Isobel favor inconsistent?

Roxxsmom · July 2022

I know there are some threads about the Isobel favor achievement being bugged and the dueling favor not working, but I'm finding that a couple of other favor activities aren't working for her either, and I hadn't found a post about it.

For instance, I did not get 25 favor with her the first time we visited an undaunted enclave together, and I haven't gotten 5 for subsequent visits. Running the daily undaunted delve quest does work, however. I didn't get the blacksmith crafting rep boost with her the first time I crafted an item with her out today, though it seemed to work fine yesterday. Not sure what the cooldown is for the blacksmithing favor bump, though I assume it would be similar to the sweet food crafting boost.

Is this a glitch, or are the companion guides (ESO Hub etc) wrong about some of the things that produce her favor?

Our testing on PTS ran into some of those same inconsistencies, particularly with the Undaunted Enclave visits. I feel like it works better to not be on mounts when you approach the enclave, but that can take some jockeying back and forth or just coming back to try again later. I'm not sure what the cooldown is on blacksmithing, but it's considerably longer than the one hour for crafting sweets.

I got rapport increase at the Undaunted Enclave the first time but never any other time.

She has full rapport now.

I remember getting the +25 for my first visit with her to the Undaunted Enclave, and I do get the +5 on return visits every day.
(I go to the Enclave in Wayrest, so we can pop-in and visit with Emeric for the +10.)

I wasn't aware of the dueling one, so I haven't tested that one yet.

Is 'Isobel's Favor' the extra satchels I've noticed in my inventory? Like Mirri's 'Hidden Treasure' bags?
If so, I haven't been able to pick-up on the pattern for those yet. Possibly because they don't seem to be consistent with anything I am doing?

I think they only drop from bosses. Fallen Knight's Pack, I think they're called.

Yeah, that's it. Thanks.

So I’ve been watching Isobel rapport very closely since this thread started. Today I did not get the 125 for High Isle world boss daily. That’s a lot of points to miss out on and, of course, can’t do another daily. Starting to get very disillusioned with the quality of the game.

Also when you turn in high isle WB quest with Isobel , it doesnt count towards the complete 30 WB dailies achievement. So make sure to remove Isobel when turning in and you still need to get the 30.

There's one High Isle WB quest that consistently isn't granting Isobel rapport (the Hadolid Matron at Mornard Falls). All of the others should work for rapport, so if you can get another quest shared you can still get rapport in for the day.

I haven't been paying attention to the 30 WB quests achievement, but I'd be interested to know if the same issue with that particular quest applies there too.

Yes, the Hadolid quest was the one I had completed.

Just as a side comment, gaining favor with Isobel is quite easy, as there are many simple ways to do it. I did the Undaunted daily every day, and visited certain places/NPCs. It took me far more to gain rep with other followers. Isobel is still level 11 for me and I can already place her in my homes as a guest.

Isobel is very bugged, I tried accepting like 50 duels, with her summoned, without her summoned, in city area, outside of city area and nothing works. Also Undaunted enclave rapport triggers on random, sometimes it does give rapport sometimes dont, I found out that most effective is to log out with Isobel present inside the Undaunted enclave and then log back in, works almost every time.

Did this achievement get fixed in the patch? I did not see anything in the notes.

Accepting a duel worked for me today after the patch. Finally got that one done

I got no approval from her on our first visit to the undaunted camp in Grahtwood, so I took her to the Mournhold one and it worked, but I haven't had any approval from visiting since. Sometimes she gets approval when I hand in Bogrul's quest and sometimes not. I much prefer Ember, because I can just sit around playing cards all day and she loves me
