Who has got the perfect trait VMA weapon they wanted?

I just farmed VMA for 20 hours in two days. If I chose to work instead of trying to get the last item I needed to be perfect BIS I could of made $600AUD in that time. Instead I got no sharpened VMA staffs at all (Fire/Light) and didn't work. I choose when I work and its safe to say I will not put off work for something so pointless again.

How about you?

    If I ever get to run VMA, it will be out of interest and to have fun. I know it is often seen as Bis, but i try to replace it with something else when i have such a build.
    At this point, I'm not even motivated to farm VMA because of drop rate.

    Still trying to complete. Although in all fairness I only tried the first round for about 15-20 minutes and haven't gone back due mostly to lack of time to play.

    Good luck to all in their quest for these mythic weapons lol.

    I quit running vMA for like 1-2 months, and almost quit ESO completely at one point.

    Then, randomly, I decided to give vMA a shot for a weekly reward. Just like that I got my sharpened Inferno staff.

    Disgusting how bad the rng is.

    Fun Facts: I actually had a Stam Sorc at the time and really wanted sharpened vMA daggers/axes. After around 150 runs, I looted exactly one one-handed Cruel Flurry enchanted weapon - a Nirnhoned Axe. This character was converted into a very rarely used tank, and I've only really played my Mag Sorc DPS since then.

    Fun Fact 2: I wish I could get a sharpened vMA Ice Staff, but there's no way I'm farming for that lol. Not a chance.

    For stamina builds, yes. I have more than enough stamina weapons in all kinds of traits. Sharpened, precise, nirnhoned, infused, etc. My stamina characters don't need to worry about weapons in the slightest. Magicka on the other hand? No. Far from it.

    Frankly this whole RNG lottery drop system is keeping me from doing VMA and group dungeons. I don't need this lvl of frustration when I'm playing for fun. I'll stick to crafted and BoE stuff.

    I play most games for their multiplayer aspect (especially MMOs), aside from things like Mass Effect, Dishonored, and Doom. So I really just don't find the arduous grind ofor vMA even remotely fun or rewarding enough to spend hundreds of runs attempting to get BiS weapons. I just think it is bad content that is only toiled over because of its drops, and ZOS strings it out with *** RNG.

    Got two sharpened axes, two sharpened daggers, two sharpened lightnings, one sharpened bow, one sharpened inferno... And one sharpened maul and two sharpened battleaxes. Been running the arena pretty often though (100-ish) with weekly rewards on multiple characters each week ;)

    As far as aether/moondancer is concerned, nope, no sharpened staffs.

    Not sure how I am supposed to answer. I did get a sharpened greatsword (one of the many weapons I was looking for) on my sixth run. In my 45-50 runs I've also gotten a sharpened lightning staff. Now all I need is 2 sharpened daggers, sharpened axe, sharpened battle axe, sharpened maul, 2 sharpened inferno staffs, sharpened bow and a sharpened resto. I also wouldn't mind a sharpened ice staff, defending resto and defending bow.

    All I wanted was a 2h sharpened or 1 handed axe/dagger sharpened. I got many resto/bows/SWORD AND SHIELDS/bad traits including weekly rewards. I am satisfied with using precise 1handed weapons while having VO/TBS/Hundings/Veli/Kragh, sucks though.

    I got my sharp inferno about a year to the day after I started running it. I honestly have no idea how many runs that actually is. I got my second sharp inferno 2 runs later (it was actually back to back mDK runs, but had a sorc run in the middle).

    Still dont have a sharp Bow, Maul or Ice staff. I have sharp of everything else (think I had 8 or 9 sharp restos last time i counted).

    Things I would actually like at this point would be the sharp Bow, Maul and a second dagger. Dont really care about the ice staff. I have one in defending, which is probably what I would use if I ever did. But to be frank, I dont care that much so I really dont run it all that much anymore. If there was a token system in place, I would certainly run it more than I do now.

    Just the sharpened 2h Axe I was looking for.

    Now I want a bow, a greasword and a lightning staff, all sharpened of course.

    I don't mind the grind yet, I've only completed it something like 25 times on different characters in a quite long time.
    Plus, I get to pulverize Voriak Solkyn's face, so no, I don't mind it.

    Dark Souls is one of my favourite games of all time. But I don't play an MMO for the Dark Souls experience. I play MMOs for challenging multiplayer content.

    Doing vMA once (or even a few times) is fine. But making it such an important piece of content (that you need run it possibly hundreds of times) is counterintuitive to MMO game design.

    I dont know how many times I have run it but I have managed to get atleast 1 of each weapon type in sharpened. Only 1 sharp destro, lightning. Have only run it a handful of times since receiving the lightning destro in sharpened in hopes of getting an inferno sharpened.

    I have gotten 2x defending 2x decisive inferno staves during the double loot week. Got those 4 staves in 2 runs back to back.

    I am not, I repeat not, doing that thing the literal thousands of runs that are likely going to be required to get Sharpened vMA Inferno staves for 4 Magicka DPS characters.

    Partially.

    From my approximately 100 weapons I received through runs and weekly rewards, I've got

    2x sharpened daggers
    1x sharpened frost staff
    1x sharpened Greatsword
    2 sharpened maul

    many precise frost/lightning staffs

    I'm happy my stam dk is nearly best in slot, but my magicka classes still wait for the real drop.
