Collectible Achievement Guide (Spoiler Alert)

I got my wraith shackle from Forgotten Crypts around 4-5 months ago, if that helps.

As far as I know you can't get them from ghosts.

Hey there
I only miss the Hand of Glory collectible (from zombies) to complete all those achievements. But after many hours of farming in Vile Laboratory and Tava's Blessing, still no Hand...
Do you know another farming place that I can try? Thx

FINALLY FINISHED all the collectibles achievements. I had 6 trophies missing after playing since 2015 and decided to try and finish them now. Here's where I found the last 6 to confirm where it drops :

Shimmering Alit Bezoar - Alit : Kenarthi's Roost
^^ This was probably the most frustrating one ever to get. I remember attempting it a year or so ago with no success, then again a few months ago, and attempted again a week ago. I was about to abandon it again or submit a bug report but I finally got it after 3 days of farming.

The RNG gods had had their fill of tormenting me it seems because I found all the last 5 today :

Nose Shackle - Ogrim : Coldharbor (Outside Tower of Lies)

Ogre Toe Ring - Ogre : Shinji's Scarp (Stormhaven)

Stony Heart - Gargoyle : Qharroa Ruins (Bangkorai)

Second Skin - Lamia : Lake south of The Moonless Walk (Coldharbor)

Flawless Tail Feather - Harpy : Shrieking Scar (Glenumbra)

A huge thank you to everyone in this thread!

what a horrible grind it is. What was in their mind by putting so low rates?

Cat's Claw - The Rift, north of Treva's Farm

i killed over 3000 cats until it dropped, wiki says it's 0.2% chance. I tried zones with higher chance, but way fewer mobs over a spot. Here i had 7 cats, 4 spots, 1 minute and a half, so 28 cats over an hour is 28*40=1120 cats. I farmed for 3 hours.

Does anyone know a good place for Gargoyles besides qharroa ruins? I can’t seem to run a full circuit in qharroa without having to wait at least 5mins for them to respawn. Any confirmed DLC areas maybe?

@elven.were_wolf

There are Gargoyles in Craglorn between H. R. Citadel / Tombs of the Na-Totambu). That's where I got the stoney heart.

Thank you! I will try running a circuit there.

I just want to thank everyone on this post for all the help and useful information. ❤️

After 7 years of grinding on and off I have finally completed all the monster trophy achievements!

Edit: I want to shout out @16BitForestCat who posted a method on the following forum post that helped my nab my final 10 monster trophies. They helped me, so sharing this info might help you guys out too:

This is the 27th of Last Seed, the year of Akatosh, 583. Still looking for Alit Bezoar, cruel collar and a cat's claw. These are the closing years of the second era, and the final hours of my life.

THANK YOU for this thread

I am heading to Tu´whaca´s Throne - Alik´r to find the crypt jar. May the odds forever be in my favor :P

Best spot to farm Frost Atro for Everfrost was : Coldwind's Den in Wrothgar (cave to the east of Jehanna Docks). 4 atronachs spawning fast and you can have a nice farm ! Took me only 5 min whereas hours in other spots (Spellscar or Willowgrove).

Thanks all for the thread ! I have completed trophies now

Has anyone found Buzzing Spine from Wamasu yet? RNG might not be in my favor, but have probably killed 1200 Wamasu (yes, I spent a week and countless hours, doing a circuit on lower half of the place!) and have received plenty of blue drops, but no collectibles.

EDIT: 11/12 - finally found it Wamasu, south of Hatching Pools.

I got mine in the southern beach of Grahtwood. I wasn't farming, just killing critters as I passed through. Caldwell Silver for me, I'm DC. There are others, like Alits, of which I've killed a crapload without a collectible drop. RNG is a mean MotherF.

Message #88 and #89



I think, unfortunately for me, it will be impossible to get this Achievement:
Tamriel Beast Collector



In my case, RNG is really irreversibly stubborn against me.

I've been trying in vain for years.




EDIT:

Got today, finally !!

Completionism has a limit.
I reached for it and gave up.

I spent hundreds of hours farming the Ayleid, Dwarven, and most recently the Druidic furnishing plans. In all of that time I've pulled 1 purple Dwarven plan, ZERO purple Ayleid plans, and 3-4 purple Druidic furnishing plans. I'm not saying that these things should just be handed to us, but they also shouldn't be this difficult to get. Why add something to the game that less than 1% of the people will ever have? It makes me think that they put an intern in charge of the drop rates, and that intern didn't understand decimals. Seems petty, but it's one of the major reasons that I stopped playing as much as I used to. I probably play 15-20 minutes per day now, and I'll never spend another dollar in the Crown Store.

Brass Anklets was one of the few I still needed but I was delaying because I couldn't think of a good spot outside of DC zones (my characters are all DC)... Anyhow I found the best spot so far! Plenty of Nereid to kill non-stop, they are inside Nereid Temple Cave which is south-west of Dread Vullian (follow the road) in Greenshade.

Excellent spot, just pick up the Right of Theft quest from Nara right outside Dread Vullian and it'll walk you straight into the cave (it'll be locked otherwise). You keep access after completing the quest as well.

Probably a stupid question, but does anybody actually have any tips for getting trophies to drop?
Or is it simply just kill X monster over and over until RNGesus blesses us?

I did notice one thing that when I create a new toon, I often get a lot of trophies in the low levels, and now that achievements are shared I was thinking possibly there would be a way that a new toon has a higher drop rate and being able to farm the ones I need that way.
Has anyone got any insight about this?
