Now that curated drops is here, i personally don't see any further need for the Golden Merchant to sell Monster Set shoulder pieces.
I've mentioned this before, and people said no, and they went on about RNG, but now that's not an issue anymore. Players could save up keys and get shoulders alot more easily now without RNG chewing up their keys.
The Golden Merchant should now just sell Monster Set head pieces. No more waiting
for weekends to just get a shoulder piece you could've gotten within that week with keys.

I'm personally looking forward to shoulder-pieces weekends since I don't really PvE much and I don't have many keys lying around...
Also I know a lot of PvPers using only Golden Merchant items when they are available12 -

As opposed to yourself I do find utility in Adhazabi selling shoulders. I would very much like her to continue doing so.14 -

✭Shoulders are in the sticker book, therefore subject to curated drops surely not?
I was after a certain shoulder piece and bought coffers from Undaunted. I got all but the one medium shoulder I needed. 5/6 completed. Unless thats just sheer luck (which i doubt), my guess is that coffers are curated, which is good!0 -

No they aren't. It was explicit that coffers from undaunted, rewards of the worthy etc are not curated. Only stuff you get from bosses or their equivalent chest for something like maelstrom arenaSoupy twist10 -

✭✭✭✭✭I may be wrong, but monster shoulders come from containers, right ? I think that only bosses loot and bosses "chests" (that spawn after you kill a boss) are curated. Treasure chests, thieves troves, daily quest reward boxes and containers in general are still RNG based and not curated. This means that Monster Shoulders are not Curated.
However I do believe that gold vendor should be updated. There are a lot of old monster helmets sets that never appeared there (like zaan for example). Also, gold vendor selling dungeon dlc jewellery does not make much sense.
- If you buy it from gold vendor and you don't own the dungeon dlc, you are not gonna use it.
- If you own the dungeon dlc you are more likely to farm it yourself & upgrade jewellery to gold quality.
^ This makes me believe that Gold Vendor should have additional item added, so we would also have random dungeon / dlc dungeon armour / weapon item.1 -

✭Anything that comes from containers and chests (including the Undaunted containers) is NOT curated. It states this specifically in the update patch notes.
So yes, the fact that you got what you wanted was the luck of RNG. I would try opening coffers again; your RNG lucky streak is likely to wear off and you'll get junk you already have again.

__________________________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.

I suspect you don't see the need because you do dungeons regularly. Many of us don't, and on the rare chance I do, it generally isn't for an Undaunted pledge, so I basically never earn keys. I would rather wait to see/buy them on The Golden than deal with daily pledges. So a big no from me on your idea, unless they implement another way to earn those keys.
Also, I do not follow your logic, why would you be waiting for a weekend to buy your shoulders, if you have the keys needed to purchase them from an undaunted vendor? What would removing them from The Golden vendor solve for you?
And finally my wife, who does do pledges, got numerous duplicate shoulders before the one she was after showed up... just 3 days ago. So fairly positive they aren't curated.2 -

You wait for the weekend hoping it's a monster helmet, and it's not, it's shoulders, but i could buy shoulders during the week. That's what I meant.

Ahh... I think I understand. Basically you do normal dungeons, not vet, and want helms on The Golden weekly so you have more choices. Oddly, I am the opposite, when I do a dungeon (rarely as stated previously), it is on vet to get a specific helmet, and I use The Golden to get my shoulders, because I don't collect keys. Just a different playstyle and way of going about getting stuff. Unfortunately, your suggestion would pretty much wreck how I (and many others) do things, and if anything was to be removed to fit my playstyle, I would prefer The Golden not have helmets in order to increase the number of shoulders available. But I wouldn't suggest that, because I think the balanced approach ZOS chose that caters to everyone... is better.Edited by Kwoung on November 22, 2021 5:13PM3 -
npuk✭✭✭The Golden Merchant should now just sell Monster Set head pieces.
As nice as that would be, it would loose a bit of the prestige of getting a monster head that otherwise you would have had to work hard for in a dudgeon, especially the DLC ones, it also gives access to DLC content with no DLC needed.
One workaround would be to have a weekly IC-Vendor that had a DLC helm each week, but it would only drop in one weight and you can only buy it with TelVar.

If that is the problem you have, then the easier solution would be to simply give the Golden Vendor an assistant NPC to help her sell things. So that she will sell you shoulders and her assistant will sell you helms. Or even simply increase the number of items she offers per week to include both shoulders and helms.
Wouldn't that solve your problem just as well instead of deleting shoulders completely from her stock?4 -
Remathilis✭✭✭✭✭
✭It would be nice if there was always 1 helm and 1 shoulder per week, rather than both helms or both shoulders...1 -
Oreyn_Bearclaw✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Yeah, I recently dropped like 40 keys into the DLC vendor trying to fill out my stickerbook. They are definitely not guaranteed. Still missing 2, one from DLC, one from Non-DLC. Plan at this point is to just wait until they are in the golden. Not going to keep blowing keys for the small chance the last one drops from two separate vendors. Please leave them how they are. Your premise is faulty.
If anything the should stop selling the Head Pieces, because those are guaranteed now to get a weight you don't have. I presume the reason they are in the PVP vendor is to give a PVP option for what is otherwise PVE gear. So ultimately, best to leave them alone.Edited by Oreyn_Bearclaw on November 22, 2021 6:32PM0 -

You were obviously missing a whole lot of shoulders then. The more you own the less likely you will get a new one when you open the grab bag. My wife tried 10 of them, every one a duplicate of something she had previously collected. Quick math said it was more effective to just buy the 5 key bag than continue to waste keys on getting stuff she already collected.1 -

Gonna guess you were missing a lot of shoulders.
If your goal is to fill the stickerbook, then yes, the one key boxes are the way to go until you only have a few left. If you need a specific shoulder, then the 5 keys are generally better.
For example, I only need one shoulder from the DLC vendor. Statistically, I am better off spending on the 5 key boxes at this point, but the math is closer than you would expect.1 -

Yeah, you would think that spending more at a time would increase he odds considerably, but that isn't really the case. And yup, if you are new and have not collected a ton of sets, you are definitely better off buying the 1 key grab bags. Like you though, my wife and I both have collected a pretty large chunk of the available monster helms/shoulders. We would probably have them all, if ZOS included all sets in The Golden's rotation though, which they don't.

Shoulders arent curated. Helmets on the other hand are. Which means that if you remove something it should be the helmets because you can target farm them with a maximum of 3 runs, while shoulders are heavily reliant on luck and require alot more work to be put in keys.
