Birthday Event and RNG Rewards

Anyone from ZOS could please explain how "rare" the worm motifs will be? by reading ESO's main site, it seems like it will be almost impossible to complete without a heavy grind:

Rarer rewards include hard-to-get motif pages previously only available in Vvardenfell, the Horns of the Reach dungeons, and the Clockwork City. Even rarer, you could receive a motif page for the brand-new Worm Cult style, a look that can only be found in the Anniversary Gift Boxes!

If its rarer than the VVardenfell and HOTR motifs, either those are stupidly easy to get or worm cult is as hard as getting Buoyant armiger pages.

    Based on their site yes it should be harder, but what bugs me is why? All event motifs in the past were so easy to obtain

    Not happy already. I can't afford to spend endless amounts of time sweating this game. Challenging but not ridiculous is fair. I fear its going to reward the 1% with no other commitments than a 9-5 ESO-sweatfest.

    I feel like they never get these things right first time round so it will be an obscenely low drop rate.

    The laughable thing is, worm cult is now so old, the textures on it are awful but you will still find motif pages for 10.000.000 gold and people will buy them.

    Hmm, do I get it right that you'd be able to get dailies and weeklies ONLY IF YOU PREVIOUSLY HAD COMPLETED Mages' Guild main story quest line?
    If so, it sucks...

    - Breton SorcMag dps [She's got an identity crisis, but I believe in her.]
    - Dunmer Templar dps/healer [she's a healer, then again she likes inferno staff too...]
    And..
    - High Elf SorcMag dps [It's quite possible his daddy was a Nord.]

    No, they said that if you have completed the mage line then the book that lists the events you can do will be available via that method. The rest can access via the book itself which would need an inventory slot.

    That's not correct. My stamblade has done none of the story quests for fighters or mages guild but can get the dailies. You do have to join the guild but that's trivial; I'm not sure if there's a level requirement.

    Not happy already. I can't afford to spend endless amounts of time sweating this game. Challenging but not ridiculous is fair. I fear its going to reward the 1% with no other commitments than a 9-5 ESO-sweatfest.

    I feel like they never get these things right first time round so it will be an obscenely low drop rate.

    This, i believe a ~20% drop rate for them would be fair, do around 5 dailies, maybe 8 or 9 if your RNG is bad and get one.

    Doing simple math, we have 14 pages to find, the event lasts for 12 days, if you do the maximum dailies in one character (40) every day, you would need a little more than 2.5% chance to get all in a single toon, while stressing and doing an insane amount of quests and getting no duplicates (unlikely).

    DB X 1
    Fighters guild (I assume has one)
    Wrothgar must have a couple?

    I'm now lost :D

    But yeah, that seems a fair drop rate. Tbh I'd like anything along the lines of Hollowjack drop rate (Although I was spamming nMA. It shouldn't be an ultra rare motif only the sweatiest of us are 'allowed' to have.

    My guess is that it's so they can frustrate people into buying them in the crown store.

    @Stewart1874 Don't forget the World Boss dailies are sharable. So for Vvardenfell:

    6 World bosses
    Vivec daily
    Ashlander daily x2

    And Wrothgar:
    6 World Bosses
    Trinimac delve daily

    Gold Coast has two world bosses. Clockwork City has two as well.

    Now, where you're going to find the time to fight all these bosses to get the associated loot may be another problem...

    I'm glad you only have Worm Cult left to get, but some of us are not that lucky.

    But in all seriousness, it's a game, not a job. Do as many dailies as you feel like, but don't stress about it. It's what the sane players are doing.

    Im quite positive you misinterpreted what i've written, I said we have 14 pages to get as its the only exclusive motif in the event, the other you can farm in any time span you feel better. Worm cult, however, is bound to those 12 days, hence why it becomes a chore.

    It's exclusive for now. It's been in the game files for a long time. I'm sure it will show up somewhere.

    Not correct. They are giving a list of available daily quets. If you have completed the mages guild you can commit that list to memory and access it from your journal. If you have nit completed the Mage guild quest then you will need to keep the list in your inventory.
