Preserved Music Box Mechanism. I decided I didn't want it that much.

That Sixth House banner that, legends say, drops as random loot in the Forgotten Wastes public dungeon.

Farmed that place so much! Ended up buying the last 2 pieces I needed.....

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.

Been here on beta then bought the game 1/1/15.... I've never seen it either....

I think you are talking about the Sixth House Robe. Sixth House Banner is not made of pieces. It's a single piece of furniture, rare to the point of being a legend.

I did dailies during the Vvardenfell Event and got one of the Shard of Moonshadows from a rewards coffer. They do drop, but the dailies are such a bore that I wasn't willing to grind them any longer!

As far as the Khajiit Brazier, Enchanted is concerned, I farmed it for weeks and finally gave up, but I did manage to snag on on a guild trader for 1.8m. Now I just need to track down the Daedric Fence, Section plan.

I got mine from the corpse of a named daedra at an Alik'r dolmen.

AuroranGoldenEagle · May 2023

The Dwemer Star Chart lead. Have gotten almost all other furnishing leads, usually within minutes of looking. For some reason, this dumb, cool, dumb lead refuses to drop, even after hours and hours of looking over many weeks.

Word is that the plan can drop from ANY Daedric enemy. I've closed countless dolmens, farmed Coldharbour and the Imperial City/Sewers. I've farmed Daedric ruins. I have pulled boatloads of every Daedric furnishing plan, but that silly fence has eluded me!

Agreed, I've killed hundreds of thousands of daedra myself before getting it to drop. However, loot pools are often weighted toward certain sub categories and locations. It would be interesting to see an anecdotal player generated list of the type of daedra that has dropped it, and see if any patterns can be discerned.

This one takes a fair bit of grinding:

Radiant Apex drop chances could also use a buff.

Damn, only 1.8M o.O Which plattform do you play on? its about 45M on PC-EU atm. Only 1 plan missing?

To be fair, I made twice that during the last event. At least it's a constant, definable grind.... unlike these RNG unicorns that one can farm for years and never see.

I've gotten one out of a Jubilee box last year but in my 8+ years of playing I've never had one drop "in the wild". Ultra rare.

Have also never had an Ayleid plan drop.

That was on Xbox/NA. I'm currently missing about a dozen total plans, with one of the purple Ayleid bookcases and the Daedric Fence, Section being the notable ones still needed.

The fact that this fragment can be purchased with Tel Var makes the grind much more tolerable in my opinion. I know that I'm getting close to the goal as opposed to killing Daedra or enemies in Ayleid ruins for 100+ hours and not ever seeing the furnishing plan that you need drop. That being said, I did manage to snag the Thesis fragment for 3.8 mil on Xbox/NA, so my primary crafter does know the 50/100/150 Colovian War Torte recipes!

Czeri · June 2023

I've made my peace with the fact that I'll never get the ayleid bookcases or brazier, or the khajit brazier plan. Fortunately the actual furnishings aren't particulalry appealing.

ElderOfTamriel · August 2023

To be honest, i think this one is the rarest item existing in ESO by far. Only 2 people have found it to this day, that one is for sale rn on PC-EU. I believe its even rarer than the Morrowind Banner.

I saw the Thesis for sale at 165m on PC/NA. I mentioned it in guild chat and one of my guildies had already bought it and flipped it for 300m.

1b seems pretty high, but there are plenty of folks with that much spare gold collecting dust. Crazy what ZOS is doing to the game economy.

dcrush · August 2023

Not an item, but what eludes me in the game is cc immunity.

Blood_again · August 2023

For me it was vMA bow before curated drops. 80+ arena runs without any single bow of any trait. Eventually got two in one run during the Orsinium double drop event. Then got one more as a weekly reward at the end of the week.

Another one was Scaly Durzog Hide (trophy for achievement). I knew where to get it and have been trying for two months daily (at least an hour a day) with no result. Finally I got it in another place. Then I got it soon with an alt character in the same cave I farmed it with my main for months.
It took more time than Infallible Aether lightning staff farm.

Peppo_Lives · August 2023

imho, those two items (the furnishing and the yellow bg item) literally scream of RMT

it's just a matter of time that we'll see them advertised on some infamous sites that sell game items for real money -.-'

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?

The dwarven construct repair parts are a guaranteed item in the coffer (so once weekly per character) from Halls of Fabrication.

Our raid team helps eachother get theirs. We all kinda pool so they can get ir. No charge of course.

The trick is that by the time you've found it, you've spent so much time in Cyro that you don't need it any more.

Virtually no one eats a 30 minute food that costs millions of gold per serving (including the cost of the recipe, 400,000+ gold per serving if you buy it from someone else on PC/NA). The only reason it is desirable is for completionists who must learn every recipe in the game.

cyclonus11 · August 2023

Font of Auri-El. That lead still hasn't dropped despite many hours of farming for it.
