Late Hearts Week - Solo Gold Farm Info (Ye Old Craglorn Nerfed)

Hey everyone!! I was primarily just looking to post a reminder with some old content earlier, but when going to check my work. I was devastated to see ZOS had massacred mah boi! lol
So I came up with an alternative solution, and still a great way for solo Players to get their gold farm on.

Can also be done in groups as well, but ofc splitting farm mats will have different results. Maybe focus more on the bosses in that scenario for non Parcel Loot.

Written Explanation:

I discuss the nerf of Craglorn portal farms in the video, sadly you can only get 1 event reward box every 5 minutes now. Instead of 60+ an hour like previous years, paced at the speed you could kill them and have them re-spawn. I had not realized this until going to check my old work before posting. (luckily I do this LOL)
You want to start your run with a boss kill, and then farm the most lucrative mats around Craglorn within the portal spawn paths.

If you do not receive a parcel within 5 minutes from farming materials, pop another portal immediately. You will eligible for a guaranteed new parcel due to them counting as world bosses and being a quick very available kill.
Continue this cycle. And if you do receive a parcel from farming materials, then skip portals for that 5 minute cycle.
Rinse and repeat.
You can obtain up to 12 parcels an hour if done perfectly and a boat load of materials. Results of Nirncrux will vary on RNG ofc.
This hour farm, where I didn't even maximize the Parcel drops. Yielded me 315,000g in material value.
&
486,000g after opening only 8 parcels. So an extra 171,000g (This loot ofc varies. And this gold value is very "average" it can be MUCH higher and also lower if unlucky)

Hope this helped someone in time while the event lasts.

Enjoy!

Awesome job as always!

this is great if you want a not-boring option, but at 12 parcels per hour, you can get the same results camping a world/delve boss

For sure, and the treasure maps option.

There is always something after that I wish I threw into these videos haha

But adding it into these comment sections helps for anyone who reads, so I appreciate the addition!

IA has been a lot of fun and rewarding. Can either burn theough levels and gwt boxes when you do, or time it so each boss is five minutes apart... perfecto...

The rewards have been rely good.

You get the added benefits of sticker book items and archival fortunes

YES! IA is a very great option, especially for those who like to do it anyway since it can be a pretty fun side game to play.
Good addition!

I know. My multitasking skills are legendary, and replicating this is not for the faint of heart.

The issue with normal delves is players can trigger early spawns and throw off box timers. Treasure chest work well, I use comps wb timer to keep track for cool down. I watch YouTube or a movie between afk. The cool down ruins the fun a bit imo.

Yeah, I wish they would have found an alternative to just adding a 5 min timer.

Something needed to be done, but there could have been other options which felt rewarding instead of setting a "wait" time gate.

Overall, I like the event. But that new nerf to all the events needs a rework.

i've never messed with the delve ones for camping outside of endeavors or leads. i use wb's because they are much easier to get to

That can kinda be the perk though, less people and you can kinda farm around inside the delve without maybe missing the boss kill b seconds

I've been farming boxes in one of the group delves in craglorn..there are several, they have a small plus symbol by their name on the map.
They are instanced ..so you go in get to the boss and camp..no one will alter the spawn schedule.

Yup, I've farmed ironhead or whatever the crocs name is. It is nice to get ivory brigade or stendaar stamp gear though. Crags styles aren't worth much.
