Another Mayhem Event, Another Year of Me Asking Zos to Split up the Bag of Veteran's Glory
Roscuro127

There's too much crap in Bag of Veteran's Glory for anyone to hope to get what they want. Someone shouldn't need to spend years like I have trying to get a single style page.
This also isn't the first time this type of issue has popped up. Smart thing to do would be to split the bag into multiple bags like they did with the undaunted chests.
Sure, this might be the lucky year I get the final piece to my dream outfit. It also might not. A little rng is fine, but this is downright ridiculous.

✭✭✭✭Check for the old style pages in guild traders. They should be really cheap if they are old items. I know there are a few things that either super rare or aren’t sellable, though.

PC NA, Ebonsteel Knight Cuirass. Probably one of the top 3 most sought after pieces from the grab bag.katanagirl1 wrote: »Check for the old style pages in guild traders.

There's only one on ttc for 60 million gold. So...not likely.0 -

Are these still dropping from the IC sewer bosses during the event? If so then farming is an option, though I have never had much luck doing that myself.

Djennku✭✭✭✭✭There are usually two mayhem events a year, and the bag only has limited items. If you collect all of the current items, it'll eventually run out and you won't have to worry about it. It takes 2 tickets per item, and if you are on top of the three daily tickets, eventually you'll have everything.@Djennku, PCNA.

Shoot me an in-game mail if you need anything, happy to help!1 -

I've been doing exactly that, grinding through game modes I don't enjoy for the past 2 years, and have yet to get that. Do you not think that sucks massively? Just picture it for any new player who joins in and wants something specific from that bag. "Yeah, just grind out pvp events twice a year and if you're lucky you'll get it quick, if not then you'll be grinding for years."0 -

"You can spend real money." Isn't a serious solution. It's on the level of "You can just stop playing the game then you won't have to worry about grinding bags."3 -

I was after the helm as I bought the chest piece 2ish years ago.
I may have spent crowns on tickets. That *** is an RNG fest I did not get lucky on. I agree with splitting them up, but costing more tokens.Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 25 DLCs. 41 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game.0 -
Estin✭✭✭✭✭The trick is to buy the trash items from guild traders. Pretty much anything less than like 50k. It makes the loot pool much smaller, and you'll start getting items worth 500k+.5 -

I thought about that and started looking up items, and they were all in the millions of gold. There are probably a few that are on the cheaper end, but most of them I already have.0 -

I don't have any Ebonsteel pages, but I may have others that you're missing. If you can figure out which pages you're missing, I'd be happy to send you any that I have.I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!0 -

It's called playing the game. If you want something, you invest time into aquiring it. The other option is to just log off and not play.
Complaining because "you must have X item this minute", and aren't willing to put in the effort required to get the thing you want but expecting it to just be handed to you because you demand it is plain childish.
Everyone else puts in the effort to get things they want in the game, and for any MMO, grinding/farming/etc. is a key feature. ESO is one of the least grindy of them all and for almost everythingin the game, you are near guaranteed to obtain it at some point if you keep playing.

To an extent I agree, but I reiterate, this isn't a grind. It's time gated rng. I didn't even spend years grinding out a legendary weapon in gw2 and those are far more complicated to obtain. It's small minded and obtuse to pretend it's ok to farm for something for years and not get it.
You say I'm not putting the effort in, I've farmed every ticket for every event and spent them all on the veteran bag.
I used all 12 leftover tickets from last event too.
What more can I do?1
