Were some drop rates for Writs reduced during the event?

    Mine seemed to be better than normal so it may just be rng.

    Yeah just RNG. I have gotten more writs than normal. You are just hitting a bad run of RNG.

    Mine are also rip.

    I also have way worse drop rates for anniversary rewards comparing to yesterday. Got literally 0 Worm Cult and 0 Buoyant out of 70+ boxes so far.

    there is no damn way they didn't adjust the rate from yesterday.
    tonight i opened about 50 boxes and at least 47 of them were nothing but *** crafting materials.

    i had one with 5 sanded wood and 5 white plants.

    give me a *** break

    Mine are better than normal and can't complain about the boxes either, from the 12 I opened last night I got 4 motifs including a worm

    I thought they may have adjusted the rates from yesterday but... if they did, it was NOT during the maintenance, because I did crafting dailies right after reset, before the servers were shut down and my droprates were 90% mats. now. I don't mind mats, they are useful and I have crafting bag, but compared to yesterday, drops were really bad and its not just me either, all day in guild chats I saw people wondering of rates were adjusted. so... :/ maybe it was programmed that way? to taper of by day 2 or something? or after certain number of dailies was completed? i don't know, but.. it does kinda put a damper on my enjoyment of the boxes. I'm still going to keep doing what I already planned because it has purpose outside of just boxes (stupid undaunted skill line... ), but... yeah

    P.S. my master writ drop rates have been awful since last anniversary event so i haven't noticed any changes there)

    P.P.S. after completely a few more quests just now, the change I'm noticing is that i'm getting a lot more... transmute crystals? pre-patch I would occasionally get 1 as an extra per occasional anniversary box. now I'm getting 5-10 O_O

    Yesterday I got a looot of motifs after opening around 30 boxes, today almost none in the same amount of boxes.

    I'm sure ZOS uses some algorythm that one day affects some players, next day other players, and so. I'm 100% sure that DAILY rng is partially managed by ZOS.

    It's like when one day I get like 7 or 8 Tempering Alloys out of 1000 ore and the next day I get 1 or 0 out of 1000 ore too. That's no rng nor coincidence, that's ZOS intentional algorythm.

    Master writ drops for me pretty normal.

    Motifs in the anniversary boxes for me pretty crap.

    I believe I got a master writ from my main today, was not something I would aim to do so stored it in my storage container till I figure something to do with it.

    Not me, I am going to run out of room soon if I don't start doing some surveys. I am getting just as many Master Writs as I always do and the Tempers are on the thin side but that always ebbs and flows
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    216 crafting writs, 1 master writ. Have been getting lots of transmute crystals. 115 crystals. Getting gold mats at a decent rate, 10 tempers, 9 rosin, 6 wax and four kuta.

    RNG is a myth. Perhaps you should pray to Zenithar before turning in crafting writs.
