I don't know how you get out of bed in the morning LonePirate.
Not getting something within the first 48 hours would be a refreshing change imo...
If you got 1 scrap/hour, that means someone playing 10 hours/day could get a full dwemer set in one week, while it'd take a month or so (or a lot of money) for someone who doesn't play that much. Sounds fine.

I made a frame, now to find a chapter I guess...

You found 10 in a single hour? Congrats! I really got hosed yesterday when I only found 2 in about 2 hours.

Nirncrux is already something you can go 48 or more hours without finding. This game does not need another item like that.
And there is no guarantee you will get a full Dwemer set after the 70 hours in your example. You might have 70 Dwemer scraps or a smaller number of refined Dwemer Frame style stones; but you may not have any gear, let alone a full set. You still need the motif chapters or book and that drop rate is anyone's guess right now.
Personally I liked the fact I had to search 'hard' for these parts. Something to add longevity is exactly what this game needs. Too many players with a "want it now" attitude are spoiling this game !

The Imperial Motif book is already the rarest item in the game. The four epic/purple motif books are a lot more rare than before. Nirncrux stones are exceptionally rare. The Dwemer motifs look to be rare as well. How many very difficult to find items do you need or want in this game? Then there are the rare loot drops.
It's one thing to ask for something to be rare to make it challenging to find. It is another thing entirely to make it next to impossible to find thus demotivating players from ever looking for it.
There are 15 chapters to this motif. Given how tough it is to find the four epic motif books recently, now add 15 more items that are equally as rare. The difficulty in finding them will make people quit first which is not what this game needs.

I think Mtharnaz (in the southwest section of Craglorn) is a Dwemer ruin.

Rkundzelft in the eastern Craglorn and Rkhardahrk in central Craglorn are also Dwemer ruins.
Containers in dwemer's caves drop the recipes, not mobs.LonePirate wrote: »I spent some time yesterday taking my VR14 EP character on a hunt for materials for the new Dwemer style. From the ESO Live show, I knew to head to the Dwemer locales so that is where I went.
My first stop was Inner Sea Armiture in Stonefalls. This is a level 5 delve for me and the Dwemer mobs dropped nothing which is unsurprising but I thought there might be a slim chance they could drop one of the new items. I also searched the few containers and found nothing of interest.
I moved to Bthzark in VR1 Stros M'Kai to try my luck. Despite killing dozens of Dwemer mobs, no new Dwemer materials dropped and I found nothing in the containers. The old Dwemer gears which can be sold dropped like snowflakes in a blizzard.
I then travelled to VR5 Bangkorai and I entered Razak's Wheel. I killed several dozen Dwemer constructs and elite mobs for which I received 2 of the new Dwemer Scrap pieces. Unfortunately, you need 10 of them before you can refine these scrap parts into something useable. More on that in a bit.
I did not find any Dwemer motif chapters or the book so I headed to VR6 Vulkhel Guard to see if I could farm one at the bank. I quit after 30 minutes of nothing.
So, I spent about two hours in total killing Dwemer mobs and I received 2 scraps. Once I have 10 of them, I can refine them into Dwemer Frames which are the Dwemer style stones like bone or corundum. This is a new routine compared to the other styles. Once I have a Dwemer Frame, I can use void cloth, void ingots or night wood (for example) to craft a Dwemer weapon or piece of armor.
Did anyone else have any luck finding these Dwemer scraps or the new motif book/chapters? Does this seem like another long grind? Is it worth the time investment?
