How many Gold Coast dailies to get an Order Hour/Minotaur motif page?

About a week ago, I started to do the daily in Gold Coast (Kvatch) again. At first, it was only on one character, so about 4 or 5 different dailies. No motif pages.

Today, I was like....okay, time to really grind this and see what the rate is. I've now done the daily on 10 different characters, sometimes sharing in zone chat to do both Looming and the Arena. Not motif pages.

What is the drop rate for these? I was thinking maybe something abysmal like 10 or 15 percent, but given my sample size (20+) that doesn't seem true.

    Remember - Dailies are not the only source of pages. When in zone - do a loop of all of the Treasure Chests, as well.

    They don't drop from chests, only from the WB dailies and Psijic portals.

    Buying them from other players/guild stores is also an option, of course, and farming the necessary gold is often faster than farming the motifs.

    How many? Somewhere between 1 and 999,999,999,999 or more. Only RNGesus knows for sure. :(

    It's RnG of course, the amount is anywhere from 1 to infinite.
    I remember getting all the motif pages there and the drop rate was not terrible.
    Possibly ZOS lowered drop rate to encourage other dailies in other zones.


    You want that sweet minotaur head right?
    Well that is what us GMCs are for.

    I've got a fair number of both across both accounts just by "being there" for the jubilee. I wouldn't bother with grinding dailies myself.... Once in a while, if I get a master writ for one I don't have, and I can find it fairly inexpensive on a trader, I'll buy it.

    I remember these pages dropping more frequently in the past, and during events, but now the rate is just atrocious. Looking in the Guild Traders, the prices reflect that as well, specifically the Minotaur. I feel like the only time I ever went to Gold Coast was during the Dark Brotherhood/Thieves Guild event, and that is most likely when I first finished the styles. I just started doing the dailies again for fun, after the last Skyrim event ended, in hopes of also getting some style pages to sell out of it, but that hasn't been too fruitful. I'll probably repeat this process one more day on some alts and see how RNG fairs.

    I did about 12 more dailies, maybe more, and got 1 Order Hour motif.

    I've come to the realization that these dailies are only fun when you're getting useful rewards, otherwise it feels more like daily work. Gold Coast is about to be off-limits until the next event I think.

    the Kvatch motifs are really rare, especially since not very many people do them anymore. If people don't want to do them, that's fine; I can just bring a couple friends since I can 3-man both bosses with characters as low as lv.6

    part of the reason these motifs are as expensive as they are even on PCNA is because of how cool they look, but also because of how rare they are. On top of that, the lack of people doing these quests has put further strain on the supply, and the rest is history.
    Shortly after the formation of the Ebonheart Pact, a Nord woman was given a tour of the Tribunal Temple. When later asked about the experience, she seemed upset. Suffice to say, the Dunmer were not pleased to hear this, and thus they inquired further.
    "Well," the Nord frowned, "the priests were very angry and unwelcoming. They kept shouting things at me like "you can't drink that mead in here!" and "somebody stop her, she's running naked!" and "we can't catch her; she's covered in grease!""

    If lucky egnough you can get both full motif by daily#28 but will that happen? Chances are it will take longer
