Some loot in the game doesn't update the possible loot table after collection. The first that springs to mind is the Horned Dragon and Fanged Worm style pages from Battlegrounds. What this means is if you collect one piece of the style, say the fanged worm chest, the next time the game drops you a style the fanged worm chest is still a possible drop for you. BUT you don't get ANYTHING because you already have it, AND it still used up your one possible drop for the day. Since you are rewarded with NOTHING, you don't even know that your daily drop has been used, so you don't know to stop grinding for that day. This makes obtaining this set very difficult and frustrating.
Recently I have been playing Tales of Tribute for the Heavily Played Tribute Cards and Scraps of the Spearhead's Colors. I heavily suspect these act in a similar fashion. When I needed both, I roughly got one drop per day of one of them. Now that I have finished collecting the Scraps of the Spearhead's Colors, it has been a slog to get the last 2 Heavily Played Tribute Cards that I need. I suspect as with other loot tables, it is still "dropping" the Scraps of the Spearhead's Colors, but I don't get anything as you can't use it once you've consumed the 10 for the achievement.
Are there any other loot tables that people have come across that act in a similar fashion?
@ZOS_Kevin @ZOS_GinaBruno Can you please pass this on to the team that it is super unfun and disheartening when rewards are used up by already completed loot, resulting in no reward at all? I'm very disappointed this has still not been addressed over the many years it has existed.

✭I suspect same goes with motifs that needs an antiquity lead to be dug. Basically lets say you have a lead of Ancestral Breton Chests and did not dig it yet. Game can still reward you this lead from treasure map chests, but if you have it you do not get it again.
I suspect this because when there were High Isle celebration event. I bought more than a hundred treasure maps to get each motif once to fill codex. I could get a lot of drop from first maps. But as more and more leads piled up for different parts, getting drops were almost non existent.0 -

That's an interesting theory, because a week or so ago I finally got enough Heavily-Played Tribute Cards on PC NA, but I'm still waiting to finally get the 10th Scrap of the Spearhead's Colors.
On the other hand, I got both of those a month or more ago on PC EU, and I think I have a vague memory of getting both types of fragments on the same day, although I can't swear to that. But if it's true that you can get both at once-- similar to finding both Fortified Nirncrux and Potent Nirncrux in the same resource node-- then it might simply be that old bugaboo, RNG, doing its usual best to wreak its usual grief.I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!0 -

Oh yeah, thanks for bringing that one up. I had the same experience and ended up making sure I dug up every motif as soon as I got it so at least I could get duplicates to sell. Very frustrating when trying to complete the motif and getting the lore for the antiquity.0
