    Several of the damn creature "trophies" for the trophies achievments. I've played for a long time,done Cadwell's gold and soon all dlc content on my main, I even try farm specific ones every once in a while, and I'm still missing a bunch!

    It's ridiculous the dyes you are rewarded for these achievments count as "common".

    I have been complaining about this for multiple years. They dont care. I gave up getting them and they along with a small amount of pvp rank dyes are all I need.

    Its really cool they made them so hard to get. I would hate to have all the common dyes so easily. /jokes....

    They arent really that hard to get but you do need to focus them to finish them. I did the entire thing under the trophies achievements in 3 weeks to a month farming 1-2 hours a day most days. I think I had one or two at the beginining.

    Was it a grind? Sure but most of them dropped within an hour of farming whatever it was that drops them.
    I had a couple that too a couple of days to get because RNG was being stubborn but compared to most achievements, getting all trophy achievements in a month is that bad.

    For the longest time I thought kwarma drops were bugged. It finally dropped by random chance once I wasn't farming them. I still need 3 dreadra, half the beasts, and every undead besides skeletons. I keep a mental list and kill all I come across when I'm doing other stuff. Still at it.

    It becomes even more annoying that during this event I have gotten several of the Mulifaceted Eye from the Chitin Collection. One I've had for a long time. Which are not the only ones. There are a couple of trophies I get over and over while the rest are nowhere in sight. They don't even seem to have the same drop chance.

    Guardung. I've farmed, and farmed, and farmed and they still elude me. Some of them are very hard to get.

    This. I was literally looking at these achievements last night. The fact that I still have so many of them uncollected despite having done so much content and farming kind of infuriates me a bit haha.

    Had at least two drop because it’s in my sticker book. Got a whisper if I would sell it and said “take it, I already got one” they were shocked and grateful because I guess they had been farming it for months.

    Oh, and: Worm Cult motifs. From what I've read online, we'll only ever get another chance at them in Anniversary events, yet it's one of three styles randomly included in the Crafting achievement bar, preventing me from the one bar I might otherwise completely fill.

    I was so pleased when the Trunk dropped for me. I'm not even sure where I got it, noticed it a day or two after I got it.

    Mother's sorrow inferno staff. I have two of them, but neither one dropped for me. I got them from other people. Hundreds of hours in that dungeon, one has never dropped for me.

    The one I found dropped from a chest in a delve. And now that I have one, I can just use the sticker book to make another if I need it.

    Atheric Cipher. I don't really need it, since I'm drowning in the free xp Scrolls, but damn if I'm not annoyed that it's never dropped in 3 years of playing.

    I've played since Beta and I've never had one drop.

    I've just started filling an art gallery floor in my house, and started looking for the Velothi Triptychs (Vvardenfell safeboxes) and Panels(Vv chests)...I'm reading online that the drop rate is criminal. I've only worked the zone a few times so far, but expect it may be months before I score one, let alone all three.

    Yes, these plus the spool of red thread.

    I just can’t stomach the amount of farming required for these.

    I’ve only found one Telvanni Painting, and those are supposed to be fairly common now.

    Had one for sale recently, no one was interested. I think I priced it at 15k or so. RNG also applies with selling stuff.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    There are a number of items in the game that are rare. Some of those are rare by design, eg. aetheric cipher. Others are seemingly rare through an error (like the Khajit Brazier, Enchanted praxis). And then there are items that, while not common, don't sound like they should be all that elusive, but you just never get one.

    For me an example of that last category are dwarven construct repair parts. I have never once had one drop for me, despite multiple hours spent in dwarven ruins chasing precursor parts, ebon wolf leads, and the like. If I hadn't seen them in guild stores, I wouldn't have believed they exist.

    How about you?

    Several of the damn creature "trophies" for the trophies achievments. I've played for a long time,done Cadwell's gold and soon all dlc content on my main, I even try farm specific ones every once in a while, and I'm still missing a bunch!

    It's ridiculous the dyes you are rewarded for these achievments count as "common".

    These things are not rare... they are mythological.

    Those stupid wasps and their seemingly nonexistent Gossamer Winglets... I have waged war on many different wasp populations with zero luck. Master Angler was so much easier and quicker than these creature trophy achievements!

    Some other things I haven't found yet in the wild as drops:
    • Aetherial Dust
    • Ayleid plans
    • Vvardenfell paintings (not a single one)
    While I don't really need it, the near mythical BSW Inferno Staff still manages to elude me as well.
