There's nothing like waiting twenty minutes for people to gather at Graveld, only to be rewarded with a bottle of slime.
I'll probably pass the next two weeks (getting boxes from pvp, let alone from pledges, will be even less time-efficient than getting them from boss dailies) and concentrate on the final week instead.
Hopefully, this themed week nonsense won't be coming back next year. It basically makes three of five weeks entirely useless.
I disagree. I've never done 80 crafting dailies but I got plenty of Prophet's pages. This week the decline is quite tangible and I've done quite alot of dailies on much more characters.PC/DC/NAserver

xan4silkb14_ESO✭✭✭✭I've gotten 7 pages total so far with around 70 total boxes. Only problem I had was 4 of them were feet. At least I was able to trade them all for one of the others that I didn't get so far. I'm not part of a trading guild so I didn't feel like gouging people for something that they might just get in week 5 anyway when all of the styles will be available and many people go back to getting 80+ boxes a day .

I've done daily WB and delve quests on every eligible character every day since Thursday. I've received 3 style pages, 1 of which was a repeat. I was really hoping they'd hotfix this because it's a very noticeable difference that hurts. It takes a lot more time to do these dailies than it does to do a crafting writ, yet the drop rate is so awful (not just on the style pages, but on all other motifs, too) that I'm left feeling like I just wasted all my time investments in playing.
I realize there will be a chance to get these pages again on week 5, but what are the odds the drop rate stays the same and Prophet's pages remain the most prolific? It will probably be even harder to get specific pages at that time because the boxes' rewards will be completely random. I can't math but I'm assuming that if we have a 0.8% chance (exaggerated guess) to get any Lyris page now and out of that, there's a 1/8 chance to get a specific page, the odds would have to be atrocious when there are 2 more outfit styles mixed in. I thought this week was going to be easier than the PvP week. If the drop rate remains this low for the PvP week, in which I'll have to do Cyro dailies, I'm going to lose the few brain cells I have left.
I thought the anniversary event was supposed to be fun. I thought it was supposed to encourage us to get together and enjoy our common love for The Elder Scrolls Online. This is having the opposite effect on me. I really want to enjoy playing but not only is this turning it into a job for me, but a job that I loathe and that pays below minimum wage. The quests seem to take between 5-30 minutes each, depending on which I'm unlucky enough to receive, after which I get a stack of 5 leather and 20 ore or some other random, virtually worthless assortment of crafting mats.
@ZOS_GinaBruno ? Anyone?
Please fix this. Just tweak the drop rate and give a girl a little hope. The world sucks enough without my game leaving me more depressed.

Reivax✭✭✭✭I have received 6 Lyra pieces so far, just doing the delve/WB quests on single character.
4 of the 6 have been Battle Axe, because Lyris really wants me to give up my dual daggers and start using a big 2-handed axe, I guess!
I had no problem trading the duplicates with other people.
I don't worry too much, they can always be bought in a guild store with gold, later.Edited by Reivax on April 15, 2019 4:11PM0 -
SewerFairy✭✭✭I do all the delve/WB quests everyday on one char together with a friend.
She gets every day 2-4 pieces of the style and I didn't get even one till now xD
Bad luck at rng, but lucky to have my friend who gives all the pages to me, she allready knows
That's what keeps me doing the quests every day.
But honestly zos needs something to do about the rng. It feels very disappointing, to get NOTHING even if you're doing the same stuff and spending the same amount of time as other who are more lucky.

Lucky drops still happened from my 50 daily writs but they were much rare then in first days and a lot of people noticed that. Obviously ZOS noticed what happened to market and reduced chance of good drops. Thus 2nd-4th week of dailies are pointless.. because to do same WB / delves each day for hours is boring AF, and we all know what will happen to dungeons and to cyro and to bg during event days.
Uhm... 50 daily writs! How do you find time to even play the game!
I do my writs on all 13 of my toons as well. Takes a bit over an hour like 1.20 hrs due to long load screens.

✭With the PC-EU server in such a state and the login queue being broken and the low drop rate of the Lyris pieces,
I went and paid 250k for them from a trader.
At least the awful situation won't annoy me as much now.
ZOS, if you are listening, you owe me 250k gold, and yes, crowns will do.0 -

✭✭No Lyris pages for me yet. I manage to get 10 boxes a day tops. With prophet I did about 35 a day and got a few spare pages which I shared with my guild via guildbank. As for Lyris it's hard to even buy the pages."I bear the cruel weight of certainty. Total, absolute, relentless certainty.

AndyMac✭✭✭✭✭I've done maybe 40 WB's on two toons. I have three Lyris pages - two are duplicates.
I don't really want the Lyris outfit so I think I may pass on the next few days. I've used this week as an excuse to get WB's on two toons which haven't done them.
Seems like the groups for WB's are getting smaller the last few days - maybe event fatigue is starting to creep in.
I did get another Huntsman motif - which I still need for my crafter - so I very happy about that as these page are still not cheap.

Not because they are rarer, but because they are more desired. I bet they are all exactly the same drop rate.1 -

✭Well, I could not tell you about drop rates as I have opened 70 boxes this week on the NA server and have yet to receive any Lyris pages.
I've opened 15 boxes on the EU server and received a total of 0 Lyris pages.
The stuff in these boxes also seems to be poor quality as the best I've seen on either server was a rosin. Lots of bait though. Lots of bait.3 -

I think out of all of the many, many boxes I've opened, maybe one material was better than white. WHITE. Last night was the first time I received any epic motifs from the Lyris boxes.
I need to figure out how to keep track of this because I've been spending around 6 hours a day grinding this horribly un-fun "extravaganza event" and finally, with the help of kind and generous guild members from two guilds, was able to complete my set.
Make sure you're checking in with your guilds, reading chat regularly, and reminding your guildies that you haven't completed it yet. Many people in ESO are awesome (even when the devs screw up -or maybe especially then- by reducing drop rates) and are willing to share the wealth with friends and guildies. I would not have been able to spend 250,000 gold to complete the set, as someone else above did. And even getting 2 tickets every day, logging in and faithfully eating that cake, I don't think I would have had enough to spare on finishing all the motifs and getting all the berries.
The prophet style was easy to complete, but that still leaves 2 'unknown' styles* and Lyris. Lyris has been difficult to come by, so assuming you are lucky enough to get 3 pieces, that still leaves 5 you would have to buy, and if you were relying on "free" currency, like tickets, that's 25 tickets, equivalent to 1 berry, 1 ticket, and 1 half of the matching companion pet they will surely release in week 4 or 5. 25 tickets - IF you're lucky - for ONE of the styles. They boasted that you would have the opportunity to get as many as 72 tickets if you participated every day. 72/25=2.88, so using tickets to buy motifs for 3 style sets is impossible.
Many people aren't fortunate enough to invest as much time as I have in this, so even though I've begun dreading logging into the game, I still count myself halfheartedly lucky.
Last week, ESO made a fun event. We were all able to log in and profit (and Prophet) by doing easy dailies that were accessible to all. (Sure, the Prophet style pages were a little too prolific. That could have been tweaked slightly if necessary.) This week, they gave us an event that is largely locked behind a paywall that not everyone can surmount (there is only ONE daily that is not DLC, the Undaunted's delve quest from Bolgrul), heavily nerfed the drop rates on the style pages, heavily reduced the quantity and quality of crafting materials that come from boxes, and didn't take into account how much more time and effort is required to get each box. They really really screwed this up. Please don't make the remainder of this event a nightmare, too, @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_KaiSchober @ZOS_BillE @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_GaryA and @ZOS in general. PLEASE.

I can't find verification of this, but I've been informed by other players that the styles will still be locked to their original origin sources, even on week 5. This means that we'll still have to do WB/delve dailies to get Lyris pages, we'll just have to do them in addition to doing PvP and dungeon dailies.
