Briarheart Jewelry and Wrothgar Daily Rewards

techprince

Only ways to obtain them is by doing dailies, or treasure chests. Of course one can buy from traders but purple robust ring costs alot thanks to negligence of developers towards the availability.
Adding salt to the injury, daily reward boxes gives NON-SET ITEMS.
Adding rock salt to the injury, jewelry drops in ARCANE, HEALTHY and ROBUST instead of ROBUST only.

For everyone's sake, remove useless non-set items from reward boxes and remove healthy and arcane drops from loot tables...

Retraiting overland gear instead of trial gear goes against what overland stands for..

Damn it feels good to be rich

Heaven forbid that a rare item, be rare!

Edit:- (Personally I farmed the body pieces for this rather than the jewels)

Have you heard of the Holy Transmutation Station of the Brass Fortress?

If you don't have Summerset, you're forced to farm your jewelry, so if you decide on Briarheart being your body set, then you're using two dropped sets, and crafting one isn't an option.

Rare isn't a simple yes/no thing. There are degrees of rarity, and the Briarheart rings are a bit excessive.

Rings? Try farming for Daggers. Of any trait. That's the rare one

There's a quest that gives a dagger. It's in the ice floe area whose name escapes me at the moment.

Oh no! A meta chaser is mad because his meta items are hard to find! So unexpected! So meta!

Dude... I'll tell you what... This is a MMO. What separates the kids from the grown ups here is patience. Better stuff will be harder to get. Grind for it, the loot is somewhat predictable. You said so yourself, you know you need to open chests, so go open chests. Go do the quests. Or fork the bank and pay the bill. Or, and pay attention to this one, you could not chase meta. OR, and this one might be even more surprising, you can have briarheart other pieces and try to get jewelry from other set, say a crafted one or whatever other one you're farming. You can also mix and match, as long as both your sets have 5 pieces, it doesn't need to be exactly how your metabuild target described it. There are lots of easier to find briargeart parts. Maybe go for those.

And lastly.... Research the basic jewelry traits. Will cost you 2k max to buy them all, and 4 days to research. Then get a few transmute stones and go be happy. There... I just saved you a LOT of grinding and/or money.

Enjoy.

aside from the daggers I just buy my jewelry ...not too bad IMO

Wrong. I have 5 pieces briarheart on body and hunding's on jewelry and weapons. Crafting is an option. Ask guildies to craft for you if you can't.

True, but you can only wear one of those, so the other still needs to be farmed.

VaranisArano

Buy Briarheart in Arcane. Transmute to Robust.

Or embrace the hybrid.

The Orsinium jewelry is kind of unique in that it drops in all three traits, and I actually like that. I've used Arcane and Healthy Briarheart jewels at one point or another - not for a meta build, but first for more magicka on my Stam Sorc, and then for an extra health cushion for my first tries at vMA. Its not meta, and its rarely useful, but it's nice difference in those sets.

If they don't like the price on purple robust Briarheart jewelry, I don't think they're going to like the pricing on Hundings jewelry either.
If you have Summerset, buying off trait and transmuting to Infused would be my preferred route.

Huh? o.O I wear two Materre's Bodkins just fine. If you mean you can only get one from quest, then just do same quest on another character, or grab your magicka friend who doesn't need the dagger to do quest together (and get two daggers), or failing all of above, buy that Materre's Bodkin from guild trader (I was lazy and bought my second for 5k gold, though I could've done the quest again) since it's not bound.

kylewwefan

What are you pairing your Briarhearts with? I use VO and it’s probably the best setup available in Maelstrom. VO has easy gold jewelry. Weapons cost me a mint, but seem worth it.

Briarhearts is kind of like BSW for Stam toons. Nice easy proc weapon damage boost. Way easier to buy them daggers then farm a BSW inferno.

Pick up the arcane/ healthy briarhearts jewelry cheap and transmute. It pairs ok with Relequen too, but so does leviathan.

John_Falstaff

@kylewwefan , I pair with VO too, yup, it's really an awesome vMA setup. Can also recommend that pairing, and it eliminates the need for jewelry. Easy to proc off cooldown, bursty, what's not to like. (And again, daggers are free, available from a small side quest.)

I tried pairing Briarheart with other sets too, but I feel it works best as a part of my lightweight 'sustain & survivability' setup with VO - for Maelstrom, for overland, sometimes for dungeoning (I put it on either in easy dungeons, or in hard spots where I struggle for sustain and don't need highest damage, or in some peculiar spots - like crypt part of vDSA).

Briarheart is considered among the top Stam sets.It's a set that can be obtained without participating in group content, a set which you can pick up solo. So IMO it's not excessive, the difficulty in picking it up is justified if you consider this.

This is why these accessories, in the right trait can go for 150k+ - supply/demand, short supply, high demand = rare and/or expensive.

If you don't mind my asking, in an attempt to provide solution to your ongoing torture (which, I do absolutely sympathize with) - what is the other dropped set you're using?

I have not tried these specific daggers but I can't sport two staffs from another dropped set unique. If course this is on different bars, so that might make a difference

I'm not sure if that's true for staves, feels weird to me if it is so. (And on different bars, it makes even less sense, because off-bar weapon is not even considered to be equipped at the given moment.) But I can testify that two named Briarheart daggers on DW bar work perfectly fine, and I'm pretty sure that a pair of named quest-awarded Spriggan's daggers work just as well.

kringled_1

The dagger is named but not flagged as unique. Bar does not matter for a unique item (I can't equip two grievous leeching ward for example).

Defilted

Not sure if this was said already. The best way to get Briarheart is through the chest drops and not the dailes. You can get a lot of drops in a short period of time. Any time I have farmed BH which has not been a long time now I ran the chest run in the southern area. Try that and see if this gets you results faster.

Also hitting all the world bosses regardless of quest between running through the chests is a nice way to boost your results.

That’s what I was thinking. Like it wouldn’t let you have 2 in your inventory same as the grievous leeching Ward.

Thats not the point. Point is availability. Its a medium set and only medium armor users use it. Arcane and Healthy traits are useless.

Already using retraited named daggers. Got them as a reward for free.

It used to be that you couldn't carry two of the same "unique" (named set pieces) items at the same time but they changed that a while back.

kringled_1

Unique pieces are all named, but not all named pieces are unique. Last I checked, a few months ago, you could still not carry two unique pieces. The bodkin (named Briarheart dagger) is not unique though.

d8rmir

Anyway, OP has a point: this is the only stamina sets that still drops jewelry in multiple traits...

If you haven't, check with your guild, they may have squirreled one away in their guild hall.

John_Falstaff

@Danksta , ah, I should've guessed; I know unique pieces but I hardly ever see named gear pieces marked unique, hence the confusion. With me it's mostly treasure maps and various other baubles (like event berries or feathers).

And also yes, @techprince , if you intend to transmute (and as stamina, you may want to eventually transmute into infused / bloodthirsty anyway), then you benefit by buying the less-demanded arcane or healthy for cheap. Win.

It is true for staves, it appears, as I've tried equipping a number of named staves on front and back bar and was unsuccessful.

On the other hand (see what I did there?), I've found only one named 1h weapon that I've been unable to equip two of at the same time: Madcaller's Blade of the Red Mountain.

At least, though, with the staves and daggers you can have two of them in the same inventory at the same time, whether it be character or bank, unlike the Lord Warden's shield "Grievous Leeching Ward."

Maybe someday ZoS will, ahem, standardize unique items.

The Healthy jewelry isn't useless at all. I use Healthy Briarheart jewelry on my stamsorc PvP build.
