Black Drake Clanwrap - yet another style with low drop rate?

NotaDaedraWorshipper

It seems styles either drop in hordes or they barely drop at all with barely any balance, and these seem to be on the latter side. Many IC bosses has been slain but not a single page or body/face marking.

Would it be so bad to have them also drop in the boxes? Which are feeling quite boring loot-wise.

Maybe that’s why I can’t find anyone to help my new lowbie toon to farm them.

This one observed that in the Daedric War event, the gold pages rarely dropped until last last few days when they arrived in abundance. Probably a RNG thing to get players to spend tickets on them early on…

That is, rarely dropped in the gold once a day box.

Yeah I am having the same problems, *sigh* might have to wait until next time and get them for 2 tickets from those bags.......

I’ve snagged two drops after many bosses killed. I hate that these drop from IC bosses for the PvP event.

Boss farm groups don't seem to be as well-organized and prevalent compared to previous Mayhem events. I remember having several good groups when Ebonsteel dropped.

By the way, did anyone else notice that the 2nd dye channel of the outfit doesn't seem to dye anything? This seems like a bug to me.

Holy heck you're right, the drop rate is awful.

I went into IC and 14 bosses later with no drop and I couldn't stomach any more.
So boring.
I'll head back to cyro. Don't need/want them that bad!

Chaos2088

I've had zero so far....

perfiction

No issues here tbh, missing only breeches, got bunch of duplicates that I sold as well.

The drop rate of face and body markings from Pelinal's Boon Boxes is abysmal tho.

etchedpixels

Zero so far, but then I don't care. It'l be in the bags next year and the bags don't get duplicates so you just buy the stuf on the guild stores that is cheap to eliminate it from the bag drop chance then buy a few bags.

Like most things in this game, if you don't mind waiting a year to pick it up it's a lot cheaper.

Yes, I'm over 4 million ap into the event and no drops of either of the markings so far.

I think I got one piece so far, but I am beyond caring. I never use those style pages anyway. Still, I can understand that it is frustrating as heck to those who do want them. Almost feels like griefing to make them so hard to get.

You would think as much as some hate going to IC at all, they would make it a bit easier.

But then the griefers, gankers and pesters wouldn't have anyone to grief, gank and pester.

TheImperfect

Admittedly I have not done much pvp but have done the quests each day and nothing so far.

NotaDaedraWorshipper

I wonder if ZOS can at least put them in the boxes before the event ends, because the bosses got such horrible drop rate.

Cloudtrader

I did a circuit of the sewer bosses with a group for a few hours. I got 3 drops of Legion Zero Vigiles, but none of the Black Drake, and members only got a few. SIGH.

whitecrow

The only one I got was from Ysenda Resplendent, the Harvester that patrols the Arboretum district.

Do they only drop from bosses? I thought there was a chance to get them from gift boxes.

Fennwitty

Looks like another Ebonsteel Knight page. They keep bringing it back over and over because so few people get it in one event.

Minnesinger

I have gotten 3 pieces of Black Drake so far. Randomly killing the bosses when they are attacked by my faction. Out of the tens of boxes I have gotten 1 piece of markings.

ShawnLaRock

2 Drops - both Breeches, so far. wtt for jerkin pls. It’s actually kind of a cool look.

The only page I got so far is the one I bought with tickets.

@whitecrow They do not. Only bosses. The markings can supposedly drop from the boxes.

I have managed to get all of the style pages (sorry!) mostly from sewer bosses, to be honest. My problem is the marking that are supposed to drop from the boxes. These seem to be a very low drop?

I got the markings (both body and face in the same box) when I was about 2m AP into event. I still got tons unopened boxes in mail though.

Vaoh

To give people an idea of the drop rate....

I completed the full Midyear Horror Achievement this event (Kill all 12 patrolling horrors in the imperial city) and even killed some of those bosses 2-3 times. I received two pages of the Black Drake style lol.

atherusmora

Figured this would be the case. Went ahead and bought with tickets. Nothing else with the Impresario appeals to me.

TimeViewer

Haven't seen a single drop myself, these are becoming just a waste of time spoiling the game for me, I don't mind grind but this...

Maybe I should spend my money elsewhere

BlueRaven

They drop from bosses in IC...

(The sudden realization that they have been farming Cyrodiil dailies for absolutely no reason.)

Well at least I can now just limit myself to one daily each day in Cyrodiil and IC.

redlink1979

These pages that only drop from IC bosses have an extremely low drop rate. That's why I don't even bother tbh.

I've not seen ONE drop from a box. All of the ones I have, I've had to buy from the event merchant. Luckily, I'm not crazy about the skin, so I can spend my tickets elsewyr.
