Cyrodil Quest Zone Area Questions

FlopsyPrince · August 2020

1) I have noticed lately that some of the times one side (usually AD in my case) will control and area, but someone else will be active patrolling outside the flags.

What makes that happen? Can it be cleared out by player action? Killing them just gets them to respawn later in many cases.

2) I have an XP boost on, but sometimes I get more AP when turning in questing dailies and sometimes I do not. What controls this?

3) How do you destroy a bridge? I have seen 1 destroyed a couple of times now.

1. I believe the NPC guards casually patrolling after a town is taken is a residual of the switch. It may also just be because that base is located in a zone predominately controlled by a particular faction. I can’t be sure but it’s probably a combination of that.

2. Depending on the size of your faction’s population versus the other factions’ populations you may get a Low Population AP Boost. You can tell if this is the case by examining the campaign’s scoring screen and noting if there are three vertical bars next to a faction’s name.

3. Use the same siege gear you would on a keep (such as a catapult, trebuchet, etc) to damage both bridges and gates. It takes a significant amount of damage to take these down. I also believe that using Volendrung can accomplish the same effect by focusing on the bridge towers.

Thanks!

I will look for the low pop bonus then.

Do XP scrolls have any impact?

I only want AP for the motifs. I dislike PvP in most cases, especially because I am usually the gankee and that gets old fast.

XP scrolls have NO impact on AP gain. The only AP boost modifiers are Low Population Faction Bonuses and The Scroll of Pelenial’s Ferocity. The latter is an item which only works during MidYear Mayhem and grants 2xAP for all PVP activities.

There is an upcoming live test on PC which will have a 2xAP boost for Cyrodiil but that is a one off occurrence as new ability mechanics are being tested.
