Crafting Surveys need an update - COLD HARBOUR, WROTHGAR & CRAGLORN

Tzirzhalir · August 22

Cold Harbour, Wrothgar and Craglorn surveys really need to be updated to one survey per material per zone in Cold Harbour, Wrothgar and Craglorn. It is time consuming and can be annoying especially in Craglorn where the areas are mountainous and enemies are around each corner as well as the Craglorn entering and leaving group areas where audio keeps repeating itself. I am certain that most crafters would appreciate one survey per material in these specific zones. For alot of crafters they do several surveys a day from doing daily writs on several characters to maintain materials used each day by those several characters. So, ZOS could you take some time to update these areas if possible, it would be reallly great. Thank you!

Make surveys twice as rare but double the yield please. Heck, 4X rare but 4x yield. That or make it intelligent where if you have four of the same survey in your inventory, you get the entire yield with one harvest.

Thank you

I'm going to disagree (just a bit), but I generally agree that having multiple survey locations for the same material is annoying. Craglorn and Wrothgar don't bother me all that much, although there are one or two survey locations in Craglorn that are a pain to get to.

Coldharbour, though, needs a good look at when those surveys (and Treasure Maps) start dropping. Because the zone is semi-locked behind Main Quest progression and some of those locations are locked behind zone story progression, toons who are taking their time just end up accumulating stuff until those areas unlock and surveys equal storage slots (potentially as many as 20). The surveys cannot be traded because they are account-bound rewards and they can't be sold to NPCs, so it's either destroy them or let them chew up a few inventory slots until the location becomes accessible.

I have toons on an alt account who haven't progressed the Main Quest that far and I'm not exceptionally fond of the idea of getting into Coldharbour via round about means, so a small chunk of my Bank space is being eaten up by surveys and treasure maps that the characters can't do without resorting to those round about means. I'd suggest that a more useful approach here would be to hold off on giving characters Coldharbour maps and reports until they have unlocked the areas where those things are.
