Script Drops Not Curated Any More?

chrisw_63_ESO · August 28

I've filled the Grimoires for Five of my characters using Mages, Fighters, and Undaunted guild dailies. Until the script type from each source was full, I always got scripts I still needed - curated, as expected. Now, halfway thru my sixth character, I'm only getting scripts I already know for the past three days. Anyone know anything about this?

Nevermind... Had my main grab a bunch of the scripts from the Mages' Guild run, and thought this character was one who had grabbed them from the bank. Apparently, he only had one (which is odd...). Fixed.

Yesterday I got a script that my main already knew. So the curation is not perfect even if it works most of the time it doesn't work all the time.

the curation for scripts works as intended from what i can tell

affix, focus, and signature scripts drop from different sources

if you have all of the affix scripts and get a script drop from an affix source, it wont be curated as that character already knows everything

for example, affix scripts only drop from IC dailies, bolgrul daily, and incursion dailies. these source do not drop signature or focus scripts at all

if your character that opens the daily box knows all the affix scripts, those sources give you a random one

and you have to make sure you actually learn them, if its sitting in your inventory it will not count as being known so it could drop again

havent had the curation for scripts fail me since they came out and i have almost 4 characters with 100% script knowledge at this point

My main that I'm using to learn all scripts on first knows all but three affix scripts. Today I got two affix scripts I already knew on my main and zero that I didn't already know. So ya, the curation is not working perfectly even though it seemed to work really well until I got to over 90% of scripts learned in total.

if its is bugged, its not consistent then, ive never had it fail for me on any character (including my main which was 100% scripts within 2 weeks of gold road going live), its always given me something i needed to learn, unless i already had all of that type of script learned (in which case it gave me random)

be warned that not all the scripts are curated drops.

there are scripts that you actually have to run around and pick up in mages guild halls as well which is where a ton of the confusion here lies. its not clear in the documentation.

i did a *** ton of dailies for a month before i realised that..

“Additionally, after completing the Wing of the Dragon, you will be able to find Scripts hidden at certain Mages Guilds across Tamriel.”

And there is an achievement in game listing which specific scripts are sourced from the Mages Guild halls:

And here's one that caught me out:

You *also* get several scripts (1 Focus, 1 Siganture, 2 Affix) from completing the Wing of the Indrik quest. These are occasionally available from the script vendor, but as far as I know they do NOT drop from any of the other sources. So if these are your only missing scripts, then you'll get duplicates from your dailies.

The scripts you get from the Wing quest are available from the Scholarium vendor for a tiny amount of gold (10g). That's how you can distinguish them from the regular rotation of other scripts (which cost thousands). They are always available from the Wing quests (originally got this confused in my notes).

The Class Mastery script also never drops from dailies. There are two distinct and guaranteed methods of acquisition, depending on whether you have the related achievement or not.

It’s really not safe to assume all scripts come from dailies. They could certainly do with a more thorough list in game, but the community also had it covered on day 1.
