Everyone loosing their minds about vMA grind yet another new system is just waiting to hit you in the face with an even worse grind 😱😱 At least it is new so it has that going for it.
I'm running around, listening to music and chillin' in every map. Sure it becomes tiresome after some hours so I do bossess (that lighten the process later btw) Easily beat 8 just scrying like it was intended and got a mythic item already waiting to be dug. If you want to grind it on artaneum, do it. But I believe you are mistaken by calling this whole skill line (including expanding on the skill tree throughout the process) a grindy one. You chose to grind it on a small map doing greens over and over. I'll sound like a jerk but "people can't enjoy games no more"
I’m hoping that this skill align allows for skill points to be gained if not this is going to be very difficult or maybe I’m gonna have to go back and redo my skill points see what I can give up
Alcast I actually love you man this took me an hour to get then i realised i was running the wrong direction from the orb everytime!!!! smh smh but thanks man this helped so much.
So basically you're telling us that they've changed one of the core principles of how you go about obtaining the best gear in the game. No longer do we have to sit there and deal with 11 other children in adult bodies demanding perfection?.. (Well, just to obtain the base items for the sets.) And that when we do quests, explore, progress on our own, or with a few friends, basically play the game, we'll finally be rewarded for it!?!?!.. Sign me up!
I only ever seen people ask for the bare minimum of dps 20k in normals, 30-40k in vet trials. That's like the bare minimum. Sounds like you're the child complaining that the bare minimum is asking for too much. If you can't handle that there are plenty of guilds that you can pay to be carried through trials.
JPreciado not true. I wasn’t accepted to join vet sunspire because the guildie asked for 65k dps and I was only 2k behind 63k and for that reason I wasn’t allowed to join them
As much as I hate to join vet dlc dungeon as healer when both dps do 10k in total but some of the rules the elite people put out there is just as silly, most guild will require you to do 65k and above and put bizarre rules for healers and tanks it’s just silly
Sniper Grilll 65k on raid dummy isn’t elite, people do it with even missing most LAs. If you want to do the most difficult content with a bigger group, then you should bring something to the group, otherwise it’s just a carry and for a carry you should pay your shekels.
I totally agree. When I was 5 I played Zelda on Gameboy for the first time and now many years later I am 32 and still love the adventuring/treasure hunting part of games.
Its not...not even close. I just saved you 40 dollars. No one should be buying/playing greymoor if you havent finished orsinium, mirkmire or summerset or clockwork or litterally every dlc before this yet
This system is a complete cluster fuck if a major mess I have as much understanding about anything in this video as I did before watching it which was nothing
I just picked up the skill line and have been doing my first few dig sites. So far I've done about 10 of them but have yet to any blue leads, I just keep getting the next green. Everywhere I look however suggests that a green lead should be netting a blue lead to follow, so far however I've not gotten any.
Thank you, Alcast. That was helpful. Honestly. I may not be interested in this rather juvenile mini-game or in yet another expansion given the state of Cyrodiil but many people certainly will. And in just a few months we'll know if the servers will improve enough to continue with this game. By then this expansion will be heavily discounted anyway.
Can you get duplicates of a lead (purple / gold) on one character? Like, I've gotten and completed a gold lead for the Meridian Sconce? I got the lead my first time through after the Greymoor drop on PS4. Is that it, or can I get another one? I've run NDoM about twenty times, and haven't gotten another Meridian Sconce Lead. Everyone in Zone chat, Better Homes and Gardens (farm the furniture), etc seem clueless.
Its probably too much to ask but once I've got max level can i buy the lines on the crown store like mages guild etc? Im fine with grinding it but not on multiple characters.
Dont ever support that predatory store under any circumstances. If its in store it doesnt exist. Thats mentality everyone should have. Youre hurting the whole playerbase.
Don't know if they've changed it or not but I've been getting purple and some gold leads and I don't even have greymoor yet. was planning on getting it at some point guess will have to do it in next 30 days then if i don't want the leads to expire :/ anyway thanks for the guide helped make things a bit clearer
Assuming you want to use the same mythic item on more than one toon, can you acquire it multiple times per toon? Or would you need to go through the whole search and leveling on a second toon?
@@animalcrossing7475 not what I'm referring too. I mean if you want 2 of the same mythic item, can one toon farm it twice or do you need to do the antiquities quest on a second toon.
@@Akrotiriken From my understanding, purple + up leads are only scryable once and leads only appear once per item, so you'd have to hop on another toon
I got gold leads from battleground rewards that i did before patch and just opened after patch when i even didnt have greymore at that time of opening.
Your character is moving because you have equipped a personality. It annoyed me 2 cuz I couldn't scry in peace and realized the personality makes my characters "Idle" standing more unique which effects scrying cuz you char is apparently scrying in "Idle" mode which I assume is bugged?
Thanks i played blind and took 3 days to get to lv9 but 9 to 10 took more 2 days. It's funny i'm level10 and learned nothing but made about 100k a day selling vendor trash. Thank for the info that leads expire in 30 days . :)
If I was still on my 970cp xbox account I wouldn't bother unless I was REALLLLLY bored someday. On pc however since I haven't done all the zones and all the caldwell's and psijic etc etc... I guess it wont be so bad. By the time my pc account catches up to my xbox acco uh not I'll probably have 1 or two I hope
I was one of those who thought the VMA change was a poke in the eye to all those who farmed that rng hell on veteran, oh well what ever. As for this new grindy hell, I make zos a deal , when I log onto cyrodiil and find I can swap bars and actually use my abilities then I might go buy the new content and farm the new items , I may even look at doing a new up to date build too . But at this moment it's so broken that adding these new items is pointless...
Those 5 squares you placed at the start of excavation was useless and a waste of your moves, each square you place tells you where the item is likely located with in the outer perimiters, you shouldn't have needed to place 4 red squares
'and archaeology was stolen from (a game)' - BS. Archaeology was 'stolen' from no game - it was implemented at some point to make them more entertaining. Sure, there are people who prefer something else than flying around the world, discovering collectibles - which is good, because there will be others to listen to when they do Lore videos. 12:24 - given that all this system requires one to have many skill points, it will be a must to go through as many zones - vanilla and DLC alike - to max it out. Again, not for the lazy one - and certainly rewarding for completionists
Why does zoe think this system is a good idea? How about instead they make something actually fun that gives the rewards. This is a game people play for fun after all.
As a pvp player, is a shit patch. I hope new world will come on console. It puts you to farm skill points, second it will not be a casual game anymore, i heard ppl dig or wtf they do to get leads for hours, grinding all over.... ok the nice part zos force u to buy eso+ or buy the specific content to get ur stupid myt that can help u do dmg. Now ppl dont have so many ideas, but at some point they will, and for someone who is casual player via pve\pvp they will get rekt because the competition, they will just have insane dmg, sustain and the game will become more unbalanced that is currently now. Ty for ur vd n fk the new shit patch
This video is pretty much completely useless. He didn't explain anything that explained anything First off how the hell is a player ever supposed to know where the beginning of this is? Players aren't even told a skill tree is involved nevermind anything else. Next the terminology was never gone over for example what is the definition of scrying. What is a lead? Why is there no actual item called lead in your inventory? You need treasure maps and surveys in your inventory in order to have the treasure show up. Leads are being passed off as a treasure map or survey. I was totally lost when he started with the puzzles he just went right into it without going over how to read the screen and what anyone is looking at. How is anyone supposed to know if the puzzles sections are right or wrong? The Part with the shovel, brush and whatever else was on that screen was a complete cluster fuck. There is no introduction to anything in this the charges and lines running out what the hell is that. He doesn't even explain how to use the screens.
This sucks. Especially since leads expire. My dwarven wolf mojnt leads from dungeons will be gone by time im rdy for them. Especially since last of is is about to drop. No way in hell ESO takes priority over that. Certaintly not this chapter thats for sure. Funny that they wste time on this instead of adding new class skills every chapter release or something. Such a waste of 2 skill lines that serve no purpose cept chest visibility one.
As a new player, the info you provided in this vid is absolutely essential. I really appreciate you taking the time to make this.
The only video that gives you all the knowledge to actually use the ring instead of just locations
He didn't give any information that matters.

You can grind it really really fast on the psyjic island
Got 2 vMA bows and the inferno staff the first week lol
@@oSTYNCLSYoBy scrying? No kidding. I cant make it though vMA not good enough yet.
All these skill points I'm gonna have to farm
I’m hoping that this skill align allows for skill points to be gained if not this is going to be very difficult or maybe I’m gonna have to go back and redo my skill points see what I can give up
I tried farming the same green/blue antiquity in Artaeum and i found it to be the fastest place to level up the skills. Thanks for the tip Alcast!
How do you get the lead to be able to look and dig for it
@@d21cpg killing bosses, from quests, farming and many other ways. A lot of ways to get them.
The shitty thing about Psijic was that you had to do it on every character. Looks like you’ll only need to grind this on one character.
Thanks for this video! I had no clue about how to do this . Will be something fun to do.
11:07 Alcast said what we were all thinking.
Alcast I actually love you man this took me an hour to get then i realised i was running the wrong direction from the orb everytime!!!! smh smh but thanks man this helped so much.

These antiquities looks like a full-time job :D but i like it i cant wait start doing it, once again Mr. Alcast thank you for sharing the knowledge.
This system seems like the best thing they have ever added to this game and I really can't wait to try it
You mist be very fun at parties.. and by fun I mean very boring, just like this boring grind
you're trolling right?
I totally agree. When I was 5 I played Zelda on Gameboy for the first time and now many years later I am 32 and still love the adventuring/treasure hunting part of games.

I didnt have greymore ealier n i got a gold lead thingy. I have now bought it n will be grinding for these mythics
First video that mentions you can slot the damn thing, if I only knew about it before I lost my mind
I only have one scyable item in the whole map. I've been grinding that but I have not found a single lead for any zone... How I get more leads?
You should automatically have 1 green item in each zone. You can only scry items in the zone you are in.
@ this does not count for me
Thank you; Great guide.
Thanks, man! :-)
Very nice video!
Thank you, Alcast. That was helpful. Honestly. I may not be interested in this rather juvenile mini-game or in yet another expansion given the state of Cyrodiil but many people certainly will. And in just a few months we'll know if the servers will improve enough to continue with this game. By then this expansion will be heavily discounted anyway.
This gonna be fun af. Also not farming my vMA again until I get my thrassian stragglers!
If I get a lead with an alt char, does it transfer to my crafter? My crafter is the one with most skillpoints and currently leveling scrying with it.
This is very useful, thanks 😊
How is this useful? No one knows what anything on any screen means or how to read it.
Eres el mejor Alcast !
Thanks!
Always running out of time trying to dig up the 5 pieces for the Ring of the Pale Order. Any suggestions??
Thanks.
Thanks 4 help
You are the best on utube bro thanks so much😃

good work alcast :)
Do you need the skill line to be 10 to be able to get the gold leads to then grind for the mythics?
Am I going to have to grind more skill points for these boring passives?
No. You dont have to grind for anything you dont want.
I like how he does the Nord accent when in Skyrim.
so can you keep scrying the same item over and over? like could i scry that purple one and keep excavating it for the 5k gold?
What the hell does Scrying even mean?
Are the mythics bind on pickup? Or can you buy and sell them?
no way they're not bound. on the flip side, you can turn your yt pvp channel into roleplay one for 1 month until you get your first mythic xD
11:38 it says bin on pickup with greymoor we gonna make farming videos 😂😂
@@DragooX lol rip, luckily I'm only really interested in the boots now that thrassian got nerfed
Its probably too much to ask but once I've got max level can i buy the lines on the crown store like mages guild etc? Im fine with grinding it but not on multiple characters.
You only need it on one character
Dont ever support that predatory store under any circumstances. If its in store it doesnt exist. Thats mentality everyone should have. Youre hurting the whole playerbase.
How long does it take to get 1 mythic? Or all of them?
Don't know if they've changed it or not but I've been getting purple and some gold leads and I don't even have greymoor yet. was planning on getting it at some point guess will have to do it in next 30 days then if i don't want the leads to expire :/ anyway thanks for the guide helped make things a bit clearer
P. S one of the gold leads I got was from a nirnroot another one was from some rubedite ore, so check everything lol
Its not mistake. Theyre trying to entice you to buy greymoor. This is def most underwheming chapter yet.
Assuming you want to use the same mythic item on more than one toon, can you acquire it multiple times per toon? Or would you need to go through the whole search and leveling on a second toon?
i saw someone say its account wide, looks like you'll have to bank it?
@@animalcrossing7475 not what I'm referring too. I mean if you want 2 of the same mythic item, can one toon farm it twice or do you need to do the antiquities quest on a second toon.
@@Akrotiriken From my understanding, purple + up leads are only scryable once and leads only appear once per item, so you'd have to hop on another toon
Im excited for this not gonna lie
How do you level up the two skill-lines in the first place? Any idea how long it takes?
you level them by doing the activities and his guide says 5 hours as long as you got the skill points
I got to level 4 in a couple hours. But ran out of Skill points to level up Antiquities insight
How do I see the leads I already have? I'm not sure what leads I need or don't need?
Is this stuff bound on pickup or can I sell it in guild stores?
It is bound.
Welcome ladies and gentlemen
Are the rewards worth it?
Do you need any dlc for this?
So can you only get 1 purple lead per zone per character?
Can I use different characters to get leads for the master items?
im not getting a new purple lead when I complete the green and blue
You never answered your own question in this video... how do you get the mythic items?
Is the Sticky Integument Leather in psijic portal or rifts
I got it from a psijic portal on Summerset
Are there enough skill points to 'complete' a char with these new skill lines?
Yes, but it'll take some work to get that many
I got gold leads from battleground rewards that i did before patch and just opened after patch when i even didnt have greymore at that time of opening.
Same
What outfit is that or is that a costume?
Your character is moving because you have equipped a personality. It annoyed me 2 cuz I couldn't scry in peace and realized the personality makes my characters "Idle" standing more unique which effects scrying cuz you char is apparently scrying in "Idle" mode which I assume is bugged?
Plz help i have all 5 pieces of snow treaders and idk what to do next
Jesus this grind man lol
Thank you for vedio ❤️❤️. Who is zos?
ZeniMax Online Studios. They make the game.
Thanks i played blind and took 3 days to get to lv9 but 9 to 10 took more 2 days. It's funny i'm level10 and learned nothing but made about 100k a day selling vendor trash. Thank for the info that leads expire in 30 days . :)
We need to have Greymor for mythic items?
yeah i think so. Thats fucked up what the heck pay wall xD
I'll try it too in pts, patience need a pool full of patience...
I cant find any purple leads for about 5 days. Ridiculous. It takes far too long to level up.
No combining of mythics?
I have done elden hollow like 10 times today and i havent found the lead for the ring of the hunt what is going on.
dont' give up, others could take longer, it varies
Wonder if there's anything we should be farming for now before the DLC
Skill points
Oh and transmute stones
if i fucked up how can i do it again , im reffering to digging it
I can't seem to find a way to quick slot it on console
Collections>tools>assign
I just logged into new patch and opened a chest and got a purple lead with it not even unlocked so u know
What yhe hell does the word scry mean?
Why is no one providing the definitions of these words
but are the parts tradeable?!
honestly, I just only watch Alcast videos anymore for that sexy voice
I looked up FarCry5 and this popped up
6:21
i just thought we were getting skyrim holy shit
Your video failed to tell us where you got the heavy shovel or trowel.
Level up use the skill points to get the passives in Excavating
If I was still on my 970cp xbox account I wouldn't bother unless I was REALLLLLY bored someday. On pc however since I haven't done all the zones and all the caldwell's and psijic etc etc... I guess it wont be so bad. By the time my pc account catches up to my xbox acco uh not I'll probably have 1 or two I hope

But at this moment it's so broken that adding these new items is pointless...
Is the lead account wide?
yes
I got gold leads before i even got greymoor dlc
Anyone else having trouble getting leads to drop as a tank
I got gold leads in craglorn and I was lvl 1 so thats not entirely true
And hopefully you won’t have to run vet to get leads because that’s going to be a pain in the. Tookus
Those 5 squares you placed at the start of excavation was useless and a waste of your moves, each square you place tells you where the item is likely located with in the outer perimiters, you shouldn't have needed to place 4 red squares

Naaa I’m not going to start farming all this and next moth bamm get nerft lmo
Is this on consoles yet?
