so I love how this game has "Random RNG" let me explain further I have started out on PC a few weeks back, and hit CP a week or two ago and now finally I can have some survivability in vet dungeons. So I did COA to get my skoria helmet. Which is the only monster helmet I currently own until today when I got a maw of infernal helmet, now as I used up 9 undaunted keys to get the shoulder for it, I find it funny it gave me EVERY other shoulder piece of a monster set that I did NOT have the helmet to! Is this really RNG? Or does some calculation go up based off of what you have in your inventory to decrease your odds? Lol I just find this simply hilarious as to how it's random RNG at this point. I should of tried to use 5 keys to unlock that specific shoulder piece however I did not have 5 keys to use. Just thought I would share this "RNG" LOL

Stanx✭✭✭✭It's totally random but I feel your pain.
Once got the piece I needed on first try (Grothdarr divines medium). Gave me some false optimism about drop rates. Then it took me about 30 keys to get one Selene drop in a bad trait. This was when they used chests but imagine RNG works the same.Edited by Stanx on May 15, 2020 11:43PMXBOX EU

✭✭✭✭✭With RNG, there is no middle ground. You are either happy or pissed off.
Last two undaunted store purchases were exactly the right shoulder type and weight.

Universe✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭There should be a better solution than RNG.
I doubt it very much that RNG is the best solution for item drops.
Though I guess RNG will always be around in ESO.Some videos I recorded for fun: Main character:
PC EU main: Universe - AD magicka Sorcerer, Former Emperor, Grand Overlord, The Merciless, Trial Bosses Solo Champion
Top alts: Genius(stamina/sagicka Dragonknight) The Force(stamina Nightblade) and other chars.
PC NA main: The Magic - AD magicka Sorcerer
Started playing ESO in beta & early access

They said started out on PC, implying they have been on console until now. -

✭No way RNG is random in ESO. Algorithm most of the time drops trash so that you keep on farming.
e.g, Burning Spellweave Inferno staff is one of the most sought after staves in the game. And guess what? Drop rates are ridiculously low. -

Yeah, lately I've begun to doubt that, too. It's not quite the same but remember that two times in the last few months/weeks the Golden had the exact monster helmets that were due for a nerf, such as Iceheart (I don't quite recall the other one, since it was something that I personally don't use, but I know that I saw people in the weekly "What does the Golden sell?" thread being ticked off about it).
RNG, as the name says, should be completely random, but sometimes there seem to be too many "coincidences" that seem to imply otherwise. Maybe they're really nothing but coincidences, but... you never know.This poor little Bosmer stealth passive had passionate friends and a big loving family! -

✭✭✭You probably just neglected to make the proper offerings to the RNG gods. I don't know what they are, but in order to find that out you're going to need a pair of dice, a deck of cards, three roulette wheels and a camel born on a Tuesday."The man who learns only what others know is as ignorant as if he learns nothing. The treasures of knowledge are the most rare, and guarded the most harshly." -

Wednesday.
Because Wednesday is hump day. You don't want a camel with no hump. -

MrGhosty✭✭✭✭They just need to put specific set items in an undaunted vendor with a selection that changes weekly the same time as the Golden in PvP. Not a perfect solution, but it would alleviate the grind somewhat and keep dungeons relevant."It is a time of strife and unrest. Armies of revenants and dark spirits manifest in every corner of Tamriel. Winters grow colder and crops fail. Mystics are plagued by nightmares and portents of doom."
