Delve, Dolmen, worldboss, dungeon, trial, arena and something else

kylewwefan · October 2019

I’m super scatterbrained when it comes to putting these things together to maximize the plunder/Dremora skulls.

In my efforts, I could not seem to effectively find a delve on my own. So the guy by the undaunted area sends me on a quest. Bolgrul is the man for Daggerfall anyways. Not sure if it’s same dude on other factions. He sends you to a delve.

The scatterbrain really starts kicking in as I walk to it and pass close by a dolmen on the way. Have to get that too. Then one of these mini event type thing happens. The sky opens up and some Dremora fall out. Kill them and another bossier type comes out. This thing gave me a Dremora skull too.

Back to the delve. Get that done. Then I think, hey I could go solo banished cells real fast. Got my dungeon and killed a ton of skeletons. That’s another achievement.

I got into a trial. Knocked that out relatively quick.

Then it got kind of late and I never got around to doing an arena.

Does anyone have a perfectly roadmapped plan to hit all these things so I could possibly maybe do them on more than one character?

Feel like I get overwhelmed by trying to get all these things almost on the verge of shutdown and just pick flowers.

This is what I’ve got
Delve
World Boss
Dolmen
Group Dungeon
Arena
Public Dungeon
Trial

I haven’t hit them all yet as the day is still young but will test them all out eventually

Thanks. Diddnt realize public dungeon was also on the list. Does every boss give the gold skull or only the group event one?

Really I’m looking for “hold your hand” step by step instruction. Like go to this wayshrine, hit this delve, come out, hit this dolmen, then to this worldboss, do this, do that.

Really, I’m that bad I need it.

Any boss, but they are grouped together with the mini dolmen and quest bosses (like the ashlander hunting quests in Morrowind), so you got that covered already in your example

I discovered last night, while doing the Dousing the Daedric Flame daily, that Daedric portal that spits out a few waves of trash Daedra followed by a boss in Darkpool Mine counts as a public dungeon/sweeper dremora skull boss.

Apparently you have to finish Maelstrom for the achievement. I went in to do one boss and only got a purple plunder skull and did not get the achievement after killing the first boss. Yuck.

Yep, its the final boss of the Arena. nMA is pretty easy, but its a time sink.

It's pretty efficient to hit the NW corner of Deshaan. There is a dolmen, delve, public dungeon, and world boss all near a wayshrine in that area.

That works great for a single character!

I tend to park a couple of alts in a delve, public dungeon, and near a dolmen+ WB, so I can just log in on one alt, kill the thing, and move on to the next. Which also helps with keeping the amount of pkunder skulls in one inventory manageable.

Elsweyr dailies will get you world boss, dragon, delve. Dragons may not be as fast as dolmens, but they're more fun.
Vvardenfell is still the place where I go to unload loot, so I can just as well hunt a beastie there.

On weekdays, and doing it across three accounts, I'm just running the Guild dailies (Cardea Gallus, Alvur Baren, and Bolgrul) plus grabbing whatever world boss I run across while doing that. Two birds with one stone and all that.

Leveling a character on one of the accounts as well with witch's whistle, 150% scroll, and ring of Mara. I'll throw in a group dungeon, arena, and possibly a trial on at least one of the accounts on the weekends.

Dragons drop Insurgent Plunder Skulls (the same type as Anchors & Geysers).

Here is my step by step hand holding instructions.

1. Do the new pellitine dailies on your main achievement toon first (gives you WB skull and delve skull plus progress towards pellitine daily achievements).
2. Next port to the wayshrine beside forgotten crypts and grab the public dungeon skull as well hitting up the dolmen right next to it for dolmen skull. (Deshaan gives you a chance for mother’s sorrow staff as Well as being very efficient)
3. Port to craglorn and try to get into a quick normal trial (helra and cloud rest are probably the quickest). While looking for said trial group you can also start finding a group (through guild or zone chat) to do a quick fungal grotto 1 for group dungeon skull. Alternatively you can swap to a lowbie toon you need to level and do random normal to get experience instead. This process is probably quickest if you can swap to a tank or healer toon.
4. Once you have gotten your trial and group dungeon skulls, port directly into maelstrom for a quick normal run. Or do vet if there are still weapons you need from there.

That is my strategy for this event, combo of efficiently getting skulls while making progress on other fronts as well.

Looks like NW Deshan is gonna be the place to go! Idk what a pellitine daily is? Is that southern Elsweyr?

Yes pellitine = southern elswyr

As hard as it may sound: Have you tried not opening the dremora skulls until you have all seven?
That way you can always track the ones you're missing

kylewwefan · October 2019

I did learn something interesting.

You only get one of the gold skulls per day. So I’m trying to get the achievements on my main.

But I was doing all the things on my new favorite toon. So my main still needs a couple. You won’t be able to get all the achievements on every character. Heck, probably only a few if you’re real lucky anyhow.

I guess smart people already figured that out. But I’m a little slow to pick up on these things.

The North West Deshan tip is great. Delve, worldboss, public dungeon and dolmen all right there.

The mini rifts that spawn from the sky also count for the public dungeon skull, and are way faster to clear if you remember where they are. There are two really close to the Stormhold wayshrine, on the way to that public dungeon. I do that, because just in case they’ve already been cleared before I get there, the first boss is really close to the entrance in Sanguine’s Demesne.

I didn't know this, no wonder those motifs are so hard to get. Who has the time?
