Southern Elsweyr Dragonguard Supply Chest Only Giving Normal Flowers Not Dragon Rheum Anymore?

SerraKBella

Has there been some change in the Southern Elsweyr Dragonguard supply chest that it is only giving normal flowers (Columbine, Lady's Smock, Mountain Flower, Water Hyacinth) instead of the Dragon Rheum, Dragon's Bile, Dragon's Blood? I have noticed the last two days that it was regular flower materials instead of the normal dragon material drops. Did I miss this in patch notes or has there always been a cycle to the drops that I just haven't paid enough attention too?

Thank you. I am so glad the dragon materials are still dropping from the box. It must have just been some bad RNG luck for me. Hopefully tomorrow's drop will be back to normal.

There aren't any guaranteed drops in that chest.

And there is a 24h cooldown on the motifs. Maybe there are CDs on some of the pricier mats too?

there was a 20 hour cooldown on the new moon priest stylepages, but that was removed 1 or 2 updates ago.
Since then though the motif drop is no longer guaranteed.

Correct. The 20hr CD with guaranteed motif drop was a bug and patched months ago.

[EDIT: The info I provided below is apparnetly wrong according to follow up replies. Please ignore. Leaving in thread for posterity ]

Now it's a 24hr CD with no chance of a drop in 24hr and moderate chance of drop every 24hr. The reason you have to pay attention to the 24hr CD is because the chest resets daily at 2AM EST and not 24hr after you last opened it. So, you can end up screwing yourself out of a motif drop chance if you open it too soon.

Thanks everyone. It was definitely within in the same 24 hour period. The only reason I noticed was because I didn't get the motif page on either day, as well. I knew the drop rate had been changed, but consoled myself with at least getting the Dragon alchemy materials. So getting neither for two days I was worried things had changed.

Plus I made this post in the middle of the night when I was really tired and not thinking as rationally as I am now in the cold light of day. Making a new thread after only a two day pattern seems a little irrational now. Much appreciated.

Where are you getting this information about a 24-hour cooldown? Just a few minutes ago I drew a second NMP page within 24 hours. It isn't guaranteed at all, but there doesn't appear to be a cooldown any longer.

There's no cooldown on motif anymore, only chest cooldown, which is either on timed reset or on 20h like horsies.
There was separate cooldown, though, which could cause missing out on motif page if you opened chest too early.

Ok. Apparently I had and provided wrong information then. Thanks for correcting me. I'm almost certain I read that was the change from someone at ZoS in the forums or on a stream awhile back. Anyway I edited my post to note that my info on 24h CD was incorrect.
