Dead/removed sets from eso?

I have a question, im sure most people wont know or care but does anyone know for 100% certainty if they have removed sets from the game? I'm trying to get some pieces for the "arms of the ancestors" set. Its a 3 piece set and it used to drop from certain dungeons like the other weird 3 piece sets like "relics of the physician, ansur". Most people probably haven't heard of these sets, they're older and i haven't seen any except the "relics of the physician one" since around dark brotherhood. Others include, arms of inference, relics of the rebellion, treasures of the earthforge and the destruction suit. Plus the one im looking for ( arms of the ancestors ). These are all 3 piece sets, they drop in specific pieces like a bow and rings, or a staff and rings etc, from certain dungeons. The one im looking for adds 1800 penitration, and i have a couple pieces of it already from a while back (but they are cp140 if i recall), the bow and i think a ring. Others add weapon damage, spell resist, and do other weird things.

The point of this all is, i know there is a couple other 3 piece sets besides agility, like leeching, but my question pretty much is this, has anyone seen these sets (except for relics of the physician) since one tamriel. And does anyone know for sure if they would or have dropped these sets or any other sets from the game. I was gonna put in a ticket for this, but they like to send you to the forums for this type of thing, but its hard to get a 100% answer for vague stuff like this. Thanks

    Pretty sure they aren't dropping at this point. I've not seen them since all dungeons got their own unique drops. Relics of the Physician Ansur, Relics of the Rebellion, Arms of the Ancients

    Ya thanks, im pretty sure to, just looking for a confirmation but i dont have many hopes about getting it.. Its just weird if they did that, because im 99.99% sure it wasn't in any patch notes from the last 4-5 main updates, nor any other patches that ive seen..

    There is an add-on Itemization Browser. It has every set in the game and where to get it. You have to bind it in the controls, don't forget!

    The sets he mentioned are not included in Itemization Browser. I'm guessing it's because they aren't dropped anymore or something.
    Make PC NA raiding great again!

    Down with drama!

    They maxed out back in v14 days. After a point they were nigh impossible to collect and underlevelled, in 1T they were removed from the loot pool entirely.

    Those sets are gone. New sets started to drop from dungeons and replaced ol 3 piece setups that 99,9% of population was not using.

    damn idk i just think they should have put it in the patch notes or something, and thats true that most people dont use them, but heres the thing ive seen the relics of the physician one drop after one tamriel.. So maybe thats the only one. Idk i wanted to try them and i have this useless stuff now, weird that they would do that and leave us the stuff to do nothing with. Thanks for the info everyone.

    There are a lot of "dead" sets that you can still loot or craft (especially craft).

    Hearing rumors that Morrowind is revamping some of them ... not waiting with baited breath??

    That is because its no point farm or craft an second best set.
    Buying them makes some sense as they are cheap.
    This will always be true.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Theres way too many sets anyway, imho like many things in this game, this too needs overhaul. 30 wisely chosen sets would be enough for this game.

    Actually you might not know this but there was a time when the average health of a max level player was around the 2000 point mark and the only time anyone ever did 10000 DPS was when they were empowered by a certain amulet while fighting a certain daedra, then ZOS decided for whatever reason to inflate the numbers by adding an extra 0 onto them so instead of 2000 we now have 20000.

    @Sheva171 Can you still be holding this item, or is it a screencap from an old patch? IIRC there was a Necromancer set before One Tamriel released, which was replaced with the current "Robes of the Withered Hand" with the same effects.

    That's a very old screenshot. Pre-1.6 at the very least. I think Pre-1.2, since the enchantment is locked.

    This is one of the other sets. There are 5 of them, and being cp rank they obviously were in dark brotherhood. Who knows, prob got removed with one tamriel. And @KochDerDamonen was that necromancer set replaced with/turned into withered hand?

    I believe Necromancer used the same motif as Worm Cult and Withered Hand. As far as I know, the set itself is gone.

    No no, withered hand has its own unique appearence now. Before it appeared the same as the Worm Cult set, then it was changed to have the effects that withered hand has currently. 1T made it into that set, then. ^^

    Arms of the ancestors, thorn and a few other 3 piece sets were removed from the drop tables when 1T came out. Some set items like those were automatically converted to other specific sets, if you had them in inventory or your bank etc.

    Where'd you find it if it's still in the game @itzTJ ? Because I've run hundreds of dungeons since One Tam and never once seen it drop nor see anyone else report it drop.

    Is there enough players to add more sets? If there was 30 good sets, that would be more than enough for current playerbase. I would overhaul and make all sets fun and useful, then leave it there, and of course come back to if it ESO start to grow as snowball. Its time to focus on quality. If there was 30 good sets, people would spend so much time in the game, trying them, but currently most of them are pure junk what makes people leave instead.

    If I put it right, sets should be like a Candy shop for players, all kind of flavors to try, therefore spend tons and tons of time in the game. But currently, even idiot can see big chunk of them are junk and they just leave the game. At least thats how I visioned this game, sadly Zen has taken some wrong turns.

    @Magdalina darkshade caverns and i didnt find it someone else got it and linked it, but only the healing one, ive never seen the others since one tamriel. Also, i know for sure it was during one tamriel because it was trade-able and i was hunting automaton ( 500+ runs and never seen a sharp 1h/2h, thanks eso rng!) Early in one tamriel though.
