After hearing Gina chime in a thread about the issue that you can't find legendary jewelry from vMA and trials, she said that weeklies were being made to have a 50% chance to drop jewelry. It's been 3 weeks and I've seen hundreds of items linked, and two jewelry pieces linked. I'm pretty sure there was a mistake and the % value was placed as .50% (half a percent).

Not only this but it wasn't clarified if the chance to drop jewelry would be a 50% to drop a BONUS item (on top of the guaranteed weapon of vMA gear) or if it would be just a split to find one or the other. Removing chances for guaranteed weapons in vMA is pretty silly, as I've literally cleared it twice a week since it's release and still am missing weapons.

I understand that you want the grind to get these sets to be long and hard so that when we finally get the proper pieces we're happy and excited with it, but with the current mechanics of random items random traits makes it absolutely unreliable. This has been a MASSIVE issue since the game's release from Undaunted Helms and plenty other sets, yet never gets better. You remove a few undesired traits to make it a little better, but this is just not enough. There are so many cool and interesting ways to fix this issue, from a token system to including a new crafting mechanic- I don't see how this issue has lasted two years. The players who put in the time and effort to get the gear they want deserve to have a manageable goal, not some system with no rhyme or reason that leaves some players literally unable to ever get what they need. End this madness once and for all.

Something equally as odd is that I haven't seen any non jewelry at all come out of the end chest of Maw of Lorkaaj. Plenty of the 3 sets (hircine/ebon/worm) and I've seen blue jewelry from the 3 raid sets, but not a single weapon or clothing piece of raid loot from the chest. Intended? I'm not sure, but if they plan to add jewelry to weeklies, I'd like to see the non jewelry added to the chest.

I still don't like the idea of getting MoL loot from vDSA, AA, etc. weeklies. It kinda forces people to do it on 8 chars to have a chance to get golden jewelry. But instead they get a ton of yellow trash... And no chance to get Healer/Footman golden stuff anymore. @Alcast would call it "rtarded", and I would 100% agree

The chance of getting jewelry seems to be VERY low. Maybe 1 or 2 people got ONE Jewelry from weekly out of all ppl from Hodor guild. Others were left with crap like those, also no gear pieces:


@ZOS_GinaBruno the droprate of jewelry is way too low.

Same RNGesus stuff like in vMA. In fact, I am still mad that we can not get jewelry from vMA anymore. Like Winterborn jewelry

vMA Drop:
Jewelry can only drop in Stage 8 + 9
Armor Pieces drop from Stage 1 to 9
Maelstrom Weapons drop only on stage 9

So the chances that you actually get a Jewelry piece is SO *** LOW OMFG WTF.

Get a propper loot system seriously @ZOS_RichLambert

I've had a legendary arcane Moondancer ring drop from weekly, but the other 3 drops (across 2 weeks on 2 chars) were weapons, largely terrible combinations too (2H Axe Moondancer iirc was one of them).

As @Alcast said too, I really think the Winterborn etc jewellery should be brought into the mix too somehow. It's horrible that we had access to such once then had it ripped away. Perhaps for vMA it should be a Maelstrom weapon AND a chance to get a jewellery piece? Do you know how happy that would make people? It's like when we cleared vMOL and everyone got 2 gold jewellery pieces each - you're only going to get positive feedback in threads over that, it was amazing! Considering the RNG I think giving us multiple loot drops at a time could be a step in the right direction.
