unlucky or just really low chance?

do the orsinium sets' jewelery parts have a lower drop rate than the armor parts? trying to get pariah jewelery and after farming chests and dailies for it 7 hours a day for 5 days i got nothing but a healthy v15 necklace and an arcane v16 necklace (and arcane is the last trait i need.......).......

ZoS, please, either remove BoP from these kind of stuff or just change it from RNG to something more reliable, like doing a certain number of runs to be able to choose your reward.......

Sounds like about what I've experienced. Been farming chests & dailies for a few days now and I have exactly one v15 arcane briarheart necklace to show for it.

This level of RNG would be tolerable if the gear was BoE and we could trade for what we want. Instead I need to farm another few thousand chests and spend weeks running the dailies and I might get a usable set out of the deal.

Switch these sets to BoE ZOS. It will reinvigorate the economy and give your players a chance at getting the sets they want without coming to hate Wrothgar in the process.

I agree there are too many layers of RNG for a BoP set.

As for the original question, they are extremely rare except for players that beat the RNG then they will come tell you that they aren't rare at all.

I'd love it if these sets were changed to BoE but if ZoS must absolutely destroy the hopes and dreams of players with BoP for no good reason at all then the trash traits should be removed and/or remove the v15 gear for v16 toons.

Like I said in your other post, try praying to RNGeezus. Jk/lol

You must be one of those I make jealous when I link my VR16 Robust Briarheart Necklace *evil laugh*

But..... Unfortunately it is the only useful VR16 piece I have for Briarheart after about a week of 80% farming for it. I need one more ring to have all the jewelry (though I'd like to get 2 vr16 rings instead of zero) #PraisebetoyouRNGeezus. Of course the jewelry is the hardest to come by, but honestly I have like twice as much Pariah and Trinimac ( if not more) than I do Briarheart in general. There does need to be some kind of adjustment though. I admit it felt great to get that necklace, but at the same time I am getting to the point where I am concerned about other things in the game and the RNGrind is starting to frustrate me beyond a /zone "seriously....*sigh* [blue vr15 well fitted silk shoes]"

One of the first rewards I got was a Briarheart Ring, but I did not pay attention if it was Stamina or something else. I will have to look and see tonight. Problem is, the character that can use it is still VR13, all my other characters are Magic Based.

The things are so rare I've never even seen one linked in chat, but don't worry I am extremely jealous. Tell you what, I'll buy it off you for... oh wait. Never mind

Honestly I have better luck farming delves and chests in Cyrodil for set pieces than I do in Wrothgar. I only just got Orsinium this past Friday but I already had 5 pieces of Briarheart (2 were even vr16). I have had about 25 pieces of armor 2 rings now, but can not get the damn necklace to drop for me at all. Only one purple set pieces has ever dropped for me and that was vr16 Trinimac hat....and trinimac is the one set I do not want (I main a stam sorc and do either DPS or tank for dungeons). With the amount of chests in Cyrodil delves and the quick respawn time I think it is quicker than farming Wrothgar.

I got a blue Briarheart Necklace yesterday, if that helps your investigation lol and I'd say I've done about a dozen World Boss Dailies now on that character.

MishMash · December 2015

I wish I could remember where I got the v16 Necklace from... it was likely a reward from a boss quest.

Those looking for the v16 Necklace I can say for sure that it was NOT from the arena... it was either a world chest or world boss after turning in my quest.

I did get a v15 Briar ring from a chest so I am certain you can get them from chests. I have been opening so many chests in Wrothgar that I went up almost 4 full levels in Legerdemain, and those that play this game should know that sure is a lot of chests!

I need you all help me with some encouragement because this farming 7+ hrs a day since the DLC came out is starting to bore me. Have you picked up a V16 Briar ring? If so where from? Of course the chances are slim for me to get one in the same place, but it sure would encourage me to keep trying!
