VR12 Jewelry from SETS since 1.4 patch

Niebla

I would appreciate an OFFICIAL response about what happened since patch 1.4 to several sets drops (jewelry) like Warlock, Syrabane's, Unassailable.. etc.

It seems that it doesn't drop anymore (at least VR12 versions...)

PLEASE

    Yep I have the same feeling. Almost impossible to find them in any trade guild.
    Because I can!

    I assumed that making Warlock stop dropping was the latest nerf to Magicka builds.

    They introduced more clothing parts (I think this was introduced recently, and wasn't here initially?) of the warlock set, so you can still achieve a 5 part warlock set w/o the signets
    I should know since I completed my warlock set yesterday :)

    Congratz - however, the issue with the Warlock in particular being relegated down to only armor has considerable disadvatages to a some builds since the entire reason for wanting the jewelry in particular has to do with freeing up armor slots for bonuses from other combined sets. Not being able to achive 5 pieces in Warlock from using the neck, and 2 rings is a strong disadvantage to that goal.

    Yeah I've had to reconsider my build based on the fact I assumed that I would be using warlock signets rather than 4 armour pieces (I do have focus, does this still drop?) and I've had to adapt a little.
    I'm now assigning my rings and staff to a cyrodil set which gives +magicka for 2 items and +% magicka for 3 items which helps be hit magicka softcap - still not sure what I'll use for my 3 pieces of armour, I'll have to check.

    The focus appears to still be around though I cannot tell if from drops now or if those ones I have seen are from previous hoarding now put to sale.

    I'm pretty sure I've looted a green Syrabane's necklace vr13 yesterday questing in one of the upper craglorn cave. I'll verify tonight (I'm at work right now)

    According to soulshine (above your post) necklaces still drop (e.g. syrabane's necklace, focus of warlock) but rings don't (e.g. signet of warlock)

    I have never seen a Syrabane necklace. Is it a new drop?
    Because I can!

    As a vamp the resist fire ring is a must for me, so i use one ring and neck of warlock, coupled with the staff of the seducer i can still run 5/5 warlock/seducer

    It just makes me kind of sad how much time it took to earn that money (97 k) to buy the ring. People LOL at me because they bought their rings for 15 k a month ago, because i leveled slowly i did not only miss out on the anomaly superloot grind (have never even seen a anomaly in game, in the 5 months i play)

    Because i love the warlock set, i have been using the v1 version untill i hit v12 yesterday, i felt compelled to spend allmost 100 k on the v12 ring, out of fear of it being the last, because zeni nerfed the rings but doesn't give a response when we ask about it.

    But hell, what else was i going to spend it on, by the time houses are in game i will just buy the poor man's shack.

    I didn't think to do this. I was looking for a second healer ring to run with the Eyes of Mara set, not thinking to make my staff and four pieces of Mara armor. Can't believe I didn't think of that.

    Focus is common, in relation to the other parts.

    You know after 1.3 you can re-enchant the set jewelry, right? You can add fire resist to a focus, for instance and have another with +MR or lower spell cost.

    It has no effect on the set bonus itself.

    The problem is, so long as 2 handed anything doesn't provide x2 set item equivalent, you are taking a hit by using staves, bows, and two handers. Subbing another warlock armor piece kills your other 5 set, whatever it was.

    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    Earn it.

    You can re enchant Signets since a couple of weeks ago. Warlock's wold be pretty awful if I couldn't put 42 spell damage on the 3 jewels.
    If they removed the rings the set is now useless since for armor Seducer just beats it in every respect.

    The issue is that the two major sets (Warlock and Syrabane) are the only sets in the game where it was possible to be wearing TWO complete 5-piece sets and an additional two piece weapon set.
    Since most of the PvP weapon sets and Trial drop sets for weapons and jewelry seem to be 3 piece only sets it stands to reason that ZOS wants to phase out the option to make multiple 5 pieces sets builds possible. This is reinforced by the addition of new Warlock clothing pieces and the fact that the new sets for 1.4 (Healer, Footman, ect) seem to use the necklace and no other jewelry. It would make sense that ZOS meant to make the Warlock similar to these sets and I would wager that the change was very much intentional.

    I would also wager that anyone with an un-bound VR12 signet of the Warlock just became a very rich person.

    Wearing full warlock on your armor slots is still a nerf to what you can achieve. The jewelry is required for an optimal build.

    Yeah, is this official? I'm making a /bug report and link this thread since there is no answer. Add to the above these two:

    ~~ Dragon (Akaviri Dragonguard set): plenty of neck items, not a single ring I have seen trader mining or drop.

    ~~ Magicka Furnace: haven't seen any drops above VR 1-3 range.

    Can anyone confirm whether or not these drops are level specific? For instance, I noticed recently while grinding through vet ranks that v10 soulshine (the highest vet level for this set) rings were dropping like candy. As soon as I hit v11: nothing.

    I imagine a similar situation might be happening with the v12 warlock rings. Since everyone is v14 at the moment the drop rate is nonexistant. Anyone with lower leveled toons able to confirm?

    head and chest are optimal, both have infused so yeh, those two are the only ones you need.
