Increase Collectible Drop Percentages
Most of you probably do not care for achievements so you are thinking 'well its a collectible for a reason' blah blah blah. Hear me out on this because the drop percentages are a little ridiculous. Right now I'm grinding mobs hours and days on end to get one single piece for this achievement (because achievements are what keep me busy in this game and keep me learning new things). Like I said though, it is ridiculously low for people to grind hours on end for a collectible which has a drop chance of 0.1 - 0.8.

If you take a look at that link, I think it is safe to say that you could go through thousands of mobs and waste an entire week just to find one piece if you're lucky. I am pretty sure I am the only current player who actually wants to go after these trophy achievements just because of hunting and being a completion-ist. This is only one of the trophies and there are many like it. I would say the drop chances should not be in the 0.X but should be somewhere near the X.0-10.0 percentile. It is a lot of overlooked content because no normal player actually goes to these farming spots and spends hours here. You need someone who would take the time out of their day to go waste doing this which I personally think that if someone should do this, it should be somewhat more achievable.
Maybe this is a useless rant because I'm tired of running circles in a delve and just complaining but it seems a little too low for people to want to go for unless they're die-hard achievement hunters.

MakeMeUhSamich✭✭✭✭✭I have all of them. It was pretty brutal at times. However, RNG being what it is, some were collected quite quickly.
Edit: Most of my farming was done whilst waiting for a queue to pop.

✭✭✭✭✭Are you kidding me? I completed my last collectibles achievement on my main in January 2016. You have no idea how much time I spent farming the same mob until I got a drop. Right now you look at some mobs funny, you get a collectible. The drop rate seems to have been hugely increased already. Not to mention there used to be serious issues getting some of the collectibles because mobs stopped dropping loot after you outleveled them and you couldn't find any more at the right level to get the drop if you were max leveled.0 -

✭✭✭I cared about this but as I'm playing this game for so long and the drop ratio is STILL awful I just stopped pursuing this achievement.
I've killed thousands of mobs all across Tamriel since Dec 2015, I have perhaps, completed half of that listing...
But I'd like the achievement... Someday..."Sweet Mother, sweet Mother, send your child unto me, for the sins of the unworthy must be baptized in blood and fear"- Sons of the Night Mother | VforVendetta | Grownups Gaming EU | English Elders [PS][EU] 2500 CP
- Daggerfall's Mightiest | Eternal Champions | Legacy | Tamriel Melting Pot [PS][NA] 2300 CP

ArvenAldmeri✭✭✭✭✭Dont even get me started. I am trying to farm wamatsu and gargoyle. Not only there is really few of them, therefore the rate of getting it is slower than for say mudcrabs, they also have more health so cant literally one shot them xD Farmed around 500 wamatsu the other day, still no drop. Its getting quite tireing.Magicka sorcerer from start until the end. Always. Through the good times and the bad, even now when its probably saddest PvE dps it has ever been.
Even as an owner of one radiant apex mounts I am against radiant apex mounts and anything thats not obtainable by direct purchase.0 -

I spent 6 days in a row with 7 hours straight trying to get the shalk collectible out between Senie and the Lava Pools. Finally I got it but I could of spent that amount of time doing something important like vSS or vCR and getting the perfected pieces.0
