    At 4, looks like that’s as far as I’m going to get. I spent about eight and a half hours yesterday grinding bosses and still no Barbas drop.

    I haven't really been farming them though either.

    I found a lake in The Reach that had like 7 fishing nodes and got it while doing that.

    The Dolmens though I have tried to farm off an on and probably done at least 50, and stop at the random dolmens going if I'm out doing something.

    I've killed like 3 WB on Vvardenfell.

    In the dolmens and geysers the key is not to skip a single loot box for two and a half hours.
    Use a crown merchant and move on to the next.

    It will come out at the end.

    In fishing I got it in the first node, I was lucky I guess.

    The world bosses were the most complicated, each style took me 1 whole day until I finally got it.

    You can get all styles, you need perseverance and go to places where there are not many people.

    Took me 8 days. (2-3 hours per day) to get the Staff of Worms from dolmans.

    Took me 35 mins to get the Trueflame style from fishing.

    Took me 4 days(2-3 hours per day) to get the Ul’vor Staff style from the

    I tried farming for the last 2 styles from world boss’s, but I got burned out from doing the first 3 styles that the game started to frustrate me. So I decided not to pursue them further. All I really wanted was the Staff of Worms anyway.

    I didn't start farming them until a week into the event (was too busy playing Horizon Forbidden West). Got the fishing one after 20ish casts, got the geyser after 10 ish geysers, got the dolmen one after 7ish dolmens, got the Vvardenfell staff on 20th or so boss kill, then was stuck on these 4 farming the Queen's Consort for Barbas whenever I had time to. I wasn't really keeping track, but I spent a total of probably 20 or so actual hours in that cave while watching stuff on my other monitor, so maybe 200ish boss kills?.

    I'm still at 4/5.

    I have approximately 565 Vvardenfell boss kills over the past 9 days and still no Sunna'rah drop. This is completely destroying what should be a fun event.

    Fun event. Thanks zos.

    Jup exactly this +1

    Plus reading that everyone who got their account locked with this PTS thingy gets ALL pages and 16000 endeavors for free. Granted that they haven't been able to farm these pages due to the lockout obviously, but kinda a kick in the (orc-) butt for farming these pages like and getting none.

    After reading all your comments here though I gave up farming any more.

    So far, 4. Grinding and grinding and grinding away to get that last one, and I'm getting less and less optimistic that I'll get it.

    Still no Barbas helm, and only 2 days left.

      It's completely random. A friend got the Staff of Worms after his 4th dolmen, then immediately went fishing (while I was continuing the dolmen thing) and got Trueflame not even 10 minutes later...

      I found Trueflame after 30 minutes of fishing (about 100 attempts).

      I got Sunna'rah after 9,5 hours (about 114 WB); the longest attempt was 3 hours, plus a few days with 1 to 2 hours each.

      Currently still trying to get the Staff of Worms (6 hours so far).

      I'm basically using all my ESO time for this right now. It's bearable, but an anniversary activity should be more than just bearable.

      Farmed dolmens for up to an hour - got the staff (both accounts)

      Farmed the hog in Vvardenfell - got Barbas' helmet

      Fished in 2-3 nodes - got the sword (both accounts)

      Umpty geysers - no staff

      So far no luck with Sunna'rah either.

      I don't suffere from FOMO, so I'm pleased with the loot.

      I got the Sunna'rah staff early on from Queen's Consort. Barbas has yet to drop from anything.

      Does the second drop from the Vvardenfell boss decrease dramatically in drop chance once you acquire the first, regardless of which one it is?

      I got Barbas from Queen's Consort.

      I've no idea if finding one affects the chance of finding the second.

        Absolutely none. But I will admit, I've not even bothered trying. RNG and I are not on the best of terms at best, from the horror stories I've heard from others, I wouldn't want to attempt this even under pain of death.

        FINALLY!

        My one remaining page (Sunna'rah) just dropped, from Nilthog.

        For me, three of the pages (Staff of Worms, Ul'Vor, and Sunna'rah) each took FOR-EVAH to drop.

        Barbas and Trueflame came within two and three attempts, respectively.

          Last night, to my utter surprise and amazement, I got the Ul'vor Staff. That brings me up to 4 out of 5. Funny thing, if the event hadn't been extended I wouldn't have gotten that 4th page. Now I only miss the Staff of Worms. Fat chance of getting that, with all the dolmens I've done so far. Another big THANK YOU, ZOS! (sarcasm, btw)
