Nirncrux Drop Rate Ninja Nerfed?

I don't often get Surveys these days but when I do I seem to be coming up empty in the Nirncrux area. Just did a Clothier and Woodworker Survey and neither produced Nirncrux. RNG can be mean at times but this is just plain suspicious.
Did you nerf the drop rate for Nirncrux or something Zenimax? If so change it back... If not perhaps it's time for a bit of an increase.

✭✭I went nirn farming yesterday in Craglorn. In about 3 hours time, I found 1 fortified. It was early and there was zero competition so I was hitting all nodes at a good clip. I've never really farmed for it before so I am not sure if this is normal. Survey's I cannot comment on either as I have been overleveled for the Craglorn writs for some time and as far as I know, that's the only place that nirncrux or nirnhoned drops.0 -
Serenityx✭✭✭Seems like a lot of things are in short supply in guild stores on xbone. My suspicion is that it's due to the heavy volume of players during XP event, all my gold mats/roes and other pricey items that usually take a bit sell sold quickly during XP week.Edited by Serenityx on April 18, 2016 2:48PM3 -

Being honest....I think having 8/10 and 9/10 are producing better results compared to 10/10. Perhaps it would be best to discuss with those who have tested this vs. arguing opinion

1 respect and remove skill point from clothing, black smithing, and woodworking skill. Only put a max of 8 points into the first skill of each.
2. Doing number one will give your crafting surveys to be located in Craglorn and the lush cloth, wood, and void stone from crag surveys have a high chance of dropping Nirhnoned trait material.
It's not rare, just many don't know this. Now you do....now pay it forward by putting cheaper nirn on the market

KaleidoscopeEyz✭✭✭✭Having 9 of 10 in crafting is better because then you can get Craglorn surveys and increase the likelihood of getting nirn by seeing additional resources. When you go 10 of 10, you are probably dropping your writs off in Orsinium.0 -
myrrrorb14_ESO✭✭✭✭✭It drops a lot more on the surveys than the random nodes. But the drop rates are so low that even multiplied out is fairly insubstantial.. I like your increase the rate proposal.Edited by myrrrorb14_ESO on April 18, 2016 3:57PM0 -
DurzoBlint13✭✭✭✭did 5 Craglorn surveys Saturday and got 6 Nirn from them. 3 from one survey, double Potent from another, and 1 from last node on last survey. However, the 4 surveys I did before those only got me 1 Nirn. Sometimes you just have better luck than others. On average I am getting 2 Nirn out of 3 surveys....this is about the same I got before they changed Lower Crag to drop them also1

✭✭Damn, after reading all these responses, it would seem that it doesn't really pay anymore to be doing the higher level Wrothgar turn in's. Which is pretty dumb but that's a debate for another thread. How are the gold temper drops now from the Craglorn writs? I get a good deal of those from the Orsinium turn in, but if the Craglorn is comparable...again...dumb.0 -

I think that was because for a while, Surveys were a great source of Nirn, netting one on almost each survey. The only way to get Craglorn Surveys is by doing L8/L9 Mat Writs. As for just farming the stones, my L10 in Materials gets, or did a while back, just fine. I have not farmed for Nirn for a while now as I don't need any. But, she would find 1 to 3 of them each farming run up in Craglorn.
Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

Well, I think it depends on what you want to make money on. You can still sell Rubedo and Ancestor Silk for a good amount, and you can get a stack faster than getting a Nirncrux if you are farming. In addition, if you need to craft VR16 gear for yourself, you are better off farming in Wrothgar and Hew's Bane over farming Nirncrux in Craglorn because then you will have to either buy the stacks from the market OR just decon items from VR15-16 Dungeon runs and zones, which can take a while.0 -

True. I just have so many stacks of v16 mats right now, it's not even funny. Really should probably just buy the nirn pieces I need to finish off some 9th traits.0 -

For awhile this was how it was for me. One Nirncrux per survey most of the time, but not always. Also I run 9/10 Equipment and Enchanting Writs. Now lately I can't seem to get any Nirncrux, even from 2 Surveys in 1 day... That has happened before but it was quickly rectified. Couple this with the seemingly reduced rate of getting Surveys in general and it just feels like Nirncrux is a bit harder to come by now unless you wanna spend a lot of time farming it on regular nodes...Guildmaster of Power With Numbers in PS4 NA Server's Aldmeri Dominion.

There a quite a few responses stating nirn is being found. Add that with your own lowered drop rate, and you seem to get typical RNG, not an across the board reduction or nerf. I've gone for days with no nirn, followed by several nirn in a few minutes. The same applies to writs.

If it was typical RNG I would not have made this thread. As I said RNG can be bad at times but not THIS bad, and I am not the only one with it bad according to a few posts here but then again I only tend to get them from Surveys as I do not go seeking them across Craglorn. Those with it good may just have good RNG. Still would not hurt to get word from Zenimax on the current state of this, especially before they release it to drop in DLC Zones like they said they would.Edited by UltimaJoe777 on April 18, 2016 8:10PMGuildmaster of Power With Numbers in PS4 NA Server's Aldmeri Dominion.
