Add tradable rare items to each trial

ZhuJiuyin

ZOS, please add some tradable rare items to each trial, such as the Clockwork Curator from VAS.

Due to subclassing, many veteran trials and even hm trials are now easier to complete, so you can even add the same rules as the monster style page to the drop, that is, having the HM achievement of the trial increases the drop rate.

Such drop items can be Polymorphs, Non-Combat Pets, Furniture or Mounts, making them worth trading and collecting, which can not only promote trade between players, but also increase players' willingness to participate in trials.

I've always wondered why really cool furnishings weren't a rare drop from trials. It gives it replayability and something to aim for beyond sticker book or gearing. It's been a long time for me so I may be remembering badly but I believe SWTOR did this after housing became a thing. Statues or busts or whatever are cool but a one off. We're doing worm wizard in my guilds dungeon group so I've been through fang lair a few times, lol, and I got a mushroom the other day. It was a small thing but cool. More of that.

Yes, after the introduction of rare drops in VAS, you would think that this should be a requirement for every trial in the future. After all, when players collect full sticker books and complete HM, their interest in participating in trials will be greatly reduced. If they can be rewarded with some rare drops, like the well-known Phoenix mount in WOW, it will undoubtedly increase players' enthusiasm for trials and give new value to old trials.
Imagine if vMOL dropped Luminous Moon Dials, vHRC dropped Gargoyle Training Dummies, vAA dropped Polymorphs of Mage Constellation, vKA dropped Bat Pets, etc. Especially when the equipment of these old trials is no longer attractive, these rare drops will continue to keep players enthusiastic about participating in the old trials.

Because a very vocal subset of the ESO playerbase would become very upset about it.

There are furnishings that unlock from the achievement vendor for some HM trials, such as the gold and silver dragon statues for Sunspire partial HMs and the boat for Kynes HM.

I haven't looked into whether there's others for the later HMs.

There's one for Rockgrove HM called Inert Oblivion Gate but it's pretty ugly. All of the furnishings for Dreadsail Reef and the trials after it can be gotten in Normal or Veteran.

I guess they came to the conclusion that the difficulty of the HMs for the last four (or five if you still want to count Rockgrove) trials would lock too many people out of accessing them considering they're just furnishings?

The key point should be that these Polymorphs, Non-Combat Pets, Furniture or Mounts should be tradable between players,
at least before collection, rather than immediately bound after picking up. (Same as the monster style page)
Rare and tradable collectibles will undoubtedly increase players' willingness to participate in trials. Especially rare and beautiful furniture, because it can be obtained repeatedly, even if they do not participate in trials, decorators and collectors will be willing to spend a lot of money to buy these furniture and collectibles, which will also increase the capital flow of the market, and the ESO player market has been quiet for a long time.
