Zeni + randomness = 0 (zero)??

AreoHotah

Decided to try out a drop-able only set today called the ''The Air''. Since i'm a Dual Wield full medium armor NB i said ''Why not?''. As soon as i put it on i fell in love

Now imo that is the best looking style out of ANY craftable medium one.
But then i tried to find pieces of items of different traits and i can't even say how disappointed i was when i found out that the traits are the same on each item. For example i wanted boots with divines but they only drop with infused. WHY was that a good idea?? Why can't they be random, any trait on any item??

Now i'm stuck with this AMAZING looking set but completely ''wrong'' traits

Please Zeni add more randomness to dropable sets, please.

The dropped sets all have the enchantments and traits pre-set. There is no randomness to them. The justification for this is that those items were created by a particular NPC or group who wanted them that specific way. You're not going to find one with a different trait, because that's not what the creator wanted.

yea random traits would up the price on some versions of the set and make them more viable. It would be preferable, some of the sets I've worn have had traits like well-fitted

Yes i agree they should all keep the same style and lvl but the trait? More choices are better no?

More choices may be better for us, but think about it this way: you're doing your own crafting, and you want everything to be infused and have a magicka enchantment, so that's how you make all of the pieces you craft, because that's what's important to you. You don't care if that's what some other guy wants. It's the same with the dropped set pieces, only an NPC was the crafter, and you're some other guy who the crafter doesn't care about.

its a nice set but the ugly tail and inferior race totally ruins it.

get back into your rags you peasant

also I wanted to add: put in game drops that "skin" armor...like a style template...

that would give us the ability to put looks on different gear sets with other values.

I'm sorry but it still doesn't make sense. If so then it should only be 1 (only one) set in the entire game and only one person can use it no? Did that NPC had a mass producing factory set to craft only with those traits???

It's an MMO. Things that should be unique aren't. There's no such thing as anything in an MMO where there's actually only 1. So yeah, for most of these sets there is only 1 set (Akaviri would be an example of a set that there would likely be multiples of, as they were made for the Akaviri guard - but they would still be uniform in their properties), but due to the way MMOs work, there are multiples of them in the game anyway.

If you want a set crafted a certain way, then make it that way yourself. Or hire a Crafter to do so. Things that are given to you in the game you just have to accept at face value and determine if they will work for you the way that they are.

I have gotten multiple pieces of a dropped set. You just have to go through that dungeon or area a few times. What I have never had at one time is a complete dropped set, I don't have enough room in my inventory to keep anything around.

that's silly, as was said there are multiple of the same sets, which, if you insist on it having an IC explanation (which I highly doubt is why it is that way,) it has clearly been crafted and sold by a crafting merchant to these bandits and such. (also, it can drop from animals, even ones too small to eat armor, so there's that.) Therefore, different people would want it to have different traits.

Relax, it's all for naught and meant to be.

As I've already pointed out, there are multiples of the same sets because it's an MMO. There are multiples of everything.

which I responded to by mentioning that it's not implemented like that for rpz. Therefore, it is an invalid argument.
