I’m so angry with The Elder Scrolls Online right now, you have no idea.

Can anyone please tell me where I can pick up these quests:
  • Blunt Steel
  • Dark and Empty Spaces

I only need the Coffer Lamp Splinter so I can do the last dungeon and move on to Trial.

I mainly play ESO for dungeons and Trials, and this is exactly what ZoS is making difficult, just playing the game.

So please, for the love of God, before I lose my mind… where can I pick up these quests?!?

    Of course no one knows… In-game, no one replies, and on the forums there’s no help from mods—we’re completely on our own. I’m hating this game so much right now…
    In the last three days, I’ve done nothing but play something I truly hate, just so I can try one damn Trial…

    Can you actually help me? Then why aren’t you? What the hell are you talking about?!

    How can you say this is good when I don’t even have any idea what I need to do just to pick up one damn quest, so I can go into a damn dungeon, and then finally a damn Trial?! THIS ISN'T FUN!!!

    Grab the daily quest for killing a bunch of enemies that’s in the Plaza. Complete the quest then open the gold box tomorrow. We’re getting a hotfix for the splinters to make it 100% :party: (if you’ve opened your gold box today, then do it tomorrow).

    You don’t need to know the location for those quests, because you can only get the shard to drop from gold coffers. Gold coffers are the rewards for your faction’s daily quest and the Blood on the Sands quest from the one-eyed Khajiit. The daily quests in the three Night Market zones give you the following rewards: gold, one piece of overland gear (such as Briarheart, etc.), and 40 favor. The main reason to do those is to farm favor.

    As someone mentioned, they are going to do a hot fix to improve the drop rates for the golden coffers.

    Allow me to make a prediction.. when you enter the dungeon, you(or not you) will be posting on the forum: "I'm so angry... Why are these dungeons/trials so difficult? This isn't fun".

    Honestly, I’m tired of reading these messages about how "it’s all so difficult and not fun".

    I hope i'm wrong

    "Gold coffers are the rewards for your faction’s daily quest"
    is that one box per account or per character? Can I switch to other characters and try to get it again?

    "Blood on the Sands’ quest from the one-eyed Khajiit"
    is that one box per account or per character? Can I use other characters for this too?

    All of this is outside the districts, correct? And the dailies you’re talking about are inside the districts, right?

    Since I only need the Coffer Lamp Splinter, should I just focus on the faction’s daily quest and the one-eyed Khajiit? Is that correct?

    All this nonsense we have to deal with inside a damn game, will it be better tomorrow? No. So yes, I’m very angry. In fact, I’m just a little bit too close to going really crazy in-game so I can get rid of ESO once and for all.

    It’s only gold once per day per account. Tomorrow you’ll get your splinter on first daily completion.

    There’s literally arrows that appear on your map and in game on the compass and above the npcs heads that point you to daily quests for the night market as well as every other area in the game.

    If you don’t see that you probably already picked it up
    Zos then: Vengeance is just a test bro

    Zos now: Do you want Vengeance permanent or permanent...

    Assuming you mean where do you pick up the daily quest to kill enemies, in the Starlit Plaza is a Khajiit with a blue quest marker who will ask you to kill as many enemies as you can. My quest description says I need to kill 25 enemies, but he says that the more enemies you kill, the more he'll reward you, so I don't know if killing 25 will advance the counter to "the next level" (sort of like the repeatable quests for the Thieves Guild or Tales of Tribute where we can do one thing for one reward level, two things for a higher reward level, or three things for the highest reward level), or whether he just means killing 25 enemies each day for day after day-- but I'm guessing it's the latter.

    You get a gold coffer for 75 enemies. I would assume that the coffer would be blue(?) for less. I have not actually tried coming with less than 75.

    Okay, so I guess it's a "three levels" thing after all? In that case, I'm guessing 25 kills give a level 1 reward coffer, 50 kills give a level 2 reward coffer, and 75 kills give a level 3 reward coffer? Thank you! :)

    I've heard a few people say this but I don't think it's accurate. You get a gold coffer the first time you hand in this quest on each day even if you only killed 25 enemies. I did this a couple of days ago, killed 25 enemies and got a gold coffer, then on another character I picked up the quest and completed it (including killing 75 enemies phase) and only got a blue coffer. I think people are killing 75 enemies and assuming the gold coffer if for 75 enemies when it's actually just their first completion of the quest that day.
