Mostly white (!) loot drops at Veteran Ranks?

Moonshadow66

Hello,
well, I'm VR6 at the moment, and ever since I hit VR1, the loot drops were mostly white, sometimes green, and only when I get very lucky it's something blue.
I've heard from other players or seen in the chat f.e. after a Dolmen, that they get blue or even purple stuff while I'm still sitting on white.
Some say it might be a bug, others say it's just "bad luck". I think it cannot be just bad luck since 6 Veteran Ranks, can it?

My most disappointing experience by now:
3 days ago, I tried to do the Lluvamir Dolmen alone (what other option do you have in VR zones). I even got the biggest endboss there is (as far as I know), Ozzozachar! I died 7 times altogether, but I could manage to finish the whole thing. It took ages to kill him and also the other Daedras before. I was so exhausted afterwards that I almost started crying. Then the reward chest: white stuff. That was it. Well, and the Ozzazachar's Door achievement plus another achievement for the 50th Dolmen. But I'm mainly talking about the rewards or loot. This must be a joke..

I've heard that others find even purple jewelry, how is this possible that I never do? And even blue armor is so rare that I'm constantly running low on crafting/improvement materials. Not talking about purple armor, they seem to only drop for other players.


But, I can't complain about Kuta's, I sometimes find one or also my hireling(s) bring them once in a while. But getting oats and tomatoes from a hireling or even finding purple recipes or even purple motifs is as rare as winning in the lottery, although I even started farming a while ago, I check every single container there is. At level 35 I found 2 purple recipes in Windhelm within an hour, and at about VR3 (I think) 3 in Shornhelm within about one hour as well. This cannot be a coincidence.

Though, this doesn't explain the white loot and rewards.

We must pray at the altar of Arengeezus, to the Lords of Zeni.

First, sculpt a scamp from fermented cheese.

Next, hop around it whilst shouting WABBAJACK!

Finally, eat the cheese.

This is guaranteed to increase your odds of finding better loot. If that doesn't work, send Lord Hines a letter telling him you tried all of the above.

I get oats and tomatoes all the time, hmm. It's when they send me hops or grapes that I get cranky.

There's this silly finesse score that if you do things all fancified when you are doing a dolmen or beating a boss you are more likely to get good loot.

Mostly it's RNG though, and if you die multiple times, that probably rules out finesse.

Used to find potatoes constantly post launch. I would pop open an intermediate chest, or empty a desk, and see...



I finally gave up, and started sticking them to my armor for extra protection.
