25 writs done - o glass fragments

Leggi

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.

Buy it cheap skate

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

I find it hard to believe it would be a BUG, not seen any bugs ever in this game!!!

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

RNG or a conspiracy theory....

The truth is out there....

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.

NovaMarx

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...

Qyrk

I receive 5 writs from 25 writs turn in.

Not a bug, but just a bad RNG for you mate. Some are winners, some are ....out of luck .

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.

That is terrible!! I can send you something if you are on EU PC then you can laugh in RNG'S face

@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

Tors

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

Have you got a single piece for the last 2 days?

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?

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

FireCowCommando

Took me about 180-200 writs to get 10 fragments, or roughly one month to complete one chapter. If i keep this up and im lucky ill get it by next year.

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.

sparafucilsarwb17_ESO

Have done maybe 5 writs since IC (just too damn boring) and have gotten 4 glass fragments.

Moonshadow66

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?

Yeah im on EU

But still, even giving me stuff mean RNG still hates me. But I do take presents, I love them.

That was the last 3 days, mate across multiple characters.

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.

Brrrofski

I've done about 40 writs (saved some up and opened when IC dropped) and have found 8.

These are all top tier.

To answer the ambrosia fragment question, I've had one since ic

Palidon

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.

Leggi

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.

I'm a fortune's favourite. lol

Hyperplexed

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)

You got 42 fragments already??? I'll take your bad streaks if I can get your good one too!
