Did you guys reverse the drop rates on the fishing motif and the others?

In the explanation of where to find the 5 limited motif replica's you indicate the fishing has a very low chance of rewarding the motif, but say nothing about the rarity of the others, giving the impression that it is harder to get.

It's anecdotal but just about everyone in zone chat, myself included has indicated that the fishing one is the easiest. It took a little over an hour of fishing 230-250 fish to get the replica motif. For WB one, it took me 357 kills, for the dolmen, over 300 (I stopped counting) for geysers I am still farming for it after 400+ geysers and almost 20 hours...

Is it possible someone transposed the drop rates for the fishing one with others and the others are now having the extremely rare drop?

I literally spent more time farming these than I did at my job, that pays me, since this started.

I think it has to do with the frequency of access. It only takes you a few tens of seconds to have a chance to get a Motif from fishing, whereas for Dolmen it's at least two or three minutes

That makes sure you have more attempts per hour, but most people I spoke to actually also need more attempts at the non fishing farms and not just more time.

I fished somewhere between 20-30 times. I did much more dolmen, WB's and geysers than 20-30.

They actually edited the announcement to say “a small chance” for all five of them.

I do think it’s true random because it only took me 7 geysers, 9 dark anchors and about 100ish world bosses for me to get the vvardenfell staff, I didn’t try for either of the others.

I got it on my first Lake Fishing hole in Vvardenfell. Yay! No idea if it had anything what so ever to do with it, but I had Artaeum Pickled Fish Bowl food active.
