    Elemental succession inferno.
    I have around 60 perfected VMA weapons, including a few gold VMA inferno from leaderboard rewards, but not a single elemental succession inferno...
    No improvement on Cyrodill servers -> no ESO plus renewal.

    I used to want bone pirate bow years ago. Endless grind of that worst dungeon of all times. To this day aint seen it. I don't want it anymore, but i think they left it out of the game in my copy.

    Coming back to ESO and discovering that MA weapons were not upgraded, flashbacks to my first runs and drear of fighting RNG again (even if nowadays it will be easier with the transmute...those memories...)

    I gave up on the BSW Inferno staff after about 60 runs. I've also given up on Combat Physician and Ice Furnace lightning staffs after similar (unsuccessful) grinds.

    Despite that, the most baffling has been the grind for any Overwhelming Surge staffs at all. I think I've deconstructed about 20 Overwhelming Surge rings and I've never seen a single staff drop of any type.

    For me, it was collecting my Grave Guardian tanking weapons and jewelry from Unhallowed Grave. I must've spent weeks chasing that lightning staff.

    I spent over 70 runs in Unhallowed Grave trying to get a Dragurkin Lightning staff. A group member got one on like run 30, but was CP 120, so it was useless at the time (LONG before stickerbook).

    BSW inferno staff. And BSW was nerfed in next patch.
    So no more grind in ESO for me.

    Auroran Thunder set. I've done this dung over 150 times and collected all my loot info into excel spreadsheet to check how the rng works there what parts have lowest drop rates, which traits and so on and so on. After 150 runs I haven't dropped A SINGLE DESTRO staff from this set, after about 2-3 weeks I gave up and never went back to this dung.
    Say no to Toxic Casuals!
    I am doing my best, but I am not a native speaker, sorry.


    "Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 24 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game." - @AlexanderDeLarge

    Spell Power Cure took FOREVER. I needed the jewelry, so I ran it on vet a lot. Also farmed IC for key fragments to unlock the vault, desperately seeking the SPC frost staff. I never found the frost staff, not sure it actually exists, so my healer runs with two healing staff's instead.

    It does

    Good to know. I'll probably find it on a random normal months from now.
    Blessed are those who explore the unbeaten path...

    Years ago when I was searching for the Shroud of the Lich set, back then it only dropped from Dolmens in specific zones, getting that Lich to appear was a pain.

    Tzogvin set! All of it, it took a half of a year to get all the pieces I needed. Haven't even seen the bow though.

    First Maelstrom Inferno, 68 vet runs and took me about an hour per run at the start.
    Down to like 40mins by the end

    Caluurion Inferno, over 100 runs

    Forgotten Crypts. Only one MS lightning staff and lot of MS one-handed axes in 4 hours (I was looking for flame staff). It ended with one guild member gifting me one MS flame staff and I just bought another one from a guild store for 80k.

    Can't wait for Maelstorm Arena grind.
    Let's be extremely precise in our use of terms.

    Thrassian Gloves. 4 days of what felt like endless dull fishing in Arteum to finally get that stupid lead.

    Only for ZOS to nerf the gloves next patch making them basically useless. Thanks........
