RNGjeezus is the next baddest boss in Tamriel. My personal experience is if I try and grind for the helms (doing dungeons over and over), I don't get it. I get the drops when I least expect it.

Aks my bud back in the days 215 runs to get Valkyn head. "RNGesus"

This right here is why I haven't yet gone back to farm for my other helms despite knowing I should to max out my dps.

Divine Kena Shoulder and then 2 pcs of Torugs Pact will suffice until later.

This is more proof they need a Token system, so that those with absolutely terrible RNG have the ability to get stuff.

Took me 126 runs for a Valkyn skoria helmet back at v14, and 139 for my FIRST Nerineth helmet (luckily it was perfect at the time) at v14. Over 80 runs for a new perfect Nerineth and still nothing. Desire sensor OP

Same here, after 70+ v16 runs for Nerineth i got 1 helm with inpenetrable trait, which is useless in PvE, but I made my peace with it, no way im going to keep farming for better trait..

Same here, i keep getting bloodspawn helmets i never use, but nerienth i have one vr16 with imp and am using it all the time, dont think i will ever get a better one , it is so rare to drop

I feel your pain:

I've done 61 Veteran Pledges in total and many more farm runs for helmets (Bloodspawn, Nerien'eth, Malubeth and Engine Guardian) without ever finding one (think I'm well over 100 dungeon runs, 150 maybe?)

It's so stupid because I wanted to make a healer set so I'd be able to take the healing role besides the usual DPS role in dungeons too (using Bogdan + Kagrenac) or switch from Molag Kena to Bloodspawn so I can make my char a sustain build in PvP instead of ganking, but nada.

Today, I even went up the vWGT (yeah, I know I said I would give up on PvE and never do dungeon runs again, but when a guildie needs help, I can't say no) but none of us got the helmet. Oh, I think we all got something, but just not the purple quality item we were looking for...

Still, on the bright side, I feel kinda glad that I did do vWGT after getting put down by a healer when I wanted to run CoA pledge (managed to score a solid 19k DPS on Kena too and I died as many times as my team mates) so I feel happy again. But if ZOS could please increase the drop chance a bit for these helmets, that would be better.

Cause it's ironic: ZOS is against grinding since they reduced the XP gain from several good spot, but they seem to want us to grind for the gear we need

It took me over 150 Dark Shade runs to get my first v16 engine guardian helmet.

I've only had 2 helmets drop in all dungeons and I must have done about 350 runs now. It's getting hard to find friends to go with now because they have all the helms they want, RNG plain sucks in this game.

@ZOS_RichLambert please do something about these helms, it is killing our desire to play. It feels close to work rather than enjoyment. I stare at the launch icon on my screen wondering if I really want to subject myself to another round of doing pledges and attempts at nerien helm after months of 0 luck.

Funniest thing is you absolutely dont need those stuff to pvp ....
Running 5kagrenac/4Magnus/3Willpower.
From the start I decided not to let rng god spoil my fun, so I never even try to get undaunted sets.
Poor you.
Pve is as fun as watching paint dry, I almost died of boredom getting undaunted 9 for the passives, once done I never set a foot again in those crap dungeons.

Ah sry to hear :-/
And the worse part is, the helmet can drop in light sturdy or something.
Maybe an idea could have been to raise the chance of helmet each run?
If there is currently 5% chance of getting a helmet (dont know number, just an example), the chance could increase 1% each dungeon run until you got helmet, then it decreased back to the original percentage droprate.

Ah yes...the RNG pain. Bro it took me 3 months playing everyday on 3 different Vet toons before I got my final piece for a complete set for the Valkyn Skoria. 270 tries before victory was achieved.
