How does this game know EXACTLY what I want?

I'm sitting on conference calls all day and have my main character camped out in a Deshaan delve, farming for one item: Shoes of a Mother's Sorrow. A few weeks ago, during the event, I farmed here for skulls and probably got 20+ sets of these shoes, but didn't save any. Now I want them.
So camping here all day, I've gotten:
Shoes of the Night Mother: 11 pairs
Sabatons of the Plague Doctor: 6
Sash of a Mother's Sorrow: 8
Belt of the Night Mother: 12
Girdle of the Plague Doctor: 5
Sash of a Mother's Sorrow: 0
Really?
I don't even care about the trait. Somehow, this game knows exactly what I'm farming for and is determine to give me everything but that. Don't get me started on the 89 keys it took me to get a single medium Velidreth helm!

✭✭✭✭✭Whenever i look for Stamina items, i use my Sorc to farm and vice versa.
Since ZOS RNG is weighted i wouldn't put it past them to look at your basic character stats and make it harder for you to find items that fit your current character.

✭✭✭✭✭Roll a tank and create a desperate need for Plague Doctor gear. Then you will get your Sorrow Shoes...Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

I do the same! I use my magica Templar to farm Stam hear and vice versa. Works like a charm.6 -

✭✭Don't feel bad, OP.
I could really use a 20lb bag of $100 bills, but the game refuses to give me that as well...

✭✭✭✭✭I asked this very question to my guildie two nights ago.
I farmed for overwhelming got only truth
I make a new build
I farm for automaton and get overwhelming...
I ask my bud, how the #$&+ did it know I changed builds?
Was farming on my PvE character that doesn't change1 -

✭✭✭✭✭I've suspected this as well. When I'm farming for Elegance jewelry/gear on my magicka characters, I never seem to find any. But when I'm on my level 30 stamina toon, suddenly every drop is a purple Elegance necklace.*
(*LOL. Slight exaggeration, but it sure seems like it, sometimes.)1 -

✭You can't make this up:
After 40+ unsuccessful loots of Divines Shoes of a Mother's Sorrow, I got smart and bought them. But a few weeks later, I built a tank and decide I want some Plague Doctors boots, Sturdy or Infused. Same delve, same boss that was giving me tons of plague doctors back them...
First kill: Divines Shoes of a Mother's Sorrow.

It could be done, what you suggest, but its unlikely they would spend the time given they can be traded.
I think it's more like when there is an amber alert and they say to look out for a red van. You drive to work and are like 'omg never knew there were so many red vans!'

✭Best to farm for magica item on a stam character and vice versa. But i bought a slot to make a mageblade and don't have any other lowbies so farming jewelry for her is a pita.

That happened to me during the Orsinium event, hah. "Guys, I did it! I caught up with the meta from 3 patches ago!"
And by "hah" I mean "I'm dead inside."
If I'm going to be there anyway, like trying to get a whole set, I'll farm it until I have a couple of pieces. But if I only need one specific piece (although with transmutation that isn't even a big deal...) I just buy it if it's BOE. Because eff that noise.Edited by rhapsodious on December 11, 2017 6:31PM0 -

✭✭✭✭✭It certainly seems like "Ornate" is the most common trait in drops. That is, unless you have "Glitter and Gleam" in your quest journal. Then, just like magic, it doesn't drop at all.

✭The way rng works for me is that my stamina toons get magicka gear and my magicka toons get stamina gear.
Yesterday I parked my DK at a dolmen for a while and I got loads of magicka gear, several staves and 1 2H weapon.0 -

Good question, now dungeon sets is another issue, SPC resto staffThis might be a little offtopic but why even bother to farm something that cost few thousands max in best trait? Should have save electricity or go fishing or something
On the other hand combining farming and grinding makes sense but then you are also selling.
Grinding just make you go in circles.
