For banished cells you can skip the first boss as well and just go directly to shadowrend. You only need to kill the adds right before that door.
I don't think this could even be called an exploit since all it does is minimize the time needed to get the stones. If you spent 20 minutes per character on a random dungeon, you would have the same amount of stones. I don't see that ZOS would complain. Excellent video!
@@ParadoxESO well, that's not how exploits are defined... But honestly it's still so labour intensive with the setup and whatnot it's not anywhere near game breaking
Nice little trick, along the same lines as the older one where you could queue for your random and then direct travel into FG1, complete and it would count towards the random daily reward.
As I mentioned in a comment on another of Paradox's excellent videos, another thing you can do is look through your guild rosters for low level players and whisper them asking if they want to group up for a random dungeon. This happened to me recently when I was out on a level 15 character.
The most efficient way to farm crystals is actually Cyrodil. Spending 5 minutes repairing walls to 20k AP in a 30 day campaign will net 50 transmute crystals per character when campaign ends. Comes out to ~600 stones per hour. Of course it is a delayed reward and hard capped at 900 stones per month, but is like 3x more efficient and does not depend on friends or having a low level character.
@@ParadoxESO not fast, but after 1-2 months the pipeline essentially eliminates the need to grind for them. The 1k cap can be subverted by banking re-constructed gear (deconstructing non-mythic re-constructed gear gives back 25 crystals).
@@nomad4594 I couldn't find any sources to back up this claim, but anecdotally it would explain why I still have unexpected surplus of crystals in months where I don't play alts. The documentation does explicitly state that an additional 20 are rewarded to the top 10% of AP leader board within your faction (in both the 7 day and 30 day campaigns), so if you punch slightly above tier 3 in a below 50 campaign you'll probably achieve this.
Is this still trick still working? Because I've t tried the similar trick and it doesn't give me rewards to the character who ported in to the dungeon.
A premade group could simply walk into or instant queue the dungeon regardless of having someone join as a low level. Alternatively there's a 50 transmute crystal reward for Cyrodiil campaigns as well as a few crystals obtainable per battlegrounds match
Yeah but if you get a lair of Marsalokk it’s going to take like 10 mins atleast and you could probably do like 4 fungal grottos so you’d get 4x more also yeah cyro is good but it takes 30 days
@@BlackCatOnline- Pre-grouping wouldn't allow you to choose any of the 3 "starter" dungeons explicitly for the Random Daily Dungeon reward. This trick forces the game to only have those 3 to select from. Once you logout of the lvl10 toon, login to your high toon and complete (giving all 4 players their bonus), you disband, have everyone log into a different toon for the bonus, and log back into the lvl10 toon to restart the process. So each toon people use, is able to force the game to select FG1, BC1 or SC1 as their Random Daily Dungeon, by having the lvl10 toon be crown, send the invites and initiate the queue.
I have my alts setup as tanks for fast Que and you don’t need much for random normals but do get the occasional dlc as well as setup for writs. So when I have time I log on to each one and do writs and a quick random. Do appreciate the cheese lvl 10 method tho.
@@ParadoxESO especially for people who recently started playing and only have 2 or 3 maxed players. Now they typically get 30-50 a day doing multiple pledges which is one piece of armor a day.
@@gavinfosterstewart4893 yeah new players get it bad for transmutes but I suppose they can max out characters and find a friend to carry lol otherwise yeah sucks to be new
although in a random group there's a risk that a new player with slow running speed will get left behind and will have to try to run through a whole load of aggroed mobs to catch up resulting in their almost certain death 🙂
Only problem is it might take 2mins for fungal groto 1 but it takes 5mins minimum of loading screens and logging in and out for your 4th person. Good idea tho
We do this but instead of a person missing out I have a level 10 account on a different console that groups, then gets vote kicked. We then just run as a group of 3 instead of someone missing out. Often the place gets replaced with some random anyway.
Logging out of the lower toon, and then into one of your higher toons ensures all 4 people can get their stones. The lvl10 is being used as a patsy to limit the queue to just those 3 dungeons.
@@Anticidal25901 that's not what he said at all. Learn to read. He said why would you wait for the lvl 10 player to log back into their actual toon. He never said "you won't earn transmutes." No idea where you got that from.
Unless you actually queue for a random you don't get crystals so the 4th person who was a level 10 WON'T get transmutes with the rest of the group unless they random queue again and are fortunate enough to end up in the same dungeon after switching. They did fix the problem where if you random queue and don't get ported in you can travel to someone in the group and still get crystals though.
Na so basically whoever has the level 10 gets the other 3 to vote to kick him as soon as they load in, then you have no leavers penalty where you have to wait to re queue and the level 10 never finished the dungeon so as it never levels up then you just repeat as much as you want on the level 10
Yeah that’s right and then the other 3 people can just change characters for a new daily reward, but the level 10 can do infinite dungeon finds with no cool downs so it’s pretty cool
@@wstcyda4850 yes that’s correct what you would do is have one of the other members of the group make a level 10 character and repeat this for the guy who was on the level 10 first if they need gems too :)
See….I get this…but like if you already have 17 fully geared out dps toons, what do you need transmutes for? The people struggling with the transmutes are the ones who barely have 4-5 viable toons
you can do this with 4 - 5 toons and still get like 40 - 50 gems in probably 10 mins you can make characters for free and you can make up to 8 so every one can do it alsooooo you can simply move gear across to other characters i only have 1 version of any gear i have and i just move it using my bank
First off, why would one only want 17 dps tools? I have a mix if tanks, heals and dps. Then there's the gear that gets changes pr the mechanics. Now instead of the trait that's on your armor now, the better choice would be a different one. You going to farm for that sane piece of armor and hope for that trait to randomly appear? Not me. I'm either going to recon or just xmute it with the new trait. Seriously, playing just a dps role is boring af...
Never ever. It basically needs about 20 min just to log in and log out with 18 Chars, and 2min for Spindleclutch 1 is also not possible. Takes literally longer just to run through. And you can only get crystals once per day on each char right? So when i only have 1 good char this method wont work
Crazy when you main pvp I've never not had under 500 stones in almost 6 months 4 characters in the 30 day campaign get 50 each character. You get the stones from your rewards of worthy 🙌
That is not the fastest way. Fastest way is to have a second account, open in a second window. All you need is 3 x lvl10 to swap between for cooldown. You also don't need other ppl, you can just pug it. It is 100% ok with admins as you are not using any automated software and manually control your toons.
I think you can hold 1000 with eso plus but also you can craft an item that needs transmutes and if you own the full set for example you can build it for 25 gems and deconstruct it for 25 gems when you need them.
@@ParadoxESO I already have 18 characters (more than 50 actually across 3 servers). People with full character slots like mine who want transmuted CANNOT use this method
Yeah, but imho if you don't really really need that huge influx in crystal _RIGHT NOW_ (..😅🤣), you'd be better off just PUGging a normal random on 3-5 of your characters around afternoon time, as many days of the week as you manage. Around afternoon time I ALWAYS have some lv20 dude in the PUG, sometimes ALL of them are under champion level - and thus the dungeons are exactly the trashy easy zoom-zoom runs he mentioned in the video here. 18 chars, as he proposed in the video here is a bit much to run for a day, imho. And you'd probably wanna do it multiple days in a row, for maximum profit, if you already go through the setup & coordination hassle with your bros/dudettes.. I mean, would be amazing having bank char STACKED with 200x Geodes each carrying 10 Crystals, but at the same time I'd rather just do a few chill runs here and there with my favorite toons, or who I feel like playing. Still, great tech he thought of, and awesome descriptive video on top!
I feel like its not ideal that theres a cap and that you get so little gems but otherwise its not all that bad as it saves you trait farming every piece of your armour.
@@ParadoxESO u can get a hundred+ each day fairly quick and easy even without moochin off ur friends. The cap is my only problem with it. other than the cap you can get 4-5 pieces of anything u want each day. Its one of the best QoL changes ESO gave us
