• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 6

How hard is the antiquity house to get?

    Like previous events of this type, the progress toward unlocking the rewards is a community aggregate: my progress helps you and every other Greymoor owner, likewise, your progress helps me and other players.

    And, like previous events of this type, I'm pretty sure that the marketing department has already figured out what %'s to advance the meter to on which days, in order to drum up the most enthusiasm for the event. And that the final result is a forgone conclusion.

    But maybe I'm just cynical. :D

    I wouldn't wonder, if there aren't any counters involved at all.
    Am I even more cynical?

    Hmmmm the meter doesn't seem to have moved at all this morning - still at 0% as far as I can tell.

    And I dug up soooo much yesterday. :#

    If I remember correctly (and it's possible that I don't), they updated the trackers for the Summerfall and Dragonrise events at
    10am US Eastern Time.

      How do you get motifs from digging?

      You get the lead from treasure maps in the Alliance areas including the starter areas. All areas will yield two leads with the exception of Khenarthi's Roost which yields 4 leads.

      Dominion - Ancient Elf motifs
      Pact - Ancient Nord motifs
      Covenant - Ancient Orc motifs

      You will not get these leads in Coldharbor, Cyrodiil or the DLC areas.
      This is incorrect. As of u27, Ancestral Motif chapters drop one at a time from Treasure Map chests, rather than dropping in pairs (or quads for Khenarthi's). Apparently this was how it was supposed to work from the get-go.

      True, only one at a time will drop now, but the zones still have two motif leads each, except for Khenarti's Roost which has four. (This is because AD has one "starter" zone, whereas the DC and EP factions have two.)

      Everyone get digging, even greens and blues count. Do greens and blues at same time and always dig up blue first, it's quicker. Time spent trawling leads is time wasted, can find leads for furniture after event ends and you have the house. Just grind the greens and blues if you want to be sure unless it drives you insane. Then mix it up. My advice, take or ignore.

      “ After the community has unlocked all three rewards (or the time runs out), all Greymoor players can claim the unlocked items from the in-game Crown Store for free.”

      So you’re (communally) working to unlock the inevitable earlier.

      You're reading it wrong. It says the "unlocked items", so any item not unlocked by the end of the event when times run out will not be available for free in the crown store.We only get the house if the counter reaches 100% (which I'm sure it will) before the end.

      Thanks for mentioning this. I was not thinking that way, and I should have been. (I was trying to find leads.)
      Relying on leads for this event will only slow us down, when we have the freebie, repeatable greens and blues in every zone.

      Game on.

        It’s a good enough reason to find things I haven’t yet found and level another toon’s skill line. A free house is nothing to complain about :)

        And yet invariably you know there will be those who do!

        I am doing the map leads purchasable from vendors in the zones where I own houses. (I own a lot of houses.)

        Yes. They are 1000 g each and are available at normal (generic) vendors. Each zone has a unique one, and it produces a large desk sized map of the region.
        They are also “green” level so everyone can do it.

        Have we ever failed a community event? You will get the house if you have Greymoor.

        It says on another thread that any color lead counts so you can just do the green and blue zone ones.

        This is what I started doing when the event began (hunting for leads).
        And you can definitely excavate the leads you have, but you don't *need* to hunt for more.

        The "free" green and blue leads in each zone also count, and they are repeatable.
        (all antiquity qualities count the same amount toward progress.)
