Sovereign Sow fragments should be purchasable with tickets

SilverBride

I did the Pig quest every day of the Festival and am still missing 2 fragments to get the Sovereign Sow pet. Why aren't these tradable or purchasable with tickets like the Minstrel's Cloth? Or why can't they also drop from the purple boxes instead of just the gold Stupendous Jester's Fesitval Boxes that we can only get one of each day?

Waiting another year and hoping to get the last fragments then, which is not guaranteed, is beyond unreasonable.

i honestly dont remember how i got the sow, but i definitely got it in the first time it was out

i thought the sow pet was directly buyable with tickets at the time and i opted to do that instead of farming the fragments, but i honestly dont remember the method i got it lol

Well the fragments are not purchasable now and can only be gotten from the Stupendous Jester's Festival Boxes.

The first year it was a guaranteed drop from the boxes. Afterwards they changed that but still did not allow them to be traded, which ruined the ability to get them in a reasonable timeframe.

The first year for the Sovereign Sow was 2020 so plenty of people didn't feel like doing the Jester Festival that year for obvious reasons. Why they decided to lower the drop rate after that Festival from guaranteed to low, I wouldn't know. But a lot of people didn't get it that year despite playing, and still have been unable to complete their pig due to the low drop rate.

ETA: Looks like it was because in 2021 they put the frags as event tickets purchase at the impresario.

Not everyone today was playing in 2021 when they were on the Impresario for tickets. So now we have to wait years.

It's just a cute pig pet. Why make it so difficult?

I agree. I think it's probably an oversight because they moved it from guaranteed drop to purchasable by event tickets, then when they dropped it from the Impresario's wares, they never fixed the drop rate. I hope they fix that in the future.

I'm too late now but the fragments did drop from the purple boxes, is just that the drop rate was... pretty atrocious.

Took opening 35-49 boxes every day for me to complete the collectible.

Sorry I didn't see this before

i agree,i want to buy cute piggy

I hate RNG.

My fourth account (which has just one fragment collected) did not get a single one this event, even though I collected and opened boxes every single day.

Meanwhile, I have another account that collected four fragments this year.

But since the fragments are not tradeable, that doesn't do me any good...

Can't understand why the items from previous years weren't purchasable at the empresario (fragments, style pages and runeboxes) like it happened with other events (eg: Witches Festival).

I got a single Jester's Daedroth fragment in PS EU in 9 event days... But I got tons of items I don't need: Festive Noise Maker Parts, Joke Popper Parts (completed in 2019), Cadwell's style pages (completed in 2019), Second Seed style pages (completed in 2022), Jester's Scintillator runebox (which I have since 2018), Cherry Blossom Branch runebox (which I have since 2017)...

I still only have one fragment for the pig. They just don't drop for me. I got seven scraps of minstrel's cloth but only one sovereign fragment.

Not sure why they keep the drop rate so low. It's just a pet.

SilverBride

The official announcement for the Jester's Festival doesn't mention the Sovereign Sow so some clarification would be appreciated.

Two years of the festival opened multiple boxes each day and I only have 4 fragments. The pig was the only thing I really wanted.

YandereGirlfriend

It's unfortunate to hear how difficult they have made this in the years after it was initially released.

The cute pig with the tiara is definitely the best pet in the game.

SilverBride

I want her.

Greetings,

After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic.

Thank you for your understanding

Only two years? That's not bad. I was looking for information about this because I already opened way more than 100 boxes and I only got 1 fragment. I was starting to think that we were only able to get 1 fragment per year. Do you remember how many boxes you opened to get each fragment? I think I got the first fragment in the first 10 boxes, but never got another.

We really should be able to sell and buy fragments from other players. The older players could sell their fragments if they already got the pet.

ZOS has a problem with either flooding the market with things or having far too few of them. I don't think I have a full set for a pig on any of my accounts. Maybe next year....

masshysteria_34

Played the festival every year and still have zero fragments, and it couldn't of been a guaranteed drop first year because I didn't get it

SilverBride

I didn't get a single fragment this year and still don't have this pet.

jcaceresw

I only own just one fragment years ago and haven't gotten another one this year. They should be able to buy from the Impresario.
