    RNG is such a weird duck in this game, like I farmed and farmed for a BSW inferno pre-stickerbook, ended up getting two within like 5 runs when it eventually dropped. Have got another 3 since, including one that I gave to a rando in a pug who was like "Wish I could have gotten that :(" when I linked it to see if anyone wanted it - didn't realise they might have thought I was flexing hahaha.

    (Yes, I know I could have charged them gold for it, but ehhhhhh. Unless it's a bunch of people who all want it I'm just gonna give it to the person.)

    I've never had one of those Resplendent Sweetrolls drop from a Crown Crate. And I've bought more than my fair share over the years......never ever had the Sweetroll drop.

    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.

    For the longest time the spiked collar and fleshy mass were bugged. So, there's a certain part of this you're not wrong about.

    pFG inferno and Rings
    BSW inferno
    pSiroria Dagger
    pRO Ring
    (tbh, besides pFG, I grind those Tirals/dungeons to little to have them)

    Polymorphs:
    vAS+2 poly (did so many runs last patch, one guild mate of me dropped 3 in a row, I have non)
    Xivkyn tormentor (got the other 2 within 60 boxes, now I'm over 150 and still don't have it)

    Trophys:
    Shimmering Alit Bezoar
    Bile Gilt
    Ogre Toe Ring
    Brass Anklets
    Glowing Remnant

    And a lot of books for Eidetic Memory (cures those bugged books).

    Gave up the grind for most of these, not worth to stress too much over those things.

    I could name a lot of items but Aetherial Dust has only popped one time for me in all my years farming Tamriel.

    my rarest items are due to a bug;
    Lord Warden Dusk's Guise (light) cp160, Rarity grade white (normal)
    and
    Restoration Staff of the Red Mountain, Level 50, rarity white (normal) dropped from worldboss on a cp 160 character.

    They may be worthless, but I just keep them in my bank to remind myself that this game is just one buggy mess :)

    Gotta admit. I can't complain about the crates. Today I got this mechanical wolf mount - the 5 card had a blue glow I had not seen before so I guess it's rare.

    That is my favourite mount in the game. I was lucky enough to get it when dwarven crates were first released. My main rides it ever since.

    In addition to all the monster trophies, the perfected Siroria fire stick. I have all the staves except that one and it kills me. If it even drops it drops to someone who keeps it.

    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.

    IDK if I'd even bother farming those specifically. For the past year or so I've taken 3+ toons on a quick lockbox run in Vvardenfell every day after their writs and found exactly one of the triptychs. I think they're for sale in the crown store for much, much cheaper, unless the ones from the lockboxes are different.

    I haven't tried farming it, but I reallllllllly want the Sixth House Banner from Forgotten Wastes. May take a character in there with a 150% XP boost and farm mobs while listening to a podcast...

    Apparently the best place to farm these are Bonesnap ruins. There are a few blue ones (benches, I think) and 3 very rare purples - two bookcases and a brazier.

    I did a handful of Bonesnap runs with no luck, but TBH I don't really feel like wasting much time on these as they're not very good-looking, and I'd struggle to find any use for them even if I did get them. I mean, why would I want to turn any of my houses to look like like every third delve in the game?

    skooma bubbler recipe. I've gotten so many bubblers at this point I probably don't even NEED the recipe anymore, but I still want it and I don't want to buy it, cause stubborn.

    and a bunch of monster trophies.

    Medusa Fire Inferno staff is proving to be difficult to farm, the last staves I got were all resto staves so it might take a while..

    Farming is pretty quick since Ive found out that I can Streak over the draw bridge in Arx on my magsorc so I only have to kill 1 boss, enemies near chests and the final boss.

    SPC frost staff.
    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.

    That was generous. I ask before we get started, but I know it's rare so I've gotten used to disappointment. If I'm lucky, maybe I'll stumble into a random WGT with you one day.

    I'm seeing a lot of frost staves listed... is this for tanking?

    Even before the update to FSs the taunt was avoidable and I want it for my healer's back bar. I do use a FS for my tanks back bar, with taunt.

    DKS has a bow, and I have it in collections so I've gotten it since Markarth. Sorry about your luck there.
    VIpers Sting does not have a bow, as the 5th piece bonus is only activated by a melee attack. So that one you won't be able to get no matter how much farming you do.

    there maybe an old Bind on Equip bow out there from years ago before they made that change..though I imagine you would pay millions for it as it is rare af now

    Farming is pretty quick since Ive found out that I can Streak over the draw bridge in Arx on my magsorc so I only have to kill 1 boss, enemies near chests and the final boss.

    There are chest spawns next to all of the bosses in Arx. Don't miss out on them. I was recently farming the inferno staff and my partner has the glow from Antiquities (very useful and you should use it if you can). We found a lot more chest spawns than we had originally thought.
    Also always check the tower at the end after the last boss and the area in front of the ruined tower at the entrance, lot of chest spawns there too.
