Dungeon Curation and U35

GlassHalfFull

I have run ten solo normal dungeons between Spindle Clutch and Banished Cells, and have not had any curated set drops. For both dungeons, I still have multiple sets with both armor. jewelry, and weapons left to acquire.

Previous to U35, solo normal dungeon runs have been curated, especially the last boss since weapons are what I need most. Since U35, I have not had any curated drops, yet I have had many set drops, all of which I already have.

I would like to know if others have noticed this.

Did they break the curated drop system?

It's an odd situation you're describing. You've run 10 dungeons and still need various body, weapons and jewelry. Even if curation were broken, one would think you would randomly get something you need out of all those pulls. It's almost like it's broken, but will ONLY give you items you already have from your stickerbook.

You're the only person that I've heard of with this issue. I've run a number of dungeons since the update and curation has been working for me exactly as it has been since before the update.

One thing that could be happening is that since you're running solo, the items are binding immediately so that if you were to check them, they would say they are already collected when in fact, they were only just collected that moment.

I have not had a y issues with curating, but I do not run solo, try queuing and see of anything drops, to help narrow down what pound be causing it?

I've run FG1 solo four times and have received curated drops.

And it can be very hard to notice the brief center screen announcement that something has been bound. I noticed this while farming Falkreath solo yesterday afternoon. I got something from a chest I could have sworn I didn’t have before, but it was already collected in its tooltip - I looked at the count I had left in Collections and it was one fewer than before, so I just missed the CSA. When it happened again with another chest, I paid more attention and saw the announcement that time.

Interesting thoughts in the reply's. I will take screen shots before a run, and compare to after each boss, to see if they are curating or not.

Mentioned above was 10 runs in dungeons with no curation, although I had plenty of room in the item sets for it to occur.

I created screen shots for before and after comparisons, and entered Banished Cells. Around half way through, real life gave me a storm with heavy rain, lightning, booming thunder and a hail storm.

The house power cut out, and crapped me out of the dungeon run.

Once power came back on, I entered Banished Cells again. I can confirm I had two curated items.

Seems to me, real life power is stronger than ESO curation RNG.

^^^ This is more than likely the scenario you're dealing with.

I run solo almost exclusively, and when you do so, the item drops will immediately bind (as there are no others to possibly trade with), so what you're seeing afterwards is a bunch of "bound" gear you are believing to be "previously" bound (which could be true of some), yet was really new piece(s) that actually curated during the run.

While a drop or drops that instantly bind on pickup don't have the big pop-up on screen like they do when you physically bind a piece of gear, you can still go into the stickerbook, and any new piece that bound since you last checked/cleared them, will show the little exclamation mark.

Those are the new ones you just got.

Cheers!

I've soloed bunch of normal dungeons and get curated drops which bind immediatly. The "added to collection" notice appears rarely if ever.
