 9 daily quests I did last year.. especially if they don't offer anything new.

    I bought the new festival items so I wouldn't have to waste time finding them randomly.

    I can't pretend like 95% of the skulls aren't crap. 95 out of 100 is about 5 wasted hours.
