Zeal Of Zenithar Gold Guide 💰 Tips & Tricks To Maximize Profit

The "Zeal of Zenithar" event is a new ESO event that is set to debut sometime in June 2022. This event will reward players that partake in event-related tasks with Zenithar parcels that can contain very valuable items in them. In this video, I will go over what I believe to be the best ways to farm these parcels for profit, as well as some of the notable rewards that have a chance to drop from the event parcels.
Since this information was gathered primarily from the ESO Public Test Server, some content is subject to change, and I will be sure to update everyone if this is the case.

Thanks for the information! I plan to do a lot of master writs (have 200+ in-hand) as well as the surveys to provide the mats to do them. All that I may be lacking is the time to grind that out. I thought about taking my thief/assassin toon out for a crime spree, but I’ll probably hate the RNG. I feel that doing the writs/surveys is the best tack to take because of the millions in materials I’ll collect from the surveys, the vouchers I’ll generate from turning them in (selling stations always makes me fat bank). The box is just a sweet little bonus on top of things I already do.

[@DucktacularEvents]

Really useful guide, thanks. One thing I thought you might mention is that, like the Anniversary event, a lot of the rewards are crafting materials so players without ESOplus are really going to struggle to find somewhere to put them, especially style materials. I signed up for a month of ESOplus for the Anniversary event and it looks like I'll be signing up for another single month to fully take part in the Zenithar event which is not ideal, although there are other perks of course. This is not helped by the fact that free ESOplus weeks used to happen 2 or 3 times a year but the last one was way back in October 2021 so lots of non-ESOplus players are already suffering with bank accounts and character inventories crammed full of crafting materials!

[@APolishedTurd]

I knew I’ve been holding onto this random lot of over 100 different master crafting writs and procrastinating learning the different styles for a reason

[@barrowstalker6826]

most of the game's content is overland. so i would love a challenging overland option. like Sheogorath give you the option to see the world differently. so when you go to Deshaan for example .. the sky would be red and the enemies are like vet trail mobs .. world bosses are "near" impossible to solo .

[@Arttea]

Woah, I love that idea! Sounds pretty lore-friendly too

[@JMErlendson]

Excellent overview! I agree that some world bosses don’t feel like a challenge anymore, and I’m not even optimized for DPS. When I can solo most and duo the rest, it feels like a miss. I understand that they’re wrapped up in some dailies - sure, but I’m also seeing lots of folks responding to zone chat help requests, and that makes sense. Except for B’Korgen. Now THAT feels like a world boss.

[@Arttea]

Yes! That slug is a PAIN to solo But hey, I actually have to pay attention during the fight and be mindful of mechanics (when his shield is up, when I need to block his mind-zap, when to roll dodge the add's knock-back spit mechanic etc), and I appreciate that!

I went from Delves to Public Dungeons to World Events to World Bosses to group Dungeons, and have done like 2 Vet Dungeons, 1 Arena, and 1 Trial. I'm always stressed out IRL, not very social, and this is my brain's escape to calm down. So I like that there's a lot of easy content to chill with. Solo-ing most world bosses and world events is enough to sate my appetite for challenge most of the time, and I still have room to grow more into arenas and group content.

[@sleepyiguess]

Your voice is soothing

[@Deeejayd1]

Hi, in the beginning of ESO world bosses were incredibly hard, you needed a full group of switched on players to bring them down. I remember creeping around craglorn because everything seemed to be harder than me. Oh how things have changed. My own opinion is that the bosses are more squishy now due to playing moaning on how hard the bosses are. The more players moan but the more things get nurffed - again, my own opinion. :)

[@Bosmer1701]

This will allow me to use up the Master writs I have been too lazy to use or delete. These things are take about a 1/4 of my bank space and spread out among my other characters.

[@Arttea]

Haha I know EXACTLY what you mean. *Finally*, I will have an excuse to do all of my master writs :')

[@Bosmer1701]

@@Arttea When it comes to your final part of the video, I wish they could do something about the world bosses. Depending on which character I'm using I can do all but 2 or 3 world bosses from the DLC zones, which included the one in your video. (I hate him with a passion). Maybe do something of increasing the HP of the world boss when they spawn based on how many player are there or what they do inte the Veteran dungeons.

[@Arttea]

@@Bosmer1701 That is a suggestion that I have heard before! Scaling world bosses, whose health or perhaps even mechanics differ depending on the number of people that are attacking them. I guess the Summerset geysers do this, in the sense that they spawn different final bosses depending on how much damage was done prior to that moment in the encounter. Perhaps world bosses could operate similarly! Also yes, fuck Ri'Atahrashi, all my homies HATE Ri'Atahrashi 😤

[@CreativeExcusesGaming]

So many thoughts from this video. First, the tape on the forum posts was a great little detail. I use tape like that for my camera when streaming so I loved seeing that tiny detail. Second, so much great b-roll in this episode. I really feel like these kinds of videos are where the eso content creation community should be moving toward as the genre matures and becomes more competitive, which makes me want to step up my videos even more. Finally, about world bosses. Killing a delve boss in no way prepared me for world bosses. Delve bosses are a cake walk. I think the real progression is delve boss > public dungeon boss > base game world boss > base game dungeon > normal solo arena > dlc world bosses > harder world events (dolmens hardly count, but a harrowstorm or a dragon can easily clap you) > vet base game dungeons > vet solo arenas > vet dlc dungeons. BUT. Soloable world bosses are fun. I do want them to be a bit harder sometimes, but they feel like low commitment bosses. What i would rather have is hard mode world bosses, like if you have the daily quest for them you can activate something for hard mode that changes the fight for everyone, or if you have the hard mode quest, the boss targets you specifically regardless of taunts with extra mechanics, like they know you were an assassin sent after them and they are unhappy about it.

[@Arttea]

Oh absolutely; you can kill a delve boss in like two seconds if you have your ult up While it is nice to have simple fights here and there, some more difficult combat scenarios I think would make overland content feel so much more rewarding. I like that idea - having a kind of hard mode of sorts. I know that others have suggested some kind of "toggle" to increase the difficulty of overland content - that way those that are interested can opt into it, while others that prefer super simple combat can opt out of it.

[@CreativeExcusesGaming]

@@Arttea First, thanks for reading that wall of text 😂 Second, hard mode toggle would be fantastic for all overland content, but I would settle for daily quests activating some “beat your ass” mechanics at world bosses, or sending you to an instanced version of a delve that is the hard mode of that delve. Just make this an option through an undaunted daily in each zone. Or just a setting for “veteran delves” that are just a vet instance of the same delves, and public dungeons. I would kill for veteran public dungeons.

[@WarriorRaiders]

Yeah I figured that was why my master writs were selling. You definitely should not buy Master Writs from WarriorRaiders in TTS as they are too expensive.

[@DBHErazor]

I detest ESO PvE, one of the few reasons I still play is that the no CP/ no proc campaigns were released. This means that whatever DLC / expansion come along I really don't ever have to engage with the PvE side of the game which suits me just fine. That being said I 100% understand there are tons and tons of people who are the opposite. It would be kinda cool if there were scaling worldbosses, meaning that the more players were engaged in killing it, the more difficult it becomes. Guild Wars 2 do this flawlessly and ESO could really learn a thing or 2 from that game about how to properly do overland content.

[@Arttea]

GW2 is the game that I constantly hear getting referenced when it comes to discussing the difficulty of overland content for that exact reason - it supposedly has a really solid overland PvE system; as you've mentioned. I think scaling world bosses would be a really neat idea. That way, when events like this come around, world bosses aren't going from 100 to 0 in 0.5 seconds

[@fatedcypress9222]

I think this would be a great answer to the issue. Personally, I love being able to solo world bosses and public dungeon bosses. Having them scale to be more difficult the more ppl engaged them seems like a great idea.

[@Starbridge1984]

Scaling bosses like that would be hard to properly calculate though. One person would start it at it's weakest state and then the zerg mob shows up, unless you're doing this formula based on how many people are in the zone, but then you get boned if the zone is at max pop and no one shows up to help.

[@aidanmcsweeney]

Why do you hate ESO PvE?

[@kyle2931]

I have some pretty cool news : earlier tonight, I figured out how to raise my scrying and excavation a little bit and I unlocked something having to do with the Antiquarian’s Eye. Telescope or something.

[@aldenencluna6409]

Nice.

[@bumpin8833]

The Hunger in Vvardenfell , and that darn guar in Deshaan would like to have a word. World bosses are fun, some are more challenging than others though. I prefer to solo most content, but enjoy some group content. I say keep the world bosses as they are. I mean Craglorn seems to have tougher bosses, which was the original ideal, so if the want to up the challenge then add it in future DLC's with areas made for groups, kinda like open world trial content perhaps. One question, what is it with the drop rate of alchemy master writs? Seems like before the last few updates they dropped more often. Or is that with all master writs?

[@DucktacularEvents]

Yes, I think the Hunger in Vvardenfell is unsoloable although I nearly managed it with a companion. However, it's a gamble how long the companion will take to interrupt the boss which is necessary when it feeds on you as it's impossible to break free from (without another player interrupting). I have soloed Caravan Crest though with a tanky nightblade. Apparently that one is easier the fewer players that are there so the boss is weaker against a solo player than against a group, so I've heard.

[@legendofnat5477]

I havent played eso in like a month but i still watch your vids because i like them do much :)

[@Arttea]

Thank you!

[@lucasarsenault5671]

The afterthoughts of the video are something I've thought about a bit tbh. I started off my journey similarly, I spent a long time questing and moving through the game slowly learning the new lore having come from skyrim. I figured that I would be able to go through end game content just by progressing through the game itself, but you don't get carried by your level, stats or gear in eso. You actually have to learn the weird mechanics like light attack weaving, parsing, build theory, etc to progress. There are pretty hard world bosses out there. A HEAP of them are soloable for beginners, and a lot of them take some skill to solo. There are others that I honestly wouldn't bother if it wasn't something I had to do or if I wanted to push myself. It's funny because we don't have a rating system for anything in the game. But when you start playing for a while you get your head around non dlc being easy, dlc hard. But that's it. Like, the deadlands world bosses would be hard AF to solo but are inundated by people still from its release and get melted - same with the portals and WWBs. While all the blackwood WBs are cake. I could see a rating system of the difficulty of WB's to be a positive thing, where certain gear drops on certain difficulties. Like how delves drop different gear to world events and world bosses. I think a lot of the game is too easy in a general sense, and the difference between easy and hard is far too spread apart. Which is why we get such a dramatic disparity between casual players and endgame players.

[@willdazey7368]

Your discussion on overland difficulty reminds me of an idea I've been thinking about. What would you think about a HM Overland instance? These instances would contain only 1 wayshrine per zone, in the respective capital. They would be PvP outside the capital (grouping eliminates attacking mates). Mobs would be much tougher. XP and nodes would be doubled, but maybe they would thin the number of nodes down. Thoughts? I like the idea of marketing these as RP instances. They could roll in Dark Brotherhood (which is sorely lacking PvP integration) with contract killing players or have bounty hunting boards in the capital that list players based on how long they have been in the wild (outside cities).

[@tobito7374]

I am fully on your side. But I think zos will always choose the way easy/wrong way. New players are more important for them. And they do not want to frustrate them. I don’t think they will ever change something in the case of difficulty. It would be great and would be helpful for the economy in eso I think. Love your videos. Good work !

[@nosamtrebmal]

Of course there's a fresh event right when I ship for boot camp. Just like all my shows finally coming back during the Summer. Wooo.

[@HeronHQ]

🦭s of Zenithar. :3

[@Sk0lzky]

Oh, as to the soloing WBosses imo should be doable but challenging... However the issue with all PvE challenges is that once you become proficient it always becomes a walk in a park, just look at souls-like games, roguelike platformers and such

[@Arttea]

That's true. I do think that some WB mechanics are objectively a little ridiculously easy though - like you saw how I was practically standing still and sniping point-blank for that bird world boss :') Some mechs that are a *little* more challenging would be appreciated, that way it can feel rewarding once I've mastered them.

[@bfc9467]

yeah it's pretty impossible to make something unsoloable without it being completely unattainable for 99% of the playerbase. Aside from adding BS mechanics that force multiple players to be there without actually adding any difficulty (ie unavoidable 1 shot kills unless a synergy is activated)

[@TheOutriderJ]

[@briarmobley6214]

Totally unrelated, haven't even watched the video yet, but no one responded on the forums and I figured you guys use your mailboxes the most. Is anyone not getting mail and being told your inbox is full when you have like 3 hireling mails in it and nothing else?

[@MrGenesiis]

Let's not forget that there are new players experiencing Overland content more so than any other content and it is meant for the newer player like when we first started 7 or 8 years ago. I think a solution would be to allow an individual to increase difficulty that does not affect other players even if grouped. Examples of this would be games like Wildlands and Outriders.

[@maciejysakiewicz2132]

Did you have a chance to check the rewards drop rate for pickpocketing? As an enthusiastic thief, I'm genuinely curious whether focusing on stealing will be profitable enough during this event.

[@adamlazorko4950]

When needing to be grouped with a guildie, do they HAVE to be online for me to get the reward box if I solo a world boss?

[@Arttea]

Yes, they do have to be online. At least, this was the case when I tested this on the PTS. Once, when I remained grouped with Drakar, I defeated a world event. However, Drakar was not online, and as a result, I did not receive a Zenithar parcel.

[@socionbyexample]

World bosses are pretty easy, sure. That's nice for solo players. I think the system of difficult and easy and soloable content in the game now is good, the main issue is that there's not enough difficult group content. I think if certain kind of world events in future DLCs and chapters were harder such that a team of 12, or 30 people were required, maybe like dragon events in Elsewyr, that would be a good solution to mixing it up without affecting what existing solo players have access to

[@oldbat4383]

i think you get rewards from wb fight only if you do in the top 12 damage. so if in a group larger than that, you may not get rewards at all. not sure of 12, but there is a max number. at least at one time.

[@carlosspicywiener9855]

Do you think it would be worth pre-loading and completing ready for hand in mutiple wb dailys in the lead up to the event?

[@Arttea]

The parcels drop from the world bosses, not the dailies, so I would say no.

[@ewapiksrandeb3966]

Are dragons in southern elsweyr counting as world boss? Can I get multiple coffers by farming them and at same time get plenty of dragon alchemical regents?

[@Arttea]

They count as world events - so yes; farming them is a great means to earn valuable dragon mats AND parcels. Just make sure you are grouped up with a guildie!

[@bfc9467]

I find the difference in difficulty between world bosses and questing, especially in dlc zones, to be my main issue. I will be romping around a new zone day one, getting the shards, delves and quests done and so forth- watching twitch and eating food at the same time. Then I come across a world boss and have to nope the fuck outta there unless there are a couple of people nearby. I get that they dont want people to not be able to progress in a quest because of their build/skill/level, and I also get that they try to make DLC world bosses much harder to make up for the thing you were complaining about in the video (wbs becoming trivial). So I don't really know how I would fix it. But the think I'm getting at is basically the massive chasm between the difficulty of world events, and everything else in a new zone. I just wish there were quests with difficult combat.

[@gavinfitch8406]

Find players. They're called world bosses, the fact that an overwhelming majority can be soloed is an issue.

[@Arttea]

I wish that the quests had more rewarding combat as well. It is a bit immersion-breaking whenever I finally get to face off against the grand, evil villain of the story and they get two-shotted

[@HeartMemory93]

8:18 I also read multiple times that you can get the High Rock Spellsword Style pages only out of the golden parcels. But somehow, I can't find that info anymore. Strange. EDIT: I found the info on the german eso-hub article, but not on the english one.

[@unifieddynasty]

ESO is an mmo mostly dedicated to casuals and single player TES gamers. ESO players buy zone packs, cosmetics, housing, gambling crates, subscriptions for the crafting bag, etc. Endgame ESO players do the same thing, and maybe subsets of them prog and scorepush trials or pvp. There isn't much of an incentive to make overland harder, because it will never be as hard as the trials or pvp, but it will be hard enough so that casual players don't bother with it. Basically, there's no money in it and there is no easily definable middle ground in terms of difficulty between a casual and a meta chaser.

[@Starbridge1984]

I think a lot of the super DPS combos need to be addressed for sure. As for soloing WBs, in base zone I would say that's ok, but when you start getting into DLC zones, I do wish some of them were harder. Overland events such as dolmens should be kind of the same as WBs. Base zone should be the training ground to solo and then when you get into DLC zones I feel like they should require another person or two, but in a way I'm glad they can be soloed because nothing sucks more than wanting to take down a WB or complete an OLE and no one be online to help. As far as the bug you mentioned about not getting the loot drop, it might be the same as dungeon bosses where if you kill them to quickly back to back you don't get anything but a handful of gold. Such as the PD in Dashaan. The bosses are so close together and so many people are blazing the zone that you get full rewards for every 3rd kill. So it could just be a cooldown timer for the loot, which would make sense.

[@Arttea]

Drakar (a guildie) and I were fighting the same bosses at the same time in this footage. We both got a coffer from a Deshaan world boss, but then only ONE of us got a coffer from the dolmen that we fought some time after (Drakar got it, since he was doing more damage). So I could see how perhaps there could be timers involved, but in that particular instance, that was not the case, since we were both fighting the same entities at the same time. As you saw, I was able to loot the chest and receive overland gear, but got no parcel. When timers are involved, and you are on some kind of cooldown, you can usually tell because you get NO gear. Just a small sum of gold (which didn't happen here; even when fighting the WBs).

[@satyakiray8588]

i think the Elswyr dragons are pretty damn hard to solo. Basically any boss that has instant cc and keeps Ccing on cooldown are very challenging. Cause you can heal though damage but constantly having to breakfree will drain resources. Or zos should introduce a hardmode for wbs where you put up a challenge banner .

[@Badgerinthenight]

"Two birds stoned at once".. was that, was that a TPB reference!? 😅

[@fsu7482]

[@onthaloose7521]

In regards to the overland content: I take it you weren’t playing at launch? I mention that because at launch I felt the difficulty was in a good spot, it was tough. Very tough. Doshia from the fighters guild quest was super hard, and that’s not even a world boss lol. I mention this because having more difficult overland content prepares players for more difficult experiences. Like veteran content. So if it wasn’t obvious, yes I’m all for more difficult overland. 👍

[@marcmywurds1066]

Suddenly, I feel like going to riften for a drink. lol I say add more challenging mechanics not just world bosses but delves and those mini bosses at the end of some side quests. If not adjust the scaling to how many players participate like in other mmos.

[@Arttea]

I'd LOVE to see some actually challenging mechanics for quest bosses. They don't have to be super difficult or anything; I know that zos does not want to lock certain players from being able to advance in a quest, but there's just something wrong about being able to effortlessly destroy some grand story villain Love the idea of content scaling to the amount of players present as well!

[@whoareyou56101]

@@Arttea Thanks!!!

[@joshv6295]

would the witches writs count as master writs ?

[@Arttea]

I do not think so, since they aren’t the same. Master writs require the crafting of gear and are turned in at the master writ mediator. Festival writs require the crafting of furnishings and are turned in elsewhere. Even if they did count, I would not use them as a means to receive parcels. If you have any left over, they are great to sell during the start of the next witches festival for a LOT of gold!

[@Kensen9]

They should do a weekly event where World Bosses get beefed up for a day, and give some extra incentives for defeating them.

[@janilaine2692]

After the main story you should be able to kick all bosses in overland.

[@Sl0thPriest]

Personally, I like that world bosses are soloable, so that players who aren’t there to grind the content directly following its release can still play that content. If I go to a random world boss in say Reapers March, Vvardenfell or Summerset, I can still do that daily quest or grind for that zone’s achievements. If WBs were impossible to solo, I would have to spend an ungodly amount of time in game (at least on Xbox) waiting for someone else (a lot more than just one person if the bosses were very hard) to come along… or resort to begging my guild buddies for a hand. Instead, maybe they should introduce a new kind of world boss that needs lots and lots of players to complete. I think a new kind of world boss with very very VERY good rewards would both satisfy this desire from the players, and incentivize people who have long since completed the content to return to it.

[@brendamartinez5415]

I would like a better video on PVP survival in the Imperial city and Cyrodill. I am no slouch, been play over 3 years. BUT I run into players in these areas that one shot me. How the heck do they do that?

[@willdazey7368]

The Elegant Lining drops feels bad. As a crafter, I'd like to see Mastic drops instead as they are WAY more expensive for some reason.

[@keithbaker7097]

Base game is fine as far as learning but difficultly should scale

[@barrowstalker6826]

3:06 i choked lol

[@GamonSamurai]

To be honest, I don't think that there is a lack of hard bosses in the game, if you long for a challenge go fight a dragon or do a trial, those are not soloable and require a group effort.

[@Dezizz]

IMO, the WBs and WEs are sufficiently difficult. However, I wouldnt call myself a pro gamer lol. Before I was champion level, if there wasnt an event going on, and i couldnt easily solo a WB then i would wait forever til someone came around to help. In champ levels i can usually take them down, but its very stressful, and i dont like stressful in games, i end up giving up.

[@Arttea]

Fair enough - I don't like being too stressed out when I play games either so I get where you are coming from. The flip side is that super easy content (like that silly DLC bird world boss footage that I showed at the end there) doesn't feel very gratifying for me, so I do end up craving a bit of a challenge.

[@Ithiryn]

I think the subject of world boss difficulty is kind of a complicated issue in the specific context of eso. It would definitely be nice if they scaled so they don't get completely steamrolled any time a critical mass of players shows up, but on the other end of the spectrum I also don't think they're intentionally designed to be soloable either. While alot of them are soloable I feel like, at least in my experience, it's a combination of player skill and building specifically to be able to solo them but then you're left with the problem that after it all becomes muscle memory there is no challenge anymore. As it is currently I think they have to design fights for an unspecified number of players in the zone and coming to fight the boss, with the expectation that a tank or healer might not show up so dps characters have to be able to take a hit from the bosses and recover from them, but that means if you have patience, the right setup and know the fight victory is inevitable regardless of player count. At the other end of the spectrum would be something like harrowstorms, which feel really bad when you're trying to do them and no one shows up. I think they could redesign world bosses to be small group or guild content, but then they would also probably have to scale up the rewards for completing them somehow to make them worth doing more than once for zone completion, but also not scale them up so much that everyone just starts zerging the bosses in zones with high value items for easy high end rewards in some zones while completely ignoring others making zone completion next to impossible without finding a group specifically for zone completion.

[@ErinRichardsonArtUK]

We have more health and more damage, than ever. Only a few years ago, most nightblades couldn’t reach the bare minimum 17k health required to prevent being one shot by dungeon bosses (remember when all tanks had Ebon armour, and often had to equip it for this reason?) Maelstrom arena used to be difficult, now we melt enemies, with ease. ESO devs are dedicated to pouring out new gear (armour, mythics) and/or new classes every damned patch. Which if they weren’t better than old gear and classes (looking at you necro!), they of course wouldn’t sell. It’s the way this game works. Having said all that, I prefer to play solo. I’m FARMING these bosses, so I don’t care if they die easily, and gain nothing whatsoever if they don’t. lol

[@alexkuhn4335]

I feel the same way about all Overworld activities, including Quests. The fact that you can 1 hit the Villain of the Story who has been hyped up in the entire Zone feels so disappointing. return

[@TerenceCarter]

I think the overland level is fine. It’s pretty weak once someone hits CP1500+ and have all of their perfected, golded out gear, maxxed skill lines and abilities and have practiced their rotations to perfection. But you have to remember the noob on his lvl 10 toon and three skills and no points in passives. I tend to do stories and quests “naked”. No gear, no potions, no buff food. Just skills, passives and CPs in place. I’m not the best player, so doing this does up the challenge level for me. It would be a shame if a new player couldn’t complete any story lines or quests. They would rage quit the game right away.

[@eldenmox5525]

i would be fine with overland content difficulty if pvp didn't have so many issues. in fact it would be nice if all pve was a cake walk with pvp being for the end game sweats. so when it comes to balancing devs could focus on pvp and pve can just be for casual story mode and chill time. also there way too big of a gap for difficulty from normal to vet content.

[@amunrasta1538]

ESO world bosses are stupid easy and absolutely needs to be addressed. They should offer players the option for an over-world hm or something.

[@ChadCourtneyTAZ427]

WTF is a Giga-Chad ;-) But I agree, about 75% of the WB after around CP500 w/ a decent rotation should be a Solo Cakewalk for anyone w/ a DPS build. Another 20% are a challenge but doable. And then the final 5% you simply need at least one more players DPS to burn it down before it gets to powerful (maybe someone w/ 100K DPS can burn it down quickly enough, I can't at 70K DPS.)

[@k1blitz350]

Damn if this game stopped kicking me out 24/7 so I can do theses events 😪

[@praetorian3733]

I remember when I first started playing ESO, I was so accustomed to world bosses in other MMO's that I didn't dare go near a world boss by myself until like CP 500 .. I was very disappointed for waiting that long. I think they should be much harder that they currently are.

[@Arttea]

LMAO I can imagine how disappointed you must have felt At least having the option for more difficult overland content would be nice.

[@bovrar2nd861]

1:57 lmao

[@TheHUEZOX]

I think we should tackle the WB problem on a case by case basis, some of them are quite hard (wich im ok with, as they should be, because bosses) and some of them are incredibly underpowered, (for example, the Trapjaw boss from Glenumbra) I killed him yesterday by myself with a lvl 20 templar, with lvl 1 gear in some slots without too much problem. Thats just laughable In my opinion, we should also fix normal mobs, as most of them die just too easy, theres no real challenge, its braindead easy. whats actually hard is to die against them, literally!! just try gathering like 4-5 mobs and let them kill you, see how much it takes them to do so. just make them as hard as dungeon mobs, or at least 2/3rds of their power (health/damage) and it would suddenly beso much better it feels like we are playing in constant easy mode, drives me insane

[@P4NxC4K3]

Nice Rickyism lol

[@Alex-rz4fg]

Yeah, it is pretty ez tbh. I love the combat in this game but that's a let down. Recently I've been breaking up the monotony by playing Guild Wars 1&2.

[@GatitaLindaRawr]

Yes, WBs are too easy. Specially during an event when they come down so easily.

[@wdeemarwdeemar8739]

There are players that can solo hard mode vet dungeons so no you cannot compare what a new player or what an experienced player can do. When Craglorn was new a fully leveled player could not even kill the wasps, you needed 4 players to do everything it was a literal wasteland.

[@Arttea]

Indeed, I am good friends with one of those players haha. But in my video, I just mean that the mechanics for world bosses are incredibly simple. As you may have noticed in the video - I could stand still for a majority of those fights. Stand still! For a world boss!! It's pretty boring just standing still and casually parsing down what is meant to be a "WORLD" encounter, in my opinion. I think the argument could be made that such an encounter should be more objectively difficult.

[@minecraftminer59mineboymin38]

bruh jsut buy the writs to resell it....

[@Arttea]

It’s not really worth it to excessively pay for writs just to do them for the event (to get a reward parcel) and because a lot of people know this, flipping writs is not the best way to earn gold; there are far better items to take up guild store slots to flip

[@ms_online9580]

I really hate this "don't do enough dmg? No rewards for you!"-system. Who thought about that!? My main is a tank and due to this system I can never get any loot from deadland bosses with him since he's there to TANK damage and save others lifes and not to deal it...

[@kaigunfan]

I miss pre-One Tamriel where venturing into...say Craglorn as a wee VR2 to try and farm some mats to get that juicy nirncrux more often was replaced by fleeing in terror from VR12(?) Welwas and getting absolutely trucked by wasps. At least you had a challenge there. Hell, in the base zones porting from, say Glenumbra on a fresh toon and ending up in Bangkorai to collect sky shards and even the Skeevers could kick your ass..

[@Arttea]

I never played before one-tamriel but I can definitely see how some would not prefer this new system. I mean, it's great in the sense that you can play with a new friend/player with ease, but yeah, you lose that sense of your own progression with overland pve content. I think the old system sounds pretty cool from a market perspective as well - the more rare (and expensive) materials being locked behind difficult content (old Craglorn) would be a great means to reward skilled players for their aptitude in the game.

[@tatsfinest8343]

i started buying and flipping stuff in traders and was making great returns 10-15mil per day then all of a sudden sales halted, do the whales in ESO blacklist people to keep market control? its annoying asf, they should make sales annonymous imo

[@Arttea]

Hmmm not that I am aware of? What exactly were you selling? Certain markets can be incredibly volatile, which may explain why your sales suddenly drop. Something that I notice happens a lot to me in my Mournhold guild, is that OTHER players (evidently) take a look at my MM data to see what I am selling to list the exact same items and undercut me :') That always explains my lack of sales for a specific item after a few days-1 week with that one guild, and it's always the same people that undercut me lmao, they aren't even trying to hide it. Maybe something similar is happening with you?

[@tatsfinest8343]

@@Arttea deadlands maps avg price was btween 700-800k i think and mine were selling within the first day listed for about a week, then all of a sudden no sales, but i noticed som in my same trading guilds priced higher than mine were stil being sold? thats y i assumed a blacklist?

[@spencersmith5974]

I do not like how, as a tank, I don't know how to DPS at all. It's a joke really haha, I do 2k dps max. While I do a great job as a tank, when I need to do any form of DPS when I'm in a mess of people, I'll never see the loot because I think whoever had the highest DPS out of, what was it, 8 or 10 people? Those people get the drops while everyone else gets like 1 gold haha.

[@fairandbright]

It's weird, isn't it? I distinctly recall Rich Lambert saying the reason they went with megaservers was because "You can play with all your friends!" and yet all overland content can be done solo. Dungeons and Battlegrounds have queues you can join and it's really only trials where you *have* to have a premade group. Sadly, I don't think ZOS will be changing things anytime soon. It seems pretty clear they're trying to bring in new players so they want the content to be as easy to do as possible.

[@Arttea]

That's a fair point. I think it's reasonable to say that ESO is a fairly "casual" MMO that is very friendly for new players, and having world encounters that are too difficult could dissuade new or casual players from partaking in them altogether (whereas less casual players/veteran players would be inspired to defeat them).
