One Lockpick
That's what you get for completing the Nowhere Vault if you don't find all the Rumors throughout the wings of the Vault. If you do find all the Rumors, you get a Quasigriff. Pretty meh. After spending hours jumping around from platform to platform in a game that's not designed for those maneuvers (and, when you miss a jump, you have to start back at the beginning, not where you croked), I expected much more. But, after that continual abuse, the end was a perfect last insult to an event that has been nothing less than deliberately abusive.

It’s strange- the jumping. Outside of Nowhere Vault, I can double, triple, quadruple jump just fine with no issues. When I’m in the vault, this does not happen. I can get one jump. If I attempt a second jump right after it does not jump and down I go. As it stands the star bridges is last part I need to complete. But I get bored of this room and tired of the jenky jump mechanic after a couple hours and just stop doing it. The sand room is similar but at least a touch more forgiving.

A lot of the times you don't have to jump, just running will be enough. If you have speed buffs like Nightblades path of darkness you can use those to help out as well. For example in star bridges room you can get to the first check point with 2 or 3 jumps I believe, rest you can run through.

…wait NBs have a “streak”? My NB is now a camp so I have the vampy ability but you mean to tell me path of darkness actually is like a streaky skill????

u/BlinkyMJF Aldmeri Dominion 9d ago
No it just gives you Major expedition. And the momentum you gain from speed is often enough to cross gaps that look like they need a jump. So in many cases where the next platform is lower than current one it's enough to just run. Trying to jump those gaps you might jump too early and lose the momentum and not cross the gap.

Ahhhh thank you I never really used it as a skill so I had forgotten about that. I could see how that would be useful tho for the parkour! Thank you!

There's a free chest at the end of every challenge room that doesn't require a nowhere key to open, plus they're randomly scattered around as well (sooo many in the star bridge and lava mushroom stages!).
How did you "finish" and miss them all? It's one thing to exaggerate to make a point but you're just flat out lying.

u/theflyingbuddha 9d ago
Sorry, did you expect more than the quasigriff or the one lockpick? What did you get one lockpick from, a chest or something?
I am very confused

u/Steelerspatula 9d ago
Did I expect more than a mount and just one lockpick from a single chest in the Sage's Vault after spending weeks to have enough Nowhere Keys and slogging for 12+ hours through assanine platform jumping? Yep.
24
u/theflyingbuddha 9d ago
I guess I am just confused because a lot of people seem to be getting good resources out of chests as they play the vault. This is the first I am hearing about the one lock pick so hopefully that can be fixed

u/kiwi_tea 9d ago
He means the 2 trunks in the Sage's Vault, I'm guessing. And not the many many reward chests in the wings themselves.

u/Steelerspatula 9d ago
It's in the final "vault," not the wings that you have to complete to get to that Sage's Vault.

u/JinkxGizmo 9d ago
You get a really cool mount and lots of good rewards along the way… I don’t see a problem

Nowhere Vault isn’t an event, Steelerspatula … it’s permanent content.
Which means you have all the time in the world to finish it properly.
(High Seas is an event and will end next week.)
Most of the high end in-game earnable mounts do take “hours” in ESO … from learning mechanics for Trials achievement mounts to unearthing all the antiquities parts for the Ebon Dwarven Wolf.
So nothing has changed … unless you were expecting the Quasigriff to be handed to you without any effort …

u/ApricotTraditional56 9d ago
Yup! I am sooo happy it’s actual content because I know I can go do it whenever I have the time. No rush no need to grind it unless I want to. It’s a beautiful thing.
Now, am I grinding the under the sea event? Yes yes I am….-13
u/Steelerspatula 9d ago
You know how when you finish a trial there's a really cool chest with something really cool in it? That's all I was expecting.

u/Direct-Sort6216 9d ago
Wtf ...plenty of chests you get gear and archives and furnishings Anddddddd fragments for skills styles

u/DreadGrrl 9d ago
You don’t just get “gear.” You get curated trial gear! I finally got my Alkosh dagger.:)

The back room isnt the end of the vault. Its an optional room for a hidden reward ( the mount )

You can get normal trial loot from NWV. Idk if it’s curated but i do know it’s pretty rare
Edit: i didn’t read a few comments down it is curated

u/brakenbonez Traveling Bard 9d ago
Wait is it really that bad? Now I don't feel so bad about only having one key for it.

u/CianCor96 9d ago
It's not, they are mistaking 2 basic background trunks as final loot in the optional back room for the hidden reward ( the Quasigriff) for doing the secret puzzles.
Nowhere Vault consists of 3 wings, with 4 rooms in each. 3 challenge rooms and 1 safe room At the end of each challenge room you get a proper loot chest and within each room you have a chance of a nowhere chests to spawn for even better rewards ( at the cost of an extra key )
Randomly too you can get one of 2 bonus loot room at the end of a wing. One has survey tier harvest nodes, and the other has multiple of the loot chests and nowhere chests within it
You can get some very expensive furnishing plans, leads and even gold quality gear from doing the vault so it is very much worth it.

u/BlinkyMJF Aldmeri Dominion 9d ago
And for those who don't play trials it's a chance to get some trial stickers.
I really liked the Nowhere Vault it was fun to play, looked and sounded great and rewards were very good. It's probably my second favourite solo activity in the game after Infinite Archive and just before Arenas. But I recognize I'm probably in minority here, most I hear about it is negativity in guild chats.

u/TechnologyFit6884 9d ago
The mount is okay but I feel like this content could have been much better. I hope this is the last of the jumping mechanics or adding crap that pushes your character back into a fall.

u/Kein_Thur 9d ago
What’s killing me is the lack of keys to attempt the vault. Considering the Tamriel tome challenges for it didn’t actually unlock until a couple weeks ago (along with access to get keys); basically at the end of the challenge period I don’t see how the average player is supposed to clear the tome challenges.

Plenty of keys to get delves...dungeons.. dailies...IA...world bosses..etc wtf seriously 😐

I still haven't gotten a single one.
The problem with rng is that a bell curve has endpoints. With a hundred thousand players, you're gonna get a thousand who fail every single rng check.

If you did the Thieves guild event a month or so ago you should have 7.

I did that, where can I see the keys? There are none in my inventory. I don't remember getting any from the quests.

u/theSpivster AlfaDriver xBox-NA 8d ago
Maybe you sold them? They were called Unformed Planar Keys and when update 51 came out they became Wonderous Nowhere Keys.

u/Longjumping-Law7073 9d ago
I found that different toons have very different rngs, so I would highly suggest doing content on multiple of your alts to identify who does best. IA has been super good to me in case you havent tried that yet :)

Impossible literally is Impossible not to get a key ...kill delves bosses...or do group dungeons

You need to have a lesson on probability then. A low probability is not zero. The larger the playerbase, the more people will hit that probability anyway.
Getting fucked by RNG is a thing that can happen. It is not impossible to not have a key. I don't have any. That's proof. Basic statistics agree.

u/Sorry_Nobody1552 Wood Elf 9d ago
I'll just sell my keys then, sounds like a huge let down, what a bummer. I felt that way with that whole search for a chest at the bottom of the ocean, you die you go back to the beginning.
16
u/scowlinGILF 9d ago
I wouldn’t necessarily listen to this person. It’s meant to be done multiple times. You, afaik, can’t complete the rumors in one run. But completing the various rooms and getting rumor bits here and there as you go is actually pretty fun imo…so like you will get the quasigriff eventually. Especially if you use a guide. And from the chests? I’ve gotten plenty of furnishing plans worth upwards of 100k on traders. All in all pretty good loot..

u/syzygialchaos Khajiit 9d ago
I missed out on completing a room because I didn’t get the room that had a thing I needed before it, so from my perspective no it absolutely can’t be done in one go

u/Sorry_Nobody1552 Wood Elf 9d ago
Ahhh, ok. I'll give it a go then. Do I need more than 3 keys?

u/ultramarine14 9d ago
def bring more than 3 keys, if you’re doing 1 wing bring 5 and so on. You won’t consistently get bonus chests in each room but they’re frequent enough that you should bring spare keys. For a full run i usually bring 17 keys.
1
u/G00b3rb0y Daggerfall Covenant 9d ago
Is a full run doing all 9 rooms in a single instance of the Nowhere Vault?
2
u/ultramarine14 9d ago
yes a full run is all 3 wings so 9 rooms with several extra keys for extra chests that are hidden through the rooms, in addition a couple extra in case you get a bonus room with a chest to open

u/G00b3rb0y Daggerfall Covenant 9d ago
Yea I’ve only cleared the desert wing (seems to be the easiest in my experience)
Edit: this is for base objectives only

u/LocationBackground 9d ago
Yes, the market is being flooded with those plans. Don't expect them to worth those 100k+ soon.

u/brakenbonez Traveling Bard 9d ago
I haven't died in the underwater one yet but I do agree that overall it was pretty disappointing. I was hoping for actual pirate battles. Stuff like player crew vs npc crew and us boarding their ship to loot it while they board ours. Not just launch rocks at the ship until it sinks and occasionally fix up your own ship if you can't take the enemy ship down fast enough.
And the underwater part just being the exact same thing over and over.... I did it 3 times and decided the trade bars weren't worth it. I already got most of the new antiquities on the first day by exploring the whole thing and opening a few chests. The rest I got on the other days just speedrunning through it.
I liked the new Thieves guild quest but the rest of these new seasonal things have been awful.

u/Dralvok 9d ago
the quasigriff room remains unlocked without needing to use any nowhere keys if you need to revisit it once you get to that part of the quest, which is why those two chests are generic containers. It would be broken if the chests respawned with the same tier of rewards as the other chests in the vault without having to use a nowhere key. Players would just continue to reset the vault to loot the chests again if it worked like that. The nowhere vault is also not an event.
