Dried/Tainted Blood drop rate question

Okay, so what the hell is wrong with these items drop rate? I'm killing enemies, NPCs with blade of woe for hours now, and not a single drop of any of those items. I'm way over 500 kills now at this point. Do i need a passive for this to work? I am at level 2 with the Dark Brotherhood skill line. Do i really have to kill thousands of enemies just for a dried blood? Not to mention you need 10 of those to get one tainted blood. This is nonsense.

    Oh, and not to mention how friggin' anoying is to use Blade of woe as a vampire. Waiting for the correct prompt to pop up its like a cointoss. So many random feeds...

    I got 500 kills or so (not online atm)

    And i am pretty sure i got around 75 of these, I will check for sure when i go online. I think its totally random.

    If I die tomorrow I do not want to think of the game I could of played today, therefor I will play whatever I want today while securing a future to play in as well.

    Do you have any Assassins League motifs unlocked? I logged my non vampire toon, and now i'm getting dried blood frequently. But, it also has AL motifs unlocked... so do i need motifs unlocked to get the materials, or its bugged with vampires? :D

    Well i am a werewolf so not sure if its Vampire related problem.

    As for the motifs i am missing 4 (Head/Leg/Hand/Sword)

    When you max the DB skill line and know all the motif pieces for the league they will drop 100 percent

    So having a motif unlocked do affects the drop rate? Because i tried to farm it on my vampire nightblade, who didn't had any unlocked. I killed NPCs, and humanoid enemies, and i got nothing, not a single drop for 2 hours, and hundreds of kills later. While on my templar, i had unlucked one motif (staves), and after i got the blade of woe, i got 2 tainted blood in 20 minutes.

    Either way, we need a proper explanation on what are the requirements to get dried blood. xD

    ZOS needs to fix this having the entire motif and skill line should not be a requirement

    Totally agree. The way I got around it is to get up close. Only the Blade of Woe option will show. If you are farther away then be careful you will get the Vampire Feed.

    This is a joke, I have all the motifs and I'm level 7 DB so what ZOS are saying is buy mimic stones from the store or you have to wait to create the armour set you just spent 3 days farming for.
    I went outside once, the graphics were awesome but the gameplay sucked

    I know right? When new, desirable gear is released with new content everyone should be able to get it within 24 hours or it's just a complete and utter joke.

    I know when I get stuff, I want to look at it and say "Ahhh, this was so easy to get, and everyone else has it as well! What a satisfying endeavor this has been... /patselfonback"

    Theres a difference between hard to get, and not able to get it on a certain character. I spoke with many people about this, and everyone gets dried/tainted blood from blade of woe kills, regardless if they have any motifs unlocked or having progress in the DB story line. So after almost a 1000 kills, im a 99.999 percent sure that one of my characters is unable to receive dried blood.

    +1 to problems with droprate

    I have three of the assassin style motifs learned and I am DB rank 9 and I have only gotten 2x tainted blood, but I believe this have been through quest rewards. I have yet not seen a single dried blood drop, despite killing many NPCs.

    The drop rate sucks, probably to get people to buy crown style items...

    I can show that dried blood DOES NOT drop 100% at max DB and full motif learned.

    If there was a requirement to know a motif, that would be a sad day for ESO because I only have ONE crafting character and they are the ones who learn motifs, I don't need to learn them on characters that don't craft. So if this were true, it would mean that anyone who has a main crafting character would not be getting these style stone drops with all their other, non-crafting characters. Which is why I don't believe it is true, it would be a horrible business decision by ZOS, who knows full well that the majority of players don't craft on every character.

    Not to know a motif but to get better drops for dried blood there is a requirement
