Welcome to ESO in 2020 - where players must pay to win event rewards instead of just playing the game to earn them!
Paid zero for the fragments. Completed both this morning. Spent event tickets on the berries. Have a base Indirik ready to evolve and enough feathers for another base one. I had to spend the event tickets I earned on fragments because I was going to lose tickets and with 2 days of tickets left I am still going to end up losing tickets with nothing to spend them on.
Everything was entirely doable with even the slightest amount of effort. I farmed extra boxes while doing the Rescuer achievement. Completed the fragments and that achievement at the same time.

Good rng =/= effort. I'm glad that you're lucky, but half of my boxes didnt drop any parts, and some of them were borderline insulting (25 worms and 250 gold item).
Time spent in the zone increases your chance to gain boxes. Killing and looting nodes as you go does too. Too many players during this event are just running past everything and then complaining that rng isn't treating them well. Again, I did this in the time it took to do the Rescuer challenge. A current achievement that requires running around Murkmire. The whole intent of the event is to spend time in the zone. Doing enough to get the first box and moving on isn't gonna cut it.
Again, you were lucky with your boxes.
For me, a lot of them looked like this
I did get one with double fragments, but half of them didn't drop anything.

With a little bit of effort? As if all it takes is work to obtain all the things needed to max out your spending of tickets? I don't know why you are claiming things that cannot be true, but you are. It's RNG, it has very little to do with effort. It's not as if your chances are 1 out of 100 and you do something 100 times and you get a part, RNG means you have a 1 out of 100 chance each time, so you could do something a million times and it never drops.
You claimed to have had enough tickets to spend event tickets on berries, enough feathers for another base Indrik, spent tickets on fragments and have 12 tickets so the next two days you are wasting tickets.
I'm calling you out, no way, not possible to purchase all you have claimed, let me explain why.
35 tickets for the momento total
35 tickets for the pet total
40 tickets for all feathers for a base indrik total.
40 tickets for berries to evolve a base indrik total.
All added up, that equals 150 tickets total.
You can only earn a total of 39 tickets during this event.
150 - 39 = 111 ticket deficit, you are 111 tickets short of what you claim
Oh yeah, and I forgot, you said you have max tickets and will wast the last two days so that means you have 12 extra tickets extra
111 + 12 = 123 ticket deficit. To purchase and accomplish everything you have claimed, you would have had to make an extra 123 tickets that nobody else has access to this event.
When you claim something that cannot possibly be true, on a thread intended to express how the community feels about this event, you harm all of us. You are not being honest, and for what reason I cannot even imagine. It serves no purpose at all to claim things that cannot possibly be true, so why?

You forget that their have been other events prior to this one and that berries and feathers have been available in them. Using tickets smartly in prior events allows you to obtain things in future events. You don't need to earn 150 tickets in this event to so that and I never said I did. Just said that I have everything possible from the vendor without spending real money ever for tickets. That includes all evolutions of the indrik and style pages from events.
Everything was entirely doable with even the slightest amount of effort.
Tell me about it, I don’t want the snot pet and I’d love to give it away to one of my 3 guilds. Has anyone ever got any duplicates?

That's what I would like to know as well. Some people here have claimed that you basically can't get duplicate fragments and my own experience has been like that, too. I didn't really have any time to actually play during the event, so what I did was, I parked a toon in Murkmire right next to a WB, logged in daily for 5 minutes to kill that WB and that was it. Got my tickets every time no problem and the guaranteed strongbox, of course, but no extras. Not quite sure when the event started, so I don't know exactly how many strongboxes I had in total, but out of those I got 5 pet fragments and 3 memento fragments. Some boxes were pretty much BS and had something akin to the 20 worms and a treasure item someone mentioned, but I did get the fragments pretty regularly - and not one was double. So I'm wondering, if someone here has actually got duplicates? Is that something that can happen?
However, even though I seem to have had pretty good luck so far, I don't think it's fair to discount the people who didn't. RNG in general is okay, so long as the drop rates are reasonable in relation to the duration of the event. By what I read here that doesn't seem to be the case, though, and I think the system that someone mentioned, where you have the fragments in your inventory and only transfer them to the collections menu by activating them, but can trade them, if you don't, would be the best overall approach for future events. The inability to trade (or sell) these fragments seems to be the biggest problem because it forces you to grind them out all by yourself - which kind of defeats the purpose of an MMO. Make them sellable, and even people who couldn't really participate in the event will be able to get them, if they're willing to pay for them, which, all in all, seems to be much fairer to me.

You do realize that you don't need to purchase tickets for all that stuff right? You can get the mementos from strong boxes so it doesnt cost anywhere close to the amount of tickets you're talking about.

There are no duplicates. When RNG puts a fragment in a Strongbox, it just chooses the next one in your list that you don’t have.
I have both the pet & memento; purchased Spectral Berry; purchased Indrik Feather for a 2nd Nascent; and will have 10 tickets at the end of the event to buy the final Spectral Berry as soon as the next event starts... and never spent a dime of IRL currency or purchased anything from the Crown Store.
Seems pretty good to me.
S.
That's how a lot of people feel, myself included. Yes, it's possible to get all the pieces for both Collectibles just from boxes and buying them with tickets, but it's so unlikely that while it's possible, it's closer to impossible. Especially more so when even getting your tickets and initial Strongbox for the day is also tied to RNG, not just whether you get any fragments in any given box. And if you need to get any number of Berries or Feathers you're basically sol since most of us aren't going to be the lucky few to get numerous pieces in a box or get numerous boxes in a day that each have a fragment.Unless I get a fragment tomorrow, I can’t complete both event collectibles. This is with me beginning the event with enough tickets to get one fragment... and not even glancing sideways at the indrik feathers or berries. [snip]

35 tickets for the momento total Minus any pieces that dropped for you, in my case, 6 pieces, so I only spent 5 tickets on that
35 tickets for the pet total Again, minus any pieces that dropped. I don't remember how many, but I think I bought 4 pieces, so I spent 20 tickets on that
40 tickets for all feathers for a base indrik total. I came in to the event with a full nascent indrik and 4 feathers, so 0 tickets for this (it's no longer possible to buy more feathers in advance) - 0 tickets
40 tickets for berries to evolve a base indrik total. There are only 3 berries available so far. I came into the event with 2 berries and 8 leftover tickets, so 2 tickets for this
All added up, that equals 150 tickets total. In my case, that adds up to 27
You can only earn a total of 39 tickets during this event.
150 - 39 = 111 ticket deficit, you are 111 tickets short of what you claim In my case 27-39 = 12 leftover tickets for the next event
Oh yeah, and I forgot, you said you have max tickets and will wast the last two days so that means you have 12 extra tickets extra

Please keep in mind that there are new or newer players who may not have had ANY Feathers or Berries coming into this event, and that it's not just people who already have those fragments playing the game.Please check your math against the fact that events have been going on for a year and a half by now. People have bought feathers and berries before the event started.
I suspect the boxes without fragments are duplicates, which they can’t give you because of the fragments system. That would be why it got so much harder the more fragments I got.
