1T: Where do the purple items drop?

So I was grinding Deeshan on the PTS trying to find some Plague Doctor. I managed to drop a green necklace, and 4 green rings while fighting overland creatures, doing dolmens, and inside delves. Where does the purple stuff come from?
On another note, they really need to increase the amount of mobs in each zone.. I only saw about 4 people, but we cleared each area way too fast and ended up racing from mob to mob. It's going to be havoc when everyone is on there trying to get the drops they want.

    Dolmens and bosses drop the good stuff. :)

    I tried a few dolmens, but just got green stuff :/ I suppose it's a random chance at purple or something?

    it's the good old RNG back to haunt you...on the odd occasion you do get purple jewellery from the Dolmen chests. I got a purple Elegant ring on the PTS and then did the exact same Dolmen a bit later and got green drops.

    Cool, thanks for the info. Glad to know they actually do drop. I never had much luck with the RNG xD

    While on PTS I found one master chest inside the public dungeon in Deshaan. There was a purple ring inside. I had treasure hunter active at the time. I found a few other purple pieces while randomly farming in the zone for an hour or so.

    100% drop rate of set items from dolmens and bosses is a horrendous idea.

    I still can't wrap my mind around the idea they decided this was smarter than making new dailies reward set items, with reduced overland drop rates.

    Besides, for non-jewelry pieces it does not really matter if they drop in Epic quality or not.
    So I guess dolmens will be camped for a bit longer than bosses and delves.

    Oh yeah, I can also second this.
    Treasure Hunter + Master chest will grant you purple pieces, almost certainly.

    Still need to farm trait and piece. It will be one big grind party. At least a few of the sets I'm after are in the same place.

    Better than getting the gear handed to you. Maybe people can actually make money off the jewlery.

    Instructions unclear, got stuck in the Colored Rooms being lectured by Meridia.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    You people actually thought getting the set jewelry you wanted would be easier this way?

    I guess if you like running blue and green items you will be fine.

    Cheers!

    Yes it will.
    And the party will last for one week.

    Then we will have traders flooded with set items that sell for scrap for the next X years.
    Only Jewelry will have any real value.
