Shroud of the lich- dolmen grinding

So I'm trying to get the Shroud Of The Lich set. As far as I know it maxes out at vet 10.

I have been grinding dolmens in the rift, 100+ done so far, not a single piece has dropped.

There is supposed to be a chance of one dropping in the chest after you kill a general,etc.

Am I doing something wrong? I can't find a single piece in any of the guild stores either. Is this set just that rare, is there any other way to get it? Or am I just having terrible luck?

    Set dropes only from chest after you kill Lich general (ofc with some chances).

    So basically your chances of completing a set are so small, if you actually accomplish it you would have been better off buying a lottery ticket.

    I've been farming Dolmens for 6 hours in the attempt to get the Seducer Top (Encasement of Anguish) for low level.. No luck here either. Its quite depressing there ain't an easier way to get those awesome items.

    Farm with a group. It seems true that the more people, the higher chance of getting a general(plus more chance at least someone will get something worthy from chest), and there's a fair number of people farming v10 dolmens just for that purpose. Also, it's iirc Lich of Mournhol and Seducer sisters that drop Lich pieces.

    As for why there're none in gstores, they're a)rare b)easy to sell atm, certain collectors will pay 100k+ a piece. And people are bored so farming stuff like that now...nothing like a group of 10 vet 14 Boethia's scythes and Deadlandds adepts demolishing an anchor xD

    There are a few pieces in various guild vendors though not all are v10. I saw a couple helms for sale and have a staff listed myself in a guild store in rawlkha.

    They're absurd rare.

    And if not "easier" at least more of a "sure thing." I want to know that if I "work" really hard for something I at least stand a pretty good chance of actually getting it.

    It took me 5 months to complete my Lich set. Dolmens are also the only way to get the Draugr's Heritage set. I now have multiples of both sets, but not all in VR10 yet.

    that is quite a lot :open_mouth:
    I have to try also :)

    is it possible that the robe drops more than other pieces?
    In most stores i only see the robe.

    There are two different chest pieces to that set. The Bestial Rampart and Armor of the First Titan.

    I might be willing to part with a few pieces.

    Oh man, I just totally decon'd a staff last night from a dolmen from this set. Had no idea it might have been sought after. Thought it was VR6, but now I'm not sure.

    Ouch. That staff could've gotten you 50-90k, depending on the buyer ...

    I have several versions of the Lich set, pre-vet and vet because my Sorcerer prefers to wear it. The pieces go up for sale from time to time.Just keep watching zone chat and checking in guild stores.

    Knocked out alot of dolmens this evening, no dice. I have done so many dolmens in the last week I have lost count. I'm dolmend out at this point, as they say on wrestling, I tap.

    I don't think I'm gonna waste any more time on this, at least right now. I'm convinced the RNG in this game hates me. I have yet to get a single undaunted helmet or shoulders either.

    Its really a bummer, all my guildies and friends get multiples of this stuff, I get ziltch...it almost feels like I'm being discriminated against...i know I'm not, but it sure as hell feel like it she everyone but you gets stuff all the time. :(

    As I said, farm in group;) When there was like 7 of us farming, like every third anchor dropped a boss, this actually makes farming them viable as opposed to "do 100 dolmens, get 1 drop".

    I have another idea that might help you. Grab AwesomeGuildStore addon if you don't already have it. This will allow you to save search variables so when you head Kiosk > Kiosk it's a 1-button click for results. Then narrow your search terms like this (2 Favorites):

    Light Armor
    VR10 (or VR1-10 if you don't care)
    Divines, Infused
    Chest, Helm, Gloves, Shoulders
    Magicka Enchant

    Staff
    Restoration Staff
    VR10 (or VR1-10 if you don't care)
    Charged

    Doing that will make running to all of Nirn's Guild Kiosks easier. I do this when I'm searching for something. I'll check every single Kiosk in the game (takes about an hour). This might be something you could do every few days as a break from Dolmen farming. Protip on that addon, don't put a name in the search box, half the time it can't find it even with the exact name. It's better to search the specifics about the armor/weapon than just typing "Shroud of the Lich" into search.
