    one box and one fragment every day. Don't bother farming
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    I've completed the event collecting all fragments for pet and memento.
    4 parts i had to purchase with tikets i've grinded the rest by killing npc in a dungeon.
    Took me nearly 20 hours of grind (sorcerer dps).

    It's impossible to get duplicates for the items. The one you find are always new ones. The drop ratio for parts has been nearly 50% for me.

    I know many will be pissed about this but it's teorically possible to complete this event in only 2 days.
    The real problem is that zos diden't explain how to grind for the event and that it's nearly impossible for low level characters with little dps.

    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.

    Is there even anything included tied to levels, and if so, would that be worth the wait? :#

    Hmmm maybe not. But I've also played around in Murkmire and never gotten more than one ticket in a day so far.
    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
    Day 4 - nothing
    Day 5 - nothing
    Day 6 - nothing

    There are 6 more days in the event, or 18 more tickets. I currently have 3 tickets after Day 6. At most I can get 4 more fragments with tickets. I am missing half (7) of them. If I do not get a fragment on at half of the remaining days, I cannot complete the event collectibles. Note that I began this event with 7 tickets - enough to purchase 1 fragment - so the picture would be even bleaker had I started with nothing.

    I said I was going to withhold final judgement of this event until the end. After doing the math, I don't think that is necessary. This event is a blatant attempt to shove players into the cash shop and profiteer from events that used to simply be fun celebrations of content. It's deplorable, unethical, and thank gods there are many, many players who are rightly upset by this.

    Someone in one of my guilds has been getting 2 and 3 fragments per box every box.
    They have both the pet and the gravestake now.
    Other people cant even get enough to complete ONE

    I see we now have fragments for another pet in the Jester's Festival
    If getting those fragments are like these, they can flush them down the toilet for all I care.

    NA: 7 boxes, 1 pet fragment, 2 memento fragments. I only care about the pet and it will probably take most of my tickets to complete it. I've bought enough pet fragments now that my odds of getting additional drops are probably getting very low.
    EU: 7 boxes, 3 pet fragments, 2 memento. I'll be able to get the pet here I think.

    Re: fragments:

    I was glad to have the extra inventory space at first, but not being able to pick up and trade duplicates is a real downer.

    I really think the ideal system is what they did with the witch cauldron items this past event-- and maybe one of the other collectibles recently?-- where you receive the items in your inventory first, and then consume them, at which point they go into the fragments collection. It's an extra step, but it's really the perfect system, because if you don't have it yet, you can use it and move it out of your inventory, but if you've already done that/it's a duplicate, then you can still sell the item.

    Right now I'm sitting on 3/4. I got the first three the first three days and since its been vendor trash items that don't even add up to 300 gold. At least the dragons occasionally dropped a 1k item. I'm seriously wondering since its been four days in a row with garbage if they did fiddle with the drop rates. I hate to wonder this but I just don't trust this company any longer. And it may have never been touched but they just give me this feeling of distrust.

    I think running at 50%. 3 pet & 1 stake. 3 or 4 nothings. Nothing from farming...stopped that after first hour. Bought 4 pet with tickets (not store). Not sure how long to go of this but goal now is getting 12 tickets in the bank. Stake stupid.

    Obviously, you get a strongbox once per day. This is the seventh day, and out of those 7 strongboxes, I've gotten 2 Voriplasm frags, 3 Grave Stake frags, and two annoying boxes just full of treasure. I also got only one other strongbox out of the killing of hundreds of things I've done so far in MM, but that did give me a Voriplasm frag. I bought two more Voriplasm frags with tickets, so I'm up to five on those.

    Day 1 - 1 fragment (grave stake)
    Day 2 - 2 fragments (voriplasm)
    Day 3 - nothing
    Day 4 - nothing
    Day 5 - nothing
    Day 6 - nothing
    Day 7 - 1 fragment (voriplasm -> pet completed)

    Missing 6 fragments of the other collectible. Probably won't be able to complete it without paying to win, which is, of course, intentional on the part of the racketeers *cough* I mean monetization designers.
