Are curated drops working in vateshran?

gariondavey

I just did it and got a vateshran greatsword in the final chest, which I already have collected in my book.

I heard that arenas don't have curated drops, from a friend.

What's the scoop?

Nanfoodle

I'm maybe wrong but I thought I read this does not apply to chests.

gariondavey

I guess if that's the case I'll just never go in maelstrom or vateshran again. I really want missing pieces but doing it without a guarantee of something I don't have is just sheer madness.

redspecter23

The chests associated with the bosses should be curated. In Maelstrom the definitely are. I assume the same in Vateshran. There could be some other bug you're experiencing, but you should generally receive a new item from a boss specific chest in arenas if it drops something you still need.

gariondavey

Ok so this is really weird. There was an icon for the vate greatsword in my stickerbook saying it is new to me, but I've been using a vate greatsword for a year. Very strange.

Is it possible the one you were using was from normal and you just did vet?
Arena final chests are definitely curated in my experience.

I was just wondering that myself. If you had the normal vateshran greatsword, you'd have to run vet again to get the perfected version.

When the curated system started I was already on the MA quest. I only had to finish the final arena. And I was rewarded with an already collected greatsword (I only had 2 weapons, the other one was the bow). Every run after that one gave me a unknown MA weapon, except for the shield. That dropped 3 times because I was missing most one handed weapons from the S+B set. So it might not work when you have an old arena quest. I'd suggest you start an new one. I think it will work the same for the other arena's.

Last week I did a lot of runs to get the Inferno staff.The second-last dropped the inferno staff. I did one more run to complete the normal MA weapon collection. Bye bye MA, I think you won't see me for quite some time ;-p

Moving to Vateshran, but I'm a bit scared because I heard it is bugged. Is this true ?

Definitely working, I collected all the missing pieces (arena weapons and 5p sets) in expected amount of runs without failure.

Still no luck with it working properly in AA and HRC (haven't ran SO, but assume it might be similar), unless it's V and HM for some reason.

It's not working at all. I got 8 drops in a dungeon where I still need 34 pieces......only ONE of those drops was actually new for me. The other 7 were already collected. Broken.

Only the last boss item is curated

If you're only missing weapons, obviously the only new drop will be from the last boss that can drop weapons.

The last pieces you are often missing are the weapons, which mainly drop from the last boss.

That is not true.

Every boss is curated.

But, every boss has it's own drop table and can only drop items from that table, nothing else.

Mini bosses will drop either a hand, waist, or feet set piece.
Bosses will drop either a chest, shoulder, head or leg set piece.
The final Boss of a dungeon will drop weapons or jewelry.

A mini boss can never drop anything outside of that list. So even if you still have 34 pieces left, if they are not Hand, waist, or feet, mini bosses will never drop a piece you don't have because you have already dropped everything in their loot table.

Do you have a source for that? From what I recall, only last bosses in dungeons (not what this thread is about) were curated.

Edit - I see from other comments people are talking about weapons being curated for the last boss. This might be what I was thinking regarding dungeons. But I don't remember hearing other bosses were going to drop stuff you didn't have (obviously not weapons).

I don't have a written source in patch notes or anything, but it was my experience in the recent Undaunted Event. The mini-bosses were giving me uncollected stuff at first, but I exhausted their loot tables pretty quickly. The regular bosses took a little longer to stop getting new items. And final bosses are still nowhere near complete because there is only 1 final boss and there are like 50 item pieces that only drop from final boss.

I noticed this because whenever I get something I don't have, I right-click and bind it. That collects it immediately and I don't have to worry about next boss dropping it again. When Undaunted Event started, I was frequently binding items from non-final bosses, and then racing to catch up because in the 5 seconds it would take me to bind, my group mates would be 3 rooms past me. But by end of Undaunted Event, I never had to stop and bind. I had all the body pieces that drop in Wayrest and Elden and so on.

Thanks! The mystery just remains why I got a greatsword I already had on normal.

Is it possible you had a maul or battle axe?

gariondavey

Had all 3 previous. I'm willing to try 1 more time tonight and hopefully it proves that this was just a 1 off problem.

Did you get a greatsword on veteran that you had already got on normal? Those are different items (the veteran one has an extra stat bonus).

LashanW

The system can still bug out and give you an item that you already have. It's pretty rare though.

Thank you, I suspected as much.
