I need 2 sets of jorvuld jewelry, but I already got them in the sticker book.

So thx for the bloody new drop system joevuld Necklace and rings won't even have the freaking chance to drop until I run scp 20+ times getting useless weapons just to complete sticker book.

And wait, I need drakes jewelries too, and guess what? Now I have to run BDV 18, yes, 18 times minimum for jewelries to start dropping

Wait..oh no, I need medusa jewelry and tzogvin jewelry too, fetching fetch.

Don't tell me to reconstruct either, purple plating is 60k per piece.

Can you like, make curated drops a toggle in the settings or something? I don't want garbage weapons, I want purple jewelry.

    You could just trade with other players in your group. Or open chests in dungeons which aren’t beholden to RNG curation.

    Sigh you just can’t win…

    And here I thought nobody can come up with the reason to complain about a system that should reduce the grind efforts. But forums never cease to amaze. :^)

    Before curated, there was still no guarantee you'd ever see a second ring in your lifetime after all.

    The benefit of getting all those 'useless' other weapons is the cost reduction for reconstructing. Sure plates are expensive but you can make enough money for the plates probably faster than running SCP 20 times.

    You might still get jewelry from chests and mobs.

    Sure...chests, 1/66 chance of dropping, compare to pre patch where it's like 50% chance of a jewelry drop for final boss.

    Edit: and since everyone's gonna be farming the weapon they want, I imagine there will be a lot of rushing and speed runs.....RIP getting Chests. I can already imagine people rushing ahead and skipping half of BDV ignoring my pleas to do side bosses and get Chests.

    And guess what? Almost everyone that played dungeons pre patch probably had the jewelries in sticker already. You hear people missing a staff or dagger in stickerbook, not a ring

    Watch the price for purple plating skyrocket once purple jewelries from vet dungeons stop dropping for everyone

    Then make sure to open some chests along the way, they'll be old school RNG system. Ask your team mates for spare pieces. Deconstruct the purple jewellery you don't need and refine the grains for platings. There are so many options available to you to still succeed in getting these with very little effort, apart from buying the platings.

    It's not an issue. OP deliberately refuses to use reconstruction option available to them which would solve it instantly. As was noted above, curated or not, jewelry drops are not guaranteed anyway. Ask group mates, loot the chests, kill all mobs. None of this is affected by curated drops. People just like to complain about most ridiculous things.

    New system is more grind if you want repeated jewelries.

    Assuming it would take 50 runs for me to get drakes ring last patch

    It would take me 68 runs minimum to get drakes Ring right now because I have 18 missing weapons from BDV

    1 purple plating is 65k+ on PCNA

    3 plating to upgrade blue to purple

    2 rings and 1 necklace

    65k x 3 × 3 = 585000

    585000 gold to get a full set of purple jewelries, assuming the new drop system won't rise the price of platings of course.

    Before this change you had a 1/45 chance of getting a specific piece, which meant you could run this for a week non stop and not get a second ring to drop. Thats the reason why the printing system was introduced.

    The price for purple platings is not an issue at all, given how easy you can get money in the game.

    And? It's your choice to not use it still. How is it new system's fault?

    I swear, you can never please this community. Transmutes were introduced, set collections were introduced, fixed drops were introduced - and people still find ways to be unhappy.

    It was not, final boss had 50% chance of dropping a jewelry, 50% a weapon.

    And with the new system, if I need a second ring, i have to kill the final boss 30+ times collecting everything for even the chance to drop

    Which meant I can run this for a month and still have near 0% chance of getting my purple ring

    1) Now you’re guaranteed to eventually get the jewelry that you want in the firstplace. Maybe this isn’t an issue for you, but I remember doing a number of runs just to get a Jorvuld’a ring at all.

    2) Reconstruction probably serves your needs better anyway. Sure, sometimes the base trait is what you want, but often infused is better. Reconstruction costs as little as 25 transmutation crystals if you have the whole set (which you can now complete faster with curated drops) plus upgrade material.

    3) As others have pointed out, you can still get jewelry from chests and other sources and once you complete the set, it goes back to being random just like before.

    I really do try to see other viewpoints, but I really can’t find anything to complain about here.

    The sheer amount of weapons i frequently got let me doubt that assumtion.

    6 magdps

    Kinras and tzogvin will be meta

    Kinras tzogvin are medium armor sets from dungeons

    36 piece of jewelry

    See what I'm getting at?

    It's just magdps I'm talking about btw. And only 2 sets. You can have up to 18 characters.

    Sure, you got me. ZOS employee right here.
    Their concern is made up because even without new system there is NO GUARANTEE to get a jewelry piece, let alone from a needed set. You could literally ran SCP 20+ times and get nothing but duplicate weapons.

    For people who are worried about the difference between blue and purple jewelry on a set that has a 5th piece bonus that is static, regardless of the upgrade on the set, I would argue that that amount of gold is pocket change.

    In fact, the only difference with Blue Jewelry and Purple Jewelry for Jorvoulds is a whopping 6 magicka recovery.

    6

    So, really the consideration should be, why even bother with purple jewelry for the set. 6 recovery.

    You can just spend 25 transmutes to craft the rings in blue quality and you literally only lose 6 recovery.

    So yeah, not a real problem.

    And wait, I need drakes jewelries too, and guess what? Now I have to run BDV 18, yes, 18 times minimum for jewelries to start dropping

    Wait..oh no, I need medusa jewelry and tzogvin jewelry too, fetching fetch.

    Don't tell me to reconstruct either, purple plating is 60k per piece.

    Can you like, make curated drops a toggle in the settings or something? I don't want garbage weapons, I want purple jewelry.

    Before this change you had a 1/45 chance of getting a specific piece, which meant you could run this for a week non stop and not get a second ring to drop. Thats the reason why the printing system was introduced.

    The price for purple platings is not an issue at all, given how easy you can get money in the game.

    It was not, final boss had 50% chance of dropping a jewelry, 50% a weapon.

    And with the new system, if I need a second ring, i have to kill the final boss 30+ times collecting everything for even the chance to drop

    Which meant I can run this for a month and still have near 0% chance of getting my purple ring

    Except that’s not at all how the curation or drops work.

    Final boss had a 1/15 chance of dropping a ring. 2/15 chance of jewelry. Final boss only drops weapons or jewelry.

    Then the RNG starts weighting towards whatever is left in your set collection to get. That DOES NOT mean you or other players will only get items you’re missing. Just a greater chance to get specific items as you clear more often. Anytime you clear the boss one of your four group members has a chance of getting the piece you want. And they also have the chance to get it from the two chests in the dungeons.

    Lastly, idk what’s wrong with crafting blue jewelry. Especially on a set with the 5th piece bonus is static and doesn’t scale with blue/purple/gold jewelry.

    This seriously is a non-existent problem.

    But sure, I'll bite. You lose a total of 210 spell damage running blue bloodthirsty. Which, the only way to obtain bloodthirsty on dropped gear is to spend 50 transmutes. So 150 transmutes that you cannot get back for 3 jewelry pieces that you would have still needed the RNG to drop them all. Compared to just 75, completely refundable, transmutes, and minus 210 spell damage (situational spell damage I might add) and minus 6 recovery.

    It's really not a problem to lose just 210 spell damage and not spend gold or time grinding for a very unsubstantial stat increase.

    I need 2 sets of jorvuld jewelry, but I already got them in the sticker book.

    So thx for the bloody new drop system joevuld Necklace and rings won't even have the freaking chance to drop until I run scp 20+ times getting useless weapons just to complete sticker book.

    And wait, I need drakes jewelries too, and guess what? Now I have to run BDV 18, yes, 18 times minimum for jewelries to start dropping

    Wait..oh no, I need medusa jewelry and tzogvin jewelry too, fetching fetch.

    Don't tell me to reconstruct either, purple plating is 60k per piece.

    Can you like, make curated drops a toggle in the settings or something? I don't want garbage weapons, I want purple jewelry.

    Before this change you had a 1/45 chance of getting a specific piece, which meant you could run this for a week non stop and not get a second ring to drop. Thats the reason why the printing system was introduced.

    The price for purple platings is not an issue at all, given how easy you can get money in the game.

    It was not, final boss had 50% chance of dropping a jewelry, 50% a weapon.

    And with the new system, if I need a second ring, i have to kill the final boss 30+ times collecting everything for even the chance to drop

    Which meant I can run this for a month and still have near 0% chance of getting my purple ring

    Except that’s not at all how the curation or drops work.

    Final boss had a 1/15 chance of dropping a ring. 2/15 chance of jewelry. Final boss only drops weapons or jewelry.

    Then the RNG starts weighting towards whatever is left in your set collection to get. That DOES NOT mean you or other players will only get items you’re missing. Just a greater chance to get specific items as you clear more often. Anytime you clear the boss one of your four group members has a chance of getting the piece you want. And they also have the chance to get it from the two chests in the dungeons.

    Lastly, idk what’s wrong with crafting blue jewelry. Especially on a set with the 5th piece bonus is static and doesn’t scale with blue/purple/gold jewelry.

    This seriously is a non-existent problem.

    Ah yes...non existing

    I'm sure my group will be a-ok with me wearing blue jewelry

    Or what are the chances I happens to have millions of excess gold lying around

    If I'm understanding the new system correctly, this is why smart RNG is good: it will create a new economic factor.

    Now, someone that has only jewelry slots open will be able to sell that they'll guarantee a ring/necklace to trade. In your case, find someone that has more chances to get Drake's Ring, group with them, and have them trade you the ring--probably for a price.

    And here I thought nobody can come up with the reason to complain about a system that should reduce the grind efforts. But forums never cease to amaze. :^)

    It's rude to make light of others concern for this issue

    It's not an issue. OP deliberately refuses to use reconstruction option available to them which would solve it instantly. As was noted above, curated or not, jewelry drops are not guaranteed anyway. Ask group mates, loot the chests, kill all mobs. None of this is affected by curated drops. People just like to complain about most ridiculous things.

    It is an issue, but one that will eventually resolve itself after the sticker book fills up. After that, things return to the way they were before the curated system was introduced. Sure, it might take a little longer, especially for newer players, but eventually, they will get there.

    As for using the Star Trek replicator... that is great, if you are making CP 160 gear. The replicator fuel isn't very efficient, so it can take a lot of it to make what you want. If all you want is a throwaway set to use while leveling up, it isn't worth it. I'm actually not even sure if the replicator can make something that isn't CP 160...

    I dont understand, what's the problem with a toggle? Between the old and new system?

    I'm not taking your beloved curated drops from you
