Question about Silk of the Sun

Trying to get the Silk of the Sun set for my Mag DK i got 2 rings and a necklace just need two 1handed swords sharpened so my question is.

1. How big is the drop rate for the 1 handed sword with the trait sharpened because i was farming overland group bosses yesterday in stonefalls almost all day and it mostly drops red mountain set or sun set gearbut no weapons (the only weapon i got atm thats kinda useful is the resto staff silk of the sun with defending)

2. Also would you farm overland bosses or rather go to a public dungeon kill the bosses to try and get the swords?

    Good question, I think the public Dungeons drop Shoulders 95% of the time though.

    You get weapons from World Bosses and Public Dungeon Bosses. And, not all that often. So, to get a weapon, and in your case, two, of the preferred type and trait? Prepare to spend some time grinding, or grinding gold to buy it in a guild kiosk.

    Me, I would go for the weapons, get something for the set. Then, keep on until I got the preferred one. While Sharpened is good to have, the Set Bonus is even better.

    Also, unless your trying to run a two Piece Monster set you can get to 5/5 without a weapon. This will allow you to craft the trait you want. Or, make one 5 piece in Crafted, the other in Dropped as then you get the Jewlery on 3 pieces, 2 armors for the set, then 5 crafted. This lets you run one monster piece, like Molag Kena, or two in the case of DW

    So change your set to not need the weapons. 5 piece set is just 5 pieces. Doesn't mean it has to be weapons to get the damage or status your looking for. Never quite understood why somone would pay the 200kg for a sword I found, but low and behold it did sell. I then used necklace, rings, waist and boots and got the same result; only 200,000g richer.

    When I was farming sprigging pieces I found that the public dungeon bosses have a low drop rate for weapons compared to the world bosses. Either way if it's two sharpened sun swords you want it's a massive grind or a massive expense.

    I need weapons because im not making a build with crafted gear so i need to grind weapons anyway. And i never check the traders because a few friends told me they go for alot and some traders even have these waaaay to overpriced items..

    I choose massive grind i guess i would have bought them if i didnt quite eso for almost 2 months and gave my gold 350K to random people in the begin zone gave the new players 10K for the horse (real new people not new characters i checked their trophies on ps4) and i gave my alloys, wax, rosin and kutas to my friend

    So Silk of the Sun weapons low rate just like the overland bosses damn it ZoS...

    Another source of weapons?

    I got a Silk of the Sun sharpened staff from a treasure chest that I got the map from while in another zone.

    So weapons can also be gotten from there.

    best way to make it less soul sucking boring is find a couple of people that want diff stuff from same zone which is easier for you than most as both red mountain and shalk are wanted and group with them. Gives you someone to talk to and share the pain and you can all swap drops meaning more chance per kill to get what you want.

    I put a few pieces up in the zone chat purple red mountain but almost nobody says anything or when they do they ask how much i tell them to make an offer and never hear from them again lol but i also have 2 friends with me now and then to help me get the swords but no luck either.. we will see im going to grind again when main is over...

    True but the bad thing about the treasure chest is it can give a random set can be Sun, Red, or Shalk. and then hope you get the right piece with the right trait overland bosses drop chest, leg, head and weapons and public dungeon drops shoulders, gloves, shoes and weapons. Even tho sun swords have a low drop rate i think youre better off doing the bosses

    Good luck with the grind I hope RNGesus favours you. Also you mentioned that you didn't know what 5 piece you wanted with sun and your valkyn/grothgaar set have you considered burning spell weave from city of ash. Maybe you would have more luck getting weapons from there as a run of CoA1 normal takes 10-15 mins. Just not sure which loot table is worse. A chance of weapon or jewels from 3 diff sets or weapon legs chest and whatever else from 3 different sets from world bosses

    No problem and I run a destro/destro or resto mag dk that has valkyn 2 piece jewels belt and back bar staff litch and then the other 4pieces and front bar destro I have run as sun, burning spell weave and julianos and spell weave seems to outperform the other 2 in terms of damage but it's hard for me to be accurate as I'm on console.

    Yea im trying to get a dw/resto build first and then grind for a destro/resto build to switch from time to time. for me if i play too much with the same gear i just get bored so when i get the feeling of being bored i switch to destro/resto or dw/resto whatever i use then. I will keep that in mind. And yes we need a few more addons on console like buff times etc

    Me, I would go for the weapons, get something for the set. Then, keep on until I got the preferred one. While Sharpened is good to have, the Set Bonus is even better.

    Also, unless your trying to run a two Piece Monster set you can get to 5/5 without a weapon. This will allow you to craft the trait you want. Or, make one 5 piece in Crafted, the other in Dropped as then you get the Jewlery on 3 pieces, 2 armors for the set, then 5 crafted. This lets you run one monster piece, like Molag Kena

    I was thinking of going 5xSun 2Rings, Necklace, 2Swords.5x from another set (dont know which one yet) Chest, Belt, Gloves, Legs, Shoes. and then either Skoria or the Vault of Madness monster set with the fire around you even if you move around it stays on you.

    Well, just mix and match - perhaps you'll get a weapon or two of the other set first. It's not like it used to be where almost no sets had weapon or jewelry pieces. My DK has Silks of the Sun and Elf Bane (but Elf Bane has enough bugs at the moment, being an ancient set almost no one ever used, that I'm not sure it's worth it at the moment).

    Me, I would go for the weapons, get something for the set. Then, keep on until I got the preferred one. While Sharpened is good to have, the Set Bonus is even better.

    Also, unless your trying to run a two Piece Monster set you can get to 5/5 without a weapon. This will allow you to craft the trait you want. Or, make one 5 piece in Crafted, the other in Dropped as then you get the Jewlery on 3 pieces, 2 armors for the set, then 5 crafted. This lets you run one monster piece, like Molag Kena

    I was thinking of going 5xSun 2Rings, Necklace, 2Swords.5x from another set (dont know which one yet) Chest, Belt, Gloves, Legs, Shoes. and then either Skoria or the Vault of Madness monster set with the fire around you even if you move around it stays on you.

    Well, just mix and match - perhaps you'll get a weapon or two of the other set first. It's not like it used to be where almost no sets had weapon or jewelry pieces. My DK has Silks of the Sun and Elf Bane (but Elf Bane has enough bugs at the moment, being an ancient set almost no one ever used, that I'm not sure it's worth it at the moment).

    Elf bane i seen that set never used it myself. I might even try 3 piece arch- mage and a 2 piece from another set that has either max magicka or rec i still need to look what my rec is going to be at. Thanks for the help!

    Elf Bane is a heavy armor set which adds 2 seconds to the duration of fire DoTs. In theory, anyway.

    I've farmed Stonefalls a lot, and I received the most weapons from world bosses, including sharpened daggers and swords. Could just be a coincidence, but yeah, delve bosses didn't yield much.

    When I was farming sprigging pieces I found that the public dungeon bosses have a low drop rate for weapons compared to the world bosses. Either way if it's two sharpened sun swords you want it's a massive grind or a massive expense.

    I choose massive grind i guess i would have bought them if i didnt quite eso for almost 2 months and gave my gold 350K to random people in the begin zone gave the new players 10K for the horse (real new people not new characters i checked their trophies on ps4) and i gave my alloys, wax, rosin and kutas to my friend

    So Silk of the Sun weapons low rate just like the overland bosses damn it ZoS...

    best way to make it less soul sucking boring is find a couple of people that want diff stuff from same zone which is easier for you than most as both red mountain and shalk are wanted and group with them. Gives you someone to talk to and share the pain and you can all swap drops meaning more chance per kill to get what you want.

    I put a few pieces up in the zone chat purple red mountain but almost nobody says anything or when they do they ask how much i tell them to make an offer and never hear from them again lol but i also have 2 friends with me now and then to help me get the swords but no luck either.. we will see im going to grind again when main is over...

    Good luck with the grind I hope RNGesus favours you. Also you mentioned that you didn't know what 5 piece you wanted with sun and your valkyn/grothgaar set have you considered burning spell weave from city of ash. Maybe you would have more luck getting weapons from there as a run of CoA1 normal takes 10-15 mins. Just not sure which loot table is worse. A chance of weapon or jewels from 3 diff sets or weapon legs chest and whatever else from 3 different sets from world bosses

    Haha thank you! RnG love em or hate em he still f**cks you up lol. And i might im just trying to get the sun and see from there i was thinking about a few sets even seducer but i will grind different sets and test them out on my friend and i seen burning spell weave i got a chest imp so i might try it out. Thanks again

    No problem and I run a destro/destro or resto mag dk that has valkyn 2 piece jewels belt and back bar staff litch and then the other 4pieces and front bar destro I have run as sun, burning spell weave and julianos and spell weave seems to outperform the other 2 in terms of damage but it's hard for me to be accurate as I'm on console.

    Yea im trying to get a dw/resto build first and then grind for a destro/resto build to switch from time to time. for me if i play too much with the same gear i just get bored so when i get the feeling of being bored i switch to destro/resto or dw/resto whatever i use then. I will keep that in mind. And yes we need a few more addons on console like buff times etc

    By no means was I saying you should change or my way better sorry if it came across that way.
    If I could get away with dual wield I would and enjoy having 5/5/2 set bonuses but I mainly PUG with my dk so things like elemental drain, siphon and mystic orbs are myths my character gets to hear about so I need the sustain from Destro.

    Swords are impossible to get. Buy sturdy or impen shields.

    Yea i know you arent. I just know from myself that i like to change from time to time then its DW/Resto then its Destro/Resto or even S&B/Resto just depends on what i want to play with lol. You good

    Just curious ...

    You haven't decided on the other set to compliment Sun yet ... but you have decided it shouldn't be crafted??

    Is it an issue with not having enough materials/resources (or gold) to craft the other set?

    It's way easier to craft the weapons that you need in the desired trait ... rather than rely on an admittedly slim RNG.

    ooh man, 2 sharpened swords is better than the 5th piece sun set, particularly since they aren't mutually exclusive, isn't it? 5280 pen vs 450 spell dam that doesn't get buffed by major sorcery

    Materials/resources isnt a problem at all but i did see sets that you can farm that are slightly better atleast some of them and im willing to try them out just the farming is a pain lol I can also use seducer I have the pieces imp from my other dk build even heavy kag
