Harrowstorms

So I have currently been doing harrowstorms in The Reach and Western Skyrim, I'm now down to the last two. I was attempting to do one a few minutes ago and being fairly fresh after my afternoon pah pa nap, also being alone soloing and dying quiet alot, I noticed I wasn't getting any xp for any of the mobs I was destroying. Maybe I'm making a mole hill out of a mountain but this may be the camel that broke the straws back. Just feels like the end of the line.

    The mobs are part of the mechanics of the Boss. So they wont give Exp.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    I think the World Bosses in Hews Bane and Gold Coast are the same way.

    I haven't noticed, personally for me, with AWA and all, I won't be doing another harrowstorm, dragon or wb again. Unless obviously I'm helping a friend with a daily.

    Why in the world would you solo a single harrowstorm for an hour and a half? Did you only down it once? It seems that way from your rewards.

    I’m… I’m so confused. And concerned.

    I would join harrowstorms if there was a match maker for it. I just never know when they are going on or I am in wrong area/zone

    Active ones are always marked on the map with flashing swords behind the icon.

    Only if you have actually "discovered" the harrowstorm in question with the specific character that you're on - whether or not you've completed it (on any character in the account, since completion is now account-wide, leading to the weird case where you're considered to have "completed" it without having "discovered" it.)

    If you haven't "discovered" it, it doesn't appear on the map. (Or if you use the map destinations addon, it appears, but grayed out, and you don't get the crossed-swords icon even if that harrowstorm / dolmen / geyser is the active one.)

    Oh thank you too, I understand what's going on now

    Only if you're in the zone do you see that, unfortunately if one is active in another zone you won't know.

    Thanks for all the replies, I finished the last one the other night. I don't or rarely do dailies so they're a thing of the past for me. World bosses, thanks to account wide achievements are another thing I don't need to do. I just run through them to turn them white for map completion.

    It’s like most of these “dolmen” events - they’re tough if not impossible to solo for most people, and unless there’s an event running you’re likely to be on your own.

    ZoS really should take time out from producing the next derivative dungeon DLC and focus on addressing issues that are built into the current game.

    I’m sure part of the problem is loot, or the lack of it.

    Is only 1 active at a time from all the zones?

    There's only one active per area: Western Skyrim, Blackreach (which is in Western Skyrim), and The Reach.

    It’s also been suggested that they scale the storms to the number of participants.

    DPS should not engage the mobs and big mobs when you have decent tank.
    It's a meaningless combat. Just stop it immediately. DPS must attack the empty
    pike which is not surrounded by mobs, and must attack ghost(health potion of the pike) also.

    If CP300-DPS do proper job with decent tank, only two member finish them off within 10min.
    Seriously try it. I actually did it twice with only two member.

    I have [1Tough tank] [1StamSorc-DD] [1Necro-DD] [1Real Healer]
    with [1Stam Blade].
    But, I'm Tank main player. Recently I'm doing Healer.
