Infinite archive class style pages

MickeyBN · February 5

I noticed in the PTR that the merchant now offers class style pages, but in the form of a single RNG page that doesn’t allow you to choose the specific page you’re after.

Please consider changing this to the merchant offering all the seperate pages. There’s literally just the one page I’m wanting to purchase with the currency, and I would much rather spend 50,000 of the currency for the guaranteed page I want, instead of 12,000 to roll the dice each time.

There’s enough RNG in the game, please just let me choose the styles I want.

based on how all of the other archive stuff works, im assuming that the style page is curated, and there are far less of those to collect than the actual weapons/armor (since a chest style page will have all 3 weights)

the biggest problem i think most have seen with those pages is that the styles are also limited to use at the outfit station based on your current class

Seems fine with curation. I feel like we get enough handouts nowadays with curation, sticker book, and a shop you can spend a currency on whatever you want.

There has to be a reason to grind the thing, but the grind is much less forgiving than alternatives in the past. I still remember the 100s of runs I and many others did to get an Infused Maelstrom Bow.. only for ZOS to release perfected versions making the original feel obsolete years later. That said, not salty because Sticker Book and Curation came a patch or 2 after.

I wish these were tradable instead. Could've been an amazing market.

Is that really the case? Motif pages give you all 3 but I have always seen style pages as one weight per page. For example, craftable Fang Lair "motif" and Scalecaller "motif" from the dungeon are 14 pages each in total, but Fanged Worm "style" and Horned Dragon "style" from Battlegrounds are 32 pages each because things like Robe versus Jerkin versus Cuirass are separate pages. I was assuming that these IA styles would be 32 per class set like Fanged Worm and Horned Dragon, but if they work more like motif pages that would be nice.

i havent been on pts so i cant confirm exactly how they are working, but based on the patch note yesterday they should be curated

The styles are in the collections menu even on live right now. Though they're not class-locked on Live...

Anyway, there are seven pieces of armor for each class (one per slot), and then the standard 10 weapon styles for each class (axe, mace, sword, dagger, greatsword, battleaxe, maul, bow, staff, shield). The weapons all look the same for each class save a class insignia on it, but the armor pieces are all quite different from each other.

The curation is designed that you will get your own class first as drops, and then you will start to drop the other classes (which, unless they change it, will be unusable on that character)
