IA Wish List

DarthCuddlefluff · August 4

Here's just a small wishlist I have for IA.

Firstly, since tanks use it too, and so do a lot of solo builds and others that are not PvP, IA NEEDS to sell Hakeijo for the same 5k. Full stop. No notes. It just does.

Secondly, as someone who messes with their outfit a lot I don't see any reason why not to add an outfit station to IA.

Thirdly, I think it would be really neat to have curated arena set boxes. Not huge on the list, but just an idea I had.

Fourth, I think it would be really cool for those who don't farm constantly but are down to do content to sell Attunable crafting stations at a reasonable price in fortunes. Say 20k a pop.

Fifth, I really like the idea of selling high end crafting mats, ESPECIALLY PERFECT ROE.

OH and please, oh please, remove full coffers, and lessons learned. They are useless.

Sixth, make it so you can use the class gear motifs on any class

I wish the price of the Archival Alchemical Satchet (and the other material bundles, too) was dropped from 3000 Archival Fortunes down to 500 Archival Fortunes, to match the price of the Waxed Apothecary's Satchel/Parcel at 500 Tel Var.

It would be nice to remove the useless visions and/or have an upgrade that allowed a reroll per arc or something.

It would be nice if, after collecting all the class sets, I got extra archival fortunes (or a furnishing plan) instead of a random duplicate, which isn’t even worth 100g to sell or much in materials to decon.

Increase Filer Ool’s selection of antiquity leads, maybe combine fragments, whether from IA or public dungeons into a single pool.

More books would really make me happy! I love those that were added with IA, the variety of covers, especially unique ones like the Materials for Novice Necromancers! More books, especially lore books like those introduced in the Good Road prologue, but everything is welcome! 🤗

1. I don't PvP outside of monthly T1s or events but I have to say hard pass on this one. PvPers need their exclusive goods to sustain their playstyle if they don't want to have to farm their own mats, taking this away from them is an unnecessary change.

2. No comment, but I don't see the need.

3. Maybe for Arena Armour sets, not the final arena weapons. Given the easy nature of grinding out fortunes, adding this would trivialize other arenas if you allowed their desired drops to come from here.

4. Similar to number 1, except I do engage with the writ system, this is one of the premier items from Rollis and his assistant, they should be amongst the exclusive goods for these people to sell.

5. I wouldn't be against adding them into the various satchels at a low to very low chance.

Nah dude. PvPers get plenty of exclusive rewards. Way too many imo. Hakeijo doesn't need to be one of them.Almost everyone needs it at some point. Let there be other ways to grind for it. And as for writs, well, there are plenty of people who just really do not want to engage with that system who also want personal attunables. It's unfair to them. I am not saying that everything from writ vouchers should be attainable via fortunes. Just the attunables. The writ people will still have plenty and it doesn't take away the attunables from them either.

Pevey · August 4

I really like the approach they took with the scribing altar furniture that will be available next patch, with having it purchasable via AP, writ vouchers, or archival fortunes. Scribing is not something needed exclusively by one type of player, so this makes a lot of sense.

I agree with the general idea of the OP, that it would be nice to do a pass making other things that are pretty universally desired (like hakeijo and attunables) available via other currencies. It would still be a n investment of time to obtain them, but it allows ppl to focus their time on things that are most fun for them.

PS: Perfect roe is already purchasable from the vendor via the provisioning sacks for 2k fortunes. I do wish they were directly purchasable, but we know how zos likes RNG loot box design.

I agree but that's not really a change to IA itself.

Have nothing against your other ideas, but the lessons learned is one vision I use quite a bit actually. For leveling new characters, companions, and skilllines on new builds. But I agree the full coffers is useless.

Another thing I do want ZOS to change, is to add the gear coffer back to the base daily IA quest reward again.

Aramril in the unknown bonus portal also needs to be toned down a lot. This fight takes WAY too long! Remove one of the crystals and remove the adds, that should be fine.

They can't do that.

Because it's already there, just finish your archival riddles/enigmas and it'll drop instead of them.

katanagirl1 · August 5

Just put the antiquity leads in all chests, that is all I ask. I still have some Apocrypha leads at 0 now.

I know, but starting fresh on NA PC made me realize the gear we should receive is extremely valuable when I am leveling in the IA. Every new piece of gear helps massively. It does not even have to be the class sets at first, the weekly sets that drop in the chests would be fine to. Then maybe switch it to the class sets after we have all the fragment pieces.

Orbital78 · August 8

I'd like to see mini events like the weekend BG ones where archival fortunes have increased drops, and perhaps even xp.

I'd also like more selection at the vendors. Legendary companion gear boxes?

PvP bonus portal that pits you against challengers. If you stalemate or win the 120 s fight you get the bonus. Challengers queue up outside of the IA in a normal PvP finder menu and can win small amount of archive currency, with a bigger reward up to once per day.
Queue pops once a player gets the bonus stage and interacts with the "accept challenger" item. Load screen tolerance has to be figured out or be a custom setting or so. If either opponent quits or disconnects the stage is skipped without bonus or reward.

alternative: challenger may continue the run at the same stage if successfull, with the same buffs as the original player (the original player is not booted). No retrospective achievement unlocks.

Considering the fact that the bonus portals are random I would hate to see this. Maybe if there was a red EXTRA bonus portal that appeared to the left or something, but I do NOT want to be surprised by PvP in the middle of the activity I do to avoid PvP.

alpha_synuclein · August 8

+ 1 for the archive themed event!

But what I would like to see the most is some sort of mechanic that allows you to activate multiple add waves simultaneously. At least at earlier stages.

For duos the interesting stuff starts at stage 4. But it takes an hour to get there. Please allow us to expedite a bit

The idea is that you can skip this like all bonus portals by just going back into the portal.

As it stands I end up skipping most bonus portals because they are just slowing me down without being very interesting. A random challenger could at least be fun. Of course visually highlighting the PvP nature of the portal would be completely fine. Even offering them side by side would be good.

A nice quirk could be that all verses and visions are obviously disabled for the duration of the bonus, but you could use the consumable bonus just to really massacre that opponent if you'd like.

I see a reason not to. The IA isn't a town and shouldn't have all the town amenities. No one needs to change their outfit in the middle of an IA run so there is no reason for this.

for your 5th point, that is already a thing, though its not a direct buy

the provisioning satchels can drop cyrodiil citrus, rubyblossom extract, mourning dew, perfect roe, and i think even aetherial dust

i havent bothered getting the enchanting satchels, but based on the provisioning satchels i think they could possibly drop there

i do think the material satchels should be lowered in price, considering the returns are not quite as good as some other sources

AzuraFan · August 8

The main thing that would improve the IA for me is the ability to save where I leave, and pick up at that point next time I enter the IA. Without that, they can make all the changes they want and I still won't go in very often.

I agree 100%.

We still only have a certain amount of threads and the run ends when we run out. Saving and coming back later won't change that, and having breaks to get up and move around is much healthier for the player.

ESO_player123 · August 8

My wish is really, really small. More like a hope at this point really. So, that they finally will fix the Goat side portal so it does not make me loose Steed Mundus stone.

Dragonredux · August 9

Can we also nerf Gothmau? He is still the most overtuned marauder and still the hardest one even with the two newer ones.

Otherwise like the list give some more longevity to this content.

This is ABSOLUTELY NEEDED. Breaks are essential, it's not healthy to be playing for as long as deep runs can take in one sitting (If you wanna play that much, the more power for you. But the current system forces you to either do that or lose all your progress lol). Even if it means getting that run out of the leaderboard system, it's not the no. 1 concern of someone wanting to split a run across whatever time it takes for them.
