Question regarding the class specific styles from IA

So I've got couple of question regarding those styles.
Are they curated? like I'm doing my daily IA on my arc and I got 2 styles for my arc, was I lucky or it drops the styles for the class you play. If that's the case once I collect all arc style will other class style pages drop or I'll have to go in on different classes?
I've read there was an uproar for limiting styles for class, has ZOS addressed it (like will it stay forever that way, or they will think it over?) Cause let's be honest some are really good looking one's and some are quite meh.

    You get all the pages of your class' style first, when you collected all, the others ones will drop for you so no need to switch unless you want to collect a specific style.

    You got TWO style page drops from one run?! Dang, I ran IA multiple times yesterday for a few hours on my Arcanist and didn’t get even one drop.

    You might want to hold onto something before reading this: One of my friends has gotten 3 pages 2 days ago and another 2 yesterday…
    Only page I got was on my first run after the update dropped, after that nothing to this day. 😔

    Yeah I got my first one from the arc 1 thoat's chest and the 2nd one from one of those random bosses than spawn past the 2nd arc mid trash packs.
    I've done 4 arcs that day and didn't receive any after I got my 2nd one on the 2nd arc.
    Ill do IA again today, I wonder if the first arc thoat chest is 100% drop or I just got lucky.

    When I was doing daily IA arc 1 for the mount it took me 3-4 weeks to finish the 7 pages bonus quest that stuff just didn't spawn and then i got like 4 pages in 1 run.

    You got lucky. It isn’t a 100% drop on Tho’at’s chest, because each of my multiple runs yesterday went to Arc 2-3 with multiple Marauders.

    They are curated but they are too rare to get. I think they want us to spend currency on those things. I did almost Arc nine run a few days ago. Got only one page.

    I dont mind their rarity that much.
    What I do mind is that they are class locked.

    Had around 7 pages drop.

    Did duo to Arc 8 twice, only got 1 page during both runs.

    When solo I have been getting a page every 4 arcs or so from different sources. Tho'at, unknown portal chests, and the loot scamp.

    Dang. Seven... I wish I had that kind of luck. I haven't even had one drop!

    I will probably be rained on by style pages since I don’t want them and won’t even be able to sell them… Say, if I’m running with another person is it possible to not loot such a thing and let the other person take it? I read this was possible with the BoP books from Scrivener’s Hall.

    it took me 4 archive runs this week in order to get 1 style page drop lol

    got all 5 mythic leads within 2 runs though (one of those runs i stopped at the end of arc 1 lol)

    RNG be all over the place, but the style pages definitely seem pretty rare, or rarer than they should be considering they are A ) bound and B ) still class locked

    i have my main house (grand topal hideaway) listed in the housing tours, it has multiple target dummies, scribing altar, and grandmaster stations (in progress being filled out), as well as almost every antiquity furnishing on display to preview them

    feel free to stop by and use the facilities

    It feel like the farther we go the less chance for a drop, might be just conpiricy but usually I don't get any styles past the 2nd arc

    Do the style pages drop exclusively from Tho'at's and the Marauders' chests or can they drop from the interstitial bosses too?

    Wait, so are other class pages account-bound instead of character-bound?

    I've gotten so many style pages from IA and won't even wear them. I'd much rather get furniture plan drops I actually want to use; the new ones are WAY too infrequent. I hoped maybe more plans would start dropping once the SPs were done :(

    all style pages are account bound, however it's only possible to use the class styles of your own class sadly

    Did another run over the weekend to Arc 9, I got 2 pages and my partner got 4.

    I don't think a single one came from Tho'at, only unknown portals and Gw the Pilferer

    The class-bound style pages I've been getting were character-bound.

    So if you finish your own class's style (I apparently have), Springey said you start getting other classes pages – then those necessarily must be account- rather than character-bound. So then it's inventory-tetris (sending them to toons who can learn them, if you even have one of that class?) or deleting. :/ I'd rather not get more at all

    Wait so let's say I'm done with 1 class and I start getting differnt one's I can't consume it on the wrong class? Like I know I can't equip it, but I can't consume it assuming it's not on the right class? if that's the case that's a bit of a yikes cause in theory while low chance I could get the same style page.

    I think there’s a misunderstanding, you can use the style pages on your character, any style in the game you learn will be available for every other in the outfit station. So, if you got all Nobility in Decay pages on one Necro and decide to make another, you can apply the style to your outfit just fine. You can consume the other class styles on your Necro and they will be available for every other character of your class that can use it.

    Motifs are a little different, once you learn a motif, they become available for all your characters at the outfit station, but only the character that learned the motif can actually use it for crafting. But that’s not the concern here

    why would we not be able to read the pages on whatever character picked it up?

    yea you can consume style pages no matter what. i think even the Undaunted style pages from Filer Ool are character bound.

    you don't have to read style pages with other characters as the outfit styles are account bound

    Right, I've since collected more pages and saw for myself.

    As everyone's saying, you can read them on any character.

    In my case I do not have, for example, a templar, and will not ever use that style, so I deleted some pages. (Honestly, mostly due to being annoyed, lol. Because of how often I've been in there and how common all the drops are - except the new furnishing plans. I could have just read the style pages; the end result is the same anyway.)

    But by deleting the Templar style page, it stays in your drop pool and you can get it over and over and over again. Reading it will remove it from your drop pool, increasing chance of getting something you do want on subsequent runs.
