world boss unique drop rates - you got to be kidding me?

Nemesis7884 · April 2017

is it like 1%? i am just killing the same damn boss today for the 28th time and it didnt drop ? ? ?

idk · April 2017

What are you calling a unique drop? A named item?

Nemesis7884 · April 2017

yes the named blue set items

GawdSB · April 2017

They drop too often for me tbh. And the fact that you can only have one at of time makes it even worst.

Nemesis7884 · April 2017

what does that mean you can have only one? if i already have it in my inventory it wont drop? i dont think thats true, i had the same item in my inventory another time and it dropped again from the same boss

BigBragg · April 2017

You can only equip one at a time and loot one, once in you inventory you won't get to pick up another.

@Nemesis7884

Means you can only have one of them equipped, I think.

You can have more than one at a time for some of them.

Nemesis7884 · April 2017

i think something is broken with the boss...34 kills now, still no drops - at lower levels ive always gotten the drop within the first 3-4 kills...

Nemesis7884 · April 2017

Because the items where different levels they aren't treated as the same item. At 160, you can only hold one, and wear one. I am 100% sure of this as I tried to farm for multiple named pieces on a build before and it failed with a pop up note telling me I can only carry one of a named item at a time.

Its RNG, I am farming 1H dragonguard since 6 hours but no luck!

I haven't encountered any unique items you can have multiple of. At least not from overland bosses.

IronCrystal · April 2017

I hate to burst your bubble, but 31 kills isn't a lot.

What is this? not normal blue set armor who world bosses has an guarantee chance of drop. However not the set you need and usually with trash traits.

I know that you can only hold one discuses and monster trophy.

Talking about the named pieces of gear in sets, not the set in general.

MLGProPlayer · April 2017

You do know these items are tradable right? Instead of farming the actual item, it's a lot faster to farm the gold and buy it.

Iyas · April 2017

Which Item was it?

Can't be true...
Explain how my Templar can equip 2: nirian shortblade (1H sharpened swords) at a time.
It's the set soulshine. I definitely can equip both the same sword.

True for some but not others. Friend of mine tried to use two of the daggers that say unique and it wouldn't let him equip both.

I believe not all of them (though named) have the unique tag in them any more, but both sides of the debate are correct.

Wish I knew the name of the item. My friend tried, it was two daggers.

getemshauna · April 2017

Lol. Forum elite didnt read the patch notes. Since homestead u can equip two same unique items at once.

Brrrofski · April 2017

Some of them you can equip two.

I have two of the named Soulshine sword on my templar.

Before homestead you could also.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have the solution and as a former vet mode obsessive I can confirm that it works

1. Realise as you run vet hard mode imperial city prison for the 600th time that the stupid thing just isn't going to drop
2. Say sod it and switch to all normal instead, finding that now pug groups are actually fun again
3. Realise that now I can craft gear to look anyway I like and play however the hell I like
4. Decide to never do vet ever again as there is absolutely no point
5. Discover how much better the game is for it

Motto is, don't chase the rabbit folks, even if you catch it you may not want to eat it

Vildebill · April 2017

Why are you spreading so much lies, you could equip two unique items since at least One Tamriel.

Pixel_Zealot · April 2017

Don't know about world bosses but Grothdarr light-armor divines monster shoulders has a 0.92% drop rate.

The RNG in ESo is a monstrous abomination. Be it chests, trash or bosses.

I believe I read somewhere in the incoming patches that the RNG of monster shoulders will be replaced by a token system. Doubt the world bosses will be impacted by this though.
