The Elder Scrolls Online's Night Market event brings excitement and exclusive rewards for players, but earning 10,000 favor to unlock all the collectibles can feel like a daunting task. If you're aiming to snag that coveted glittering gold dye or complete event achievements before the event ends on June 17th, don't worry. In this guide, YouTuber Spopes shares a simple and efficient method to help you reach your favor goal with minimal effort.
Step 1: Get the "Kill Enemies" Night Market Daily Quest
The first step in this process is to grab the "Kill Enemies" daily quest from Dorfifar, an NPC located in the Starlit Plaza. This quest is straightforward and involves defeating enemies in three stages: first 25, then 50, and finally 75 enemies, totaling 150 enemies.
If you’re tackling this quest solo, it might take some time depending on your build. However, there’s a much faster way to complete it with minimal effort, which is doing with a group.
Players with stronger builds and upgraded gear will naturally clear enemies faster, which is why many adventurers stock up on Elder Scrolls Online gold to improve their characters before major events like the Night Market.
Step 2: Use the Group Finder to Join a Night Market Group
Once you've picked up the "Kill Enemies" daily quest from Dorfifar, open the Activity Finder in the game menu and navigate to the Group Finder. From there, select the Event Zone tab and search for active groups participating in the Night Market event.
During peak hours, you’re likely to find several groups listed. If you’re playing during off-peak times, it may take a little longer for a group to appear, but keep refreshing the list—one will eventually pop up. Once you join a group, head to their instance in the event zone.
Step 3: Complete the Quest (Even While AFK)
The beauty of this method is that you don’t have to actively fight enemies to complete the "Kill Enemies" daily quest. As long as you’re in the same instance as your group members, any enemies they defeat will count toward your quest progress.
If you're short on time or your character isn’t optimized for combat, you can simply stand AFK (away from keyboard) in the Starlit Plaza while your group does the work. However, make sure to stay logged in and avoid being inactive for too long to prevent being kicked from the group or disconnected from the server.
It’s important to complete all three stages of the quest before turning it in. While you can technically turn it in after killing just 25 enemies, doing so will yield significantly less favor. Completing all three stages ensures you earn 75 favor points—one of the most rewarding dailies available during the event.
Step 4: Turn In the Quest
Once your "Kill Enemies" daily quest is complete, return to Dorfifar at the Starlit Plaza to turn it in. Sometimes, you may need to briefly exit and re-enter the Night Market zone before Dorfifar will allow you to complete the quest. Simply go through the door leading out of the area and return to resolve this issue.
If it's your first daily quest of the day, you'll also receive a Glorious Night Market Reward Coffer in addition to favor points. This is a great bonus that makes completing this daily even more worthwhile.
Step 5: Repeat on Other Characters
Here’s where this method becomes truly efficient. Once you've completed the initial quest on one character, you can repeat this process on any additional characters you have. Even if those characters have never participated in the Night Market event before, they can still pick up the "Kill Enemies" daily from Dorfifar without any prerequisites.
Simply log into another character, pick up the quest, join a group using Group Finder, and repeat the process. Since no actual combat is required, even low-level or unoptimized characters can complete this daily with ease.
For example:
• If you have 10 characters, you can earn 750 favor per day (75 favor per character).
• Over a week, this amounts to 5,250 favor.
• With just two weeks of consistent effort, you'll surpass 10,000 favor, comfortably unlocking all event rewards before June 17th.
Even if you only have five characters, you can still reach your goal within a month by following this method.
Additional Tips for Maximizing Favor Gains
While the "Kill Enemies" daily quest is highly efficient, there are other ways to boost your favor gains:
1. Complete Other Dailies
If you're planning to actively participate in the Night Market event, consider picking up additional daily quests. For example:
• Your faction leader offers a unique daily quest that grants significant favor.
• Explore each district of the Night Market for other dailies. These are often simple tasks that can be completed quickly for extra favor rewards.
2. Request Quest Shares
When you're part of a group in Group Finder, don't hesitate to ask other members to share their quests with you. Simply type "daily share please" in the group chat—some players may be willing to share their quests, giving you additional opportunities for favor.
3. Stick with Your Group
Even after completing your "Kill Enemies" daily quest, consider staying with your group. By following them around and participating in their activities, you'll gain more favor through:
• Collecting favor orbs on the ground.
• Completing shared quests.
• Participating in other event activities.
This approach requires more active gameplay but can significantly increase your total favor while allowing you to enjoy more of what the event has to offer.
Addressing Moral Implications of AFK Farming
It's important to acknowledge that passively farming favor by standing AFK while your group does all the work can be seen as unfair or unethical by some players. After all, group members typically expect everyone to contribute when they join forces.
To strike a balance between efficiency and fairness:
• Consider helping out for at least a few minutes if your character is capable of contributing.
• Remember that participating actively with your group often yields additional rewards and fosters goodwill among players.
Ultimately, while this method is highly effective for earning favor quickly, it's worth considering how your actions impact others and striving to be a positive member of the community.
Final Thoughts
Reaching 10,000 favor during The Elder Scrolls Online's Night Market event doesn't have to be an overwhelming challenge. By following this simple method—picking up the "Kill Enemies" daily quest from Dorfifar, joining groups via Group Finder, and repeating the process across multiple characters—you can achieve your goal with minimal effort.
That said, it is highly recommended to strike a balance between efficiency and community spirit by actively participating when possible and respecting fellow players' time and efforts.
