...that we're still getting pet fragments drop on phase 2? I thought the caltrops one would replace them. I got the pet towards the end of phase 1 so if the new only has half the drop rate I'm going to struggle to get it

    Are the caltrops ones dropping at all? I got more scales than I need but not a single caltrop.

    They're supposed to be in phase 2, which PS EU has started. But like I said, I'm just getting pet parts

    If I don’t see any caltrops dropping phase 2 PCEU I will definitely open a ticket. Perhaps they are bugged.

    on Playstation EU i am getting the Caltrops Bone shards,
    the Haj Mota fragments do still drop but seem less likely to drop in phase 2 compared to phase 1

    Hi folks. Just wanted to follow up on this. Pet fragments are still earnable in phase two and three of the event. So that is working as intended.

    I have confirmation from the team that the caltrops are indeed dropping on the live server and those who are in phase 2. So this is working as intended as well.

    That's disappointing. If they only have half the drop rate of the pet it'll be a stretch to finish.

    The game needs to prioritize giving you a fragment for whichever one you DON'T already have before dropping fragments for something you already have collected. It is crap like this that contributes to making the reward bags from these events feel so crappy.

    It's the same trash with the witches festival bags; I've gotten constant drops of gold pages from past years that I've already collected and are completely worthless but only one page from the new style - the one I'm actually trying to get, because there is NO meaningful rewards prioritization. If I roll a page/fragment drop for an event it should ALWAYS drop the new thing FIRST if it hasn't dropped that day. ZOS needs to fix this crap.

    Is it at least in SOME way curated? @ZOS_Kevin or is it just the newest irritation of this event that you will drown in pet fragments and struggle to finish the style...

    Edit: reread this and I don't meant to sound annoyed towards you Kevin, apologies if it comes across that way, this has just been such a massive disappointment.

    Not curated at all, I've got the pet but only had that from boxes so far. It's only the first day but even so

    That... Is so disappointing, but somehow not surprising :( thanks for letting us know!

    Can we PLEASE put old event rewards in the grab bags? This should be standard. We're just inflating the drop pools with stuff nobody cares about.

    There's no such grab bag for the wall but the coffers should, at minimum, prioritize giving you fragments of stuff you haven't already collected fully.

    When I open a plunder skull and receive my 38th Dremora daggers and my 27th Glenmoril Wyrd gloves I just eyeroll. You can barely give them away, they're worthless to sell, so you either flood guild banks with them or destroy them.

    ZOS has said that all Writhing Wall event rewards except the title earned for bringing down the wall in Phase 3 will remain available after the event. There isn't a time limit on finishing the pet and Caltrops style.

    Do you think so? I ask only because I get so many pet fragments that I can't give them away fast enough. Sometime soon I'll have to start destroying them just so I don't start building a second stack.
