Opened about 50 coffers on both servers, not a single golden page

yea its frustrating here's an awesome to brighten your day ty for your reply

I've gotten nearly all of the pages on PC NA, and about half of the pages on PC EU. At least some of them dropped from the purple coffers, but about half were from the golden coffers. I've gotten duplicates and was able to trade them in zone chat, and I bought a page that someone was selling in zone chat. At this rate, I expect to have all of the pages by event's end.

But I'm actually more interested in craftable motif pages, of which I've gotten more than a few. I'm not even farming delves and bosses and geysers the way a lot of players are; I'm just doing one job of each daily, although on PC EU I'm not doing the geyser dailies because I'm not able to pick them up yet. All I'm doing-- aside from my own dailies-- is farming mats on the way from here to there, and grinding the two public dungeons, Karnwasten on PC EU to try to get the ginger kitten pet, and Sunhold on PC NA to try to get the Psijic Whatever It Is.

By the way, have the geysers gotten easier, or have I just gotten better? It's been a year or two since I last tried to solo one, at which time I had my little tushie handed to me, yet now I'm able to solo them quite easily. I guess maybe I've changed up my gear sets since then, but still...

I've gotten two the first two days each from a gold coffer. None since. I suspect this is like the Skaal set where I didn't get every page despite doing the event every day. Really wish they had added every previous option from past events like they do the feathers so those of us who concentrated on berries could spend the tickets on what we missed. So now it looks like if I skip the berries I'll get the pages but have left overs to devote to berries for something I can't complete without all the berries and feathers. Not sure where the harm is making each gold coffer guarantee to drop a page instead of have all coffers with a low drop chance. Or not putting in enough other things to spend them on.

Or raise the cap of tickets so if you're torn on what decision to make you can wait till the end to make it. I had 12 tickets (had some overflow from last event that lost me at least one) when this started and foolishly bought a berry (I was skipping this indrik till I had to decide that day) because why wouldn't I expect them to learn from the Skaal pages but that was my bad.

I got one in my gold box on the first day and ran it every day since and got nothing...

I have to side-eye people who talk about Farming bc they may be running every Daily on several characters so their casual suggestion should be taken with a grain of salt bc I'm just not gonna do that and shouldn't have to. I enjoy these events but the redundant repetitive grinding becomes so mundane, I get burnt out after every event attempting to collect all the new prizes and it's becoming increasingly more difficult without spending money which I also refuse to do in addition to buying the games and chapters and monthly membership. You can't have ALL my time and all my monies!

On PC NA, I've already gotten 6 of the 8 pages, so with a week still left for the event I'm expecting to get all of them-- although RNG is impossible to predict. I did buy 1 of those 6 pages in zone chat, and I think I got at least 1 duplicate page that I traded with someone for a page I didn't have yet, but IIRC only 2 or 3 of the 5 pages I got from coffers were from the daily gold coffer; the rest came from purple coffers, other than the 1 page that I bought.

On PC EU, I've gotten 4 of the 8 pages, so I still hope to get the rest by the time the event ends next week. I didn't buy any, but I did trade 1 that was a duplicate, and I have 1 that I got last night which is also a duplicate, so once I trade it I should have 5 of the 8 pages. Again, about half of the pages I've gotten were from purple coffers.

When I suggested farming mat nodes, I wasn't talking about running around for hours farming mats; I'm talking about running over and harvesting nodes that you see while you're riding to or from a wayshrine on your way to or from a delve, world boss, or geyser. By the way, one thing I did notice while watching ESO streamers on Twitch this past weekend is that most of them would finish up a delve, world boss, or geyser and then pay the gold fee to directly port to whichever wayshrine was closest to the next delve, world boss, or geyser that they wanted to do. If you're doing that, you're missing out on the opportunity to grab a few nodes-- and potentially a few purple coffers-- on the way back to the wayshrine. As long as you aren't deliberately riding past nodes on your way from a wayshrine to a job destination because you're in a big hurry and can't be bothered to stop for a few seconds, and aren't porting directly to another wayshrine for the gold fee instead of riding back to the one you came in at, you can easily rack up those purple coffers without having to spend a lot of time doing it.

As for grinding the public dungeons, I've been doing that for the fragments I'm hoping to get, not for purple coffers; any purple coffers I get are just icing on the cake. Also, I'm doing only 1 public dungeon per server-- Karnwasten on PC EU, and Sunhold on PC NA-- and aside from looping through Karnwasten twice in a row the other morning, I'm just making single-loop runs, and I skipped the public dungeons a couple of days this past week. So believe me, when I say "grinding," I'm definitely not talking about grinding the same content for hours on end, because I hate that, too. In my book, running through a public dungeon 3 or 4 times in the same week is "grinding," even if that's nothing compared to the "grinding" that some players do.
