Achievements Almost Impossible? Character Trophies

relaxed83 · August 2017

How many people have actually completed the Trophies achievements? I've gotten some of the drops which I think are more likely to drop than others like the chattering skull etc but I been playing this game since beta with a short break...I've done a lot of PVE, a wide variety of dungeons etc and I have yet to complete one... I am closest to finishing this one only two away ... http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/The_Living_Dead I need the Tomb Urn and Twitching Arm... I've never seen anyone get these in drops nor myself.... I know they're extremely rare but you'd think after playing almost daily since beta I'd see at least one drop? I mean some of the achievements I only have one trophy and the list is like 8 in some cases.

I'm 1 or 2 away from a couple - yah, they don't seem to drop very often

I suspect it's even worse for hard core pvp'ers, as almost all of those trophies drop on pve mobs - I've been playing since early release, mostly focused on pve and questing and you're right - I haven't completed a single one, although I am close on 2 or 3 of them (within 1 or 2 trophies)

does seem like a fantastically low drop rate (not fantastic good, but just fantastic as in hard to believe is real) maybe if they just adjusted the drop rate to be fixed, but automatically include one you hadn't already found...something like that

*shrug* anyway, apparently I haven't pve'd enough yet

I've never had a problem getting the Twitching Draugr Arm. I keep finding the darn thing rooting in my pockets, no mater what character I'm on

One of the worst for my brother was the Shadow Skin from the Lamias. He farmed those things for over a week before one dropped. I joined him once just for fun and got it on the third kill

I'm only missing two trophies on my main. But to be fair, when I started, trophies had to be used for the achievement to tick, so my main was using any trophies the alts managed to find. Nowadays it's a lot longer grind.

I'm pretty sure there is a decreasing probability to get the last trophies of a set, depending on the number of trophies you've already collected. I see a lot of trophies on my alt chars that my main char is hunting for 3 years now. One of the most stupidest RNG in this game (and that says a lot .....)

You gotta grind for those. I know people who have them all but they just went to where mobs of corresponding type are and farmed them for days/weeks til it dropped. It's easier to farm with One Tamriel at least - you're no longer locked out of certain mob types farm spots due to outleveling them.

Without that, I think I have just 2 completed on my main(playing since launch) and most everything else like halfway done. I think they were flatout broken and literally NEVER dropping for first year or so after launch too.

I'd like ZoS to see this thread and maybe they'll make an adjustment on these drops in the future... I mean the rewarding dyes aren't even that great they're pale and ugly...but for those completionists it's terrible... I mean 3-4 years of playing for a crappy dye? Come on....

I completed them entirely. Its not hard. Just grind mobs . Also good reason to burn out enlightenment and get some gold out of it.

I just got the MUDCRAB one to finish that set. I have no idea how many I've fried over the years. Went grinding in Grahtwood for about two hours to get it.
