    Get over the smart loot crap. What you think it means and what ZOS meant by it are completely different.

    I know. Their definition is extremely narrow, and since it's possible to do fire damage with an ice staff equipped, via class/guild abilities, proc sets, or DoTs laid down by another bar, it doesn't meet their very narrow definition.

    However, none of that means that their loot system is undeserving of ridicule--hopefully the kind that would get them to reexamine that aforementioned definition.

    (Edit: On second thought, I'm going to backtrack on that first paragraph. Their criteria of excluding ranged weapons from sets that proc off of melee damage is actually analogous: although you can't deal melee damage with a bow's attacks/abilities, you can still deal melee damage with a non-weapon ability while the bow is equipped. Yet ZOS still removed all bows from sets that proc from melee damage. So by that criteria of exclusion, this ice staff doesn't fit.)

    Smart loot is just for dungeon equipment, right?
    Because that explains this, since Ysgramor's Birthright is an overland set:

    Still stupid, though.
    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.

    Yes, the sharpened inferno burning spellweave stuff does drop in game. I believe the drop came from the lurcher boss in vCoA1 for my friend who conveniently traded it to me thereafter.

    All trash mobs in a dungeon have a chance of dropping any item of one of the dungeon's sets, including weapons and jewelry.

    However, the boss drops are very specific: large armor pieces from big bosses, small armor pieces from small bosses, weapons/shields/jewelry from the final boss, and a chance of a named items from certain bosses. The only named staff belonging to the Spellweave set is an infused resto staff that drops from the Warden. What probably happened was that one of the trash mobs right before the lurcher boss dropped a fire staff; the lurcher himself will never drop a staff because his standard drop is an armor piece and his named drop is a 2-handed maul (you'd think that a lurcher would drop something wooden for his unique named item; go figure).

    If that's the case, then I'm doing something wrong. I am still not getting "smart loot" in dungeons. Magicka sets in 2h and bows, stamina sets in staves.

    That would be a huge pile of burning wood 10 times larger than the elden root tree.

    Can we make the fire in daggerfall? That place could do with being rebuilt in a more town planning kind of way
