new meta achievement inheritor of scholarium. question

Aleris · May 29

Hello. How long does it take to complete all the scribing questlines to get this achievement, like how many hours of questing?? Since we only have one 1 month to collect this reward...

It's a time gated achievement?

ESO_player123 · May 29

Could you please show the source for your statement that we have only 1 month to do it.

Maitsukas · May 29

You need to complete the Scribing questline (think it was 6 quests) to get the achievement. Be prepared to travel across Tamriel, as if it was the Psijic questline.

If you tend to rush through quests, then it should only take several hours. But if you are someone who wants to take their time, then maybe a few days.

Just like with the Thieves Guild and Housing Spotlights we had during the last two months, having unlocked the necessary achievements are enough to claim the free rewards in the Crown Store.

"To celebrate this incredible new feature and Chapter launch, we’re happy to announce the Anniversary Spotlight—Gold Road. Running from June 3 until July 1 for PC/Mac and June 18 until July 16 for console players, this new Anniversary Spotlight grants everyone who delves deep into the system a special reward."

the reward is time gated, imho it's a bit too much.. i just wanna know if i will possibly complete it in time or if i will miss this , since 30 days is not so much

My spouse tried to test this on PTS but was unable to finish the questline due to a bug, which I hope they've fixed. If someone who was able to complete the questline on PTS could let us know, that would be great.

I'm also wondering about the special Seals of Endeavor related to using the new scribed skills. They say that they become available starting June 18, when it's live on consoles, but I hope they don't start them on that exact date, as we'll still be trying to download the update and get our bearings that day. At least give us a couple of days to get our bearings and get whatever skills will be required for these special endeavors.

Here's the article for reference.

if its only completing 6 quests, then i dont think it should take that long, the entire psijic questline can be done in a day and its just a lot of running around ,which it sounds like would be similar to this new one (ive not been on PTS so dont know what all the quests entail, but ive rarely encountered a quest that takes longer than 10 min unless it has a lot of dialog, or your lacking wayshrines for travel)

So, it's not the title that is time gated. It's the crown store reward - a multi rider mount. The phrasing in the OP mentioned only the title/achievement.

You can still get the achievement any time. The mount is a special promotion to encourage people to do the scribing questline within the first month. I think Skinny Cheeks said it would be about 8 hours if you read dialogue?

yes as i further clarified it's the reward that is time gated

I did the entire quest line in four hours in the test server. Read the dialogue but did not wait for characters to actually stop speaking.

most quests usually dont take too long if you reduce travel time, and go straight to the objectives

Hapexamendios · May 30

Scribing is probably going to be one of the first things I delve into once the chapter drops. 6 quests doesn't seem to be a large commitment to me, but I know some people who like to take things a lot slower so it probably doesn't suite every play style. The time limit isn't really a good thing.

Doesn't matter to me; I'm not very interested in scribing (just like I wasn't ever very interested in spell crafting). And I'm DEFINITELY not interested in a mount of that type....

katanagirl1 · May 30

That’s bad news. I wait to do quests because I don’t like seeing 50 other players crowding the npc you have to talk to in order to turn in the quest.

I just did the prologue quest last week for that very reason.

Plus the quests are always bugged on launch.

Argh with the fomo stuff again!

Whoever said it’s the Summerset scrying achievement… it’s not. It is the new scribing achievement from Golden Road! How long does it take? Dunno, I just got the update 1 minute ago

tsaescishoeshiner · June 18

It's shorter than the Main Quest of most Chapters, but that's the closest comparison I can think of. You have one brief quest, and then 5 Wing quests to do, each with a few steps.

The story is pretty enjoyable, and if someone was rushing through it, you could easily do 1 Wing a day if you only have a bit of time in the evenings.

flizomica · June 18

That achievement only takes about 3-5 hours of playtime, depending on how quickly you go through dialogue.
