Font of Auri-El. That lead still hasn't dropped despite many hours of farming for it.

I've killed hundreds of Gryphons and never once gotten the feather lead.

So, after reading this thread I go into game on new alt and the Imperial motif immediately drops for me.

Not everyone's! I snagged the fragment from someone in zone chat a few months back! Now I just need to track down about a dozen more furnishing plans and my crafter will be 100% complete!

The trick is that by the time you've found it, you've spent so much time in Cyro that you don't need it any more.

Virtually no one eats a 30 minute food that costs millions of gold per serving (including the cost of the recipe, 400,000+ gold per serving if you buy it from someone else on PC/NA). The only reason it is desirable is for completionists who must learn every recipe in the game.

indeed. they really need to make both recipe and ingredients easier to obtain. or at the very least give us a use for it beyond the level cap.

What did you pay for the fragment?

To be honest, i think this one is the rarest item existing in ESO by far. Only 2 people have found it to this day, that one is for sale rn on PC-EU. I believe its even rarer than the Morrowind Banner.

yep been after this for ages, i got every recipe every motif, basically everything learnt/looted apart from this Chef Arquitius's Lost Thesis

Does anyone know if this can drop for any BG player or only if you’ve learned the 50% and 100% recipes?

Basbor

I also still need/want the Lost Thesis on PC-NA to upgrade one of my Molten War Torte recipes... no luck so far.

The game's RNG is a fecking arse...

KiltMaster

I've been hunting (and never found) one of those vvardenfell tri-fold paintings

Would love to get one some day

don't think it matters, supposedly more chance if you are the winning team but no idea about that, id like to hear from ones that have found it under what exact circumstances

I can confirm these drop. I have found one in three years of playing on various accounts and servers. Sold it on PC NA for about twelve million.

I've purchased two now for 3.8 million and 4.5 million. My crafter devoured one and I'll most likely sell the other one for a handsome profit.

Mourning Dew and Banner of the Sixth House.

I've farmed more nodes in Cyrodiil than every other zone combined and not once has Mourning Dew dropped. I've gotten multiple Colovian War Torte recipes but never this ingredient.

Banner of the Sixth House I'm convinced is a broken drop lol.

yeah, all the war torte stuff is way too hard to find to actually server it's purpose. chances are you'll hit Alliance Rank 50 long before you get any of the better war tortes, especially not the White Gold War Torte

I am beginning to think this does not drop anymore.

I farmed a route in Shadowfen for countless hours before I got it to drop.

Same on both. Starting to wonder if Mourning Dew still drops or that there’s some sort of prerequisite for it to drop.

That, and Brass Anklets. Not going to bother and try to farm either, though.

Yeah, I've found 28 recipes, but only one Dew. And I've harvested 50,000+ nodes in Cyro.

And I don't recall what type of material node it was. I was just so surprised to see it that I totally forgot to note it.

This is why your crafter should be an Imperial. So you don't need to look for this motif. I must say, this one is something I just gave up on hoping to find a long time ago. I swear, I got that Ae--something Dust thing twice already, but I have never gotten this motif.

The brass anklet was an long grind, think it was my last monster trophy.
Farmed the nerid world boss in Greenshade and Reaper Marsh enough for two kill 30 world bosses endeavors.
Also the nerids in Greenshade inside that cave involved with the Bosmers eating poison to kill their enemies.
Then I finally did it killing 10 water creatures there.

i somehow found like 2 or 3 of those imperial books without even trying, found two of them in a container near Vivec city in less than a month back in 2021. havent found any since then tho, idk if they changed something at the drop rates.

wow. what an awful translation. don't tell me they translated the Empire as "Das Kaiserreich"? I'm so glad I learned english well enough before I started playing this game... also, I think I found that thing once or twice over the course of the almost 4000h I have in this game.

I was recently talking about a campfire Motif in the Players Helping players section....for the life of me I can't see why that is rare, why not just put it on the crown store?
