Are you happy with your Dro M'athra drops so far?

Erraln · April 2016

Here's what I've recieved in the past month, rewarded from weekly Trial challenges and bi-weekly vMoL attempts with a smattering of random Normal clears.

It's a little disconcerting to have duplicated slots so soon, but I suppose that's just luck of the draw. I was hoping to have access to Minor Slayer at this point; how goes it for the rest of you? Has anyone managed to build a set?

NateAssassin · April 2016

I haven't recieved any

tfw you can't find groups running, guilds gave up on it, and friends would rather play other games

lolo_01b16_ESO · April 2016

No

You forgot to post all the ornate stuff you get from the bosses. I really hope the last boss always drops set items, but it would be nice to get something better than 4 white non set items for each evening that we attempt the last boss.

Vrienda · April 2016

Haven't even gotten into the instance yet. I really want that skin too!

ZOS need to enable the ability to queue for normal mode trials.

SienneYviete · April 2016

I hope so too. And yea, getting whites from trial content can be less than pleasing.

Loot timer? Specify please.

code65536 · April 2016

No

Lots and lots of white decon/vendor items if I've run it more than once that week on that toon.

Oh, and I've gotten 2x Moondancer bows and 1x Twilight Remedy bows. Only 2 rosin out of those 3 decons.

You are only guaranteed loot on your first kill of that boss each week on each character. After that it's a percentage chance to get loot (i.e. not guaranteed) for the rest of the week. This means once you've killed first boss for example you can kill him again and again but you won't always get loot until the weekly timer resets. It's ridiculous.

My loot so far:

Almost nothing I want as a DPS and tons of stuff our healers/tanks need. I've also deconned about 20 pieces so far out of rage. Can we get in-group trading now please @ZOS_GinaBruno?

Well, that's one way to incentivize alternate characters. What are your thoughts on the Remedy set, have you given it a try?

timidobserver · April 2016

No

They dropped the ball on this. People that face roll through AA and HelRa on a few alts every week have more and better quality vMoL gear than the people actually killing bosses in vMoL.

I am not sure I understand this, because the first time we killed Zhaj'hassa in vet, half the raid received a white item.
And no, he wasn't killed in normal mode before (well some of us did kill him in normal, but not me, and I received a white item)

Another thing, in the chest of the first trash event, it seems that 80% of the time, you will receive the exact same loot if you already opened it the same day (we had a "disband accident" in front of the second boss, most of the people who got a loot in each chest got the exact same piece, same trait).

Honestly I have no idea, it may well be a bug? I am just regurgitating what ZOS told me which is that you are only guaranteed loot on your first kill per week. Either way it's a ridiculous system that I really can't see the point in. Some of us want to raid constantly to get the new gear but feel punished in doing so.

Remedy set is nice, the heal is strong and minor force is very nice however in my opinion the buff is too short as it only lasts ten seconds. If it lasted 30 seconds like the Moondancer 5-set it would be absolutely phenomenal. All of this is predicated on using the jewellery mind you so you can wear it as a second 5-set.

caperon · April 2016

Is here where we can discuss the leaderboard system and the legions of alts that fill more than half of the leaderboard with 2-3 guilds?

Phinix1 · April 2016

No

Random traits on random drops and no crafting option to re-trait = Worse gear design model in video game history.

Seriously, this is the main reason why I typically don't even bother with end game content. I usually just delete my v16's and start over.

Something deeply flawed with a design model that discourages participation.

Ah I see, I wasn't aware that ZoS had stated something on this. And yeah I agree with you, there's is only so few benefit in raiding already but the challenge and the sport

I'm quite annoyed that for the weekly trial rewards they decided to include the entire 90 item loot table. I've received quite a lot of garbage, though nothing so glorious as a bow of Moondancer/Twilight Remedy.

It seems the actual drops from the trial are far more reasonable as I got two armour drops from the two encounters I have done on veteran, as well as what I have heard from a lot of my friends.

I already have 5 pieces of the Moodancer set, but three of the pieces aren't items I would use. It has a really good 5 piece effect though. I can't wait until I actually have 5 armour pieces that go with my current setup.

And while the loot table is far too ridiculous, I don't really mind it. The actual trial is really well-designed and fun, which can't really be said about Sanctum Ophidia, which is extremely poor designed and is a pain in the ass to grind for gear (back when that was a thing).

By incentivizing easier raid content, it gives groups something to do while they work on their coordination and builds, I think.

I'd agree that the in-trial drops seem to have a bit more logic to them, though admittedly I haven't seen the final chest. Would any Hodor members care to reveal whether the mismatched weapons we've seen on the weekly rewards are kept by Rakkhat?

And yea, the Trial itself is really fun.

Silver_Strider · April 2016

I haven't done it enough to really get much.

So far
Sharpen Maul of Alkosh
Divine Moondancer Shoes
Ring of the Lunar Bastion Arcane
Bow of Twilight's Remedy - Rosin now
War Axe of Twilight's Remedy - No Tempering Alloy :'(

Shame on your decon, too bad there's not a Dro M'athra motif, huh? Only craftable by raiders with gear to sacrifice~

You know people would pay a pretty drake to dance the Bent Dance

Thank you! Did a little research. Those weapons (and probably the armor as well) have the same appearance as the 4th Tier Khajiit motif!

My guess is that those blue highlights on the armor and blue spots on the weapons are what make it "Dro M'athra" over 4th tier Khajiit.

This is similar to how Ancient Elf and Maormer are the same except they have different textures.

Paulington · April 2016

No

Absolutely! The dro-M'athra are bent cats, Khajiit that have been corrupted.

Every cat can see the moons, feel the caress of their sweet light as it shines on fur. Every cat feels the tug of the tides, the rhythm of the Two Moons Dance that cannot be ignored.

But not every cat hears the words Jone and Jode whisper as they prowl the celestial barrens between gentle Nirni and the Dark Behind the World, protecting her from the howling in the emptiness. And this is why the Moon Bishop leads the kittens, trailing the string of secrets as he trots ahead, teaching them of the Motions and the Tides.

A true cat hunts without rest for the Right Trail, trying one after another of the endless paths Jone and Jode dance into the sky even when paws ache and throats cry for milk. They have worn more trails than there are grains of sugar in all the world, and it is easy for a cat to grow bored and abandon the chase. And this is why the Moon Bishop inspires the kittens, sharing stories of the oldest times, nudging them back to the hunt.

Every cat longs for the Sands Behind the Stars, where sugar forms the dunes. Every cat dreams of the Moonlight Chorus, the joyous sound the true cats know.

But not every cat will know Khenarthi’s tender embrace at the end of their days, and not every soul will fly beyond to bask in the warmth without end. And this is why the Moon Bishop must rebuke the naughty cats, swatting the ones who stray upon their flanks until they return to the paths the Moons weave.

A true cat may stumble, may lose his way among the deep woods and come upon the temptations of a darker dance led by the Frightful Heart. Fear may seize the soul, confuse the mind, and baffle the senses. And this is why the Moon Bishop must be the Loudest Cat, to blow the reeking haze away with the strength of his words.

They are the same motifs, just slightly modified.

I've gotten good and bad drops. I love my robust alkosh neck, but sadly lack enough pieces to complete a set. I could do without defending restoration staves of alkosh, or moonlight 2h mauls.

We've completed vMOL 3 times now and it has only every dropped jewellery from the last boss. Turns out we've been lucky and getting hard mode loot for clearing it without hard mode activated (2 gold jewellery for the first clear of the week, then 1 gold jewellery for subsequent clears within a week).

No weapons have dropped for anyone yet on last boss. 3 clears, 2 jewellery each, 12 people = 72 chances - though some of us only got 1 jewellery piece on our latest clear as we did it on the same character as the previous run. So, fewer than 72 chances. I'll bet weapons don't drop on last boss at all though.

Weapons (and shields as far as I recall) of the new sets are dropped by the second boss, the false moon twins S'kinrai and Vashai. As @EgoRush has said, only jewellery seems to drop from the last boss.

Thanks for the information, and for taking the time to post up those beautiful weapons. Having the jewelry held at the end seems like a great choice for the loot table. I'm sure Zeni is well aware that those are the slots we need to have the most flexibility with our set choices, so to put them as the prize for full clears and hard mode clears fits well.

I just managed to finish the set on my healer and I will definitely give it a shot in trials (vMoL too) with my Spell Power cure set. It looks really promising but I just don't like the fact that I'm using 7 light now.

They honestly should limit it to global names and not characters for the weekly non-vMoL. It is really a pro-alt game system. For vMoL there should no loot timer at all as it is an extremely difficult raid.
