How many days has the Witches Festival ran?

This is the first day that I have gotten a Possessed Shred, what are the odds I would have to ask seeing that I have ran everyday but one.

They're random drops from Dremora Skulls and have only been around for a couple of years. I'd managed to collect 8 or 9 of them across the 2023 and 2024 Witches Festivals and got lucky enough to pick up the last one or two early in this year's festival. Note that I haven't been farming all the Dremora Skulls out there: no Trials, no IA, no Hollowjack, and no Arenas, and was kind of hit-or-miss on Public Dungeons and Plucking the Crow, but a bit more diligent for WBs, so typically only 4 or 5 Dremora Skulls per day. The event runs until 10am ET on 5 November, so however many Dremora Skulls you can collect between now and then could potentially drop the other nine shreds. I wouldn't hold my breath, but RNG played super-nice for me earlier today on some other stuff, so it's possible.

it would have been a more common drop in the gold box the year it was implemented (because that's how they used to do those things). getting a full set now on your own would be unlikely, but you -should- be able to pick the pieces up on traders cheaper than when it was put in. might ask around your guilds and see if there are any stashed in the guild banks. a lot of guilds will (or at least used to) save up old style pages, pet fragments, runeboxes, etc for newer players.

They aren't very common but I've had a few drop this event. I actually bought some real cheap and sold for ~15k each since I have the pet.
