Same here. Only 1 in 3 weeks....

Yeah, this drop rate needs to be radically increased. Not just increased. Radically increased.

Going off of pure anecdotal evidence, Anequina has a 1 in 12 drop rate, which puts it at pretty much the same drop rate as other motifs that drop from WB and similar dailies. If you put in the effort and manage to get the quests, you can get 12 of the boxes in a single day per character, and the boxes don't take all that long to acquire.

Contrast this with Pellitine. The drop rate on these, again going off only my own anecdotal evidence, also seems to be the typical 1 in 12. However, each box takes significantly more time to acquire than a typical Anequina box. Plus, you can only get 1 box per day per character.

This means that you can get about a motif per day if you put in the work for Anequina, but each Pellitine box represents nearly two weeks of Dragon Hunts (assuming RNG isn't cruel to you). I've been running these dailies on one character since the day they came out, and I started on a second character a couple of weeks later. I have three pages so far, and I'm very, very, very, very over dragon hunts.

This is, in my very firm opinion, simply bad design. I would expect good designers to feel compelled to fix it.

In the last two days have received two one each day and have only been doing this on one toon. The drop rate is low but not terribly so.

Got a page today. They still drop just not very often.

I've gotten 3, 2 of which are dupes.
Been doing those dailies almost every day since the quest was available.

Really stupidly low drop rate. Worse than BA. Don't expect them to change it. They want you to give up and buy it with crowns instead. I'm rather sick of most motifs being locked behind super hard content and/or rediculous grinds.

I'm pretty sure ZoS is throttling or limiting the drops. It's not pure RNG.

My only evidence (and this holds for the Murkmire motifs too), is that I get a higher drop rate on weekdays than I do on weekends.

I think ZOS reduces the drop chance based on number of drops or box openings that have already happened for the day (or week).

Try only opening you boxes early in the week, early in the day, and see if your drop rates increase.

Haven't seen one in over 2 weeks.
RNG was terrible before. Been doing the daily almost every day since start on one character some times on two.

I have 3 pages, 2 helmets and one of another. It's bad.....
Guess if I don't do it on the day lm slated to get one then I'm just screwed until I happen to do on a day I'm slated to win the lotto.

I think they reduced the drop rate even futher to push crown store sales of them.

What seems to work better (I know completely subjective) is to save up 5 boxes on a character and then open them.

The amount of boxes you are carrying doesn't influence the drop ratio... When I open boxes I only carry 3 boxes (delve, WB n dragons daily), I got 6 pages and 2 spares.

If you want to increase your odds, you must run daily quests with more chars.

It’s also like that for the Anequina Motif. It seems to be about a 30% decrease in drop rate from past Motif drops gained from dailies, or at the very least has been in my case. It doesn’t motivate me to give up and buy the Motif in the Crown Store for a ridiculous price so not I’m sure what the angle is here.

I do know that it caused me to just give up pursuing them since even staring at a blank wall is more fun than running the same dailies ad nauseum for what will probably be about a year to get every chapter at this rate. I’ll just buy them from a guild trader at some point, maybe.

the drop rate is a bad joke. Ran it 6 times a day for a week and got 3 motifs. Gave up and took a break. came back and they seemed to have tweaked it up or i got lucky getting 3 a week of doing 1 a day. Then just bought the last two.

it's a crappy looking motif too, don't waste cash on it.

I have experienced things like that too. Often if I give up on a daily and come back after several months I will get lucky in the beginning.

This sounds hard to code so not likely.
Don't assume malice if incompetence is more likely.

Note that clearing the first trash in Wayrest 1 require some level of competence, not much but

Yeah I am definitely seeing a pattern where drop rates fall when items are farmed more.
