So there is an artifact weapon set in mod 16 that to my knowledge, doesn't drop anywhere. It says in the tooltip that it might drop in expeditions (there are question marks after the word expeditions) but nobody seems to be getting these weapons. I thought maybe the new dungeon would drop them and that this was tooltip error but still have yet to see anyone that has this set. When I asked about this set in chat, players said this set was unobtainable.
Here is screenshot of this set:

I wouldn't mind some riddle solving in order to get particular items in game, but that "you can find it in: Expeditions - ??" is definitely too vague to be interpreted and nobody to my knowledge has ever dropped a single mainhand or offhand of that set. There are beholders in the expeditions but nothing ever dropped other than standard 950 items, the daily quest rewards the Alabaster Set and there are no other sets linked to expeditions.
Some insight about the way to obtain these weapons would be appreciated. It's a nice looking set and it would be a shame for it to be unobtainable for a reason or another.
"With so many new adventurers showing up in Undermountain upsetting the wildlife, some of the more dangerous creatures are going to come out to play. And if you are willing to lure out and defeat these rare monsters, you are sure to get their rare treasures! These summoned rare monsters drop hard-to-find armor pieces, vanity pets, and one of the best weapons sets you can find in Undermountain, the Watcher set! "
So, if there's a riddle here it must be about some kind of hunt or a way to summon a beholder or some creatures...
Or something that was changed before the release of mod 16 and the info is now messed up.
Vanrakdoom has a Gelatinous Cube and Drider
Wyllowwood has an Owlbear
Twisted Caverns has a Tyrannosaurus
There is a named Rust Monster in Waning Darkness.
Apart from the poorly thought out found quest from the dino in Twisted, none of them have dropped anything for me.
I think they are also supposed to drop the currency for Zox's vanity chest as well.
If it's not too revealing, may we know if expeditions are actually involved in the process to get that particular set? The new mod is huge and any hint would be helpful.
Lets try to solve this...
It says "summon creatures".... and this being an easter egg, what can be? where?? what kind???
Creatures from the D&D Lore? Inside expeditions, as the devs post mentions it??

I'm afraid this will be another occasion in which console players will have the advantage of postponed content release: less bugs, no scaling issues and, on top, a nice looking weapon set available before it's too late
As for getting the watcher set, one hypothesis is that you have to "summon" the runic beasts and that they have a chance to drop those items. Possibly this has something to do with the "Essence of X" items - considering they can be opened/used, and not just used as restoration ingredients ... or maybe those are totally unrelated.
Possibly there is something like a summoning circle somewhere in the ME maps, and you have to do something special there.
It is possible that these items have an addictional function other than simple restoration materials for the armor sets, but still I'm not been able to pinpoint their use. Their names have a strong connection to the lore in Vanrakdoom and I suppose they could be some kind of lure to those rare monster described in the developer's blog.
If someone has suggestions or other ideas about where the Watcher's set can be obtained, feel free to share

So far I've found three different items called Essence of Regret (icon shows some kind of hoof, like the ones of a Goristro), Essence of Despair (a broken mask adorned with feathers) and Essence of Longing (an hilt of a broken rapier). The names remind me strongly of Umbraxxar memories of Vanrak in Vanrakdoom during one of the campaign quests, so I went on that UM layer and tried to use those items in the general areas where the visions appeared. Unluckily this didn't lead anywhere but, reading the flavor text of the items, it leads to believe that those items are related to some kind of longing to fight in an undisclosed area where "the thirst to fight can be quenched".

The essences themselves are not the restoration materials needed for Successor armorpieces. The list in the "restore" menu has "awakened" essences in it.
I'm roaming Vanrakdoom to see if having those items in inventory or by clicking on them does something but, at least till now, I didn't have any luck.
Maybe it's related with those grayish forcefields during expeditions? Maybe they're more than a debuff/mobs buffs area?
