Are they worth farming? Why or why not or other?

    You can get non-dremora motifs like hollowjack, furnishing items, cooking recipes, furnishing recipes, crafting mats, and random trophies for vendor around 100 gold.

    Not really worth “farming”.

    Farming dolemens in Summerset for rings to decon plus powdered for provisioning. If you’re low CP or hardup for gold this would be a great time to catch up. The skulls themselves prob don’t have much value for players who have seen one or more event cycle.

    Depends on what you need or not.
    Hollowjack is cheap. Furniture is nice and various - not like last year.
    Mats and things-for-sale not very valuable. Memento pieces will be cheap, I think.

    I don't think it worth farming, but, maybe, few more dungeons, with that experience buff ...

    Only reason to "farm" is if you've not played during this event before and want to complete the achievement for obtaining 100 in total or trying to complete the Hollowjack motif without buying any (can find them cheap if you shop around).

    Yep. I was really REALLY happy to find out that not only was pvp not a thing in this one, there were so many people in so many delves and world bosses that let me group without being upset about my lag that I got lots of xp and skulls. Went from level 28 to level 30 in one day.

    Amazing.

    My healer is loving it. Not only is she scoring lots of bait (guts & worms, lol), but all the dolmens, WBs and public dungeons have lots of younger players seeking out danger. . . and finding it so she has plenty to heal. ;)

    As far as loot, she just mostly likes healing others and killing stuff. She doesn't really care about purple skulls, golden skulls, Indirik mounts or motifs or. . . . She has, however, gotten a few nice little home furnishings like a lovely little cluster of mushrooms.

    I also have some of those oddball lights from Coldharbour if you want them. Not my thing.

    There isn’t any pvp stuff. If you WANT to kill bosses in the Imperial City you can, but not required. And only 4 pages are behind dungeons, 2 behind trials and 2 behind 4man dungeons. The pages behind arenas are subjective. For some people they do well in the solo arena nMA. For me it was better to do nDSA with 3 guildies. So there is an option to solo or group up for those 2 pages.

    You can solo the easiest 4 man dungeon on normal. Even I can and I have a physical problem with being a dps character. I only play tank or healer because I can’t do the “twitch muscle” thing.

    So that leaves you 2 pages behind trials. I understand completely not wanting to be in trials so I’m not going to say “it’s easy just join a pug”. All it means is that those 2 pages one will have to buy.

    No thanks, lol. Buffy does love to fish but her supplies are deep (~5K rations of fish and several K of each type of bait). :)

    I guess it depends upon what you like to do. It is nice that obtaining skulls overlaps pretty much what I do anyway so it doesn't really take time away from my daily activities. Besides motifs I've gotten a number of furnishing, recipes and other stuff that makes it worthwhile IMO.

    In previous years I believe skills were limited to bosses in delves, dolmens, and anchors. Maybe trials and dungeons as well. But now they've expanded it to include quest bosses, arena bosses, and pretty much any boss level npc you fight in any quest or overland area. Which is nice as you can just go about questing and getting double xp with the buff and get skulls from bosses you fight along the way. I dont feel theres as much need to farm as there was in previous years. I like the changes they've made, as well as the addition of dremora skulls. Wonder what they'll add next year, as they typically add a few new collectibles and elements to each event.

    Probably not, but... if you have a character you need skyshards/delve completes/world boss kills on, probably not a bad way of doing it.

    I likely wouldn't bother doing them unless I needed skill points bad, but the added rewards of extra xp (no value to me really), plunder skulls and groups killing world bosses (I hate black marks on the map, white much better) makes it a little less annoying.

    Like others have mentioned, their value is based on your interests, really.

    I like farming them for furnishings and furnishing plans, because I can mindlessly run dolmens for like an hour, then go sell and decon all my crap, and take a break to play minecraft or whatever.

    The gold value of items is questionable, there are certainly much better ways to get gold. But if you like picking up random creepy stuff, why not?

    Plunder skulls are trash. Put something in it that's useful. This is the 2ND or 3rd yr they've done the witches festival and they basically have the same trash they did for yrs now.

    Also, it's rather boring and where is a witch polymorph? It's the freaking witches festival and we have the same old polymorphs.

    the hollow-jack motifs are 600-1200 gold each on my guild store and sell in hours + gold complete motif book for 12k-15k. Plus the free mats are good, nightshade and bait also sell well on my guild store.
