    For the record, TTC currently has 312 pages of Dubious Camoran Throne listings.

    Edit: 312 pages just for PC NA

    See, and this is the thing - whenever you tell people the price'll drop, they act like you've got three heads. 312 pages of listings, which I can only assume has gone up since this was posted? Of course the price will drop. If people are paying 100k for this, I don't know what's wrong with them.

    The thing is, starting tomorrow, the price will probably increase. Currently, almost nobody is buying them since they are hoping to get them as a reward from the festival boxes. However, when the festival is over, people will buy them since they can't be obtained anymore quickly draining the amount available. Furthermore, since from here on out, some people will also mass purchase the recipes to sell in half a year for a large profit, even further reducing the supply and increasing the price. All this will mean that the supply is at its highest point (no more recipes coming after today) and a huge surge of demand will come the days after the festival is over.

    Got 4 recipes currently stashed away for selling later.
    PS4/NA

    Only got 1 Tent pattern and 1 Jewel of Misrule recipe. Didn't get the Scintillator (sp?) Memento but my friend did, neither of us found it impressive so nothing lost as far as I'm concerned.

    I got 4 from 90 boxes. I gave 2 to guildies last night so they could get the achievement. I used 1 on my crafter and have 1 left to sell when the supply has gone down.

    I had a much higher drop rate on the Dubious recipe than the Jewels recipe this year.

    0 for 67 at the moment. I really hate this festival. I can't even enjoy the double XP and raise 2 of my lower characters because I'm spending so much time on these stupid quests.

    Same *** here. I tried relentlessly except for saturday cuz i was at a easter house party, and nothing. Seriously some ***.

    I didn't plan on running much of the event and ended up doing more than I planned. On the bright side I have a minimum of 3 of everything. Now I just have to figure out how to dump the extra mementos and piles of useless fireworks. Mementos for sale, anyone, hello, anyone, cheap, I didn't think so.

    52 boxes opened and I only got one DCT recipe and that was on my low level guy. The drop rate on these recipes are a little crazy. (Xbox-NA)

    Exact same scenario for me. Did the quests on 4 chars every day Thurs to Sun and got one DCT recipe. That's *** considering it is required for the achievement, AND it is basically one of only three useful stamina recipes (other two being bi-stat max health/stam and max tri-stat food).

    New stam players will continue to get screwed throughout the year, while a new mag player can buy a witchmothers recipe at any time for 5k. What a joke.

    Two days of quests with my 2 characters and still haven’t been lucky enough to get the DCT recipe. I didn’t realize I would need 10 characters to even have a decent chance at getting the recipe.

    2 days , eight toons finally got one

    Someone was selling 100 Dubious Cameron Thrones in the chat today. He couldn't have possibly gotten all of those legitimately.
    Or maybe he was a scammer and didn't really have them. Or maybe he was an ESO millionaire and bought them all for 100,000 each to resell for higher. :#

    I opened somewhere around 130-ish boxes and only got ONE.

    I got this recipe only once and it was from the very first box I received on new character made just to get it and it was an argonian called "Needs-Dubious-Camoran-Thr". RNG god likes commitment.

    People are buying the recipe in zone chat for 50k-100k on Xbox/NA.

    Ridiculous, I did 6 quests, got 3 dubious recipes. Either do the event or wait for the price to drop guys. I think they raised the chance for the recipe this time, can't be just me that's having such luck.

    Did quests every day on 6-7 chars and got one. I got a lot of the other purple recipe and a lot of the tent though. I traded 1 tent for a dct and I bought one for 22k in zone. So I have 2 spares now.

    So pathetic. My final tally is 0 for 74. That's so many dumb repeatable quests that turned out to be a complete waste of time. What a stupid idea to have a limited time event with BS RNG controlling everything.

    I finally got the recipe, but ZOS really needs to rethink mixing RNG with achievements. They shouldn’t be dependent on RNG at all.

    I agree for the most part but I think the stress needs to be on time gated RNG being inappropriate for achievements. I have yet to get all the random monster trophy drops for the achieve that collects those, nearly four years into (casually) playing the game, and that's cool by me. If I got pressed about it I could go do spurts of farming the specific mobs that can drop the things, at my convenience.

    When you only have a week or two or only have a few days, however, it becomes a stress source unless you can convince your deeper self that you truly don't care if you get the achieve or not. Which for me becomes in effect truly not caring whether I even log in for a week or a month. I'm pretty sure ZoS would appreciate more frequent play, so maybe they shouldn't make it so discouragingly unlikely to complete event achieves unless one no-lifes the game for a bit.
