    Nice :) Do you know what's the drop rate for the masks. Been farming like 4 hours but only got the motifs.

    There is insufficient data at the moment to say anything meaningful about the drop rates. Across all of my characters, I had gotten 69 skulls today. I've gotten 1 mask, 0 gold recipes, 4 purple recipes (all of the same type, unfortunately--haven't gotten around to trading my dupes yet), and the rest are motifs and blue/green recipes.

    That's funny, I have gotten only 6 skulls and got the gold recipe from the 4th one xD
    Tomorrow I will have more time to farm, I hope I get a mask!

    I've been camping one spot for over eight hours. I've got no masks. Three different people got a mask when they arrived in the past hour. Two of them got the mask I'm here for.

    I'm all kinds of angry.

    nevermind that this isn't the account name I chose at account creation. Some administrator changed my stuff.

    1 spot for 8 hours? You know it's ANY boss right? Not just that 1...

    Yes. But it's time wasted trying to find the next boss.

    The same time wasted while you twiddle your thumbs for 3-5 minutes waiting on that respawn.

    To each their own, 8 hours in 1 spot seems like hell, I couldn't do it. You have 3 weeks to gather these items.

    With no guarantee that the scarecrow mask will drop, it seems like rolling dice to play it to fate that it might drop if i played like normal people do.

    Grinstone ( grim harlequin ) has yet to have been reported to drop. Only motif style stone is for hallowed jack.

    Since Grim Harlequin is a crown store exclusive, it will not drop anywhere in the game. However, you can decon Grim Harlequin equipment for the style stones (I did try this method and it worked fine).

    Grinstones do not drop from monsters. The idea with them is that you craft something using the Crown Mimic Stone, and then if you really want the Grinstone you can decon the piece of gear you just made - hence why they threw in 54 Crown Mimic Stones with the motif instead of 54 Grinstones

    So far had the following

    1) 5 x hollow chests
    2) 1x hollow belt
    3) 1x blue recipe
    4) 1x gold recipe

    Have also found you need to be in zone approx. your level or higher. Ie I went back to a starter zone and nothing dropped from the delve boss or the dolmen I did.

    I went just one zone back and got the drops.

    The guild chat was going crazy with people swapping motifs. If ZOS intended the additional social interaction from this, then they succeeded. Ive now got a full set of light armour style and broke the ice with some guild mates. Shameless plug for Flappy lips guild!!

    Well done ZOS

    I almost have the motif done (4 pieces left)
    I got the golden en 2 purple recipes
    And I found the scarecrow mark

    And that was in less then 3 hours.

    Also I really like the skeleton polymorph. I already had the EP skeleton and the DB one. But this one has a better robe. I hope we can keep the polymorph after the festival. It really fits my vampire magblade.

Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."

    Not sure if you are aware, but there is a cooldown for the drops. I think it was something like 8 minutes, but not sure about the exact time. That is, if you kill multiple bosses within 8 minutes, only one will drop a plunder skull.

    yeah knew about the cool down but I thought that was just for the player and not the bosses. Are you saying that if someone killed the boss before me, but he respawned within the cooldown, then I wouldn't get the drop? that could explain it. I thought it was just stopping me from trying it on with easy prey

    That’s what I thought, so what I said originally seems to still stack up unless someone has a different experience, ie you need to be hunting at a level appropriate to you and not just farming the starter areas

    I'd say I'm definitely very lucky but it just goes to show you will more than likely get at least 1 or 2 for every 100 you do

    I think that you get them in each Plunder Skull, like 3-5 probably...Therefore, it is the least that you should be worrying about, because by the time you get all motif chapters, you will have maybe even 100...

    the crazy thing is... i had a friend sell one of the masks for 400k yesterday on ps4.... and its REALLY easy to farm for it... even still people are asking to buy for over 100k.

    i did 4 runs of normal MA and the only things i'm missing now are 1 of the masks and 1 purple recipe... quick and easy farming.
