The spectral chicken rune gathering is cute so I hope it comes to the bazaar someday, but I'm not interested in being amongst the theme park crowds on the opening two weeks of the new attraction to get it

Likewise, I'm going to wait until things calm down quite a bit before I jump in... and even then I'm taking my time, one gets tired of hearing about people burning through a quest or an event or whatever and then complain about being bored because there's nothing to do.

I haven't started the quest yet, but could it be the case that you don't get credit if another player or your Companion deal the killing blow?

Not even sure where the Plunderers are. If they are in the hideout, then that is a big fail on ZOS's part because like always, it is stand around and wait until they spawn. It is obvious to me that they really do not care about our time. These should be both inside and out because if you leave the hideout you cannot get back in.

Yes before anyone goes off the rails, there are other Golden Pursuits that can be done but this is all about game design which is something the company is really lacking at the moment. it appears as though they really do not think about things from all aspects and expect us to know how we are supposed to play according to their play style.

I couldn't even get the first one to complete, because there was a bug-- whenever Noth ran inside the Shivering Shack, I would follow her in as directed by the pop-up quest messages, but when I entered the Shivering Shack she was not inside, the quest pointer was on the door to go outside, and the quest journal kept telling me that I needed to follow her in and talk to her. If I went outside, she'd be back outside, say her line (again), run inside the Shivering Shack (again), but then be missing (again) as soon as I entered the Shivering Shack. Talk about MadGod-cap antics! I went around in circles that way for a few times before I decided to just drop the quest.

Fortunately, going back to Malabal Tor and restarting the quest from scratch seemed to resolve whatever was causing it to glitch, so I was finally able to complete that stage of the questline and the associated Golden Pursuit.

Are there even daedrats in the hall of the dead? All I've found is skeevers, apart from the boss for the quest. And again the same tired task design with 10k players competing for the same resource at the same time. Why?

They are, but people kill them way too quickly. You just have to wait for them to spawn. It's so annoying.

Just completed the Sheo quest line, here are some hints:

1.) You can re-enter that vault with the daedrats anytime again after leaving. Try destroying those barrels with the stale cheese, that sometimes triggers the spawning of the daedrats. If not, just run around and wait for them to spawn near those barrels. They ARE there, it's just that sometimes, their spawn rate is too low.

2.) For those of you (like me) who didn't complete the "3 plunderers pursuit" and now can't re-enter that vault, just be patient. You'll revisit that vault near the end of the Sheo quest line. Same applies for that other vault where you can kill 5 resp. 10 human daedras in order to get the Golden Pursuit completion.

Best

I managed to be the only one to do it, with no companion out. No credit. Tried it on a second character - also no credit.

I just created 10 foods containing cheese and it didn't count toward the ' craft 10 cheese item'.

Anyone know what counts towards that?

The crispy cheddar chicken worked for me too

I got pursuits done by just doing the questline. I haven't got that kill daedrats one too.

I completed the entire quest line with 14/15. If either the daedrat or plunderer ones had actually counted, I'd be done. I guess I'll either have to make cheese dishes or collect butterfly bits.

I suspect that is partly because there are no Daedrats in the Hall of the Dead outside of the boss room for the section you get access to as part of this quest.
at least there haven't been any I could see

That's exactly where I was when I killed them. Even took a second toon through the quest line to that point and kited tbe named big one until I'd killed more than five, and it still didn't trigger. FWIW both toons were running the same Arcanaist skill line (one subclassed, one pure classed) so maybe the issue is beaming the things to death doesn't count for some reason?

The Daedrats are special spawns around the glowing cheese barrels. You can re-enter the area at any time.
Not sure about the need to destroy the barrels, probably you don't need to (or maybe only once). Respawn took exactly 5 minutes.

This! If you stand on the platform where you can see a barrel just below you, they repop exactly every 5 minutes, just be patient and you'll get them all.

For the daedrats, I stayed inside the vaults after killing the big daedrat, and kept running around killing any daedrats that spawned until I'd killed enough.

As for the plunderers, there are 3 or maybe 4 inside the cellar, but they take a while to respawn after they've bedn killed, so if you don't see any it's probably because other players killed them and you need to wait for them to respawn. Whenever I saw one, I would just lightly tap it a few times so other players could get some hits in as well, and I still got credit even if I hadn't landed the killing blow.

The two quests that were the hardest for me were mixing the ingredients to open a portal to the Shivering Isles, because no matter how much I tried I couldn't get a prompt to interact with the brazier until I switched to third-person view and aimed my cursor well above the brazier; and the part where I had to collect motes from the chickens, because I couldn't find them very easily until I was almost right on top of them, and there was one back near the beginning that I'd missed.

This 5 daedrats pursuit is so annoying. Turns a quick quest dungeon into a list of tasks blocking progress.
