Yes. I am done already. I help a friend because he wants the mount. Sadly, it looks like he won't be able to get it because he didn't buy the chapter. I haven't seen a soul reaper since last month. yeah . . .
You can complete the trial without the content pass or the soul reapers. Without the soul reapers, or any Solstice specific tasks, there are 21 objectives left.

You mentioned nothing about Solo being a requirement, only that they couldn't complete it because they didn't own the content pass. Even so, running solo.. that's a self imposed impediment. And anybody can do Alchemy/Enchanting master writs.
I knew you would answer with " that's a self imposed impediment." because that seems to be your answer to everything.
How does one complete a master write when they do not have the crafts mastered? If you are going to answer "buy one from a guild" don't bother replying as that is as much non-sense as 'if you won't group that's on you.'
My point stands. My friend has not mastered crafting and does not have gear for trials. He cannot get the mount he is working toward. I should point it out to him before he puts in too much effort. He is going to be upset that he was conned into an event challenge he cannot win. He will probably stop playing, again.
The GP lasts for 40+ days. If a player can't level up Alchemy and/or Enchanting (the two easiest crafting lines by far) within that time, then they're intentionally going out of their way to not do it. And no, purchasing a master writ from the traders is not nonsense. Players all across Tamriel do it every day in game. Heck, both skills can be leveled to 50 within a single gaming session without breaking a sweat. Not to mention that Alchemy should be max'd to 50 for every character regardless whether they plan to craft their own or not. Simply for the passives.
As for gear needed for Trials.. that's what Normal Difficulty Trials are for.. getting gear. Normal Trials can be completed with Crafted/Overland gear. It's done every day by many many new players.

I wanna make a real quick point. I'm not confident it'll be heard but I'm gonna give it to you anyway. I completed the golden pursuit within the first 2 hours of playing on Monday. I did not do master writs or trials. We led a guild group for only solstice event dailies. That's it. Going around the world getting the stuff, doing the camps, getting souls etc. We did a PD in Coldharbor for souls and deadra killing. We fought the WB on solstice that's not supposed to be there yet. That is the only non event thing we did. No log ins. No master writs. No trials, though I did one right after but already had the mount as dis most in my group. A group from a social guild, just by the by, not all dedicated raiders. Though some of us are. It's not hard to do. Group up with your friend and get after it.3 -

Your answer is, in my opinion, Narcissistic Non-Sense. You don't know my friend. Why are you victim-blaming on them? He plays the way he plays and I'll not shame him because he is not a speed-leveler like you describe. If you are just going to be mean saying if they don't play the way I do "they're intentionally going out of their way to not do it," put my account on ignore so you don't feel tempted to bully people you don't even know.

✭✭✭Wow. From the very beginning of Golden Pursuits, I’ve understood that there is a list of activities I get to choose from, and how far I’ll get in that GP is DIRECTLY related to how many of the activities on the list I choose to/want to/can do. Some activities have been more challenging to complete than others (and I like that!), but if the reward has been important enough to me, I figured out a way to do enough activities on the list to get what I want.
I don’t think anything is wrong with the fact that some of the items on the list take place on Solstice and can only be done by Season Pass holders, especially based on the theme of this particular GP. If I didn’t already have the season pass and the GP reward was important enough to me, I would find a way to buy it, or I would figure out a way to do enough of the other activities on the list to get the reward, even if they did not comfortably fit in my place style. I don’t think the rewards on the GP should simply be handed out to players because they smile in the direction of the list.3 -

Yes, I tell him repeatedly that working the crafting system is an important part of the game. He just likes to kill stuff and go through the stories and quests. Remember that maxing out provision crafting does not guarantee a master writ drop. He doesn't purchase from guilds because he doesn't understand how the system works. Even with provisions, one must have the recipe to complete the writ.
I think he will not group. He reported a couple bad experiences with groups in dungeons. He might want the mount bad enough to try it again. He does not have the DPS for it; he'll probably get kicked for it in a trial.0 -

But people *are* trying to help.
You don’t need endgame gear for a normal trial, especially if others are around. I know a guild that made a monthly fun run where they would make a brand new character fresh from the tutorial at level 3 to run a normal something. There is zero barrier to entry for a groupfinder normal (especially for people trying to farm the pursuit!).
Enchanting and Alchemy crafts can also be levelled 0-50 in less than an hour (Provisioning is even easier, but the recipes for writs are harder to come by). Again, there are guides for that.
“Do X siege camps” is impossible without the pass. “Do any trial” is totally possible even for a new player who wants to get a quick nAS+0 and pretend the other 11 people are NPCs, and it will take about 15 minutes.4 -

My point stands. My friend has not mastered crafting and does not have gear for trials. He cannot get the mount he is working toward. I should point it out to him before he puts in too much effort. He is going to be upset that he was conned into an event challenge he cannot win. He will probably stop playing, again.
I wanna make a real quick point. I'm not confident it'll be heard but I'm gonna give it to you anyway. I completed the golden pursuit within the first 2 hours of playing on Monday. I did not do master writs or trials. We led a guild group for only solstice event dailies. That's it. Going around the world getting the stuff, doing the camps, getting souls etc. We did a PD in Coldharbor for souls and deadra killing. We fought the WB on solstice that's not supposed to be there yet. That is the only non event thing we did. No log ins. No master writs. No trials, though I did one right after but already had the mount as dis most in my group. A group from a social guild, just by the by, not all dedicated raiders. Though some of us are. It's not hard to do. Group up with your friend and get after it.
You missed this part of the conversation perhaps: "Yes. I am done already. I help a friend because he wants the mount. Sadly, it looks like he won't be able to get it because he didn't buy the chapter. I haven't seen a soul reaper since last month. yeah . . ."
I got that part. You missed the part at the end where I said grab your friend and get after it. If you grind out the event dailies and a world boss You. Are. Done. Full stop. No need for a trial, writs or anything but as I said, as is typical with you in particular. You just want to complain and reject every offer of help. I just don't get it.
What is wrong with people? "You just want to complain and reject every offer of help." Really? You think you were helpful? Without the chapter purchase, as I stated, and without end game actions, as I stated, there are only 19 options, as I stated.
24 actually. But soul reapers may be bugged. So 21. I missed the no chapter part, so apologies on that, but you kinda have a history for people going out of their way to explain and offer help and you throw dirt at them. Sorry.4 -

You can complete the trial without the content pass or the soul reapers. Without the soul reapers, or any Solstice specific tasks, there are 21 objectives left.
A player cannot solo a trial and my friend cannot do Master Writs
5, 10 daily log in
100 each Coldharbor, beast daedra, human daedra
500 enemy
3 WB, 10 WB
5, 10, 15 Meridian lens
3, 10 dungeon boss
5, 10, 20 Stirk crafting jobs
5, 10, 20 Stirk supply jobs
What am I missing?
You mentioned nothing about Solo being a requirement, only that they couldn't complete it because they didn't own the content pass. Even so, running solo.. that's a self imposed impediment. And anybody can do Alchemy/Enchanting master writs.

The GP lasts for 40+ days. If a player can't level up Alchemy and/or Enchanting (the two easiest crafting lines by far) within that time, then they're intentionally going out of their way to not do it. And no, purchasing a master writ from the traders is not nonsense. Players all across Tamriel do it every day in game. Heck, both skills can be leveled to 50 within a single gaming session without breaking a sweat. Not to mention that Alchemy should be max'd to 50 for every character regardless whether they plan to craft their own or not. Simply for the passives.
As for gear needed for Trials.. that's what Normal Difficulty Trials are for.. getting gear. Normal Trials can be completed with Crafted/Overland gear. It's done every day by many many new players.
Your answer is, in my opinion, Narcissistic Non-Sense. You don't know my friend. Why are you victim-blaming on them? He plays the way he plays and I'll not shame him because he is not a speed-leveler like you describe. If you are just going to be mean saying if they don't play the way I do "they're intentionally going out of their way to not do it," put my account on ignore so you don't feel tempted to bully people you don't even know.
I don't expect anybody to play my way. I've said nothing mean. And I'm certainly not victim blaming anyone (especially as there's no victim here). I've simply offered up solutions, which you've just batted away seemingly because you aren't seeking anwers.
If you wish to disregard what I have to say. That's fine. Just continue playing as you do.

✭✭✭✭I had no problem doing the soul reapers.
One has to do the prologue quest for Solstice (available to all players, without the content pass) for them to appear.
They were bugged at one time, but they have absolutely been appearing since the event started.
Chasing them down isn't the most enjoyable thing, but it's also far from impossible. Suggest using an addon that shows their locations, like map pins, to make the process a little easier. Port around to ones that are located near wayshrines and check whether they're up.
[It would be helpful if zos would respond to questions about whether the soul reapers are currently bugged, as they have been at times and many are currently under the impression that they are not spawning. @ZOS_Kevin ]
Ultimately though, one has to decide whether the required activities are worth it. I wanted the mount, so I put in the effort to do them. If one simply refuses to engage with numerous aspects of the game, they are not going to be able to get everything the game has to offer. That's not an unusual concept in many games, particularly mmo's with a wide variety of activities.
Of course one can complain and maybe zos will take the feedback for next time and do a pursuit where you just have to stand in vivec city dancing in a pumpkin costume and you get all the rewards (that is my favored activity in-game these days, so I wouldn't mind that pursuit), but this current pursuit's already up and won't be changed and players aren't being mean by pointing out ways that it can be completed by anyone if they want to complete it.Edited by valenwood_vegan on October 15, 2025 7:46PM2 -

From the very beginning of Golden Pursuits, I’ve understood that there is a list of activities I get to choose from, and how far I’ll get in that GP is DIRECTLY related to how many of the activities on the list I choose to/want to/can do. Some activities have been more challenging to complete than others (and I like that!), but if the reward has been important enough to me, I figured out a way to do enough activities on the list to get what I want.
I don’t think anything is wrong with the fact that some of the items on the list take place on Solstice and can only be done by Season Pass holders, especially based on the theme of this particular GP. If I didn’t already have the season pass and the GP reward was important enough to me, I would find a way to buy it, or I would figure out a way to do enough of the other activities on the list to get the reward, even if they did not comfortably fit in my place style. I don’t think the rewards on the GP should simply be handed out to players because they smile in the direction of the list.
Wow, another post that just blames the friend for not playing like them.
I am done with this. I am done helping Solstice owners with win their wall war. I get nothing from it anyway.
I’ve never said once in the 10+ years I’ve played this game that anyone should play my way. I said if I want to achieve a goal in a game, I do whatever needs to be done to achieve that goal even if it’s outside my normal play style if that goal is important enough to me. That’s all I said. Your friend doesn’t have to do anything he doesn’t want to do, but that might mean he doesn’t get the rewards he wants.1 -

I didn't see any yesterday (or in many weeks before that), but today I have also managed to collect a few indeed.1 -
shadoza✭✭✭✭The respawn rate is too low in the overland.
Also, one should not have to kill 40+ targets to get 8 items.

✭✭I think he will not group. He reported a couple bad experiences with groups in dungeons. He might want the mount bad enough to try it again. He does not have the DPS for it; he'll probably get kicked for it in a trial.
If your friend is willing to give trials a shot (and I agree that he'd be fine joining a normal PUG in group finder, especially with people wanting runs that would be happy to carry the group), he'd get even more value from those runs by waiting until Witches Fest to get the bonus event boxes. The Dremora motif pages from trials are the hardest to come by since fewer people run trials, so it'd be worth going during the event to pick those up.Ilsabet Menard - DC Breton Nightblade archer - Savior of Pretty Much Everything, Grand Overlord & Empress Nubcakes

I'll let him know about the Dremora motifs. He might take a chance for something like that. He doesn't craft, but if he likes the look of it, it might be an incentive to craft more. There is also a chance he might just say, "Can't your Shadoza make this?"0 -

I don't like doing group content at all, so joining a group that just wanted to get the Dremora motif drop/Witches Festival achievement was exactly what I did a few years ago. It was a little stressful because of social anxiety, but the actual trial itself, Hel Ra Citadel, was quick and easy (well...we had to restart it once because one player went the wrong way when the group had to split up). It was overall a breeze to complete since we had an experienced leader directing everyone. Plus I got the antiquity lead from the final boss, so that was great. I haven't run any more trials since then and don't want to, but I'm glad I did that one. Doing a trial during the Witches Festival to combine event drops is a great idea!

Even for a non-crafter, knowing motifs is useful for outfit styles. Fashion Scrolls is the true endgame.

Thank you for the answer! Really wish that didn't take two quest slots for a month, but oh well.
PS: Requesting maintenance for the EU console realms, for one or two full days... they are beating PC EU, and we can't have that!

Yökarhu✭✭✭Who ever thought it was nice to make 2 out of 3 main daily quests to be absolute annoyance, should have their annual leave cancelled. :P Running in circles for 15 minute and still not getting the fat/furs/souls. This event was supposed to be about working together, now ppl are frustrated when others are taking the kills. And if you manage to kill the target, you still often don't even get the drop. Then wait, run more, fight to get your share. Ridiculous really. And yes, I did band together with a mate, wasn't a help.“Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.”1 -

I'm very unhappy with the event rewards but since I'm taking groups of guild mates through every day I learned some things that may help. Don't go to the map circles for the furs, fat whatever. Just go to the zones and kill the things that drop it. Undead essence, go to any daggerfall zones and kill undead. Go to Coldharbor for the souls, maybe the public dungeon but there's tons of good spots. Also the siege camps can drop them too from the kills there. But most importantly. Do it in a group! In a group we can knock out all 3 quests in under 10 minutes as long as, lol, the siege camps don't bug out. Which they do. A lot. Happy hunting.0 -

✭Well this event so far:
1. Stirk Wayshrine broken
2. Camps reset just because they can
3. 3 instead of 4 boxes, not fixed in game, nooo instead they changed the announcement
4. the boss for phase 2 spawned in phase 1, at least that got fixed
5. 100+ players hunt down 1 werewolve in hopes for 2 pieces of fur (similar experience for the other materials)
6. If you do not own the content pass, farming souls is a similar pain
7. Droprates from the boxes did not work as intended until Wednesday
8. Performance at the camps due to way to many players in one instance of solstice is abysmal, almost feels worse than Cyro
9. Bosses and camps in general are no challenge at all, as they have way to less health for so many players
10. And of course even the progress bar was bugged on day one.
