Worst ever grind over the years?

A_Silverius · April 2020

Any kind of grind that requires a tp because that risks infinite/long loading screens.

MJallday · April 2020

in this order

1) learning vMA for the first time on a stam char with 0 shields (silly boy - can do it in about 40 mins now)
2) master angler (109 hours)
3) mages guild skill line (about 3 days)
4) psijic skill line (about 2 days)
5) farming BSW inferno - 4 years and counting still....

You can buy and sell leads so I doubt it will be that bad.

Leveling the antiquity skill lines will take at least a week, you also need around 30 free skill points..

vMA weapons before transmutation and after they increased the trait pool.

Biggest grind for me is emperor

Getting all furnishing plans in the game, especially the purple Ayleid Ones. You either farm RNG for ages or you 20+ million gold most likely to get those 3.

Grand Overlord is also a grind, but at last it's not really rng in it. And it's a lot more fun for me compared to a lot of other farms.

Master Angler, mostly because of the rng.

I finally got my sharpened Moondancer swords about two weeks before they became useless with Morrowind. That was pretty bad. I still keep them for nostalgia though.

Many of us have played other mmos in our past, so farming/grinding is nothing new(mainly EQ for me over a decade.) In your years of playing ESO what's been your worst grind/ farm? Doesn't have to be GRUELING like when vma first came out, can be mind numbingly horrible like my 123 times in VOM for ONE lightning staff that's a NAMED DROP off Grothdar. When was is RNG just owned you like you insulted its mother?

Fishing.

Any game that puts fishing achievements into the main game has created the worst grind in a game.

Nothing here compares to the grinding I've done in MMOs over the years. In Rappelz, it took a year to go from 80 to 100, playing every day for a couple of hours a day. The grind for the then level cap of 170 was a multi year project, even from 120.

I was going to say the worst grind I've done was Wintersaber rep in vanilla WoW.

But yeah, just leveling in those 'classic' eastern MMOs - wheeeeeee. (but they'd sell you xp boosters!

)

Locnaar · April 2020

After 6 years of playing: got emperess; got master angler- got my BSW inferno staff- but I haven't even gotten close to 5-star overlord (PVP). I am not sure if that's laziness on my part or something else altogether, but I know what must be done ……
GRIND.

Freakin_Hytte · April 2020

Veteran ranks, that system was horrible 😣 it was just so tedious. Psijic, mages guild ain't so much better e8ther. Thank god we can buy them now at least.

Starlock · April 2020

I don't grind. And the only farming I do is actual farming/gardening that has significantly better payoff than anything in a video game can.

So I suppose... all of them? Because I don't do any of them? If I can't get something by playing the game like I would normally, I can't be bothered.
