What's going on?

I do tonns of writs every day to get glass fragments. Earlier I had 3 every 10 writs.
Now I've done already 25 and got absolutely zero.

Another boody bug, ZOS?

And I don't anymore trust in "I get it, you should have it too" cause there are tonns of bugs that don't happen to everyone and are quite uncommon like falling/skydiving bug, like dismount troubles, abilities don't working and so on.

    Probably just the RNG gods ragging on you. I had similar recently with survey scrolls, I was getting at least one every three or four writs, then suddenly for three weeks nothing, now I've been getting one every writ for the last week or so.

    You know I have been playing since early access and I loot every dang chest/closet/sack/corpse I come across.

    - never found any purple/yellow motif
    - never found any purple recipe
    - never found any collectible
    - hardly got any Kuta
    - From pledges never had any good loot


    Some people just are not favored by the RNG gods. I bet it must be Sheogorath who is the god of all RNG related things. I gave up on pledges, but I still loot every chest/closet I see. I might get lucky someday.

    Yup me too.

    Initially quite a lot, then suddenly the drop rate seems to have nose dived. And that's doing a full set of top tier writs on 4 characters every day.

    Again.
    I do writs from the IC start.
    I've done close to 120-130 top writs and got 42 glass gragments.
    Last 25 top writs I got nothing.

    It's not RNG, it's another bug.

    Well, it wouldn't profit ZOS if you found a lot. They want players to buy the glass motif in crown store for $50 so they made it as rare and as hard on your toon as they wanted it to be.

    The RNG does seem to favour some more than others, I have a nightblade who is my only toon that loots anything good!

    Strangely it was just before it appeared in the crown store that the drop rate plummeted for me.

    RNG or a conspiracy theory....

    Sounds like the perfect definition of RNG to me, you have good streaks and you have bad streaks, i would actually start to question the RNG if you were constantly getting a consistent amount all the time, that's a sure sign of a broken RNG system.

    I have done no writs since IC launch, so I can't say anything about the "statistics". But I have found 3 shards just by searching random chests around in the world. Something is definitely a bit skewed... :tongue:

    I don't think it matters a jot what tier you are. I got a lot more fragments and maps doing the quicksilver/mahogany/silverweed writs than I do for the void steel/nightwood writs.

    @Leggi what level writs are you doing? If you do the highest level (Vet /voidsteel/night wood etc) then you have better chances of getting writs

    Because you don't get a 30% drop rate you think its a bug?

    What a massive ego!


    They are rare

    They are supposed to be rare

    Whats your problem?


    Out of around 400 I got 20 which is around 5%. You were never getting 3 out of 10

    7 vets, 4 tier 7-8 (32-42 in skills), 10 max tier writs.
    Since my mats are almost finished, there were 7 tier 7-8 and 18 max tier writs done.

    1 writ done is almost 90 mats. 30% droprate mean you need 450-500 writs done to get 140 pages.
    That's 40k of mats. That's not that small.

    Do you do top tier writs with Vet toons?
    I have a nightblade who is my only toon that loots anything good!

    Same with my orsimer DK toon, she's almost 1.5 times loot than others

    What tier writs have you done?
    Low level and non-vet writs are almost useless to do.
    Example. My non-vet toon with maxed prov skill has brought me absolute zero ambrosya fragments after 90-100 done.
    In total I've sold maybe 50. Maybe more.

    I'm doing writs in Craglorn with 6 characters everyday (sometimes I leave out woodworking on some because of lack of material), but it's up to 18 equipment writs and I get 1 glass fragment a day in total. When I'm lucky, I get 2. But never 2 on 1 character.

    I'm a max level crafter in all trades so max writ. Interesting to note since i was not paying close attention to this at the time, but i never got an ambrosya fragment since IC update.

    Are they still in writs? Or did ZoS mess up the drop rate of those when they added glass fragments?

    I don't think it matters a jot what tier you are. I got a lot more fragments and maps doing the quicksilver/mahogany/silverweed writs than I do for the void steel/nightwood writs.

    ZoS specifically stated in the patch notes that top tier writs have a dramatically higher chance of getting the fragments than the lower tier writs.

    Zero writs, crown store entire motif. Sorry folks but I learned long ago with this game that I an not going to waste my time doing something over and over again to hopefully get the drops from the rare items such as motifs, mats, armor etc. This game is all about repeatable content which at a certain point just gets old.

    Ok, one single glass fragment after dunno how many writs done since post publishing.
    And that's where math comes.

    Doing single top writ costs some mats which can be sold for the price of 500 - 3 000 g.
    That means that doing 12 writs like 8 cloth, 2 void and 2 wood results in no less than 10-15k. And if there's no glass fragment drop - there's no point in farming fragments at all.
    Belkarth is a time eater with all that loading screens, unexpected loading screens, 10 seconds to leave the game. So instead of collecting mats and doing writs it's much better to grind some mobs and earn gold that way.

    Just to buy fragments in the end.
    That's 10k for a piece or less.

    And I've bought 15 yesterday. No more writs from now on.

    I found hundreds of purple motifs. But you can farm them.

    And I already received the Imperial motif twice. :)

    Doing 10 equipment writs every day, and while in some rare occasions I got none, I usually get 1-3 per day. Its just RNG... (and yes, I'm doing all the writs that reward only the IX containers, which as stated in patch notes have higher chances of dropping fragments)
