`must be you, I have 2 sorceresses and they find kuta just the same as the others.

They're just super rare. I had the same problem, so I started doing the enchanter crafting writ, which gives you many Kutas.

I personally think all tannigs and Kutas (aspect, right?) are way too easy to find, people get instantly legendary gears, like whats the point of that. If I was Zen I'd revisit Gear Upgrade and do it right, not only for endgame players but for new players too. Also I'd add Elite Gear Upgrade after Legendary for Leaderboards, that should be a good carrot to do those too.

Just remove Gear Upgrade system from the game when you remove VR-ranks, and add them later, when you have perfected it. Gear Upgrade System is pure joke atm, especially for new players, Gears and upgrading them should be main part of the journey.

Really? I have found more kuta in the wild than from writs.

i call it lucky character syndrom....LCS

one of my characters can't get "X" which he needs, but gets a reasonable amount of "Y"....he doesn't need "Y". Another character that Needs "Y" cant get it to save his life, but the "X" flows in. This is why im glad i have an Alt.

i wouldnt be surprised if there is an algorithm at work, after all you don't find certain style materials as much until you learn the motif. Why not have that same algorithm working for all loot? why leave it to random chance. When you could increase grind/playtime/revenue by tweaking the balance

Never picked up a kuta myself only in trove scamps

There is a saying - Fortuna favors those who do not need the fortune.

Even I think that is an illusion. Someone who gets initially lucky in life has a higher chance to make more out of it much earlier in life and that lets it appear as if that person is more lucky than others. On top of it success changes the attitude in which problems are approached, leading to the statement "I don't know problems, just solutions" - and so they become more successful in life, just due to the attitude and their approach to things. And due to less frustrations encountered, they will as well be more passionate about things and follow through with them, even when it gets hard - and that is what makes it.

Edit: this reminds me of the motto Ronald Reagan had on his desk - it can be done - this is the attitude to win.

Back in the old days, before IC, before writs, I found them pretty often. Kuta drop rate was about the same as Rekuta is now, and I had way more Rekuta than I do now. Also I found 2 Imperial motifs in the first year, they also seems to be much more rare.

Funny, I do not have a single Rekuta, but a couple of kuta - even i am just since 2 months in ESO. And imperial motifs I found 4, I guess. I have the imperial edition upgrade, so the majority of my characters can craft imperial.

Thats how RNG works. Some people will get lots of something others will get nothing.

Yes, it is the famous "rule of the third" - about 1/3 will get more than normal, about 1/3 an average amount and 1/3 will have the short end of the stick and will get less.

Like with the imperial motif - I had 2 of those within the first week and friends of mine are more than a year in ESO and did not find any of those yet. And on top of it, I found both in an unlocked chest in the starter house in Daggerfall - just like that. That is RNG for you.

JD2013 · February 2016

Yes.

Septimus_Magna · February 2016

Have you tried enchanting writs?

Bartdude · February 2016

heh well what ya know, came home from work bout 1pm gmt and decided I'd have a little farm around crag and yeap you guessed it sorc found his 1st kuta.....coincidence or Zeni listening in? lol

Katahdin · February 2016

My V16 hardly ever finds kutas, I think one in the last 3 months. I got 2 in a row within 2 minutes on my V6 the other day and 1 on my lvl 47 yesterday.

I've also decided the enchant hirelings are worthless. 1 kuta in 4 months from 2 characters with 2/3 on enchant hirelings. I will respec to get those skill points back cause it's a waste.

Acharnor · February 2016

I very rarely find one in my adventures but regularly get them from writs!

I_killed_Vivec · February 2016

I would expect to only get one or maybe two kuta in the wild over two months.

In the past I've been lucky and had more, I've also gone for about 6 months without finding one.

I remember being surprised when I found one this week, so I imagine I hadn't found any for a while - I get the vast majority of mine from writs.

Inarre · February 2016

Yes.

bikerangelo · February 2016

My sorc found 5 Kutas in a heavy sack once.

I was playing with my brother in Deshaan, telling him that if he ever comes across Kuta he can sell it for a good bit of gold. Up until then I hadn't bothered gathering any runes out in the wild. I decided might as well grab the first one I see and... It was kuta.

The biggest problem is... theres always 2-3% that get utterly screwed by RNG.

Callous2208 · February 2016

Writs and my follower mails. That's the only way I ever get them. Think I've found one in the wild since oh, I don't know, launch.

Yes, same here. With my first character I had about a stack of Kutas before Craglorn came out (around that time I think it was). Then I never found that many with any of my other characters anymore. But I'm doing writs now, they drop Kutas every other day
