Getting things you like without stealing

Is it even possible? It's currently very unclear what course of action we should follow if we want to acquire the following without stealing/murder, but also without paying a vendor exorbitant prices for it (I'm looking at you, Potato)
  • Recipes
  • Provisioning Ingredients
  • Clothing
  • Immersion Items (Fur-Grooming Kit, Child's Doll, the thousands of other wonderful additions)
  • Racial Stones

I'd love some advice from the designers on this. Are we just missing something, or is it a theft-based economy where some players steal things and then sell them to "honest" players at slightly under vendor value? I would have thought there'd be some means of production or acquisition, yanno?

    You can find those things in areas out of towns that are not owned. They are harder to acquire in that the amount of places to find them may be less, but it's doable.

    yeah in dungeons we can find lot of ingredients, though i have to say it will little bit hard to get motifs and recipes cause finding trunks and shelves in dung's lesser prob than crates and barrels

    Recipes and Motifs are something that will drop from Dwemer, Bosmer or Daedric Urns, plus Khajit Vases , so there are a fair number of Delves/Dungeons and overworld places that you can find them in. Clothing type items will be the hardest to get without thievery, although the market for them is likely allot smaller.

    I doubt that. Will see when 1.6 will be on prod. Based on what I saw they closed 60-80% of all containers where you can get recipes and especially motifs when made them owned. If you count in the influx of new users I would not be surprized to see prices 5-10 times higher than now...

    For those that have some kind of moral issue with stealing in 1.6, think of it this way. You were already stealing before 1.6. You were roaming around taking stuff out of people's storage containers. 1.6 just makes the game realistic enough to notice that you are stealing.

    you miss the point - now you need much more time successfully steal the stuff or pay the price when you will be noticed. This leads to lower number of found motifs/recipes even if everyone will steal them. And you cannot sell it until you will launder it and pay for that. Which cause even more delays and money spend on something which was fast and easy in 1.5.

    Agree - they will be available, but price will be really high as I said in the beginning. Will see. Perhaps they will change something more...

    Glad I still have a number of 'clean' motifs in the bank. Maybe I can finally sell them for a good price! Greedy ***!

    Yep. I'll collect more when update 6 will hit and wait a bit - when all motifs and recipes from guilds will be gone, prices will really skyrocket.
