Staff of worms.

dragonlord500 · February 13

If this staff drops from dolmens it must be a very small chance.

Lazarus_Rising · February 13

Did they announce anything like that? Didnt see it in the patch notes or did i just skip it?

dragonlord500 · February 13

its near the top of the patch notes

dragonlord500 · February 13

it describes the 10th Anniversary event

Lazarus_Rising · February 13

Ah i skipped that but now i see it. Thats awesome!

For information:
Any Dolmen reward chest has a chance to contain a style page for the Staff of Worms Replica, in recognition (though not honor) of Mannimarco’s dark deeds.

dragonlord500 · February 13

yeah im doing the dark archons in the desert right now. no luck so far. ill post an update when it get it. I also cant post screenshots on the forums.

dragonlord500 · February 13

its taking so many dark archons... I need a developer to confirm if its lootable on the PTS or not.

Edit 1: I have done over 100 dolmens in the Alik'r Desert and still no luck.

Edit 2: I can confirm after 200+ dolmens it does have a very very low chance

The note for the sword noted a very small chance while fishing… I would assume that they are all very small chances (i.e. 1% or less).

dragonlord500 · February 13

This extremely low chance for the staff of worms is unacceptable. its suppose to be a celebration not a super massive grind. I hope Zos sees this and changes it before it goes on the live server

Edit: I got the style page. after nearly 300 anchors

final edit: it can be dyed if anyone was wondering

Was the style page character bound?

dragonlord500 · February 14

yes it was.

Soarora · February 14

I'm usually against the grind but honestly I don't mind these styles being super low chance since I believe they're a throwback to the rare now-unobtainable items from lore like how you used to be able to fish up Trueflame. I do wish if they're going to keep it low drop it should be a gift for us year-round though, especially with it being bound.

ADarklore · February 14

First, I think the chance needs to be increased... do you realize how many people are going to be farming Alik'r dolmens when this drops?!? Servers will be crashing left and right.

Second, they need to make it ACCOUNT BOUND... otherwise again... chaos because people will be running Alik'r with all their individual characters.

err the page itself is character bound but the style is account wide.

ApoAlaia · February 14

At least they have put the drop in the chest and not in the boss itself.

Progress?

I don’t have access to PTS, so can someone please post a picture of the staff? And is it similar to the one Mannimarco has in game?

dragonlord500 · February 15

I would but I don't have permission to do so.

DagothCorvia · February 16

Some may disagree with me but I think the small chance needs to be increased a bit (just a small amount) by doing the main quest. It was easier for me to get Trueflame to get the Staff of Worms.

It'd be nice if you could do something to increase the odds to get pages, like how monster set pages have a higher chance by getting a certain achievement. And how long did it take you to get Trueflame?

DagothCorvia · February 16

@MafiaCat115 like 2 and a half fishing holes, but it was surprising because my husband got it after 2 fishes

That's surprisingly good odds compared to the other style pages found so far. Congrats, and hopefully that stays the case

If anyone's managed to get the drop. Does it have a passive particle effect like some monster staves. Haven't found any in game images yet so I've been hoping it has blue flame

I did got it yesterday after 154 dolmens. The only effect is that it looks like it has electricity on it. Far from that, it doesn't give any blue flames.

thats your enchantment. its treated like a normal staff.

My enchantment is a Magicka damage one, is more likely a visual bug then
