Veteran vs Normal Dungeon Drop Rates for Traits

Matt45045

Am I more likely to get a Divine Trait on armor in a Veteran Dungeon vs a Normal Dungeon or are the drop rates for armor traits the same in both?

    its the same because in ZOS's idiotic minds, all traits are created equal

    making divine drop more often in more challenging content would mean they have to admit divine is better than prosperous, which is absolute blasphemy to them

    12.5% per trait. No matter the instance.

    The only difference is the quality.
    - Normal dungeons drop in blue quality, no monster head.
    - Veteran dungeons drop in purple quality, guaranteed monster head.

    Other than that the trait and item pool is exactly the same though I'm not that sure that it's actually sure that drop rate is 12.5%. I've been getting a lot of impenetrable on all gear pieces, including monster heads. Actually 2-3 days ago all monster heads I got were impenetrable. I suspect ZoS is manipulating the trait pool between incremental updates. That would make sense actually - because impenetrable was not included in the trait pool for some months, now has increased drop rate for a time to compensate. Has anyone else getting a lot more impenetrable lately?

    It's globally 12.5%, not by person. Each player gets a different spread. Some rage for extreme amount of Well-Fitted drops, others for Prosperous. Someone out there who's not complaining is getting a nice share of Divines drops.
