Bugged drop rates for Puspocket mushrooms and Blackmarrow Slab

Puspocket mushrooms and the Blackmarrow Table Slab furniture plan appear to have bugged drop rates. These items are supposed to drop in the Dragon Bones dungeons on Veteran difficulty.
Dragon Bones has been out for nearly a month and not a single Puspocket mushroom or a Blackmarrow plan has dropped on North America server. Not a single one! I scanned on TTC every day for them.
Solution is to review the drop rates and adjust them so that these items can be obtained within an average human lifespan. I don't mean make them drop like candy, just have them drop often enough that we as players no longer doubt that these items exist.

✭✭✭✭✭Granted, it's very possible that the people who find the plan immediately use them rather than sell them; they wouldn't show on TTC if that were the case.ALL HAIL SNUGGLORR THE MAGNIFICENT, KING OF THE RNG AND NIRN'S ONE TRUE GOD!

The crafted item would show on TTC if they sell it and so far it hasn't shown up. The likelihood that none dropped is very high.
The drop rate is too low. On Europe only one has dropped and the person with it has a monopoly.0 -
Blacknight841✭✭✭✭✭I assume that they have the same drop rate as Ayleid plans. But if you consider how many loops you can run in bonesnap, vs the amount of time you spend in a single run of a dungeon, and assuming they only drop of the humanoid creatures, (like the ayelid plans) it is easy to see that it would take a lot longer to farm one out. I assume they will start to turn up more regularly when they add a motif in the dungeon and people will have a reason to run loops in the dungeon.0 -

✭"monsters in Fang Lair and Scalecaller Peak have a small chance to drop various decorative Puspocket Mushroom furnishings, as well as a rare Praxis for a Blackmarrow furnishing"
It doesn't say veteran only...
I have been killing trash in normal and nothing yet. I can't always get a group or have time for a group - seemed like a good way to up my chances...

✭I had no idea there were furnishing recipe drops in these dungeon. I can't even get a group together for one. People are avoiding these dungeons like they do the HOTR dungeons because they're hard and not in a fun kind of hard way. I am OK with challenging us, i want challenging content, but it seems ZOS has no idea how to make something challenging without turning into a chore.
And I'm sure the drop rate is bugged. They ***'d up the drop rate for a lot of things when they decided to nerf the drop rate for certain things. And I'm so bored with reporting these things...Edited by jssriot on March 15, 2018 7:04PMPC-NA since 2015. Tired and unimpressed.1
