    1 page out of 15 turns in is just beyond ridiculous.

    If I get one day with no page, I'll just stop bothering with this week. I have more interesting things to do than this waste of a grind.

    No. If you want it, buy tickets from crown store. As intended.

    I think perhaps RNG should be replaced by something like a guaranteed page every 3rd dungeon or a page a day guaranteed with first box.
    Don't give them ideas, then we get an gold box on first activity and purple on later runs like done on many other events.
    That would be an obvious nerf,
    Reality with this 5 part event with dailies is that crafting writs with lots of alts is 5-10 times faster than the fastest of the other dailies, second is probably prologue dailies in slow hours or cyrodil town quest then your faction own the map.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Tinfoil armor is still bis I see.

    Again this week shows few rewards as you can 1) only do 3 on each character and the weekly trials. 2) dungeons and trial takes long time compared to other daily events.
    Add that finder is broken the first day as tradition.

    Have each boss required from pledge drop an box would solve most of the issue and bring it up to standard.
    Last week will se an page shower like 1/4 the prophet page shower as its four times as many page. prophet pages sell for 200 gold something now.

    Oh and it’s a drop rate of ZERO boxes per toon that’s below L45
    ...
    Is this a fact or a feeling? I'd like to know so I don't waste time with my low level characters.

    You have to be at least level 45 to be able to do undaunted dailies. You can't before. So it's a fact.

    Oh my God, stupid me. Thank you. Sure, you're right. Well, it's still early in the morning and I haven't had a coffee. My brain isn't working properly without.

    Drink (coffee) before you think!

    I have decided not to try to get all the style pages for this event. Which is good because my "event boxes per day of playing" will be really low this week. Dungeons and trials take longer than doing writs or doing PVE quests in Cyrodiil.

    Drop rate should definitely be higher this week for people that are bothering to do it. I'm taking a break this week because I'm totally burnt out with this event. I'll wait and see if I get the Sai motifs from the final week, if not I'll just buy them.

    Voting for you guys, since I barely got anything during crafting week and rates have only gotten worse from what I'm reading. Good luck to everyone who wants the pages!

    People are probably giving the Prophet pages away for free still, I know I was. Lyrics on the other hand was a bit more challenging, Abnur was fine so long as one wasn't scared to death to fight another player, but these Sai Sahon pages seem to be obsolete, from both my experiences and reading other posts. This is both good and bad, good if you wanna make some really good gold, bad if you're wanting to get all the pages.

    The drop rate, seems the same to me, in cryodiil I grinded the hell out of Bruma, Cropsford, and Vlastarus dailies and got plenty of style pages. The world bosses were less frequent drops, but only doing limited WB fights and the time they took to share in a group or waiting for spawns added time to the lovely grindfest. The Prophet pages were by far the easiest so long as you knew how to craft on more than one character. But these undaunted/trial quests significantly reduce the drop rate simply because you can't rush through them and some you can only do once a week on that character. Because of that, your odds seem to drop by a lot only because you're getting less boxed now, and it takes three to four times as long to get one box. I do think ZoS should take that into consideration, but so long as you can buy event tickets then....well insert ZoS troll face.

    Yes, in 32 boxes you'd expect to get at least one but got zero. Yesterday was the only day for double chances with doing Wed and turning them in Thursday. At that drop rate there is no way to get all 7 or 8.

    now at 34 36 38 and none ..

    The PVP event was perfect 2-3 hours of Cyro quests and you'd be guaranteed at least 1 piece. I did all three dungeons last night on the only toon it felts worthwhile doing them on, because after the third attempt to actually tank while the dps pulled 8k left us wiping in normal FG2 on second boss, I switched to my vMA sorc who can solo those, I was able to get all three done, and nothing. 2 hours gone. Add to that a broken queuing system where I spent 30 mins hitting the form group button only to be requeued again, I was cursing the existence of ESO, not celebrating its anniversary.

    Now it's possible that with a sample size of 3, the drop rate could have been 50% with a 12.5% probability of me observing zero drops, but .... NO FUN ZOS. I'd rather than 1 guaranteed drop after 2 undaunted quests, or something like that.

    Frankly, the time of this week will be much more efficiently spent by unlocking crafting writs and dailies on additional characters (and possibly even on a mule account if you have one).

    Doing dungeons was never worth the time, reward-wise. The time/reward ratio has always been insanely bad for dungeons. I don't know why anybody expected it to be any different for this event.

    The drop rate is ridiculous. What's more ridiculous is that it seems to be the same for all types of dailies (after 1st week at least), no matter if you can do 40 dailies per character or 3.
    Also. NOT A SINGLE DROP of Worm Cult motif. And even other motifs are very rare.
    A really nice and rewarding event, sure.

    Yeah, they probably should have weighted the drop rates for each week based on how many boxes it's possible for someone to get each day.

    (Writs & Cyro - lots of boxes, lower rate; Delves - few boxes, higher rate; Dungeons - very few boxes, higher rate)


    Of course, we still have to see how Week 5 works out.



    ...if it weren't for the "5 week" thing (5th anniversary + 4 weeks of 4 companion styles/5th week mixed), weeks 3 & 4 could have been done together. PvP things for the PvP'ers to do, PvE things for the PvE'ers to do.

    I think I'll take it easy this week. 3 hours per page isn't worth it, but it doesn't mean we can't all get our full sets.

    Week 5 should balance things out. Any daily can drop any page.

    I probably got 50-60 Prophet pages in Week 1, so I ought to be able to collect 1/4th as many Sai Sahan pages doing the same writs in Week 5.

    I have not done anything for the event yet and don't plan on doing it a lot because I have other things occupying my time, but I did make the suggestion in another thread that drop rates should be normalized to keep relative abundance of award equal based on the number of dailies available and the time it takes to complete them. It sounds like they currently are not, yes?

    It is what it is.

    Considering the group finder is not functioning as expected something could/should be done and I have no idea what.

    I was able to do a couple of dungeons yesterday by being picked in zone. No style pages from those two boxes. LMFAO (not really laughing)

    And I thought dealing with gankers in Cyrodiil was bad, try getting together a pug group for trials OMG, after 45 min for nAS we were still 2 short and had already exchanged 5 members for other ones.

    It's an exercise in frustration! Hello on Mr. I-dont-do-discord, or Mr. I-only have 20 min or Mr. Interrogate-other-members -bout -their -gear or Mr. I-forgot-to-set-correct-role or Mr-level-39.

    I disbanded the group and went to PvP. I am beginning to think ZOS is trying to see how many normal average players they can upset during the event! Jubilee? What?

    Shockingly low drop rate for a tremendous amount of work. Wife and I have handed in 30 dungeons today (so far) and drawn a blank on style pages. We've done this yesterday too, and even had dungeons to hand in ready for yesterday. So opened in excess of 100 boxes (that's a LOT of dungeons) and gotten 4 pages in total...

    Yes it’s got less opportunity for more time used. I have been lucky I have 3 so far I lost track of how many runs I’ve done just that I had preloaded characters and have spent about 4 and a half hours per night for relatively few boxes.The time to run even a normal easy dungeon and swap is longer than other comparative quests.

    I have spare Abnur Tharn as I don’t mind PVP or PVE but the first day of that I ran 80 quests for 1 page. It improved the next day, I was just unlucky that day. In this event there will be people who can only do a total of say 80 quests. and could have that level of bad RNG. There’s a longer period of time spent. Bogrul dailys given they are labeled “undaunted” boxes should have been included if they wanted to keep drop rate.
