The anniversary event is bloody evil

KingYogi415

I got a worm cult motif on my third box!

Chufu

I love this event

Soooo many styles (even of wormcult) and there are a few days left!

If people need to finish their quest cap, just ask other players to share you daily quests from a specific area. (i may be wrong by a number)

For example:
Dark brotherhood area has 5 quests that give you a box - kill minotaver, arena , 2 delves and daily assasination
Morrowind has 4 quests (kill animal, collect relic, clean a delve, kill a world boss) , just ask players in party to share them and you can easy do at least 20 there
Thiefs area 2 quests (not sure for one outside the board)
Wrothgar 2 quests (1 delve 1 world boss) -- you can easy do 10 or so quests here, but its a lot of anoying running
Clockwork -- 4 quests (1 delve find a guy or something else, 1 boss kill, material collection, crow quest - needs to be stocked)
You can do 2 world bosses, 5 or so collection quest, 2-5 crow quests (a bit hard as players instantly complete those), delve quest 2-3
Crafting dailys (6)
1 easy delve quest from undaunted (and 3 dungeon ones)
And then there is craglorn (wich i ignore)

When i finish my quests i generaly only need to do 1 town or maybe 2 to cap to 50.

Unless you run a game with 0 dlc and only cyrodil, then you are forced to pvp.

Also one of the best thing of this event for any new players is that they can get a Dungeon only DLC motifs, wich are only avaible to them via market at the nasty prices.

xeNNNNN

I got ashlander belts and wormcult daggers in one box just before I logged off

i am taking a break from it, i just opened about 20 plus boxes on my one character and other than about 3 green items everything else was white.

its like it just broke

So, to get 1 motif you need like 200 boxes (more like 2K if you want a worm cult motif) cuz zos like to be jerks with this kind of thing

wow, you're really rude arent you? fyi, i havent done 2000 and iv got 4 worm cult motifs so far. and tonnes of others

The solution is to not let loot dictate your play. Do what you enjoy. If getting phat loot has become your single focus in the game, it's time to take a step back and reflect IMO.

Personally, I'm really turned off by the petulance exposed by these events.

MarleyRain

I have never seen so much complaining from a group of adults in my life, it's too rare, it's not rare enough. Some people won't be happy no matter what happens. Instead of enjoying an awesome event lets be miserable because I haven't gotten everything in the first 3 days. Geeeez.. Come on

SydneyGrey

You can get six a day per character just doing crafting writs outside of Cyrodiil. You don't *have* to be in Cyrodiil at all to get the boxes.

GeorgeBlack

Lemme trigger you rl quick
I logged in. Did my crafting with 1 character. Got shoulders and something else. Loggeg out.

I did the first one for the cake, and then did my daily dungeon runs for the xp (like 101K, then the 33K xp)

Nope those do not count. You need to do dailies :-)

ak_pvp

I get a motif like every 4~ boxes. Its usually. 2 boxes of trash mats/green. 1 box of low tier consumable like some furnishing. One box of motifs. Out of my crafter this morning I got like 4 motifs from one chars writs. But then yesterday in 10 boxes from cyro I got nothing but mats/trash.

My first box was WC bows, then like 50+ later daggers. Not a great chance but eh.

ah yes.. the 300+ boxes of low end crafting materials I can't use and nobody will buy, all the while people around me are getting motifs, praxis and high end materials
I kid you not when I say this, the single most valuable thing I've gotten out of all the boxes I've popped so far is literally dirt (desecrated soil)

I mean... still all I can say is #firstworldproblems. You're still getting free stuff lol. I'm not sure what more ZOS can do short of literally dumping gold into every player's inventory.

And even then...

"They only gave me X gold? What an insult. I would rather they didn't give me anything!"

All mats have a place, I'm assuming you are not a crafter that helps your guild if you are not interested in Materials. And if you are not a crafter that's probably why you are getting bad rates, crafters with all passives and many motifs learnt have a higher chance, it's like Writs. At least that's how it worked before.

I've opened 24 boxes now total and had 5 worm. Drop rate is crazy high on a master crafter.

You don't need to go to Cyrodiil, it is in theory an easy way to 50 boxes, however PvP is the curve ball and slows you down - ITS DESIGNED THAT WAY. Otherwise everyone would.have easy access to 50 boxes and flood the market with worm etc

Stop whining about PvP in a PvP zone.

Bad rate is subjective. Don't like the content, don't do it. It is that simple. If you want something in the content, get good. But whatever you do, don't cry because everything isn't handed to you. In reality, the event is something extra, not something that was marketed and you purchased, they don't need to do an event at all.

This is my favorite festival just for this reason. Always enjoyed small scale fights in and around villages. That being said I've also seen 10+ people from 3 alliances questing in peace. It all depends on how you approach people.

I kinda prefer Midyear Mayhem in Cyrodiil (and especially in battlegrounds), but running the town quests with a small, coordinated group, is a blast. I love the Anniversary for the stuff it gives.

VonNelson

Plenty of dailies outside cyrodil

Stop with the whining

Jade1986

I got three chest motifs in 3 chests. xD I guess this is my reward for not getting jack all in the jester event.

Nemesis7884

its really weird, cause one day i drown in motifs - every char gets multiple in his/her boxes - even 2 per box!! and then today on 10x6 chars i get 2 motifs...so...maybe people are on to something when they say that the daily drop chances change...

One day at the casino I win a lot, but the next day I keep losing. Did the casino change the odds for blackjack? No, I just had a run of bad luck. Same here. RNG is random. You will have good and bad runs.

Banana

Its great. So much stuff to sell.

Zhaedri

I've actually really enjoyed this event, so much more than the '10 million stories' event. Many dailies are easy, there are groups doing stuff all the time, the drops range from ok to awesome (instead of 10 million stories' 'insult lockpick' to 'amazing costume'). XP buff plus dailies is leveling a bunch of characters.

I've gotten a bunch of motifs, a bunch of furnishing patterns, and a bunch of mats... including furnishing mats it seems I am ALWAYS out of.

Narvuntien

I have done about 30ish dailies 1 worm cult but plenty of other motifs both from the boxes and the daily coffers aswell.

I don't understand what there is to complain about you are getting free stuff for doing things you would of done anyway.

Btw you are forgetting the craglorn dailies, grab some guild mates and get to work farming boxes.

My one gripe with the event is..... WHY THE HELL IS THERE A QUEST CAP!????!?. I want to collect all the daily quests then organise my day around the most efficient path for completing them all. The quest cap keeps forcing me to go back to town to hand them in.I still have all my other quests i don't have time to do during the event.

So you dont use the incredibly useful alchemy mats for potions/poisons or easy gold in a guild trader then?

2x master crafters opened nearly max boxes on both every day(all writs, all pledges, all guild, all wrothgar bosses and delves, and a bunch of cyro to make up the rest), 4 worm total. So please spare us the theories because they're just not true.

RNG is RNG that's it.

That said, I'm still pleased with everything I've been given for free.

DeadlyPhoenix

Have maxed out one characters dailies every day since the event started and have done a few/most here and there on my alts.

I have only gotten 2 worm cult motifs so far and 1 bouyant.... 300+ boxes.... so basically I will not be getting the full motif since I will not be able to get them myself, refuse to pay 200k per page and am not even getting duplicates to trade.

I appreciate the free stuff, but ZOS, you know how your market in motifs work. You knew your flippers would buy up the cheap ones and repost for 200k+

I should've been able to get this motif myself, especially maxing out dailies on a character. Just feel sorry for the people who actually have a life and cant spend 23 hours a day farming for these ridiculously rare motifs.

Sounds to me like someone is making up stories. I do my daily crafting on 8 characters and get 1-2 motifs per character pretty much every day. TTC currently has 11,400 Worm Cult motif pages listed. I'd call that an acceptable drop rate. It took me about 2 hours last night to do 25 dailies outside of Cyrodiil.
