Potion for better RNG ??

Sondernaam

I know that some of you do have a potion (recipe) for improving your RNG ! PLEASE SHARE THE RECIPE!!

Crown crates - I never get anything useful; master writs- 2-5 voucher writs for me - never more; Summerset and Vvardenfell chests - NO MOTIFS- only junk; Praxis, diagrams, recipes - I only find stupid low ones. Even Traitors Vault is useless and a time wasting exercise for me - stupid white weapons and stupid lockpicks...
I've heard rumours that whilst fishing in Summerset, you have a chance to catch a bottle that might contain motif pages - tried for hours - nothing.
Those stupid white portals - only stupid runes for me...
Why I know that there must be a potion: because of people that show off what they get (in chat), great stuff that some of you get...and it makes me so jealous...

I feel so unlucky...

New RNG potion:

Recipe: Unlocked by combing the new fortunate cipher whilst you have 5 atherial ciphers in your inventory.

Potion: Crafted at the elite provisioning station which can only be accessed in the new Murkmire zone.
You need one atherial cipher and 1,000,000,000 gold to craft one potion fragment. You then can combine 10 of these fragments to get a 20% chance for one "Blessed Divine Potion", increasing your RNG by 50% for 10 minutes.

You can also get the "Blessed Gold Coast Potion" as a radiant apex in a crown crate. 90% of all radiant apex rewards will be this potion. The "Blessed Gold Coast Potion" increases your RNG by 50% for 2 hours.

Developer Comments

The addition of RNG potions will reinforce the idea of pride and accomplishment when purchasing crown crates. This is a buff if your IQ is below 50.

Have you considered that those people that get those shiny recipes/motifs/whatever grinded 100s of hours? In case of writs you increase the droprate by learning more motifs

Pay to only drop one set in a dungeon or trial? (100+ runs of CoA for the BSW inferno... still not dropped)

Master writs quality depends on number of motif pages you have learned, not on RNG.

It depends on both

Obviously, but you got my point.

I doubt that master writ drop is dependent on the amount of motifs or recipes you've leaned. (??). I have noticed for a long time now that I get just as many M-Writs, and "quality of", on my alts (some well below lvl 50, but all crafts maxed), with very little recipes learnt and no motifs learnt than with my main - that have a HUGE amount of motifs and recipes learnt-. I only use motifs, recipes etc for my main, non on alts - besides the necessary recipes for crafting

More motifs / recipes known = more master writs ROFLMAO

I'm calling major BS on this.
Main crafter knows nearly all motifs (not got all SS yet) and all but the fishing recipe for provi and consistently gets garbage writs (if any at all) whereas my 5 alts that I do daily writs on that know just the basic stuff consistently get masters in the 100s. o.O

Anyway, not complaining, but this 'learn more motifs/recipes' is just bloody nonsense as far as I've been able to tell.

Fully agree !

The RNG is a vicious and sadistic entity that thrives on causing pain through denying those who truly desperately want and giving to those who laugh and frequently say "IDGAF" (which causes more pain to those who desperately want). There is no way to improve one's chances. There is only REVENGE. Join with me in my plotting to one day track down and KILL THE RNG. It's the only choice left to us, the Unlucky.

I got one on the pledge last week. Wasn't even looking for it. Now that I have it I should probably finish out the set.

I have similar luck to the OP. Small-voucher master writs, never the big juicy ones (my crafter has Style Master and is 4 nirnhoned away from being fully traited with scores of known recipes in every craft). Crap out of chests and portals. Until last week I had no idea that motifs even dropped from chests or portals or mobs or fishing in Summerset (thought it was just Artaeum, but I haven't seen any there either); I did not learn by finding one, just by hearing about it from guildies. I've used a few dozen Undaunted keys on the correct chest and have yet to get the one shoulder I need. The only difference is that I have gotten some good stuff from Traitor's Vault, but of course they're nerfing that, so that was a tease to make me think my luck had changed when actually it's to flip me a big fat bird by taking away my one source of good things.

As of today I have logged a total of 3,554 hours in the game after starting in May of 2017, a little over one year. So THOUSANDS, not hundreds, of hours, and I still have shite luck. It does not depend on grinding time.

Some people are just unlucky. Period.
