Were Ebony Motifs in the Jubilee Boxes?

Thread title. I opened quite a few boxes (~1700) and didn't get any Ebony motifs, so I was just wondering if they were not in the loot table for the event. Did anyone get any?

    Ebony is not a rare, random drop. You can pick up the book at any time on the writvoucher merchant.

    I'll admit the Halloween and Christmas Events dropped Motifs in excess but the RNG rate this time around was extremely BAD!!!

    Was anyone actually able to finish the Worm Cult Motifs without the Gold Set or buying/trading!?!
    I'm just going to assume you played every waking hour to open so many boxes...

    This list is accurate to the best of my knowledge.

    Somewhat obviously, there was also no Skinchanger, Hollowjack, Frostcaster or Grim Harlequin in the crates. But, I don't think anyone expected those would be in the boxes.

    I started the event having never learned a single motif outside the free blue ones and ended the event with 90-95% of all motifs minus skinchanger and ebony.

    I also spent 2-3mil but have at least that much in worm cult and armiger dupes in the bank.

    Okay, thanks everyone. I knew Millitant Ordinator, the holiday motifs, and crown-store only motifs weren't in the boxes, but I couldn't find any info about Ebony. This seems to confirm it.

    Yes, I'm aware of that. I was only asking if it was in the Jubilee box loot table, since Glass (also a writ motif) was. ;)

    I got a few of each of those, 2 or 3 Ra Gada, 2 Ebony and 1 Militant Ordinator. And a lot of other motifs, some motif were a lot rarer then others. I had 4 to 6 characters doing crafting and running quests for Jubilee boxes, so I went through a lot of garbage in the boxes to get some good stuff.

    I had 15 characters doing 6 writs a day, not one Ebony, MO, or Ra gada oddly

    Can also confirm. I saw all of these motifs listed in the quote. Did not see Ebony/Militant Ordinator as Nemesis said. I was flooded in enough Master Writs to buy the Ebony Motif book from the Hlaalu merchant however.

    Well worth it. Ebony Helm / Chest is

    I didn't get any Ebony, Ra Gada or MO. I didn't see any listed in stores either, not at the rates that would suggest they were dropping from boxes. In fact, there was a notable lack of Ra Gada. PVP'ers of course were still selling MO and most the Ebony I saw were the full motif book.

    i understand why Ebony and MO weren't in the boxes, but why not Ra Gada? I wonder if that was a oversight or a bug. I'm fairly certain it was in the boxes last year, although I could be mis-remembering.

    MO and Ra Gada were in the drops. I got one motif of each. They're in my bank. I can't remember what pieces they were, but they weren't daggers or staff. I would have used them instantly if they were.

    No Ebony. Just Ebonheart. My heart did skip a beat when I saw "Ebon...", only to see it was the staff for Ebonheart. I'll take it. Not my faction, but a cool staff nonetheless.

    Not sure what I'll do with all the motifs I've earned, but they're taking up my bank space. I've sold duplicates for 5k, so those turned over pretty quick.

    Yes, yes, I know, but I couldn't care less about store prices and gold. I've enough in my bank I'm comfortable and players definitely want a bargain sometimes.

    So I purposely undercut store prices. >:)

    Ah, the joys of RNG. Did 50-60 boxes every day, only got 13 WC total including 5 dupes. :)


    No Ra Gada, but the range of pages I got was as low as 1 (Assassin, Order of the Hour), as high as 14 (Akaviri)

    lots and lots and lots of crafting on lots and lots of alts (with lazy writ crafter on pc with pre-crafted food/potions, it doesn't take as long as you'd think - specifically, it took me about 5 minutes per character per full set of writs. I did certify my characters before event started)

    if not for that extra week, i wouldn't have been able to complete wormcult as i didn't get the last few pieces until that last week. i DID trade for them in guild, because even with extension I was worried that i wouldn't be able to get all the chapters I still needed from boxes alone. ended up getting them anyways, but better safe then sorry. and yeah.. if not for that extra week, I wouldn't have.

    rng was... not awesome for wormcult. at least for me

    oh and.. didn't see militant ordinator or ebony either. curiously, also did not see ebony style mats. they definitely were a part of loot table last year, but... I got NONE this year and as per above, i did a LOT of crafting dailies.

    Then it must've been incredibly rare, since I opened around 3400 boxes total across two servers and multiple accounts. Not a single page of Ra Gada or Ordinator.
