Endeavours - These will be something you normally do in your week - really?

I do not grind 30 WBs in a week. I now have to stand next to a WB in The Reach (only place on PC EU that reliably has other players at the times I play to help take these tedious creatures down) & grind these out. It is marginally less exciting than standing on a water Hyacinth in Shadowfen.

    At that rate it will be like 300 world bosses to get a knight aspirant helmet. 🤣

    I did 10 WBs in 2 hours, some while doing dailies in Blackwood and a couple in Deshaan.

    If you think this is a bad grind I think you have been very lucky with RNG so far.

    Depends on who's there at the time. I got killed twice by the same player while talking to the quest giver inside the house.

    There are, you know, other alternatives.
    And, no, you don't need to do PvP at all, just kill with a siege the NPC that are inside the safe area of yor alliance.

    Do the siege weapon endeavor. By the far the quickest and it's effortless. Just go to an enemy resource flag in cyrodiil (preferably a low populated campaign) and fire a siege weapon at the flag (while staying as far as possible so the npc enemies don't come after you). No PvP or even PvE for that matter.

    I used a cold fire trebuchet and it only took 5 shots. So less than a minute for the weekly.

    I spend a total of 10 minutes to get the weekly, just fire a trebuchet on some guards around the flags of enemy resources in Cyrodiil. Trebuchet has a longe range so even after attacking them they don't move. I got the 400k damage after firing 4 times I think

    Well you have 3 options for the weekly endeavor, 1 that is grindy and 2 that are not grindy. If you choose to do the grindy one instead of the alternatives, then you only have yourself to blame, not zos.
    And as others have pointed out, you can do the other 2 without PvPing.

    Sneak when you get close to town

    Option B

    Go to different campaign

    Option C

    Ask in zone chat for help. People tend to be willing to help quest givers especially in Low pop campaign

    Still a balance issue, if you compare them. It's mins vs hours

    As exclusively pve player you can easily do all of the weeklies anyway, none of them require to actually pvp but to visit a zone and respawn at nearest point if killed (or just visit not in prime time).

    30 wb a week isn't much if you do it for a week. If you decided to do it in one go it's your choice again.

    Took me about 70 mins to do the world boss one.

    Super easy to do as a weekly.

    I think you're a bit too generous here my man.. 30 world bosses in 70 min.? Means that as soon as you have a boss down, you have travelled to and killed the next one within 2.3 min :smile:

    have done 37 bosses on monday, and 15 yesterday, so 52 in 2 evenings beside other quests like fighters/mages guild (playing on 2 servers).

    I really like this endeavour, as it revives the old, "dead" zones. Many people around.
    Bosses burned down in 20 seconds.

    I could get the endeavours in cyro, even quicker, but actually ENJOY doing the bosses.
    Perfect opportunity to complete maps on toons that have not done them yet, without waiting forever on other players to show up.

    I hope zos will add more such quests reviving the old zones again.

    Yeh.

    I just did ones by wayshrines.

    Most bosses in old zones can be killed in about 40 seconds. Take a potion at start and it's dead or almost dead by the time cool down is off. 40-50 seconds each.

    Run to wayshrine, travel to next one. I have the new Xbox, so load times are nothing.

    So yeh.

    Maybe it was 73 mins lol. It was less than an hour and a quarter anyway.

    Not a lot of work for a weekly endeavour.

    The other ones are shorter, but I was doing world bosses anyway for drops so though I may as well kill two birds.

    It's a weekly. So you only have to kill 4 or 5 a day. That's not a grind unless you choose to make it one.

    I just added some of the world boss dailies to my routine is all. We've also had way different experiences because nearly every world boss I went too had people at them. Sometimes excessive amounts to the point I found it annoying. It's crazy how Blackwood has repopulated the zones on this game. Everywhere I go is crawling with players.

    Just put some oil on siegers in Cyrodiil, it's the easiest weekly if you don't want to run around in Cropsford. As I see it, the world boss weekly is for those who really really don't want to enter Cyrodiil at all cost and for those who do world bosses anyway. Remember you have one week to do them and we only have Wednesday...

    If you struggle to do a boss solo then go to the Wolf camp in Glenumbra and you will find there is mostly a crowd there as not only do you get the wolf camp boss but in spitting distance there is a dolmen and the group will ping pong from one to the other, so it's a good place if you're in a hurry to get the bosses done.

    I used a ballista on some goblins. Took quite a few shots but worked like a charm. Seems like anything works for the endeavor as long as you're in Cyro and doing some damage with a seige weapon. Easist one to do in the list by far but not everyone would know this. I certainly didn't until I read forum and saw someone mention what to do lol

    Find hammer spawn points behind gates and siege NPC's there if you don't like pvp. Takes 5 minutes to complete max.

    You have 1 week to do it xd, takes 2min to kill a basegame world boss if you are half decent at the game. If you are not just go do the cropsford quest, takes 20min most people there are friendly. Scared of getting killed? go with a nightblade and be invisible. Dont have NB? use invisibility potions. If none of these options help you or you refuse to use any of them then its a YOU problem and not anyone elses.

    I did my 30 in less than 3 hours, the werewolves in Glenumbra.
    Doing dolmen in between.
    If you use wayshrines or bosses located very close to each other like the 2 in Greenshade, you can halve this time, so 75 minutes is realistic.

    An hour out of the way instead of playing the game.

    These endeavors are working exactly as intended.

    ZoS will not change a thing.

    I'll continue to play the game as I always have and if I happen to complete an endeavour then great, if not oh well. I have limited play time and do things I enjoy rather than do mindless tasks to get some crown comestic items.
