Fragment Ratio from provisioning discovery thread

Faugaun

So far I am 0 dailies and 0 fragments, plan on doing 6 dailies tonight though.

We can see about what the chances of getting a fragment are with this hopefully.

MissBizz

Have done 4 (both level 50 provisions with VR toon) and none.

Oh yeah must note it only counts if you have level 50 provisioning and the 6 skill points allowing you to do max level writs.

Faugaun

No one else gonna join in this one?

Iluvrien

I can, and will join, but only have 2 max-level provisioners. I will still submit my results...

...just a thought but shouldn't this be in the Crafting section?

UrQuan

So far I'm 12 provisioning writs, and 1 fragment.

snowmanflvb14_ESO

12 writs no frags

Alphashado

3 lvl 50 provisioners, 3 writs, no fragments.

Same here.

With these ratio's how are people getting all of them and selling the potions in the guild stores? Crazy.

Dru1076

If the recipe was readily available this would be a really good thing. But given how hard it is for someone like me to get the recipe, with only one character doing the high level writs I might not get all the fragments for months. This has turned out to be just another way hard-core gamers can make large amounts of in game gold and leave casuals even further behind. Not what I was hoping for from these boosters at all.

I am 0 so far... It will be interesting to see how long it takes to get my first fragment, but going on the figures here so far, I won't be anticipating one anytime soon.

Faugaun

Well apparently I only had level 50 writs...

Anyways opened 3 got none. Will try again tomorrow, might be able to have a 4th to on going tomorrow of I have time to train his p4ovosioning

They are buying the fragments on the open market at 500k a frag or more.

Max2497

12 writs so far, one fragment

Max2497

Are the fragments really selling for 500k+? I've only seen people offering 100k. The fragments are very difficult to find in the guild traders as "trophy" doesn't seem to be under any of the filter able options.

Some Guilds might share the frags and give the things to 1 person first so have access to the potions. Pretty common tactics.

I_killed_Vivec

I worry this means no DLC for some time - instead ZoS has everyone busy doing writs and fishing.

Though one day in I was astounded to see people are selling 5 different pages, which means they've already collected 12.

I haven't seen one... RNG just isn't fair!

I've got an add-on that puts a trophy tab in ah and allows searching by a simplified boolean queary. I saw in auction house from 600k-1million per on about 15 recipes, nothing cheaper. Asking around in chat people estimating zone chat prices are 300k+. And the one confirmed sale I have on m.m. was at 500k.

So you tell me?

Pangnirtung

Two level 50 provisioners. Four writs NO fragments.

Argusus

Four writs no fragments, I saw someone in zone chat say they were stock piling provisioning packs for the past few weeks on 8 toons and after opening 50 of them they only got 2 fragments.

justflyn

12 Lvl 50 writs/12 pre-lvl 50 writs
- no pages so far

I think I have some horrible luck so far

UrQuan

I'm now up to 20 provisioning writs, 2 fragments.

Well, to be fair I've got 8 characters at provisioning 50 now... You've got 3?

Now do I go off and do minimum level writs on my other 8 characters? I guess I might as well...

Faugaun

3 more, no fragments

SirAndy

8 chars with prov at 50 and all skill points spent and no fragments yet.
Got 4 purple recipes though ...

Do you mean you need to be able to craft Psijic Ambrosia in order to get recipe fragments as writ rewards? I only have points enough to make blue recipes because that is all I actually use in the game, but I still get purple recipes from writ rewards (stuff like "Tears of Joy" and "Secret Chef's Pork Roast"). Is Psijic Ambrosia different? I have no intention of ever making it, but would still like to get fragments so I can sell them just like I sell purple recipes.

tengri

4 writs. one fragment.

No. According to the patch notes you have a higher chance of getting a fragment if you're doing a higher level provisioning writ. The highest level provisioning writ comes from having 6/6 in Recipe Improvement (requires Provisioning 50 and allows you to craft VR10 food), so that's what you need to maximize your chances. You don't need to have any skill points in Recipe Quality to get the recipe fragments: the 2 fragments I got both came from characters who had no skill points in Recipe Quality.

The characters need to be vr also I think but not certain.

helediron

12 writs, no frags
