Monster Hunter Trophy Drop Rate?

kiheikat

Has anyone completed the Monster Hunter Trophy achievements recently?

Been playing for a few years, but still haven't completed, so I've been farming these.

I need crypt jar (mummies), cruel collar (jackal), and troll skull (trolls). I have killed thousands of trolls and mummies and hundreds of jackals with no luck.

How low is the drop rate on these?

A lot of players seem to have problems with crypt jar, I did too. Trolls I also had to farm on purpose, but jackal collars I had many without trying.

Good spots for these:
Trolls : Eastmarch Darkwattr vilalge, east of Fort Amol, endless loop of trolls. Logging Camp in same zone.
Crypt jar: Alik'r Tu'whacca throne, Craglorn Seeker's Archive, Shadowfen Gandranen Ruins delve
Jackals: Craglorn again, area between Sandy Path and Seeker's archive

In a word, low. In two words, very low.

Here are some tips from my perspective (what did work for me):

If a throphy can be aquired in a dungeon, try it in a dungeon, the droprates there seem to be higher.
If you farm a place for a trophy and cant get it, try switching to a different character (fresh low lvl character sometimes tends to find many trophies).
As for the crypt jar (this was my last trophy) try the Tu'whacca's Throne area, you can do a route there in a circle going up to the temple, as you finish and fall down near to the beginning the mummies will already be respawned.
And yeah it took a lot of mummies..

I've been playing 9 years and the only one I've earned is the Dwemer one which only has two items. I've bits and pieces of other sets but I'm assuming many can only be got in certain places because surely I'd have got more by now. Maybe I'll look a guide up some time and actually set out to finish them.

Someone who methodically spends years killing thousands upon thousands of different species is more than a mere "monster hunter" in my book.

They've become the monster.

Last missing thing is the Trophy from a Wamasu.
Haven't become one in ten Years. Must have killed at least 7k of Wamasus.
So much for Droprate…

I'm only missing one item for Nature Collector, and three for Tamriel Beast Collector, and I swear the game has some spiteful reason to not give them to me. Going off of an rng tracking addon I have, I've killed over 1,500 spriggans without the related trophy; and that is just how many I've killed after downloading the addon. Countless more were slain before I downloaded it.

Or maybe the Green just doesn't like me for some reason. I've got my Lair of Maarselok stickerbook to 45/72 with how many runs I've done and I still haven't got the final lead I need for the mythic Sabatons.

Crypt Jar took me literally weeks. Some of the drop rates are absurdly low.

Necrotech_Master

yeah the drop rate on some are low, certain enemies/locations do seem to have better drop rates though

for the crypt jar for instance, i ended up getting my drop in the alikr public dungeon (lost city of na-totambu), right in the area where the group boss is spawned theres like 4 easy to get to mobs that you can pull together

i also farmed in this one because its a good place to kill gargoyles for that monster trophy

so glad im finally done with all of those though lol

Same, that is the last one for me. Spent more time Shadowfen than i ever wanted to.

In 4 years of playing I still have never managed to get a single Wolf's tooth necklace. I do not actively farm the trophies but I do kill all wolves when they happen to be near my path. Considering how abundant they are in Tamriel, this is just a joke.

These monster trophies are the sort of thing that drops fairly quickly with a fresh login if at all. Don’t spend hours farming them at a time.

Well, it doesn't say you have to become one, only that you have to get one.

to become = werden
to get sth - etwas bekommen

*SCNR*

I do not bother with the monster trophies, as the drops are so low. The only ones I have completed are the dwarven and chitin ones.
I get them when I get them. And if I don't... I don't care.

Finally. Thousands and thousands of mummies killed

Now I just need jackals and trolls

one of best places i recall for jackals was craglorn south of the seekers archive area, there was an area with like 5 groups of 3 jackals each

for trolls i dont remember the exact location but there was a spot in the overland in either the rift or eastmarch which had a large number of troll spawns, was near some kind of lumberyard

The dyes from these achievements should be classified as “rare”, not “common”. It took me less time to get the Emperor! achievement than it has trying to get these monster trophies to drop.

Eastmarch - Darkwater Crossing

The Rift - Trollslayer's Gully
