And on a maintenance day as well.

That's what I've imagined them to be the second month of the "feature" live, meaning hamsters gonna hamster for the "free" stuff, but it surprisingly taking them years.

How is this brutal? Collect plants is very easy. They're all over the place in Cold harbor city. You don't even need combat. That's base game too.

Two visions only requires the first two cycles. It does not require being able to finish an arc. That's like the difficulty of a public dungeon or delve. It's also base game. The first couple of cycles are designed to be completed by everyone. If the boss you get is too hard just reset.

It just says complete a Black Sacrament. It's not asking for a perfect score. You could literally just pull the place if you wanted. I guess it's dlc but like come on.

You can't expect to get all the endeavors every time if you're excluding massive amounts of content.

All but the plant one are time consuming and at least for me nothing I actually do. I hate Black Sacraments and IA, don't PVP and don't do trials. I will one have one achivement today. It's a first for me.

Black Sacrament requires the DLC and being far enough through the Dark Brotherhood questline to unlock, the trial is time consuming, but the rest are kinda piece of cake.

5 water/alchemy is ~2 min tops, 2 first Archive bosses is maybe 5 min, and firing s few shots from a siege weapon at a bridge/milegate in some of the many empty Cyr campaigns if you want to avoid any actual combat (even with mobs) in Cyr/IC is... Also maybe 5 minutes.

Don't forget that the alchemy one includes water skins. It's also part of the weekly endeavour so if you go for that the daily one will get completed anyway.

That's the only one I'll do today, but that's fine, I don't expect to do 3 every day. I'll also do the weekly one, which I don't often bother with.

Bruh, a normal trial can take as little as 10 minutes if you do one of the quicker ones like nAA, nCR, or nAS. Normal trials are super easy too and you'll get a bunch of goodies from finishing the weekly quest for that trial. You get 5 transmutes, a curated non-perfected gear piece, and up to 3 Slaughterstones, which sell for around 1.8K gold each on PCEU. Not a bad haul for 10 minutes of gameplay if you ask me.

You can even further optimize your time by signing up for a normal trial and then looking for the alchemy ingredients while you wait for the group to fill up.

Honestly, though, what's this aversion to trials anyway? Normal ones are about as braindead as the random normal dungeons I know you do every day, except the gear in most trials is actually good.

Two cycles is not time consuming. Neither is Black Sacrament. Again, if you want to do the Sacrament perfect then maybe it will take some time. But if you want to just get it over with you can run through and barely take anytime at all. Depending on spawn time, Sacrament can be done faster than Kill Delve Boss in X Zone because the objective is always ready.

Plant collecting, IA and then a toss up between the PvP one and the Black Sacrament one for me. Will depend on what Cyrodill looks like when I go for my tickets. If it is busy popping down a siege weapon for a few minutes should sort out that one.

Thankfully I have two toons who can go do a Black Sacrament quests. Not sure I have unlocked the Dark Brotherhood on the rest of them. So, if the OP has not unlocked the Dark Brotherhood layout yet, I can appreciate that it may be a lot more time consuming for them to do that particular endeavour.

What's Black Sacrament? Is it from some dlc?

They surely are inconvenient for a day where the servers are going to be offline for an extended period of time and there is an event that grants tickets active.

Is almost like they are set so people definitely have to spend time in the game regardless of how inconvenient their maintenance may make it for players.

Isn't the "event that grants ticket" a PvP event?
Like...wouldn't you automatically do one endeavour while grabbing your tickets?

There's literally no "waste" of time here, 2 visions can be taken in 5 minutes if you're slow, plants are everywhere, the trial can be the longest thing here but we talk about 15 minutes tops.

Seriously if you open the vocabulary and look for endeavour you read "A conscientious or concerted effort toward an end; an earnest attempt."
You don't even wanna waste half an hour on it, then don't play I guess? O_o

There is when they have scheduled a long maintenance in what is going to effectively be the last day of the event for me (I'll be lucky if I can squeeze tickets tomorrow) and I am still 3M AR short of GO**

If they would have scheduled the maintenance on let's say Wednesday, which they do regularly for consoles and have done for PC when it suits them then whatever, alas I may need every minute of my available play time today, providing that they don't extend the maintenance in which case neither endeavours nor anything else will get done.

If I could play whenever then I'd see the merit of your argument alas that is not something I can do.

As it is, providing that they don't extend the maintenance, I may complete 2/3. I doubt I will have time to get out of Cyro to do any of the other 3. Maybe if they finish the maintenance early instead.

When I read the list of endeavors today, my first thought was that the ones who want rewards for doing emotes and using mementos are going to be upset that a Black Sacrament and a trial has come back around.

[edited to remove quote]

I'll do the plants but the others are not worth the time spent on them.

Thanks for suggestion about few shots from a siege weapon at a bridge/milegate in some of the many empty Cyrodiil campaigns! I need to try that! Or of course I could just run through a black sacrament without sneaking on one of my alts that has those unlocked, and I will still get the seals.

The Alchemy mat one again? That was just yesterday, and I took the opportunity to burn all my Alchemy surveys in prep for the Unknowns coming in. Yay, bank space!

Well, I did save the Bangkorai one since it's relatively easy to get to. So, that one is toast too.

I just tried attacking a milegate with a siege weapon, and the damage didn't count toward the Endeavor.
