To my mind a curated drop should mean that I get an unknown item until I complete the set at which point obviously I'll get duplicates.

However, that's not what I see. I'm only doing the work on my main, it's occupying so much time I don't have time to log into alts, so it should be straightforward... keep doing the tasks, get drops from the rewards, fill up the sets. And yet I'm getting duplicates without having filled the relevant set.

The curation factors in what you've learned and what you have in your current character's inventory. I've been self-curating drops for a few weeks now and this is exactly how it works and how I've been able to fill out specific scripts as I teach all my alts the various scripts. Using this character as an example and Signature Scripts:


They can pull Anchorite's Cruelty and Assassin's Misery from a daily box only, but if they had both scripts in their inventory already it would pull from all Signature scripts except for Druid's, Hunter's, Lingering and Sage's as they come from other sources.

Addon?

That addon is Character Knowledge (by code65536). It tracks each of your character's Recipe, Furnishing Plan, Motif and Scribing knowledge. The addon can be viewed after opening its UI panel/scene like in the image, and it can also put the information on item tool-tips for easy access from your inventory. The only downside is you'll have to be in Keyboard Mode in order to see the information on item tool-tips because it doesn't display in Gamepad Mode, but a lot of addons don't work the same in Gamepad Mode so it's no big deal. (I don't blame the addon makers, the Gamepad UI is completely different from the Keyboard UI and would require a lot more work)

They also made Loot Log, Item Set Browser, Collectible Knowledge, Event Collectibles, Combat Alerts, Raidificator, etc. These addons go very nicely together and use the same UI panel/scene (with tabs to switch to each addon).

code65536 makes some good stuff. I highly recommend their addons!

the person who was asking is a console player, they wouldnt have access to that

I seen their forum signature... But all they said was "Addon?" Which to me implies that they were asking about the addon.

Definitely not nerfed. Got 8 today from random and different dailies.

I think you are allotted at least 9 per day. But my issue is not getting them, but getting the ones I want!!! My main has learned all but Cowardice now. So I go to scribe one for my alt Mag Sorc and she needs Brittle but doesn't have it. Gah. I have a tone useless to many of my characters. Yeah, sucks they are bound and can't sell or give.

I've been getting the guaranteed Affix Script (and was getting Class Scraps) on every character that completes the Daily Random Dungeon.

But I'm only getting the guaranteed Focus Script (Mage's Guild Daily) and Signature Script (Fighter's Guild Daily) on the first character that completes those dailies.

Is this intended? Some people are saying the guaranteed daily Scripts from each source are only once per account per day. So then why have I always been getting an Affix Script on every character that does the Daily Random Dungeon ever since The Gold Road released?

If the guaranteed Script drop from each source is only once per account per day, then I'm not wasting anymore time trying to do the other dailies on all of my alt characters...

Note: I have completed all Scribing quests on my main character and have every Affix, Focus and Signature Script unlocked. I have completed the Scribing Tutorial on all of my alt characters to unlock the station and vendor. I have not completed the "Mage's Script Chase" (visit the 9 Mage's Guilds to collect Scripts) on all of my alt characters. And I am still collecting most of the Scripts on my alt characters.

yes, each script "type" (affix, signature, and focus) have different drop sources

affix scripts drop from IC dailies, undaunted delve daily, and incursion zone dailies
focus scripts drop from rewards of the worthy, mages guild daily, and zone delve dailies
signature scripts drop from cyro dailies and bounty boards, fighters guild daily, and zone WB dailies

the script scraps for the class mastery script also come from unique sources, but will stop dropping once you complete the achievement

only the first daily of each type is guaranteed per account, after that its a 25% chance to get additional scripts from repeated sources, i wasnt aware they added affix scripts to daily random dungeons (vet/normal)

theres 2 affix, 2 focus, and 2 signature scripts that are only acquired from completing the scribing intro (second era of scribing), and the 9 mages guild ones (i think 3 affix, 3 focus, and 3 signature) have to be picked up, none of these will drop normally in the pools of the daily quests

the script drops are curated to the character opening the box or receiving the reward, so ideally you want to open the rewards first on characters that still need scripts

Yes, I already knew everything you said. You must've missed where I said I have all Scripts on at least one character, if I have them all then I obviously know where to get them lol... My question was basically why am I getting a guaranteed Affix Script on every character that completes the Daily Random Dungeon, if it's supposed to be only once per source per account per day.

It was my experience that every source BUT random daily dungeons was one guaranteed Script per account per day. Random daily dungeons gave me one guaranteed affix Script a day per CHARACTER. I assumed they added them to random dungeons so affix Scripts would have a fourth source since there’s more affix Scripts than the others. Also assumed that this being per character was working as intended, and I hope that is true. All of the other sources should really be per character as well in my opinion.

I bet it is wonderful and I love to try I've been asking for something like it, but sadly I'm on the console...

Yes, I admit I have addon envy in a big way. I love my PS5, but addons seem amazing. I would love to be able to do more than have my nose pressed up against the glass...

Yup, console user longing for addons...

I'm already deep into learning scripts on a fourth character, with a few scripts making it all the way down to my sixth in line. That doesn't seem too bad a drop rate to me.
