Tomes: One comment and one question

AzuraFan · April 2

I decided to use my tokens to purchase the premium+bonus, to see what the full experience looks like, which will help me decide if I'll spend real money on later tomes.

Question: With the premium + bonus tome, which challenges remain after the season? Just the seasonal challenges, or also the weekly ones?

Comment: It's a pain having to claim the tome points every time I complete something. Can this be made automatic, just like we didn't have to explicitly claim seals when we completed an endeavor?

Bonus obsveration and question: the weekly challenge page says 4d remaining. Is that right?

Thanks!

Yes they add weeklies on Tuesdays because idk why, it's what they chose.

Still doesn't explain the 4d. A week has 7, so I would have expected 6d and some hours remaining.

Cause Tuesday is 4 days and some odd hours away.

Yes. The other weekly stuff switches on Tuesdays, so they apparently lumped this in there with those. Not sure if this is going to be a repeating pattern where the first week of a Tome gets shorted on the weekly challenges, but that's the effect for this one.

One secondary thought: this probably also means that the last weeklies of a Tome are going to be shorted by however many days in the first, so it's possible that the last weeklies will either have only a couple of days to complete or the weeklies will have to carry over into the next Tome.

As they said, it resets on Tuesdays.

We're on Thursday, so technically the week is already part over by the time it opened.

*smacks forehead* Okay, I get it now regarding why it's 4d for the weeklies this week, but on Tuesday for the next set, we'll have the full week. Thanks to everyone who responded.

Anyone have any answer to my first question? Actually, I'm thinking that I was looking at it wrong and it's not the challenges that carry over, but the ability to still buy stuff from the tome after the season ends. Is that right?

That one we don’t know for sure since we never tested a season changeover yet.

However, it seems that you will still be able to open the old Tome to buy things in addition to purchases from the new Tome. The Tome Points will reset to 0 (you can carry up to 2k points from the previous, but any more are lost) and you start the new Challenges to build points back up, which can be used to buy from any active Tome.

This is not my understanding at all, and would greatly devalue premium tomes if true.

My assumption (yes, yes I know) is tome points get bound to a tome, and you will be allowed to transfer up to 2000. When tome 2 comes out, if you have premium tome the points you've earned will remain in it and the weeklies will get refreshed every week. And tome 2 will come with ours weeklies and tome unlocks etc. So you can keep earning and buying towards multiple tomes.
I could very well be wrong, but this was what I understood from how they talked about premium tomes long term in the streams, the only place I've seen this subject mentioned at all.

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom could you clarify this part?

[after re-reading the Tamriel Tomes Guide, the question I posed in this post was answered.]

I asked: Question: With the premium + bonus tome, which challenges remain after the season? Just the seasonal challenges, or also the weekly ones?

It seems to me that the weekly challenges do stick around and you can continue to progress them and earn tome points. Also, I didn't realize this, but you don't have to complete the weekly challenges in the week they become available - just by the end of the season if you don't have the premium tome. I'm still unclear as to whether the seasonal challenges stick around for the premium, but nothing in the article suggests that they won't.
