    Day 3 I am now 1 fragment for 3 boxes.
    This is my day 3 box. Thanks ZOS.

    So I'm guessing we get 3 tickets per day SO THAT we can spend them on Fragments. If that's the plan, great. But you wanna tell us to expect that?
    Or I guess people can catch up on rat-faced-mount feathers and such. I got 1 Nascent, 3 berries, 4 feathers... I guess it's jelly frags if I get more tickets now.

    1 Strongbox/1 memento fragment
    First day I get pet fragment from "guaranteed" strongbox, next day I get this trash from it, I didn't get any additional strongboxes those days despite doing many daily of four characters, killing enemies and collecting nodes.
    Seems RNG is terrible, putting one RNG inside another RNG and prevent fragment trading is horrible design decision, add on top of that maintenance during time limited event, so that's will be impossible to collect event memento or pet.

    Third day I get this, if I really want such thing I would just pickpocket it from inhabitants of Murkmire, why such items in "guaranteed" strongboxes?

    Only 1 (the mandatory) box, didn't bother to open, since the contents of boxes level with the character and I was playing a lowbie at the time.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    Day 1 - 1 fragment (grave stake)
    Day 2 - 2 fragments (voriplasm)
    Day 3 - nothing

    Casual exploration while doing dailies there on a couple characters netted zero bonus strongboxes. Should be able to finish one of the collectibles with tickets, but not both and if I cared about the Indri, would be SOL.

    I think you nailed it there. The main way of acquiring the memento and pet was intended to be tickets with a small chance of acquiring some through daily boxes. It's kind of like the Indrik mount that way and they could have been a bit more transparent with that. For example, they could have said,

    "Explore a swampy paradise during the Murkmire Celebration event! Earn 3 event tickets daily by killing mobs (random but very high chance) and use these tickets on Spectral Indrik berries, Nascent Indrik feathers or fragments for 2 new items. An exclusive memento and pet! In addition, you may be lucky enough to find some of these fragments in a strongbox container. One strongbox is guaranteed when you pick up your daily tickets and you could be extremely lucky and very rarely find extra strongboxes per day (0.01% chance).

    Five strongboxes, two fragments.

    Prior events have been decent, I daresay that comparatively, they've been great!

    The Undaunted event was absolute trash, and I figured it was a start of even worse to come. This though? You can't even trade the damn fragments you get as drops!

    If I knew the fragment collectibles system was gonna turn to this, I'd rather have taken the fewer inventory spots for holding them on me.

    If this is the way events are headed, where hard work (and I mean hard work, like farming for *** with EFFORT) won't pay off save for a small baubble worth 100 gold? Yeah, no. I'm not gonna spend Crowns on those *** tickets.

    ALSO, FUN MATH:

    Let's assume you've *** RNG and don't get a single fragment as a drop. The event earns you 39 tickets total. Each of the collectibles cost 35 tickets total (five per fragment). If you opt to not get the Indrik and pray that the coming event won't have such a trash system (which I do sincerely quite highly doubt it won't!), that means you get One of the mementos for "free" (gee, thanks), and four tickets.

    One ticket costs 250 Crowns. To get the other collectible, you will need 31 tickets. This totals to 250*31=7750 Crowns. Assuming a street price of Crowns being 200:1 (or thereabouts, depending on who you buy from), that totals to 1,550,00 gold!

    Fun, right?

    Thanks for another trash event, yo. I'm not paying for this garbage.

    One box every day with one fragment each day, no extra boxes, granted has not really farmed this. Just done some questing and done delves and boxes.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    On average it is something like 2 out of 3 Strongboxes do not have fragments. However, this ratio gets worse, the more fragments you have colected (at 1st it was 1 out of 2). Since I did not had any dupicates yet, and I can not find any other people who had duplicateds, I think that the games simply gives you random treasure / motif mats instead of giving you diplicate fragment.
