WTB Dark Shaman costume runebox.





Wait what? Are you saying the players who got double drops were not only denied said duplicate drops but also locked out of making some money out of them while helping those less fortunate with their RNG?

What kind of event is that??

I have 14 to open tonight after work from cramming in normals last minute.

Will report anything of note. Hoping for a deed!

undaunted keys, lock picks, treasure maps and mimic stones... also some purple tri stat pots

and the final tally. lots and lots of repair kits, tripots, treasure maps and surveys, and of course 1k plunders. outside of treasure hunter and blacksmith i got early one, no other costumes. no pet, no mount. did get couple more CwC recipes, nothing purple, but nice looking chair and table. oh and one Aetherial dust.

what I would like to know now. did ANYONE win the house jackpot? and if someone did, which houses were in it?

Disappointment, Undaunted keys and Crown Store trash

For statistics, from 15 boxes: 2 x Crown Tri-Pots, 4 x Crown Repair kit, Dyes, Imperial War Horse, 5 x Undaunted key, 3 x Undaunted Plunder, 3 x Mimic stone, 2 x Survey, Chef costume, Transmute crystals (didn't count them), 2 x Treasure map, 2 x Crown XP scroll

~50 dungeon 1 costume (treasure hunter) 1 pet (mastiff).

The event was not bad, Of course I would have been happier if I could exchange crown items (repair kit, potion, mimic stone, exp scroll, etc) to crown gem (gem extraction).

well overall, did it on 9 chars (cheated a little, deleted one everyday, because I only have 2 maxed out char, only play one :d) except last day, overall a lot of dyes (meh, who needs that with eso+) some surveys( its fine) some furnishing plans (meh for me) blacksmith and chef (kinda collectible trash, cause never gonna wear it, would gladly gift them away if that would be possible but hey nope) dog (not the cutest, but I love everykind of dog so half happy, but happy) 1 horse which prob ruined my rng (never gonna use it again, I only use wolf mounts so meh, if there's ever a chance to gift away stuff, gladly gift it away especially for dark shaman :d)
overall, meh waste of an event at least no lockpicks for me

I did two dungeon runs, one with each of my CP level character; which are the first two dungeons I've ever done (and I really suck at them; many thanks to the people in both groups who were very nice and understanding about my suckage ).

I don't remember exactly, but I know I got an Undaunted item worth 1000 gold to sell; a dye stamp set, a couple of transmute crystals; and a couple of treasure maps (I like treasure maps, so that's good); prolly had something else, but I'm not really sure what all was regular dungeon loot as opposed to event loot.

I am unlikely to do dungeons again anytime soon (due to my suckage at dungeons), for the most part I prefer to play at a more sedate pace and approach my targets and soften them up with a bow before I get close and it seems that the pace of a dungeon does not suit this old fart all that well; fortunately this game offers many different options on how to play and get enjoyment.

My 60 boxes

Would have been kewl if it was like 5 per day any toon.
I only have one dungeon toon.. It was fun pugging. Made a few friends as well from pug groups.

Good things:

• 4 costumes. The only wanted was Dark Shaman - and I received it from the last box.

However, treasure hunter is not bad, but it looks good only with duals.

• 2 purple CWC plans, one or two blue and 4-5 green (two simular, but they do not stack);
• 3 alchemical surveys;
• 1 item that costs 10k.

Not so useful:

• 7 repair kits (rarely go in places where it is needed);
• 9 mimic stones;
• transmutation stones and keys (didn't count);
• some plunders (better than nothing, of course, but... ).

Useless for me:

• 90 potions;
• 6-8 treasure maps;
• 9 dyes, two of them simular (have ESO+. And they are boring!).

No lockpics.
And no horse.
I wanted horse!
I'm playing mostly for imperials, and I wanted that horse! :'(

Also no dog, but I don't like it, so doesn't matter.

Final tally and thoughts

Total of 73 boxes (2 accounts 56 on one 17 on the other):

Crappy die stamps (worst idea ever) 15
Transmute crystals 12
Crown tri pots(5x) 17
Crown repair kits 16
Treasure maps 28
Survey maps 6
Crown mimic stones 13
Undaunted plunder 11
Undaunted key 12
Blue clockwork housing recipe 1
Crown xp scroll 2
Green clockwork housing recipe 5
Blacksmith costume 2
Chef costume 1
***Imperial War horse mount 2***
Dark Shaman costume 2

Obviously I am pretty happy to have gotten the mount on both accounts. I figured that if I got one mount out of this thing I would be stoked. Overall I don't think the normal "rare" rewards "imperial war mount, war dog, shaman, hunter, chef and butcher) wern't to bad RNG wise. It is a bit of a shame though that the "common" rewards are such crap. Some more green clockwork motifs or transmute crystals would have been nice. Alternately, if we could have turned in things like the crown pots for gems those would have seemed like nice rewards. As is, the afore-mentioned collectable rewards seem OK in terms of both RNG and what they actually are but the stuff you get the rest of the time is such garbage. The regular rewards should have been things that you don't straight up delete.

I will also mention here that the RNG was unfortunate with it's lack of sophistication with respect to re-rolling the same reward. Most people never saw any of this but with the right loot tracking add on you could see that duplicate collectables could be rolled and that if this happened an instant re-roll was triggered but that this re-roll included the entire loot table not just the collectables on that tier of rareness. The effect of this was that the more collectables you got the less likely it became on any given roll to get something you wanted. This is why I didn't do so many dailies the last day. I still wanted just the treasure hunter costume at the end of the event but since most of my rare rolls would just revert to common rolls I didn't bother. The rng on the re-roll of a rare item should have included only items from the same rarity tier or, if that was complete just one tier down in the CWC recipe tier. Including crap in re-rolls for duplicate rare items quickly makes the RNG much much worse.

Lastly, I will mention the "real" rare items in this event. According to the advert, it should have been possible to get a 20mount 20 house pack as well as a great elk and other unspecified mounts and houses. I heard third-hand, and therefore of questionable reliability, that a bloke got the medium sized imperial house in craiglorn. That is all. How do I put this? If the rarity of drops is such that literally nobody playing the game in the course of an entire event gets them how do you even know they were functionally in the loot table? I'm just saying, I expected somebody on the forum to at least claim to get something outside of the normal loot distribution. It just seemed a bit off to me that nobody has claimed to hit the jackpot. Somebody ought to hit the jackpot. We are talking about virtual items that actually cost nothing to award here. Next time, think about dropping enough of them that you actually get a few winners showing up on the forum to brag about it. People are likely to put in a bit more effort if they actually think it is possible to win.

Anyhow, I enjoyed the event overall and feel rewarded. The imperial horse especially is very shiny.
