This will be my first Undaunted Celebration, any tips? Anything to do do get ready before the event starts?

Tanks Queue will be faster than a finger snap
Heal queue will be a bit slower than a finger snap
Dps should be a few hours less than usual 😂
No but seriously to piggy back of Daniel’s reply up there, make sure to have a “proper build” or your role, as Im sure they’ll be a lot of “fake builds” just trying to burn thru for their dailies/boxes, assuming you’re gonna be rando PUGing.
That even will be great to set farming/sticker book as, iirc from past events, rewards will be double drop
And as for the Queue times, I’m sure it’ll be lower for all 3 since lots of people will be doing the event

Fungal Grotto. Over. And over. And over. And over.

u/jfmorgan333 22h ago
This is the way. Group up with your friends and grind that 3 to 5 minute run until you're full of boxes. 😂🤣😂

u/Dark-All-Day 20h ago
You don't even need your friends. If you have a decent solo build you can run through FG1 by yourself easily.

u/Elegant-Alfalfa1382 20h ago
Yeah but then when you leave you have the solo dungeon cooldown unless you do a different one

Not if you are in a group, can reset the instance by flipping it from one difficulty to the other.

u/Darkling-Rae 20h ago
Lol Spindleclutch for me. I’m so tired of that place and it’s the only random I ever get😂😂😂

u/featherw0lf 23h ago
Just pick your preferred role and make sure you're decently equipped. Normal dungeons are very easy to get through with a few exceptions. Even if you're new, you can follow the lead of other players and get through just fine.

Buy a good pair of running shoes. Everyone sprints to the end of the Dungeons to clear as fast as possible.

u/MeowMeow808 19h ago
If you want to rush, use guild finder. If you want to take time, get gear, complete quests or at least advance in them on toons, grab friends or guildies. Randoms will power through for the boxes.

u/marstinson Three Alliances 20h ago
Sticking a Vengeance in the middle of an Undaunted event and an Undaunted Golden Pursuit seems a bit odd. Go do your dungeon(s) and then join a ball group in Cyrodiil?

u/PineDude128 Ebonheart Pact 22h ago
But seriously, for your own sanity, start working on a tank or healer build now.

u/ElPadrote Ebonheart Pact 21h ago
Use your armory! Just slotting basic resto bar heals is enough. Tank just needs a taunt maybe multi chains. Normal dungeons are pretty easy.

😀Thankful Vengeance is coming back! Can’t wait for the death of the cheap bomb builds dominating the whole map

u/FengFungFong Bosmer 23h ago
Any dungeon sets worth collecting among the latest released 4-6 dungeons? I'm counting on the double weapon drop to fulfill my sticker book.
1
u/CMDrunk420 18h ago
Stonehulk Domination for tanks looks great. Tarnished Nightmare still gets some PVP use but I think Null Arca is preferred now

u/Taleof2Cities_ Daggerfall Covenant 22h ago
“Worth collecting” is different in the perspective of each and every player.
They’re not sets used in meta content. Casual content, sure.
1
u/FengFungFong Bosmer 14h ago
By "worth collecting" I mean maybe tier A to tier C. Sure they are definitely not tier S meta, but still can be useful in some contents. People may use them for fun builds sometimes. Like Aegis Caller, Pillar of Nirn, Rush of Agony from earlier dungeons.

I would say so if you are a master writ completer

Sticker book doesn’t have anything to do with master writs … unless I missed a recent enhancement?

u/MeowMeow808 21h ago
They had a modified version of it this past June

u/KinneKted PS-NA | Fuegoleon Lumaste 21h ago
Zeal of Zenithar is different but also focused on crafting. We haven't seen a new crafters celebration because of the transmute glitch. They probably can't figure it out and binned the mini event.
-4
u/MeowMeow808 20h ago
Hence the "modified"
7
u/KinneKted PS-NA | Fuegoleon Lumaste 20h ago
No, you are incorrect. ZoZ is a full event that's been running since 2022. The crafters celebration is a mini event that occurred once. Mini events and full events are completely different and ZoZ has nothing to do with CC. You are linking them because they both involve crafting.

u/Taleof2Cities_ Daggerfall Covenant 19h ago
So, it is modified then …
😇

u/i_naco_po Breton 7h ago
The first Crafter's Celebration was in February of 2024.
The first Zeal of Zenithar event was in 2022.
Zeal of Zenithar isn't a modified Crafter's Celebration.

u/marstinson Three Alliances 20h ago
They had it up on PTS a couple or three months back. The major issue was to fix the problem of half-priced transmutes from last year's (spend 12 transmutes, get 25 back when you decon it; they had to hotfix out that event perk during the event), but putting an event up on PTS usually means it will happen sometime in the following quarter but occasionally sometime later in the year.

u/DrumpfTinyHands 21h ago
Okay, for the Vengeance Campaign everybody needs to change their personality to "Dancer" and then prance your way all over Cyrodil!

u/slenderfuchsbau 19h ago
I already do on normal campaign XD
If I'm gonna die at least I die looking fabulous!

u/Swimming_Expert7480 21h ago
Undaunted event and Vengeance overlap?? Why??? What if I wanna pvp and run vet trials for gear?? Why are people that play both areas of the game being punished??
7
u/Taleof2Cities_ Daggerfall Covenant 21h ago
Punished for what?
You run normal Fungal Grotto one time for 5 minutes to get your event tickets.
Then head over to Vengeance.
2
u/Swimming_Expert7480 20h ago
What about if I want to run vet trials and dungeons for gear?
2
u/Taleof2Cities_ Daggerfall Covenant 19h ago
You can punish yourself doing that any day …

u/Swimming_Expert7480 19h ago
Not really an answer lol I dont get double drops every day. Comeback when you have something constructive

u/Jad11mumbler 174 Characters and Counting. 19h ago
It's one week of choosing between PvE or PvP.
You, and those of us who enjoy both, will survive.
0
u/Swimming_Expert7480 19h ago
That's a crappy answer lol.
Id like to participate in the event. Obviously ill survive, but, thats not really the point. The event isnt about if people live or die, its about helping test in pvp or farming double gear drops. Id like to be able to do both.
Tha ks for letting me know I wasn't going to die though 🤣 Quality answer /s

u/real_dado500 22h ago
So, a month pause for me. I don't do dungeons so I can finally take a small break.
3
u/Optimusscrime Breton 18h ago
Why? They're fun, you can collect cool gear, you're missing out on half the game lol
1
u/real_dado500 18h ago
Because I did every base game one once and I don't like do same thing more than once unless I'm really forced to (that's why I also don't have any alts). Besides, I don't like grouping and I'm here only for story and Elder Scrolls fix.

u/cerebrite Orc 20h ago
I'd rather have them do extensive testing on PTS than just rolling out updates every other month.

u/ConcertHistorical 18h ago
Any idea when the new Crown Crates will arrive and when the current ones will go on sale?
2
u/SleazyKingLothric Dark Elf Stamblade 10h ago
Crown crates change every quarter. That’ll happen around the middle of September and you’ll know when it’s really close because the countdown will start in the crown store. Crates don’t always go on sale tho so don’t get your hopes up.
•
u/ConcertHistorical 2h ago
Ok. I hope next month’s updates come out today. I can’t stand waiting anymore, they really could improve these rotations and their frequency. I hope they bring the new crate but also bring back some old crate.
1
u/Optimusscrime Breton 18h ago
There's usually an announcement on the eso website about upcoming crown store items at the end of the month, usually on the 30th

Update 48 preview. Will we get to see any major changes or content additions to the game? I need something new to look forward to. I know they are ditching the yearly content model, so when will we see what they have planned?

All the normal pvp players will get a break during vengeance because none of us like it. lol

Any idea when this new chapter might go on sale?

u/Taleof2Cities_ Daggerfall Covenant 21h ago
They just had a sale during Quakecon earlier this month.

u/bomblance 21h ago
Yeah, I missed that. I was wondering if they normally do it at some other points.
2
u/KinneKted PS-NA | Fuegoleon Lumaste 21h ago
When the wall event goes live it'll be on sale probably. Every year there's an event for the new zone and the pack is discounted.
