Which Psijic Ambrosia recipe fragment is giving you fits?

Just curious as to how the RNG is treating other players who are trying to collect Psijic Ambrosia recipe fragments.
For me, I can't complain too much since I have been able to complete the recipe twice. But in each case it has been fragment 1 that has alluded me. I've been doing the writs on 8 max provisioning characters everyday since the start and I'm sitting multiple fragments 2-7, but fragment 1 is becoming my "white whale".

Again, just curious how the RNG has been for everyone else.

    Got 5 pieces from writs then bought last 2 ones, then I was done with that :)

    Now I just sell the ones I get.

    Why do you complete the recipes?

    200 plus writs and never seen a fragment its to the point where I know exactly what to craft for the writs before i even select them from the board.I think that its this way so i will get frustrated and buy xp boosters from the crown store.

    All drop rates seem as bad a the Glass motif ones on the PTS... and those are nightmarish due to needing 10 fragments for a single chapter!

    All of them. Granted, I don't yet have the skill level required to make them, but my provisioning writs keep asking for recipes that I haven't found yet so I can't even begin to start finding them.

    At this point I'm just being stubborn.

    I WILL find fragment 1 one last time...you shall not beat me RNG!

    Either that or I'll just go screaming off into the night at some point. ;)

    Haven't received received 1 fragment. Given up and just buy pots - it's easier and cheaper.
    Also, spoke to a guy last night, and he's sold over 25 of the Full Recipe's over the last 4-5 weeks!?!?!

    Crazy.... (and this is PC EU BTW). Oh, and the price of some of the fragments is down to 25k as well :\

    The whole daily writ thing just seems like a huge waste of time. Rarely , if ever , get anything of real use. When 95% of the crap you get is useless , i'd just as soon spend my time doing something with a point to it.

    You do know that for provisioning writs, you do not need to make the food/drink yourself? Look in your guild banks (I keep a stock of food and drink for writs in my guild bank for members to use), ask guildmates if they can craft it for you, or if all else fails, check guild stores or try to buy the food and drink in zone chat.

    I don't think it's silly, I'm just not bothering even looking/hoping for it right now.

    If I start getting pages, I'll either use them to become wealthy, or I'll start actually working on my Provisioning skill. Until then, I'm not even sweating it.

    I must say I'm a bit surprised by the results so far.

    Also makes me wonder if this was what ZOS was going for?

    Not to put on my "tinfoil hat", but since this can be such a PITA...oh wait...wouldn't it B easier to just go to the Crown store.
    I sure hope this wasn't their intent.

    All of them. Doing the daily 6x a day, 3 at max prov & 3 at starting lvl, since it was added on XB1 and have only got frag 5. Its getting super annoying.
