Ebonsteel Drop rate

Michae✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭I only got pants so far, after 4 hours of farming Molag Bal. Then nothing after two hours of sewer bosses. Guess I'll buy the rest for tickets and from guild stores."I bear the cruel weight of certainty. Total, absolute, relentless certainty. People rarely comprehend the luxury of doubt... the freedom that comes with indecision. I envy you."

✭✭✭Spend yesterday trying to farm bosses in IC.. Got 1 piece and to the set I don't like.
Given the risk of farming IC (4+ million health, one shots, PVP players around) it should be guarenteed drop since you have to farm 2 full motif sets.
At this point I'm just gonna spend my tickets to get the Ebonsteel set and sacrifice the new skin, Legion set and dog pets.1 -

Michaelkeir✭✭✭✭✭-Update-
After farming for a whole day (8 hours) I can say that I documented approximately 63 boss kills and no drops from that day. (City district boss’s, no sewer boss’s) Could have gotten more kills but gankers, ball groups, and packs of werewolves were rampant in them streets.
So in total I’ve got almost 200+ boss kills in over 3 days and only 2 drops which were the chest piece and helmet. Using my daily event tickets has netted me all but the shoes and belt. Buying the shoes after I do my daily today after work. I’ll just catch the belt on the market when the price drops from 100k.
In short. Don’t waste your energy farming. It’s a complete waste of time if you going for the drops. Just do the mayhem dailies for the tickets and go about your business.2 -

✭✭Yesterday I had terrible luck, 7 upstairs boss kills, 3 stationary in sewers, 0 drops of any style page. Today saw a bit of a turn around, 5 upstairs kills for 2 pages. I think I can spend tickets on 2 more so that should get me most but not all of the set.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I killed 20 or 25 bosses last night, around 40-50 so far for the event, only got 1 page to drop from a Molag Bal flag boss last night.0 -
Fennwitty✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭The last MyM styles were so much easier to get by comparison. I think someone got a few decimal points wrong on the coding for this one's drop rate.
I agree with an earlier poster, just give up on Ebonsteel. IC is already of questionable entertainment value to me as it is (prefer Cyro).
Very odd that's the ONLY place to get the style pages as drops out of the entire event but the drop rate is acting like it should come from pelinal rewards based on frequency.Edited by Fennwitty on February 2, 2021 3:43PMPC NA0 -

I've just been farming bosses in Imp City while waiting for my Cyrodil Queue to pop. Or if I only have an hour or so to play and don't have time for pvp.
Plus, I've found the Imp City tel var farming during the event to be a useful side farm while farming for the motif, since I can use it to fill out my sticker book.0 -
Inarre✭✭✭✭✭
✭I must be getting closer to 40~ bosses and only have seen 3 legion styles from last mayhem and 1 of the new styles. Zos must really want to sell their event tickets....0 -
Soleya✭✭✭✭✭
✭They really should just drop in the Pelinal boxes. The event is about PVP, not killing bosses. The more PVP you do, the more Pelinal boxes, the better chance to get them.4 -
Gylzyn✭✭✭There's loads listed in guild traders (pc EU) so they are plenty dropping
Nope. There are plenty of Second Legion motifs but not Ebonsteel. Again another evening spent farming bosses (though managed to get the Sewers achievement at least) but didn't get a single Ebonsteel motif. Others in the large group had similar experiences. But several Second Legion ones dropped.Edited by Gylzyn on February 2, 2021 10:27PM2 -

I've noticed the drop rate is exceptionally low. I've yet to have on of the bosses drop a page at all, so I've stuck to just buying them with tickets

✭✭✭✭So far I have only found 4 ebonsteel motives. Luckily all different ones, so only 3 to go for me. Did take well over 100 bosses, could even be near 200 as I didn't take score.
But yes, the droprate for ebonsteel is extremely low.0 -

__________________________Backstories:_________________________
Ras Kalik the Vestige, a renown Redguard warrior; He has been blessed to save Tamriel from Molag Bal’s destructive Planemeld while reuniting the Five Companions. His further accomplishments after defeating Molag Bal, has been to stop the destruction of Morrowind, the Clockwork City, return order to the isle of Summerset and create a new king in Wrothgar and a queen in Elsywer. These events have made him a living legend and continue to lead him into new adventures throughout Tamriel, as well as into the hearts of many ladies including the Elf Queen, Aryenn. Over many years of adventurous travels, Ras Kalik had become a loner, until he re-visited his homeland of Alik'r.
Alik'r and it's cities were overrun by the undead Ra-Netu and therefore he made an allegiance with Alik'r's own Ash'abah tribe. These Ash'abah with his help, cleansed the city of Sentinel in Alik'r desert and it's surrounding areas of the undead brought to life by the Withered Hand. After rescuing Sentinel from the undead zombies, King Fahara’jad’s personal bodyguard the Goliath of Hammerfell, who was given this name by Imperials in the region; was asked to assist the tribe after learning of the defeat of the Withered Hand to the Ash'abah. Kalik promised Goliath he would task him with fighting living enemies on the battlefield if he so desired. Goliath being a Yokudan warrior wields a massive sword in respect to the Ansei, a gift given by the Imperial, Cinan Tharn. Not many soldiers are able to wield double two handed weapons, but Goliath loves to get up and personal in a fight, so he also carries a giant maul, both weapons laced with magical flames.
Jux Blackheart is a master thief that masquerades as a Bard at the Sisters of the Sands inn, with his younger sidekick Lucky Hunch for pilfering and gambling during this time. Jux was known to infiltrate any towns bank vault he came across and even delved into Ayelid ruins without detection. Kalik can vividly recall the night he met the famed thief. Jux found himself rummaging thru a slightly inebriated Kalik’s pocket for too long, on a full-mooned night and because of his greed and the glimmer of his golden armor in the moonlight. He lost his left pinky fingertip as a lesson! But in return, he gained a new friend, as it was his first time since a child being caught red-handed...
Upon arrival back in the Alik'r after many moons of adventuring, Ras Kalik ventures to Bergama. Visiting The Winking Jackal, he runs into Jux Blackheart, who introduces him to the coin game Crowns vs Forebearers (Heads vs Tails) and Golden Dwemer (RBG).... Jux constantly takes gold from the unfortunate thru theft or gambling, his biggest gambling victim is actually his partner in crime known as Lucky Hunch the Gambler. Lucky doesn't mind losing any gold coins to Jux... as Jux saved him from Altmer slavers in Summerset, by stealing a key and sending him on a boat to the mainland years prior. Lucky spent years in slavery with Khajiits in Summerset and picked up the art of subterfuge, using illusion magic disguises and stealing there.
Kaotik Von’Daemon an outcast, and a half-caste between a Breton mother and a Redguard father. Kaotik become a pariah due to his conjuration of Daedra pets. He was taught healing magic during his childhood years by his Breton mother. His father due to Redguard customs exiled him from the desert, sending him by wagon caravan to be a soldier in the war in Cyrodiil. He happened to meet Kalik while traveling from Alik'r, during this long caravan ride the caravan he was in was ambushed in Bangkorai by a group of bandits. Kalik by chance was also traveling thru this area on his Auridon Warhorse (which was bestowed to him by his friend, Darien Gautier). During this ambush, Kalik was able to rescue five hostages from the bandits. Kaotik was the first rescued, and Ras Kalik also recruited him to be in the Ash'abah tribe. These core Ash'abah tribesmen may never be seen together in travel as they partake in their own adventures but they always know what each other is doing; as they frequent a hideout in northern Bankorai. Their hideout an old Orc castle ruin, is kept watch by Nuzhimeh and she passes messages written between them, and frequently they also enjoy her company and her bed.
The other men rescued were a Dunmer banker, an Imperial mercenary and two other soldiers, an Imperial and a Breton Knight, stating proudly he was an Akavir descendent. One of the Imperials, Cinan, claimed to be related to Abnur Tharn the Battlemage of the Imperial Elder Council (One of Ras Kalik's mentors in the Five Companions). Cinan Tharn was really Abnur's drunkard treasure hunting illegitimate son. He was caught smuggling artifacts out of the Ayleid ruins in Cyrodiil and the elder of the two Imperials was Tyrus Septim a retired Imperial navy battle-mage (now a Lycan mercenary living in the city of Rimmen) and guard to the Tharn family. As much as Abnur Tharn hated his half-sister Euraxia, he dislikes his bas†ard son Cinan more. Tyrus now a ruffian and privateer had been paid by Abnur Tharn to watch over Cinan as much as possible. Cinan Tharn a drunkard, loves to drink at least a quarter barrel of Nord mead before he raids various delves and dungeons for relics to sell on the black market. Cinan also plans to one day, run an illegal gambling ring... which he thinks will net him more gold for his wares.
The Dunmer captive shackled to the Imperials looked familiar to Kalik from his time in Morrowind.... and he recognized him as Tythis Andromo a House Telvanni slave-owner and banker from Vvardenfell. During a rough interrogation to Tythis, Ras Kalik learnt why the bandits accosted him. The racist Dunmer was providing slaves as soldiers for the Three Banner War. The bandits were trying to negotiate a lucrative ransom for Andromo and the Imperials.... Kalik did not need any of this gold and he could never set Tythis free as he did with the two Imperial soldiers. His past involvement with slavery and war crimes, made Kalik's blood boil. He chose not to execute Tythis, as he figured the worse punishment for this former rich and opulent slave owner, is to now be an imprisoned servant for Ras Kalik and the tribe.
Herzog Zwei the Genesis a reknown Imperial/Akavirri battle-mage. His roots going back to Akavir through his mother’s bloodline. (His mother is descended from the Akaviri, through Versidue-Shae, and his Imperial father met her in Hakoshae, while traveling) Herzog earned the nickname "the Genesis" from his father as a child, as he was his mother's first born child, and last, as she tragically died in child-birth.
Herzog was seeking to purchase an artifact from Cinan Tharn, before their capture and was meeting Tyrus while in Rimmen, who introduced him to Cinan. This artifact being the Ayelid artifact; the sword Sinweaver. After their rescue and the exchange of gold to Cinan for the sword he decided to slip away before Ras Kalik could question who he was, and why the Akavir descendant really wanted that sword. Herzog was headed to Nagastani — An Ayleid ruin in eastern Cyrodiil. He had read in scrolls that the Sword would give him magical powers to meet his mothers spirit, if he performed an Ayleid ritual at an old shrine hidden there. Equipped with the artifact sword, he was off to start his own adventure but Ras Kalik, did indeed notice the sword however and instead sent a letter to Jux Blackheart (whom also was interested in Ayleid treasures), to attempt to find Herzog and acquire the sword. (*Azani Blackheart in Elder Scroll's Oblivion is Jux's descendant some 747 years later)
And so the Redguard, Imperial and Akaviri men parted ways ... While Ras Kalik went off to Elsweyr to encounter the latest threat to Tamriel, with Abnur Tharn and Sai Sahan - - DRAGONS!! Little did Ras Kalik know a few people were awaiting him in Senchal besides Sai. A necromancer survived his attack on the Withered Hand, while in Alik'r. The necromancer known as Auriek Siet'ka is also following him to the land of the Khajiits and Cacique the Sage of Ius a Shaman mystic who has become attuned spiritually with Tu'whacca (a Redguard God) and Ius (the Animal God), after being burned severely by the escaped dragons in Elsywer, is awaiting his arrival also. Aurik is a soldier of the Daggerfall Covenant that was introduced to necromancy while in the military, even though this magicka art is not spoken of openly by most of the Military leaders. He came to Alik'r and worked with the Withered Hand before Ras Kalik intervened on their plans. After the defeat of the Withered Hand, he aligned with the Worm Cult, and is constantly adapting and perfecting his necromantic arts.
After his journey to Rimmen, Kalik heads south to Senchal, in the southern regions of Elyswer. This new adventure will also put him on a path to meet a strange Redguard man. The stranger which was infected with an untreated Peyrite disease and also was the exiled from the Order of the New Moon cult, due to his sickness. He originally joined the cult to worship Laatvulon, the green dragon, mistakenly thinking it was the Daedric prince Peyrite. This confused and suffering cultist is known as Tsar al-Bomba and he is on a path to spread the disease. He was originally infected in Orccrest while recruiting members there. Can Ras Kalik and the shaman Cacique cure this poor soul, only time will tell. Little does Tsar al-Bomba know, that his infection is tied to Vampirism, and eventually the desire for blood will take over his mind. Senchal also offers Kalik his latest love interest... Aeliah. Whom he fondly led thru battles with the Dragonguard.
After the trek thru the heat, tropical and desert climate of Northern and Southern Elyswer, Ras Kalik heads north to the cold mountain range of Skyrim. His companion friend Lyris beckons for him with a letter sent by crow...
Movárth Piquine - a former vampire hunter (now infected), within the Fighter's Guild (and a secretive necromancer) was in Skyrim working with the Morthaal Guard. On a patrol mission he was caught in Frewien's ice curse outside of Morthaal with the frozen undead. Movárth's vampiric infection kept him from becoming an undead minion to the curse. He was able to use necromantic ice-magic to encase himself safely until he was freed with Freiwen, when the Vestige Ras Kalik broke the curse.
Uri Ice-Heart - brother of Urfon Ice-Heart. The twin sons of Atli and Oljourn Ice-Heart. The Ice-Heart family are originally from Markarth but now reside on the Jerall Mountain range near Cyrodiil, with their younger sister Araki. The twins had joined the Winterborn Reachmen while living in Markarth. Urfon pushed west to Orsinium with the Winterborn Clan, leaving his family behind. Uri stayed behind with his parents and sister to live in the family cabin for safety, avoiding the Vampire plague infiltrating the Reach. After news reaches him and he hears of Urfon's death... Uri leaves and heads home and is seeking vengeance. Meanwhile, his sister has also moved on to Windhelm to join the Fighter's guild. He will visit his sister, once before going to seek vengeance and she will craft him armor mixed with ice, called Stalhrim armor. Uri fearing death, after his brother's passing, falls victim to the convincing talk of Movárth at a Nordic tavern, and will also becomes a vampire.

Maythor✭✭✭✭ZOS can never catch a break, if it's not lag and bugs breaking events .. it's their statisticians choosing drop rates based off of spreadsheets rather than an understanding of in game behaviors and drops rates.
I'm just giving up at this point, the event was OK but it's not my job.

Looking at the wrong traders then
After your post I thought I would go and check late last night. Perhaps I was wrong, I thought. I checked traders in Rimmen, Solitude, Senchal, Wayrest, Rawl'kha, Anvil, Elden Root, Alinor, Daggerfell, Stornhelm, Markarth and Vivec City. A significant number of traders had none. Most had between 1 and 6, priced at between 107K and a million gold. The most Ebonsteel I saw was in Vivec City. But I didn't check every trader admittedly. TTC this morning shows more with prices getting cheaper. No-one is suggesting they don't drop but they don't seem to drop in anywhere near the same proportion as the Second Legion and not as plentiful in my experience, that of others posted here, and those in groups I have played in. And this is a Holiday Event.Edited by Gylzyn on February 3, 2021 11:56AM0 -

Yeh it's a big FU from ZOS. That's why I consider this motifs to not be part of the event/collectible stuff and just ignore them so I can actually enjoy the event. Same with the undaunted head motifs, never seen one in all those years.0 -

MakoRuu✭✭✭✭EP had center of no-CP Imperial City for literally five to six hours. It was basically empty. Just a group of players (including myself) farming bosses and Molag Bal.
I got a runebox for Stonefire scamp and a gold lead after five hours. Not a single Ebonsteel page.1
