Oaken Order Style Grind going out of hand!

PaceyLionheart · October 2022

My experience in the event the first three days: Made daily quests with main character got Oaken Order Style Page from first or second box (which tbh is a bit too high of a drop chance). After the third day on the 4th day (yesterday) and today it became insanely low! I needed 43 boxes and all my 9 characters dailies yesterday to get the page and I got it at 11pm in the night! Today its 9 pm and I am at 32 boxes and nothing again!! all dailies on the characters are finished and now I have to farm volcanic vents to get event boxes, which only every 3rd or 4th drops so far.. Did they lower the chance from 50% to 2% or something? Just why? I am so close to actually not care about the events anymore... fun gets transformed to frustration in an instant with this. Please Zos, make the chance like 10% and thats low enough. Pretty please! I can even beg if you want me to!

Just your luck. I didn't get page at first day at all. And I still need to open more then 10 coffers to get one.

It seems to be luck. So far, I have only had to open 5-10 boxes per day to get a style page drop and got a drop each day so far. I'm only doing it on 1 character though, since style pages are account wide, so I'm not farming High Isle dailies on 100 different alts.

Is nearly a week and I got just one of these style pages even when I complete the High Isle dailies on 8 characters along with the ones other players share in chat. Previous event I was able to have duplicates to trade. Now I believe I am forced to buy crowns in order to spend them on getting tickets so I can complete the set.

Well, then I am paying dearly for it now. So much, in fact, that I cannot even get it today, it seems.

Okay I got a dupe after 36 boxes.. what a luck

I got pages from the first five or ten boxes on each day of the event. Naturally, two of the four were repeats. I do wish it was possible to get more than one page per day, because keeping unopened boxes for the next day is taking a toll on my inventory.

Edit: I should know better than to open my big mouth, so to speak. Today it took me almost 60 boxes to get a damned style page. Guess what: it was another repat.

I tried on the chest piece already for sale in the traders, and it looks bad on my toon, so I'm saved all the hassle.

Urgh.... no pages for me today. Wish I could farm 60 boxes per day but have to work.

Didn’t get any style page from the gold box, but did receive a dress up Elena doll. Wish they can be converted to furnishings, as there have been a number of amusing treasures that popped up.

Bastian, for example, should find the werewolf erotica collection educational….

1% (exemple, I don't know the drop rate) drop chance does not mean that you will necessarily have what you are looking for every 100 boxes. It just means you have a one-in-a-hundred chance of getting what you’re looking for, whatever the box.

If you’re lucky, you can have it the first time. If you have bad luck, you could have nothing on 200 open boxes. Same for 50%.

I've been doing the event on multiple toons across two servers and have had a total of three pages, two arm-cops and one belts (none of those came from the 'special' box either). If it's correct that we can only get one a day then it should be a guaranteed drop in the gold box.
