    12 characters doing dailies only got 1. lol. got some other motifs though. Not bad, but yeah, I was really hoping to get more Worm Cult, since this is the only time we can get this motif, the other motifs you can farm at your disposal anytime.

    one Worm Cult page so far (gloves) - doing writs on 10 toons daily, plus an extra round on the first day. So yes, they drop but are super rare - diluted by all the other motif pages.

    I was also hoping to finish mine this year but from 80 boxes I've gotten zero.

    I'm just hoping enough people get them that the prices will drop so I can finish it at event's end.

    The drop rate on this is way too low honestly. I have only got one page so far, only got one last year.

    Opened over 300 boxes and got like 3 pages

    With such a vast pool of motifs, the chances of getting any specific motif is rare

    It was the same last year. Sell all the other crap that drops and just buy them.

    In this case, it's a little different.

    Worm Cult occupies a separate drop table from the other motifs. So, you could potentially get a page from a long list of motifs. But, you also roll the dice for a Worm Cult page or Desecrated Grave Ash. With the Ash being far more likely to drop. This means it's also possible for Worm Cult to drop along side another motif page (though I haven't seen this, this year, but I've been letting Lazy Writ Crafter auto loot for me.)

    The end result is, no, Worm Cult is simply extremely rare.

    0 from about 80 boxes. Also other motifs are rare too, got about 6 of them from these boxes.

    Can confirm. I got this today:

    I've done close to 700 boxes so far. Have gotten 8 or 9 worm cult pages. Haven't been keeping full track this year since I have them all from last year. Seems in line with the 1.5% drop rate I experienced in last years event. We are also 4 days into a 35 day event... there are lots more days to come.

    In fairness, the availability of boxes is about to take a nose dive, next week. Last I checked, we don't get some kind of normal anniversary boxes for doing other things.

    You can actually get more boxes next week, but the time requirement will be significantly higher, as it's really quick to do 7 daily crafting writs on a character. There are more than 7 "daily" delve and WB quests in the game you can do.

    Yeah, that's true. However, for those of us who are executing large numbers of writs (I'm clearing 154 a day, for example), it will drop sharply, for that exact reason. The time commitment will go up, and stay there.

    Also, moving into the dungeon week, that will be, functionally, hard capped at 3 boxes per character, but the time to collect those boxes will be closer to 30 minutes a box. Meaning that doing those on all characters (without anything going wrong) would potentially get into the range of 33 hours per day to keep up. Which... isn't ideal. (I do realize that 30m per box is a bit high, and it should be possible to knock those out in slightly under an hour, but that still means dedicating most of a day to the activity.

    Yeah, I hear you there. There will certainly be a drop-off in total boxes collected. I'm doing 195 a day right now with crafting (15x7 + 15x6, no JC on alt account). Hopefully the drop rate on the styles from these next 2 weeks will be sufficient to get them all. Or, hopefully the dailies in week 5 drop all of them, rather than their specific type. Like these boxes say they are an "Anniversary Box (crafting)" when we get them. Hopefully week 5 boxes are "Anniversary Box (all)" and can drop any style piece, rather than the crafting dailies giving us an "Anniversary Box (crafting)" that will only drop Prophet styles again, meaning we'd have to continue to do WB/Delve/Dungeon dailies to finish our Lyris and Sai Sahan style pages, even in week 5.
