    it might be old sets from before they become BOP,
    You can also get dungeon set jewelry from the golden vendor in cyrodil as BOE.
    This is an nice way for PvP only players to earn gold.
    Might be other sources.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    The sets that are BOP in the game, are BOP when they appear at Golden. The sets that are BOE in the game, are BOE when they appear at Golden.

    Like been said, yeah, old sets. I have a few pieces of BOE Hircine's Veneer or whatever it's called I think, they're useless but amusing to have.

    It's one of the easiest ones, just tell your group you're looking for viper at the beginning and they will most likely give you pieces. You can get a full set fairly quickly, there's even a unique dagger.

    There were some items that due to bug on loot-tables were dropping as Bind-On-Equip instead Bind-On-Pickup for a very short time (e.g. Alkosh). And this is most likely one of those items.

    Confused as to how the group could give you pieces if they are bind on pickup.

    For 2 hours after picked up, they're freely tradeable between group members.

    I wound't say HIRCINE's is useless... just for a very specific and unusual use ;)

    If the item was required before One Tamriel, it will be Bound on equip. Not many of those items are left but from time to time you see them. I still have a viper ring in my bank from pre-1T xD

    That's not the case here.

    Some sets were originally BoE. When they were made into BoP in One Tamriel in 2016, the change was not retroactive. What this means was for sets like Worm, there are two different versions of each piece. The ones from before OT are BoE and remain BoE. The ones after OT have entirely different codes and are BoP. In the case of Worm, the new items even have different names ("of the Worm" for the original BoE pieces, "of the Worm Cult" for the new BoP pieces).

    Sets like Worm, Ebon, Viper, etc. all fall under this category: the BoE pieces pre-OT have different item codes and remain BoE. They just don't drop any more and are increasingly rare.

    What @F7sus4 described is a different, unrelated issue and is not at all what the OP is describing. Some BoP pieces were marked as BoE in the itemization table. When they fixed this, it was retroactive. I.e., a BoE Well-Fitted Alkosh shield, when it was fixed to become BoP again, retained its item ID, so the BoE->BoP change was retroactive and affected all copies of the item in the game. Items that had already been listed in a store or sent in the mail would become bound the moment they entered someone's inventory. This means that these mistaken-BoP pieces no longer exist--once 30 days have passed and the item expired from the store listing, they could not be relisted since they would become bound as soon as they entered inventory. And these BoE->BoP glitches were from over a year ago.

    Not true.

    I wasted 1mio on golden Sunderflame rings only to realize they are BoP.

    RIP gold.

    Well, only the gold rings/necklace that are of "overland-character" are BoE. Sunderflame is a dungeon set so therefore not BoE.

    Checked my storage and found some of this legacy items from old times, addon even show they have large price on market, seems they become sort of museum exponats and rose in price lol.
    BTW does one know is unique armor and weapons still obtainable from Molag Bal anchor generals, like Hood of the Voidguide? http://esoitem.uesp.net/itemLink.php?itemid=44245&summary&amp;
    I missed some of them.

    I have a BOE Infused Lich helmet, from the days of getting that set randomly from Dolmens only.

    That's the kind of thing I wish I could display in my house on a shelf.

    I could be like this guy:

    Instead of a big smelly troll head, it could be my BOE Lich helmet as a conversation piece.

    Items from the golden vendor are only BOE if they are regularly BOE.
