Shrouded Lich Set - Does anyone even have this set? (Ps4)

GreenSoup2HoT · October 2015

Can we get the drop rate raised?

To get any piece of this set is so hard, almost impossible. You need to get a general to spawn which is pretty rare. Then there is also a chance to obtain any piece of clothing from the chest. (I believe a certain general drops the staff)

I've done 100's of dolmens and have not come up with a single piece.

One of my guild mate's actually gave me a Dylora's Staff. He said he did over 500+ dolmens and that is all he found. When someone does 500+ dolmens and only get's one piece of this set.... somethings fishy.

If this could get looked into would be great.

Peel_Ya_Cap_517 · October 2015

Yea.. I just completed this set on Xbox through purchases..

I did over 300 Dolmens and never got a piece of the Lich set.. and only two pieces of the Draugrs Heritage

On ps4 i just went through every single guild trader and could only find 2 pieces of the gear. However they are being sold for ridiculous amounts of gold. No one will even buy them because for most magicka users this set is useless to them. I am one of the few players who like to theory craft and make hybrid builds / unorthodox builds.

I guess i wont be getting this set anytime soon. It wont stop me from farming dolmens but damn... this is gonna be just a pain in the...

If anyone at Zos could look into this would be great. I would mention some of the Zos staff but i dunno who is most appropriate to get a hold of for something like this.

Peel_Ya_Cap_517 · October 2015

Yea, I hear ya, its not easy to find..

I just kept checking daily until I found all the pieces I needed.. Sometimes people list them for cheap because they are lower levels or just don't know what they have

Yeah. I was able to find a couple lvl 40-V2 pieces. I bought them just to see what the set look's like cosmetic wise. The few v14-16 pieces are ridiculously over priced. Which makes getting a v16 set of this a fairytale..

But hey i got a v16 staff for now....

Hopefully i can find more or even get help looking for this set. Even if Zos looked into this set, it wont be till orsinium till any changes go in.

After about 3 and a half hours of grinding dolmens these are my findings.

1: Draugr Deathlord + Dread Flesh atronach
2: Menta Na
3: Dread Harvester
4: Dread Bone Colossus
5: Dread Ogrim
6: Dread Frost Atronach
7: Dread Xivilai
8: Dread Harvester
9: Dread Daedroth
10: Two Dread flesh atronachs
11: Draugr Deathlord x2
12: Dylora and her sister's (no staff

though )
13: Dread Flesh Atronoch
14: Dread Ogrim
15: Dread Xivilai
16: Dread Flesh Atronoch
17: Dread Xivilai
18: Dread Clannfear
19: Zymel Hriz (no drops)
20: Dread Clannfear
21: Dread Frost Atronach
22: Medrike and his brother (no drops)
23: Draugr Deathlord x2

I did about 23 dolmens over this time frame. All these dolmens were done in cryodil so i could receive v16 version's of the set im searching for (The Shroud of the Lich).

The results: 19 - were "Dreads". 4 - were "Generals".

As it stands. I will encounter a general about every 52 minutes if i grind just dolmens. On top of that there is the RNG that i will receive a piece of "the shouded lich set".

I had a system in cryodil where i could run to 2 dolmens between Fort Aleswell. Each dolmen would spawn after 1 minute of me getting there. I could repeatably complete these two dolmens in a very timely manner.

However we don't even know for sure how this set drop's. It could only be from a specific general. It would be great if Zos could drop in some knowledge on this matter.
.
.
.
Overall this is way to time consuming to recieve one set. This set is probably the rarest in the entire game.

@ZOS_GinaBruno , @ZOS_JessicaFolsom , @ZOS_RichLambert

Please look into this! I have spent countless hours farming for this set. Not just 3 and a half. Probably over 24 hours and i have gotten nothing.

Increase the amount generals spawn or make generals have a 100% drop rate to drop a unique item.

I'm talking about these incredibly rare sets

-Anguish set (wanted for cosmetic reasons)
-Mask of the Darkest Seducer (also wanted for cosmetic reasons)
-Hood of the Void Guard (also also wanted for cosmetic reasons)

-The Shrouded Lich Set
-Draughr's Heritage Set

-Any general specific weapon i may have not listed.

ANYTHING FROM DOLMENS PLEASE MAKE THEM EASIER TO ACQUIRE!

TX12001rwb17_ESO · October 2015

You are aware the shroud of the lich set (not shrouded lich) Is in the top 5 rarest sets in the entire game infact it may very well be the rarest set in the game, don't think your going to get it easily, I myself have the Crown, the Robe, The Bracers and the Staff, I got the staff from a guild vendor in windhelm for 800 gold.

Peel_Ya_Cap_517 · October 2015

Yea, I actually like the fact that it is so ultra-rare.. Keeps it interesting and fun to track down.

Theres just no way around it, if you want the whole thing, you're probably going to have to just buy the pieces you need.

Increase the amount generals spawn or at least make it 100% to receive one piece of set gear from a general.

ANYTHING FROM DOLMENS PLEASE MAKE THEM EASIER TO ACQUIRE!

The Crimson Lich of Mournhold...Gedhna Revel drops the Crown and the Robe of the Lich NOT the generic Dread Lich and it's only the dolmens in Cyrodiil that will give you the Vr16 pieces of the set, The Seducer Sisters Im sure drop the remaining pieces and yes your right it is very likley the rarest set in the game and we all had to work for it and it wasn't easy (mentioned in the previous post I have several pieces) I have seen a Vr10 Gold Staff sell for 400k let alone a Vr16 one which would be far more expensive....you see long ago before ESO came out on console the Lich Set was locked at Vr10 and even amongst all the Vr14 Gear it was still one of the most expensive sets in the game and well now its Vr16.

@Peel_Ya_Cap_517

I understand this set is extremely rare. I have a v16 Dylora Staff given to me from a guild mate.

However this set is just to rare.... in my previous post's ive done a complete sweep of all the guild stores and there are only 2 pieces of this set. Each selling for 400k. There are no hands of this set to be found.

I began my search for this set once i heard v16 version's were available. Also the cosmetic look is really nice.

The thing is, ive done probably 100s of dolmens and i haven't found anything. The only thing ive ever gotten was a chest piece of anguish and a Glacial Staff of Nomeg Haga.

Also to get this set in v16, you need to do dolmens in cryodil i believe. Or do dolmens in other zones outside of cryodil have chests that scale to your level?

Anyway, this set is just insanely rare. Nobody does dolmens on console (Ps4).

It's the rarest set in the game so it isn't wise to think it should be easy to get, I myself actually out of sheer luck have managed to get 4 pieces of the set from dolmens however 1 of the items I already had ( I had 2 crowns) and I had to buy the staff from a guild store, anyway the reason its so rare is with all 5 pieces a caster build will have near infinite magicka reserves as the 5th ability would increase their magicka regen by over 1000 points for 20 seconds once per minute allowing some players to recover magicka faster then they can use it.

Grandsupercoder · October 2015

Didnt mean to hijack this thread but are the 5 piece stats even relevant now when you are VR16? Or are you guys just `collectors `. Granted the crown looks awesome.

Peel_Ya_Cap_517 · October 2015

Yes, the dolmens have to be in Cyrodiil for the v16 stuff.

But, I just bought the v13 gloves for 20k the other day to complete my set. I am on console and there are people that run dolmens in Cyrodiil all day.. Either get with them or check the stores each and every day is my advice.

GreenSoup2HoT · October 2015

Well i got my work cut out for me that's for sure. I might as well make a "Rocky" montage of me doing endless dolmens

If Zos could lend us a hand it would be amazing though. Even just a little nudge. It will still be rare since its not so sought out for.

I like collecting the rare stuff in this game but I also think the Lich set is very viable for certain builds.. Like he said, you get an extra 1000 magicka regen when you're under 33%, so basically always have magic. I have been running this set with Warlock just for *** and giggles.. its been real fun lol

I'm someone of a collector. This set is now viable since it can be obtained in v16. It's pretty much a set that will give you endless magicka for any magicka build.

I want it so i can make various hybrid builds or just have crazy sustain on my magicka ones.

Not to mention it looks awesome BTW what's your magicka regen when its active? I heard some people can get theirs for that 20 second duration over 3500.

Peel_Ya_Cap_517 · October 2015

Mine goes to about 2000 but I really have no champ points in regen or enchantments on my jewelry, so yea, I think you could get it that high

Yeah. This on a magicka nightblade will be tons of fun. Endless purges and cloaks. I'm just not sure if magicka nightblade would even be a good match for this set. You need a class that's really magicka heavy.

MrDerrikk · October 2015

I found the Crown of this set at VR6 and didn't know what it was so I wore it...still sitting in my inventory, reminding me of my noobishness.

I would love a full set as it fits my playstyle perfectly but I've never had more than 60k at one time

Incase you are not aware It seems the 4 classes seem to be divided into 2 different groups, the Templer and DK are more melee while the Sorceror and NB are more magicka oriented classes, not to mention the NB has a passive called "Magicka Flood" which is an obvious sign it like the sorcerer is a magicka focused class so the only class better at Magicka then a Magicka NB would be a Magicka Sorceror.

A Nightblade who goes around in constant never ending stealth healing people and the enemy players have no idea why the person their hitting just wont die...that sounds fun, also i'm sure you can switch weapon's when the effect activates.

Teiji · October 2015

Threads been going on about this for over two years and is one of the reasons why TESO falls off in the MMO department.

The generals are very rare spawns whom don't even have a guaranteed drop; the items they use are not even game-breaking, they just look cool which is great and encourages exploration when players feel safe that the items are attainable.

I did over 500 Dolmens and never got the full Lich set, I gave up shortly after. Ridiculous.

I asked the same thing recently and the answer is yes, once the effect procs you can switch weapons and still retain the bonus. This also means you can equip a 2nd 5-piece crafted set if you use DW or 1H/S. Julianos comes to mind and would work well with Willpower jewelry with spell power enchants. The only caveat is that the 4 and 5 piece set bonuses for the 2nd set would only activate on your offensive skill bar. Still, most builds are setup like this anyway.

I also theorycrafted a light armor tank using Armor Master but Julianos would be a valid substitute for an offensive build. Kagrenac's would be a valid sub as well but the regen may be overkill.

I've considered using one of the new Orsinium set's with the Shroud of the Lich Set and really troll my opponent's as a magicka nightblade.

The Para Bellum set. Even though it is a medium set. You could get away with wearing 2 medium and the rest jewelry. Then since your a magicka nightblade you could just cloak till you get the 12k shield then attack. It would not be effective at all but would be fun to fool around with.

I can't wait to get my hands on more of the lich set. I need to grind dolmens till i die.
