I just gotta vent this out. I'm a light armor user and have been trying to complete the Fenris Armor set.

I've been grinding for 14-ish hours for the last THREE days trying to slay enough cultists so that one of them drops a trophy. I'm killing them in Frost Caves for the most part and have cleared EIGHT frost Caves thus far... EIGHT. It's getting to the point now I'm about ready to just skip the Fenris head piece and stay with Root or make the sacrifice and go heavy.

What seriously irritates me about this is that the heavy armor path is *guaranteed* while the light armor path is plagued with intense grinding. Yes, I hear some people find the trophy in the first one or two caves they find, but I see even more posts echoing a sentiment similar to mine. For the equivalent tier heavy armor, I equip the wishbone, spend 30-40 minutes mining some silver and viola! Full heavy armor set in about 1 - 1.5 hours (assuming you also need to sail it home). In comparison, I've spent *at least* 42 hours (over the last 3 or so days) clearing cave after cave to gather the necessary Fenris hairs and hope for a trophy.

Why is the path of light armor so much more of a grind than heavy armor? Why are light armor users punished when light armor is a more challenging path to walk?

Quit your over exaggerated Bull:repoop:

RNG is RNG and it sucks if you find yourself at the lower end. No need for exageration. Even a child can understand that.
